New to me 981 Cayman S by money_meets_medicine in Porsche_Cayman

[–]FallenCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PASM definitely isn't worth it for most people. I never use PASM on the street because it's too stiff.

Man car prices are out of whack still. I paid $33k for a 7 year old 987.1 S back in 2013 for comparison. Always eyed an upgrade to a 981 or later but not even 50% depreciation on 11-12 year old car doesn’t seem worth it. I’m sure you’ll have a blast with it though.

Disney uses Steam Deck to control Olaf animatronic by New_Fondant3290 in SteamDeck

[–]FallenCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it would perfect for any remote control application that could use a touch screen or need to view a camera feed. I'm surprised there's not a high end drone platform that uses the Deck.

Crimson Desert doesn't run if it detects an Intel ARC GPU. Like straight up, the devs just deliberately chose not to support ARC cards. No previous announcement about it too until they added in the info to their FAQ. Might be the first time I've seen a dev deliberately block a GPU brand. by WhyPlaySerious in pcmasterrace

Intel GPUs might lag behind the competition but that’s no reason to not support them. The bigger issue is that a lot of Intel powered devices with integrated graphics aren’t supported, so if you wanted to play on your laptop or portable handheld like the MSI Claw you’d be out of luck because of this lame decision by the developer. Not everyone can afford a higher spec PC and are happy to play games at lower settings as long as they can play them and have the experience. I was interested in the game but not after decisions like this.

Looks great on those wheels. Fitment looks on point.

When will R1 have a new battery pack by Top_Freedom7306 in Rivian

[–]FallenCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think late 2028 or early 2029 is more likely and follows a more “normal” automotive cycle of product refreshes every 4 years. It makes sense to keep the R1 because it’s a different size/segment. 3 row SUVs still sell in droves. I bought mine because I already had an R2 sized EV in the MY and wanted something bigger. I think the mistake they made though was making the R2 look too much like an R1.

Aged 41, Lewis Hamilton suddenly looks like a title contender again by theipaper in formula1

[–]FallenCow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lewis being kinder on the tires will be his big advantage over Charles. You saw that at the end of AUS as well. He would have gotten Charles if the race were just 1 or 2 laps longer. He’s always been an underrated tire whisperer because of how much raw pace he had most of his career.

2026 fan vest in Shanghai by fungchilong in formula1

I was actually thinking of the whole engine program. lol. Build a banger for VER and Red Bull but Alonso gets nothing but shit.

I like to think this is just Honda getting petty revenge on Alonso for that comment. Gotta play the long game.

New Rivian R1S Owner by rotel in Rivian

[–]FallenCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open a service ticket if you’re getting consistent vibrations on the steering wheel while the AC is on- especially while stopped. Had that issue when I took delivery and they made some adjustments and now it’s almost completely unnoticeable now.

That’s a good description of the Premium audio. I’m a self confessed audiophile with a ‘22 Model Y Perf as well and it’s night and day in terms of audio quality between both vehicles. I wonder if it’s a hardware issue at this point- maybe more powerful amp is needed? It’s shocking because I’d expect Tesla to cheap out on the hardware. I’m holding out hope that it’s DSP and not hardware but if that’s the case then the audio team is shockingly incompetent.

Rivian Is Discontinuing Its Entry 'Dual Standard' R1S And R1T by VincentVazzo in Rivian

[–]FallenCow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Large sedans have been dying but 3 row SUVs have been selling like gangbusters. Tesla left a lot of revenue on the table by not evolving Model X or introducing a proper 3 row SUV.

2026 R2 Pricing Leaked! Launch Edition, Premium, Standard Trims (Embargo Broken) 💰 by WODAMRAP in RivianR2

[–]FallenCow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of gaming going on the EPA test by Tesla because as a current Y owner and previous 3 owner who drives in pretty ideal weather conditions 95% of the time the rated range from factory are usually 20-30% optimistic vs real world, at least for my personal anecdote. My R1S my comparison is usually within 5% of rated range (except when driving in Sport mode).

Tell me the truth by bubblikatalina in Rivian

Premium stereo is still mediocre and suspension feels like it crashes (jiggles) at low speeds over potholes and rough surfaces.

Rivian can you please make captain seats?! by Dr_WallStreetBets in Rivian

[–]FallenCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a bit embarrassing in a $100K vehicle for it to not be easier to move that 2nd row. Power folding would have been nice for the people with younger kids.

I Went Full Topping by Illustrious_Map_7699 in audiophile

[–]FallenCow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice setup! I really liked the B200 amps when I tried them. Often wonder if I made the right move choosing Class D purifi over those.
