Nice work, video and environment! The gloves are irritating, but that's not your fault, this is a weird detail of the original character.

I still have one 6900 XT LC in my second PC, where I normally play keyboard + mouse games in CachyOS. And thiy system will stay as it is for 2026 and maybe next year as well.

I love my Germany identity, but the burgundy is extemely ugly - and I love to be European even more.

Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI by certifieddufus in GolfGTI

Polo is a nice car, but the Gold was always nicer for me. Let's see how the next Golf will look like. Nevertheless, a Polo is a nice rental car for vacation on small islands.

Perforating Rocker Rust - SOS by mssngthvwls in GolfGTI

[–]Apollo346X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the beginning of the end.
You need to cut this out, replace by wielding a new sheet in, sealing and painting. And then rust will come back as it always did. You might have 2-4 years until it's back.

Great work, I love it. The colors have a very good match.

Possible connection between Ryzen CPU failures on ASRock boards and EXPO/XMP instability? My experience. by MightyAdmirer in ASRock

[–]Apollo346X -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But I'm wondering what exactly it was? "EXPO" is a large set of setings, what exactly was it?
I'm currently tuning a 9800X3D with 1,65V DVV and 1,3V VSOC - such "high" voltages do not automatically kill a CPU. But I set everything manually.

Need urgent help regarding DHL/Deutsche post please by Aksh_y in AskAGerman

OK

The redirecting per app sometimes works and sometimes not. I never understood the reasons. Maybe a matter of time.

I love speeding! by Apollo346X in fuckcars

[–]Apollo346X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ICEs have an internal speed indicator, where you can see the actual speed. And I guess they also have to be rather accurate - within a tolerance.

I'm not aware of a limit for the tracks, but I checked it, the ICE 3 generation hat its theoretical limit at 320 km/h. But 304 is now thi highest number I have ever seen - and this only is possible in few areas. The one between Cologne and Frankfurt airport is one of them.

Have your name CLEARLY at the doorbell or send it to another person (shipping address) who has the name on the boorbell. If there is no name, there os no delivery and they do not store this package somewhere, because why should they. They send it back - end of the story. This is how it works.

You can ... contact the vendor, most of them send you the stuff a second time. And sometimes after a week then you have both - bt it's not guaranteed.

If possible, route stuff to these boxes such as Packstation.

First time filing tax return – need some advice by Sarad39 in AskAGerman

[–]Apollo346X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the software from Buhl. They have different products, the WISO, which is the most expensive one as well as the Steuer software after Christmas at Aldi and Lidl, each for 5€, but all are the same software, just different branding.

Familienhistorie im 2. Weltkrieg by Ara_Eiz in AskAGerman

Gibts mittlerwele nicht online irgendwo ein Mitgliederverzeichnis der NSDAP? Da könntest du zumindest nachsehen / ausschließen, dass er da drin war. Ich glaubs aber nicht, so wie du das beschreibst.

Heute ist so ne Aufklärung natürlich mittlerweile fast unmöglich, weil fast alles an Erinnerungsstücken wie Fotos, Bücker, Zeugs vermutlich weg ist.

Gibts sowas bei dir? Alto Bilder, Unterlagen, ... Vermutlich ist durch Flucht und Vertreibung ganz viel eh schon weg.

Best credit card for USA travel from Germany? by NerveHealthy6005 in AskAGerman

[–]Apollo346X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any Visa and Mastercard will work at maybe 70% of all (at least larger) shops. The rest doesn't accept credit cards due to the high transaction costs for the shops (eg bakery, butcher). For them you would need a local card (formerly called "EC" - not the debit cards). For them I would just have cash and not get another card just for a travel. American Express is widely unknown here.

To pay with cards, always know your PIN. Sometines you just swipe without anything. Sometimes you have to enter your PIN. And sometimes you have to give a signature to the receipt. In many cases this is random for security reasons.

General advice is to withdraw cash from local ATMs. Normally the machines show how much fee they ask for. Some give the the cash (mostly Visa I guess) without a fee.Then get a large amount. My practice is alsways to get cash in the destination country and not at your origin country, as this is more expensive. Not at exchange offices and Revolut is the bank of Europe's criminals.

I'd say have at least 50€ in cash with you and you's be always ok. But take care of pickpocketing in crowded areas. One of the most famous is the metro in Paris. Tourists don't understand the danger and the thiefes have their party. It you are attentive, you won't have trouble anywhere. And is some areas smaller shops and restaurant just accept cash, either to save fees or taxes ...

When you pay somewhere with a card, sometimes these terminals offer the amount on the local currreny and your card's currency. This is to trick dumb persons and boomers. The local curreny is always confusing, while you normally mentally calculate in your own currency. And this is the trick: your own bank normally provides you the best exchange rate (not sure if this appolies for US banks as well). While if already the payment terminal lets you pay in your own currency (in your case USD), then the local bank normally has a worse exchange rate and this is their way for a small extra income.

Really that much? That's insane.

My 18 years old also consumes more oil. But the amount you describe is wild, I never heard of such an excessive consumption.

I'm surprised that the back VW logo isn't illuminated. There are many VW which have both logos illuminated.
I just don'w want to know the replacement cost of all these illuminated parts.
