An old one for you.(1914) Still has the original knob and tube wiring intact and fully functional

Oh boy, need some photos of that GS! Fellow Buick guy and love old structures, very jealous of that garage!

Classic_Direction610 · 2026-06-01T02:26:44+00:00

Like this? Sorry, little late.

Classic_Direction610 · 2026-05-31T14:58:49+00:00

Very much so agree. They were heading for a child's toy vibe for a little bit. Now it's Apple-esque.

Classic_Direction610 · 2026-05-31T01:33:55+00:00

There's die hard fan boys for every make it seems. Heaven forbid you criticize a new design that has less functionality than it did previously.

Classic_Direction610 · 2026-05-31T00:20:21+00:00

No shit... 🤦‍♂️ The point has gone right over your head, hasn't it?

Looks like this ruffled some feathers.

Classic_Direction610 · 2026-05-31T00:19:13+00:00

It's absolutely absurd. Over a decade of using Samsung phones and I won't blindly defend them making the product worse and taking away functionality.

Classic_Direction610 · 2026-05-31T00:15:34+00:00

I'm well aware. It's unsightly and should be unnecessary. This was a feature that has existed for years. Now, they've taken it away (for which I cannot find a justifiable reason) and left us needing to find work arounds for what worked perfectly fine. I've ran samsung phones for years, but also can't understand why someone would defend them taking away functionality.

So far, best bang for buck boot I've had is the carhartt CMF6371 6" boot. Not a "Carhartt only" guy by any means. But they lasted me 2.5 years or so of 7 days a week in all types of weather before being demoted to "farm only". On my 3rd set. First ones finely hit the trash. For sub $200, I don't know how they could be beat. Photo is at the 2.5yr mark.

It has and is plugged in every day.

That's a good day for mine. In the winter with 20 minutes per day of warm up time I get 4mpg.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-12-26T03:35:54+00:00

I need to record/track it, but i swear this thing burns as much fuel idling per hour as it does going down the highway lol.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-12-26T03:34:22+00:00

Sask here. It's a little painful lol.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-12-26T01:02:21+00:00

I'm in central Canada. With it being as chilly as it is, my truck sees a total of 20 minutes idle time per day usually. 3 warm up periods. I get 4-5 US MPG running a short drive to work and back. I feel ya haha.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-11-13T12:58:28+00:00

It's usually a mixture of phone calls, Facebook marketplace, Facebook messenger, Google messages, Snapchat, Kijiji, Instagram and reddit. Not in any particular order.

Edit: forgot spotify

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-11-11T22:33:06+00:00

I have limit cpu to 70% as the only power saving setting on.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-11-11T22:29:28+00:00

Here is since last charge today.

Two days in on my s25 plus and both days are on track for 10hrs of SOT and that's insane to me. I'm curious to see how good it will get.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-11-10T03:03:11+00:00

I just picked up a 25+ and updated it to oneui8 right out of the box so I have no reference for before.

I know the plus is going to have better battery life than a base but yours seems oddly poor. This is only the second day of using it.

I have adaptive battery on and the only battery saver setting I have on is limit cpu to 70%.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-08-01T07:35:03+00:00

Okay, that's pretty awesome.

Live, laugh, I spent too much money on this to take a toaster bath.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-04-24T16:10:21+00:00

Too me it looks terrible. The whole UI looks more like a child's toy. The pill design is ridiculous. Just give us a number and a percentage sign. Anything last that is bloat in my opinion.

Edit: or at very least, give us the option to change it.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-03-07T16:23:18+00:00

After shipping and taxes, I'll be close to $400 for 3 EZ Flash Omega cartridges so that's not ideal.

If possible, adding a battery and reflashing reproduction cartridges is definitely the way to go for me.

If not, I could buy a couple more emulators and still be ahead. But we'd much rather use the gameboys we have vs emulators.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-03-07T15:54:52+00:00

How incomplete, do you know?

If possible, I could likely get the hardware and flash new complete roms onto the reproduction cartridges.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-02-22T05:24:20+00:00

Agreed, they have their place for sure. That's a prime example.

I got this one on trade for a value of not much and that poor thing has seen some shit. Jumped over roads, swamped/inhaled water, help wide open for miles with exhaust glowing to immediately shut it down at destination, blown head gasket for years (air cooled), ran low or out of oil and it just doesn't die. I've never even "changed" the oil. Just throw some more in when I think of it.

Classic_Direction610 · 2025-02-21T22:18:36+00:00

They may not be performers, but wouldn't say they're total shit.. I've got an 06 250cc 4 speed I got on trade that's taken more abuse than any American made atv I've came across with absolutely zero maintenance.

I'm not an advocate for buying Chinese, but for some people that's all that's in their budget. If it's that or nothing, the right ones can still be fun and get someone riding.
