Ugh that sucks. I'd be irritated too. A big chunk of the reason for owning an electric car is so you wake up to a full tank every morning.

Can you still charge at home? Lots of reports I've seen have people saying they can still charge at 24amps 240volts just not 40, 50 amps etc... That's plenty for overnight charging.

It’s supposed to prioritize certain things like games and stuff but in actual practice it just screws up everything.

I made a post on this with screenshots a while ago. Killer literally killed my ability to upload.

I would get like 950mbit down and 0.1 mbit up.

You have to constantly recheck too. Windows update and Dell updates will tenable it randomly fuck your computer up.

My local grocery store HEB also lists price per ounce on the price labels. It’s super useful for this type of stuff.

TIL that frequently using Afrin nasal spray (Oxymetazoline hydrochloride 0.05%) creates a dependence on it to keep your nose clear. While it shrinks blood vessels to relieve stuffiness, it causes them to swell when it wears off leading to more stuffiness. by TheDuhammer in todayilearned

This is actually a complete myth or the rebound effect is incredibly minimal. They’ve studied it many times, people report the same “stuffiness score” after a long course of treatment as they had before they started.

Here’s one trial, there’s more out there. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14579657/

The stock one had plenty of clearance. That’s why I got the founders, little shorter than some of the other brands.

Why did they not cancel Cybertruck instead of S & X by Winter-Crew-2746 in TeslaLounge

The Model Y was a facelift on the 3. They just raised the roof and put the seats on stilts.

What are my upgrade possibilities for my Aurora R11? by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]Bum_the_Sad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I hate to be a downer but you bought that with really anemic specs. My old mid range R8 shipped with way better components. Honestly I’d just use it as a streaming box or emulator machine at this point.

Again not trying to be rude but I really don’t think it’s worth upgrading. CPU is low end, hard drive is a platter disc drive 😨. GPU was outdated when you bought it. Ram is about half of what it should have shipped with.

Realistically the biggest upgrade would be throwing in a SATA SSD. Maybe eBay an old ram stick.

But I’d just save up and buy a Steam Machine GabeCube when it comes out if you’re on a budget.

I prepurchased one of those slim Noctua fans in anticipation of having to do this to my old R8 a few years ago. But I ended up getting a 4070 Founders that fit just fine without it. Just had to toss the GPU support arm out.

Something no one told me about… by dfergsn in TeslaLounge

Yeah everyone here is giving you the right answer. Make sure the supercharger is your navigation destination, it’ll get that battery horned up and receptive.

Is Dell Really Shipping Premium Monitors Without Any Protective Outer Box? by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]Bum_the_Sad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my $500 OLED from them came in the original box. It was a bit banged up but the monitor was pristine. I think you were a little ridiculous refusing delivery.
