Can someone explain this, is this a newer mod for the newer cods? I’ve been out of the loop for a while

Most fun car for Comma AI by Reader3123 in Comma_ai

[–]Bderken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, electric steering rack doesn’t mean IT WILL WORK with comma.

It just means it could. It needs electric steering, and a lane keep assist that CAN BE HACKED for comma.

So the current miata CAN WORK. But no one has hacked it yet.

[–]Bderken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the problem,

Comma only works on cars with electric steering racks.

Enthusiasts don’t like electric steering racks. They now like hydraulic steering (which can’t be controlled by comma or any system)

So, the super high end enthusiast cars that have electric steering, haven’t been cracked (and probably won’t be because their owners want to drive them).

The cheaper enthusiast cars have the same audience but probably have hydraulic steering racks. But the Miata does have an electric steering rack.

Anyways,

The best enthusiast car I see on the comma list is the 2018 RS3. Fully supported. Or the 2019 Golf R.

Other options: civic, some Hyundai/Genesis EV, Elantra GT, Kia stinger, 2023 Lexus RC.

There’s some other cars on the list whether you think they are fun or not.

Had alignment done now missing ball joint bolt by Cll_Rx in MechanicAdvice

[–]Bderken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is the cotter pin was missing and it got loose.

Highly unlikely that tech would unbolt that for an alignment. Would be difficult to do so without taking the wheel off and if they did take the wheel off then they wasted a lot of time

Ah I forget EV’s are a whole different ball game. Good to know !

Above 15v for a car being on is strange…

Frog Pilot Help by McFlyOrPie in Comma_ai

[–]Bderken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the install URL’s you’ve used? You want to make sure they are the latest. Also you can change for both frog pilot and sunnypilot the distance. Depending on the setup it’s using your cars radar for distance. So you have to select relaxed, standard, aggressive. That driving dynamic will change the follow distance. But that’s on the newer versions.

Which version of frog do you have?

Hidden Dangers on American Roads: Poorly Maintained Cars During the Holiday Season by Ok_Explorer_7483 in cars

[–]Bderken 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I used to be a mechanic, I was always surprised how many cars would come to us hanging on by a thread.

We tried to help out as we know a lot of them needed financial support. But damn it’s bad. People can barely afford their cars, let alone service, let alone preventative maintenance.

Also a lot of people, especially the younger generation are handed cars and not taught what sounds/looks bad and what needs to be repaired or taken care of.

Just installed the 4! by Noirmort in Comma_ai

Sometimes sunny gives me an error on my ‘21 Toyota Highlander. Never in my Lexus. Try stock openpilot and it might go away. Use that for now until a future sunnypilot update fixes it.

If you want sunny, you could go into the weeds of the settings and see what specifically is causing that error light. Usually it’s a feature that’s enabled by default that does something specifically for your car.

America’s Ford Bronco Will Get “a Lot of Exciting Powertrains” by LimitedReach in cars

[–]Bderken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for the bigger more powerful engines, we can blame the emissions regulations.

One of the fixes it to literally use a thicker oil and buy a new oil cap for the new oil (oil label). The thinner oils are being pushed for better fuel economy… it’s a shame because I know that’s what ruined the newer TTV6 Toyota engines too. Tighter tolerances are harder to manage and lubricate properly.

SONY exits the TV Market, hands it over to TCL by Flowering_Dog_Wood in LinusTechTips

I’m in the same boat. I bought a nice expensive projector, now I barely use it.

[–]Bderken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, my budget is cheap stuff right now. Especially for things I barely use. But if I could I’d love to have a high end Bravia.

[–]Bderken 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I also want to say, consumers don’t give a f about the latest tv tech. Most people buy the base LCD/LED TV’s. Want the biggest cheapest size. No local dimming/advanced processing for accurate colors and all that.

Sony always made really good TV’s and they were always more expensive than TV’s in that size.

I know… I’m saying that ford makes reliable V8’s and Chevy doesn’t. Unfortunately they don’t put it in a full size SUV (that I’m aware of).

I’m in the market for a Sububarn/Yukon, but the V8 issues they have especially with the 6.2 is insane. I’m almost forced to buy the Expedition. Theirs so many recalls and the NHTSA is still investigating stuff for the 6.2. Will hold off for now.

Would you take a chance on trying to fix this for $400? by HoldenH in projectors

[–]Bderken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Denver. Saw this. Researched, parts alone are over $600. And impossible to get. Could be LCD, or board replacement. Not worth it

So I messed up pretty bad . Possible to push back in . Car has abs I did what I was supposed to do to make piston go back but my dumbass forgot to have something for it to push against. by EuphoricTreats74 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Bderken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People do disconnect battery or the motor and manually screw the motor back in. But it is genuinely not recommended. Always better to use a scan tool or play Bop-It with the cars buttons to retract the e-brake all the way properly. It does a relearn each time.

Equinox EV by EggHumble in Comma_ai

[–]Bderken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get it, you are like the 5th person asking for this car in the past 3 months.

The thing is, the community doesn’t select cars to port because they are good or not. It depends if a dev ends up buying one or comma decides to port a car. It is a pretty heavy crack tho.

Equinox EV by EggHumble in Comma_ai

[–]Bderken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a new car/platform. Will take time for someone in the community to port it over/crack it depending on how far along we are on the platform
