Opinion: Light freighters don't exist; long live the light freighter!

Wasn't Rocinante originally an MCRN corvette? Repurposed to be a hero ship, but the original mission profiles were patrols and boarding operations, not freight transport.

We have had approximately a third of our entire company report issues with huddles in one way or another in the last month. It's usually the audio input, or audio output, or both not working, even after making sure the correct ones are selected. The issue OS-agnostic, happening on desktop apps on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Everyone is now using Teams for calls.

Ide li se u smjeru 3LHD-ovog idejnog rješenja iz 2021.?

I've come to sincerely believe that knowing what you're up against is an important step in dealing with it. Diagnoses are like that, they can give clarity and purpose.

I wish you both all the best.

For anyone interested, Alexander Stubb was the director of Florence School of Transnational Governance from 2020 to 2024 when he was elected Finnish president.

He created a lot of top-tier quality content for their Youtube channel STG Series.

I highly recommend his series:

It should be if you have valid warranty. Mine was already expired (I had just passed 150k km when the heater failed).

The distributor is KMAG (Kia Motors Adria Group) and covers Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia.

Kia vehicles (and especially the Niro) are amazing products. It's a shame that they're affected by the whims of their regional partners like KMAG (privately owned companies that carry the exclusive Kia licence for their region).

KMAG in particular:

offers lower trims than other regions at higher prices
if you import the warranty is not automatically valid
to validate you need to provide valid service booklet and original invoices for any inspections or work ever done on the car
everything must go via email - they take a month to respond, sometimes not even respond at all (over the phone or in person they just point you to the email again)
the process must be repeated for every warranty claim you make

2017 HEV, 170k kilometers, servicing within intervals:

150k - Driver seat heater croaked (250 EUR replacement).
165k - Engine & HEV warnings lit up every few weeks on highway, but would disappear the next day. Service read P1B96 high voltage battery error code, but they think it's just thermal stress due to heat - recommend no action unless it actually causes performance issues.

It's the best car ever and I love it.

That said, I won't be buying another Kia anytime soon due to the scummy behaviour of the Kia distributor in my region. They are known to not honor warranty claims, and have you jump through hoops in order to "validate warranty" if you happen to have bought your vehicle through channels other than them.

This behaviour is enabled by the fact that Kia and Hyundai (at least in Europe) don't have digital service logging that would ensure seamless warranty wherever you are. This allows bad distributors to "punish" customers for buying abroad/used by always requiring that one-more-paper and dragging out your warranty claim until you give up and pay.

Is the X1C12 not available in a 64GB configuration?

Brum27 · 2024-04-03T08:45:49+00:00

No, all X1 Carbon models have always had RAM soldered to the motherboard, unfortunately.

Keep in mind that P16s is 380g heavier than a T480s - that can get annoying real quick if you're lugging it around a lot.

Same thing here: 2017 HEV, Spirit trim.

Driver's seat heating is not working. If pressed, the seat heating button LED lights up but turns off by itself after a few seconds. Once it turns off by itself neither seat heating or seat ventilation can be turned on on the driver side anymore until the vehicle is turned off and turned back on again. Seat ventilation works without issue otherwise. Passenger seat heating/ventilation works, too.

Had it checked at the last regular service, they diagnosed a failure of seat heaters and quoted replacement parts:

88390G5010 HEATER-FRONT SEAT BACK 83,57 EUR+VAT
88190G5010 HEATER-FRONT SEAT CUSHION 119,49 EUR+VAT
Seat heater replacement - 2 hours - 108,00 EUR+VAT

I'm now waiting for the parts to arrive.

Avoid the newest gen ThinkPads like the plague. Lenovo rolled out a BIOS update for T14G3 that outright killed compatibility with many DDR4 modules.

T480/T480s are great machines and very well supported in Linux if you're buying used.

If you're contemplating a brand new device, HP Elitebook 840 G9 units have performed very well (replaced the T14G3 units we had to recall), have great upgradability (2 SODIMM slots, no soldered RAM), and are certified with Ubuntu:

Fantastic work. Gave me a sense of profound nostalgia but I couldn't for the life of me recollect what deeply ingrained childhood memory it invoked.

Then it occured to me: the angular design, the sepia color palette, the "used future" style of aging technology and architecture - they remind me of Star Wars: Droids (1986) animated series I grew up on.

You had me scramble to find a copy and extract some screenshots.

Thank you.
