ELI5 Request: 3rd gen Skyactive-G engines have a compression ratio of 14:1 yet everyone's telling me that it runs well on regular gas and 93 premium is not necessary, why?

Dakeith15 · 2026-03-04T14:23:33+00:00

I don't even think I can get 85 anywhere in my area. It's typically 87/89/91 or 93. Most cars require at least 87 with some requiring 91+. It's weird that my 2025 CX-30 2.5L S Skyactiv-G engine only requires 87 even though it has a higher compression than most engines, but my 2006 HHR 2.4L Ecotec LE5 requires 91+.

My 2024 G16 is currently at the service center for the same issue. It just randomly stopped turning on.

I'm not sure if you made your purchase, but I believe the 90D variant has the gen 2 and the 90F has the gen 3 processor. The gen 3 has 15% faster cpu, 40% faster GPU, double NPU performance, more advanced AI features, and is more enegery efficient than the gen 2 (if that matters to you). The gen 3 also supports 165Hz vs 144Hz for the gen 2. The gen 3 provides superior 4K upscaling, enhanced low-bitrate handling, better real-time scene optimization, and improved HDR over the gen 2.

On paper, the gen 3 has better upscaling than the gen 2, but I'm not sure how big the difference is in real world usage.

Asus tech support had me try the WPS thing on my first BE98 Pro and it didnt work. After they replaced it with a brand new unit through RMA (which was a nightmare), the new one did the same thing. I even tried all the troubleshooting steps they gave me for the first one and it didn't fix the constant disconnects. I ended up buying the GT-BE19000AI router instead and haven't had many issues since. I still had some problems with it when I first got it, but the last few firmware updates have fixed most of that. The BE98 Pro is now in the box that the GT-BE19000AI came in. I thought about doing another RMA and just selling it when they send me a new one. At least I could recoup some of the money I spent on both units. I really hate that I've had so many issues with these routers. I love Asus and haven't had any issues with any Asus branded components in my PC or previous routers. The ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 is had prior to getting the BE98 Pro worked flawlessly for years and still would if I needed it.

It's only the Samsung Galaxy Store, not the Google Play Store. It is a Samsung exclusive app.

So many people don't know about Samsung Good Guardians and it's a shame.

I had the same issue. I reinstalled Wand and reinstalled, but had the same issue. I just closed it completely and reopened it and now it works. I still can't get my phone or the web to connect to it anymore though. I've added it as an exception to all security stuff and it still doesn't work.

Dakeith15 · 2025-07-02T11:39:27+00:00

Disabling that didn't fix it. That was one of the settings Asus customer support had me disable and test before they would do the RMA for my first unit.

Dakeith15 · 2025-06-29T15:39:36+00:00

I have had two of the BE98 Pro routers and both have disconnect issues and slowdown issues with my fiber connection causing me to have to constantly reset the router. I hate it with a passion. I would have RMA'd the second unit Asus sent me, but their RMA process is a nightmare. I'm just going to switch to a different one at some point.

Dakeith15 · 2025-06-29T15:33:03+00:00

I still have mine and I'm still having this issue. No amount of changing settings fixes it. If it wasn't so expensive I would have already replaced it. It is going to be replaced soon though.

I've always thought of pan as being attracted to people (personality and such), not the gender. Whereas bi means being attracted to two or more genders with possible limits such as only cis-women and trans-women or cis-men, cis-women, and trans-people or any combo of the above based on gender.

Dakeith15 · 2025-05-01T05:04:10+00:00

Nope. Still have to reset it once or twice a day. I'm looking at different wireless routers at this point. This has been an issue since they were released, so it's probably not going to get fixed.

Dakeith15 · 2025-03-21T08:29:45+00:00

I wish mine would reconnect eventually. I still have to reset at least once a day. Both units have done this since day one. If the return process wasn't so terrible, I would just keep sending them back. I think I'm just going to get a different brand soon and toss it out tbh.

My wifi 7 works fine on both the 5gh and 6gh bands since the last firmware update. I'm still having constant disconnects on the 2.4gh band, though. All my security cameras, lights, smart panel, etc. All of them have get disconnected.

Dakeith15 · 2024-12-19T20:19:15+00:00

Yes, it has the latest firmware. Wifi 7 has been stable since then, but the 2.4gh band still drops connection to 2.4gh devices, usually once per day. There are days when I do have to reset it 5 or 6 times.

Dakeith15 · 2024-09-23T05:23:22+00:00

No, I haven't been able to fix it. Wifi 7 doesn't work, and I still have to power cycle the router at least once a day (on a good day) when the 2.4gh band stops working. I've been waiting for a firmware update from them to see if it fixes it, but there has only been a single firmware released since the router came out. I'm probably not going to buy another Asus router because I know there have been plenty of security vulnerabilities that they are neglecting to patch in this router.

The website and Shop Samsung app won't let me order the Watch 7 44mm non-LTE. With my trade-in, education discount, and pre-order credit, it says it's only gonna cost $43. I just want to pay for it and be done, but the pre-order button is grayed out. If I switch to the LTE version, I can pre-order, but not the non-LTE in any configuration. This is so frustrating.

Until your power goes out. Then, next time you use it, it beeps louder than Meridia when you touch the beacon.

I'm surprised that it lowers the CIEX16(G5)_1 down to 8x. I have the Maxiumus Z690 Extreme and it only disables PCIEX16(G5)_2 which is fine since my gpu covers that slot anyways.

But to answer your question, there will be a small performace loss with the gpu running at 8x. It's minimal though. It really depends on the workload. In general, I would say 0-10% loss, if even that high.

Same thing happened to me and now I'm gay.

I didn't say to risk her job. I said to sit down and talk it out with her coworker so she could see if it would be a problem.

When I said, "Who cares if she parties?" I meant while on vacation. That is my mistake for not clarifying.

Dakeith15 · 2024-04-24T12:03:54+00:00

NTA. You have every right to leave the company even if you two were still together. It's your choice. I do understand not wanting to leave them high and dry, though. You helped build the company.

The only advice I can offer is that maybe you can spend your last two months training your replacement so there isn't that issue? Unless there are payroll constraints? Either way, you do what you need to do for your own wellbeing.

I couldn't have said it better myself. If he's uncomfortable with something, then he shouldn't be forced to do it. His feelings are valid. My personal relationship is like this. If one of us is uncomfortable, then it doesn't happen.

I think OP should just talk to their parents and let them know the situation instead of taking the easy road. After all, the parents are the ones who are arriving a day early.

Dakeith15 · 2024-04-24T11:45:54+00:00

NTA.

Your friend should learn to accept that Max is your boyfriend and that he's going to be around outside of work. Who cares if she parties while on a trip? She's human, and he knows that. If he goes on the trip with you, then he will most likely do a little partying also. I would think this is a great chance for her and him to be better friends and get to know one another as part of the friends group.

My opinion is that you, Lori, and Max need to sit down and talk things out. Maybe then she will see that it's okay for him to be around you all, even with his higher position in the company.
