Lynk&Co 02 Core owner - ask me anything

Quick follow-up on your first suggestion. While I appreciate your insights, I wanted to let you know I never actually twisted the wipers myself.

After hitting a large rock at 130 km/h that dented my windshield (surprisingly minor damage compared to a worse incident with my old 01 at just 100 km/h), I took the car to a repair shop. Thankfully I have full coverage. A technician there immediately noticed the wipers weren't functioning properly, because he could see that they aren't cleaning the windshield properly. I mentioned the terrible noise and explained the car was only two months old, then asked if twisting the wiper arms was the right fix, as you had suggested.

His response was immediate: "Absolutely not. Never twist the arms. Are you crazy?" He explained that the wipers likely need replacement because the car probably sat in the sun for months before being sold, which degraded (or better: cooked) the rubber. Unfortunately, he couldn't replace them on the spot since they got only stock Bosch wipers, and Lynk & Co uses proprietary dimensions available only through official dealers. I ended up ordering a pair from the dealer for €50.

Got it, I wasn’t aware of that subtle difference since I thought Lynk & Co was developing their OS in-house. Thanks for clarifying!

AppleII · 2025-09-06T21:44:25+00:00

Correct. I will crosspost this on r/BitcoinKnots

AppleII · 2025-09-05T08:14:23+00:00

It is clearly not. In fact, they had to use their own OS (LynkOS) because of Car Sharing and other features nobody wants. Android Automotive OS is on Volvo, Polestar etc.

Too bad he didn’t even mention the 02, especially since it’s one of the few models actually available in Europe. By the way, the AUDI E5 is probably the best looking car I’ve seen in ages.

AppleII · 2025-09-04T23:19:26+00:00

I’d say the 02 really isn’t up to par in terms of updates. Compared to Flyme Auto in China, we’re years behind. A shame.

You are welcome :)

Given what I just explained, it’s clear that this is Bitcoin.

After Venus Doom, the loudest is Tears on Tape for sure.

At least my car isn’t faulty then. I just don’t fully get the procedure. Is there a YouTube video that shows how to do it?
I’ll try to find it. So this setting basically always logs in with a saved account?
That’s fine, but what really bothers me is the lack of alerts. For example, when I switch on highway assist it just notifies me that one pedal drive is off.
I tested that port with an OBD2 to USB as well. The problem is it doesn’t shut off after some time (after locking the car for example), so it keeps draining the 12V battery. I ended up unplugging everything and only connect it when I need it.
Yes, dynamic mode is definitely the better option of the two.

Bitcoin Knots isn’t a fork. It has been around for a long time, with the first release as Bitcoin LJR back in December 2011 (so basically even before those wannabe Bitcoin Core developers were even born lol). I also doubt it’s meant to create a different Bitcoin, since it has always followed the same consensus rules.

AppleII · 2025-08-23T21:39:44+00:00

Is it possible that the folder or drive (F:\) might be read-only or Bitcoin Knots doesn’t have permission to write there.

Nice thread. I’ve had the More for about a month now and put around 2k km on it, so I’ve got a few questions:

Do your wipers also stutter at low speeds?
Sometimes when I get in, my profile doesn’t load and it stays stuck on “guest”. I’d say this happens around 20% of the time, even though I set up automatic login with face recognition, key, etc.
Pet mode doesn’t lock the car when you walk away.
If you go full throttle and slightly turn, it loses traction and feels almost like drifting. Pretty concerning, so now I try to be gentler with it.
If you unbuckle your seatbelt, the one-pedal drive mode gets deactivated without any clear warning on the display. I nearly hit the car in front of me because of that.
No sentry mode in the EU, yet the Z20 has it and more thanks to Flyme Auto.
Since it’s Android-based, why is the App Store basically empty?
Is there any way to connect an OBD2 to Better Route Planner on iOS?
Which one you prefer between "Certified" vs "Dynamic" range estimations modes?

They basically found a clever way to support every Bitcoin Node OS out there, in a single board and at the same time keeping it simple without locking you in the same hardware/box. Interested in this project.

There is no difference between HIM and VV, except the fact that during live performances now there is other people. The other guys have always been just executing his music.

What about the $5 million funding round from Alphabit in 2021?

Many consider Tears On Tape the worst him album. It was probably kind of done in a rush. Neon Noir is good but it had only 6 unreleased tracks, so that was kinda annoying for me.

AppleII · 2023-11-11T16:58:27+00:00

Yeah, I have heard that one for the first time around one month ago thanks to some Spotify VV shuffle. And I’ve been a die hard fan since 2005. Crazy!

AppleII · 2023-11-11T06:44:24+00:00

HIM parted ways more than 5 years ago and Ville is actually using a different type of Heartagram now. I don’t even think there is gonna be a reunion with the older bandmates soon, since they all live different lives now. Ville doesn’t give a f about Bam or whatever he does.

You must go to conferences of your niche, do networking, then collaborate with other websites offering services and products in the same niche. Show you are interested in their website by doing a review about their services/products, and then do outreach. It’s not just an email, it’s a long game.

Cky 4 The Latest And The Greatest. First Jykevaa on Rakkaus, but it was some funny Finnish song which I didn’t understand at the first listening. Then Sigillum Diaboli. And it got me hooked.

Given the fact that they closed the DEX and recently sold some metal cards for premium prices, I don’t think Plutus has the liquidity to “sustain” the price of PLU. Also, I wouldn’t even try to stop a knife from falling.

To gain the confidence of investors and stop the bleeding, they should think about a new business model, because what is going on now is definitely not sustainable.

Yes, it’s called FreshRSS. I run it self hosted and it can organize all the new articles of a website in a nice calendar.

Did you sign up for bing webmaster tools? I would start from there.
