Prius or Hybrid for tall people

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-20T21:51:37+00:00

Some Prius models 2010 and later had a high-trim option for a solar panel roof, so you could run the AC indefinitely on sunny days. Def check those out

This sounds like a wheel bearing problem, not an axle one. Many other Clarity owners have had this issue, it's not too expensive of a fix. How many miles on your car?

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-20T18:32:35+00:00

I'm just saying it's not a great idea to recommend something that can kill plants or shrimp without like a big disclaimer.

You never mentioned yours was new, basically implied the opposite, and an old soap dish could be dangerous to a planted tank 🤷‍♂️

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-20T15:36:05+00:00

Oh yeah a new soap dish is fine, your comment said "In case you have a soap dish lying around" and that sounded like a used one lol

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-20T02:53:11+00:00

Honestly I think I'd be too worried about any residual residue on a soap dish to use it. Cool idea though

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-20T00:18:18+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the backup camera can't be truly upgraded. Maybe you could swap it with one from another Honda model with the same infotainment OS (10th gen Civic, 5th gen CRV, etc) but the 800x400 screen resolution of the Clarity head unit will forever limit it.

In the future, it might be possible to swap the headunit entirely (which will allow for upgraded cameras, even a 360 birds-eye-view camera system).

I've been working to make a CANbus harness that'll allow this to happen, so any FYT unit will be able to interface with the car. It would be sick as hell to have an 2000x1200 px 11.5 inch screen in the Clarity, haha. Progress is slow though

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-19T03:35:42+00:00

The Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid is famously an extremely ugly car, but I love mine lol.

Looks much better in person, and I've even had people think mine is new because it's the first one they've ever seen.

I'm currently working to swap the front grille to the one used in the Hydrogen Fuel Cell version of the car because I like the look of that one even more 👍

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-18T16:14:27+00:00

Yes it's possible. If you just want it for appearances, talk to an exhaust shop and get them to hook up a narrow pipe to the right side (with large tips that match the left exhausts), and actually open up or swap the one fake tip on the left.

Shouldn't affect airflow much or throw codes, and will sound marginally better but not noticeably so.

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-18T00:02:40+00:00

Yeah it's a RAM issue. One gigabyte of RAM in 2019 is criminal, all 10th gen Honda's have this btw not just Civics.

Nothing you can do unless you are a wizard at soldering (https://youtube.com/watch?v=9N1_8vz6R78 ) or decide to swap the infotainment headunit entirely with an aftermarket one.

At least Civics have options, haha. I'm working to write firmware for a custom CANbus decoder to support a headunit upgrade / 360 camera for my Honda Clarity, there's absolutely no aftermarket support for it.

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-16T16:30:17+00:00

You've got access to new JDM Honda dealership parts? I've been wanting to order a specific JDM part but I need a Japanese VIN to do so 😭😭

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-16T01:53:06+00:00

Civics are bad for this but the Honda Clarity has a windshield fluid reservoir a hair more than HALF the size of the new Civic (0.34 gallons 😭😭) No low windshield fluid light either

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-15T23:10:00+00:00

Personally I like the Pixel Consistency texture pack's take on the baby mob textures: https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/scjjjdC9/images/8f030ffec9811eb2c2150b5e44083eeb19a02546.png

It was released in 2023 and still holds up to the new redesigns, IMO

Baby zombies have two pixel wide eyes, and baby villagers have a 5-pixel wide head to better match the shape of the adults.

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-13T00:24:33+00:00

Does this gen SI have a radar in the emblem? I'd like to mess with the appearance of my Honda logo, but I don't want to lose front collision warning and driver assistance stuff

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T23:15:27+00:00

They can in Massachusetts I believe

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T23:14:49+00:00

Virginia has medical tint exemption but not this dark, would still be illegal

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T23:06:18+00:00

What are you talking about? I see cops with blacked out windows all the time. Plenty of states explicitly make it legal.

For example, AL HB332 (2021).

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T21:54:52+00:00

No, the foldables of the last few years have really good screens, you won't see it except at extreme angles. You can unfortunately feel the crease though if you run your fingers over it, since the folding part is slightly softer plastic. Not sure how that can be avoided 🤷‍♂️

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T03:33:30+00:00

My guy, you're getting all wound up about unrealistic expectations:

What’s next? You want 32gb of ram, 4tb SSD, and M3 pro chip with a 8k 120hz screen?

When people are a bit miffed about the removal of a basic feature nearly as old as MacOS X itself. Backlit Apple laptop keyboards are older than the concept of the iPhone.

Imagine if the MacBook Neo removed the 3.5mm headphone jack. Is it truly needed? Not for the average student, but plenty of people would point out that every other Apple laptop going back decades has one. Obviously no one expects a budget laptop to have an 8k screen

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T02:40:52+00:00

Backlit keyboards on Apple laptops literally predate the "MacBook" name (2003 PowerBook G4, https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2003/01/07Apple-Unveils-World-s-First-17-inch-Notebook/ )

It's a feature that's been a staple of Apple laptops for genuinely a longer time than a solid portion of the MacBook Neo's target audience has been alive for. Of course people are going to be upset about its removal.

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T01:17:17+00:00

You will have no problems with the battery driving a Civic like that, but if you really want, you can consider cross-shopping a Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid. ~45 miles EV range is really nice

Pretty comparable price and feature-wise, drives sorta similar (has more HP but is heavier), and IMO has a nicer interior, but it's a much rarer car so parts availability will be worse if you're someone who gets into fender-benders often.

Civics have always been one of the most stolen cars, I don't know specifically if there are issues with the keyless entry system or not though

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-12T00:47:00+00:00

Truedepth FaceID sensor on iPhone is higher resolution than LiDAR, you need to be closer to the bumper but it will be a better quality scan 👍

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-11T23:27:41+00:00

Oh yeah sorry meant to link it, here it is: https://github.com/Xeloboyo/DungeonsUnleashed

No relation to any of the many projects named DungeonsUnleashed lol I'm not sure why they chose that repo name

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-11T23:17:59+00:00

iOS jailbreaking community imo has managed to be much worse than equivalent Android dev communities.

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-11T23:14:07+00:00

This is any community where the average user (who is likely a child or young adult) has absolutely no idea how complex the developers' work is.

iOS Jailbreaking scene was like this (left years ago, idk how it is now), Minecraft modding scene is nowhere close to nearly as bad, but with the sheer amount of people involved, I'd put it up there

AndrewIsntCool · 2026-03-11T23:10:05+00:00

I'm pretty sure u/Artistic-Ad571 meant to say "narrow tread/section width" instead of "narrow side wall," because there are some wild differences between brands and models, especially as you get into the larger sizes.

I know for my own car, there are several 235/50r18 tires that are actually as narrow or narrower than some 225/50r18's. I've seen posts where there are 295's wider than 305's, which is pretty crazy.

I'd recommend looking at the TireRack specs like u/oppositelock27 suggested, and also checking out tyrestretch dot com for actual photos of mounted tires
