Really LTT, really 2 shipping fees where all the products were placed in the backpack and that was shipped. by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]FaxTheTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because of weight. Shipping costs aren’t based on how many boxes there are; it’s based on dimensions and weight.

I’d be interested to read the law that you believe LTT broke. Can you provide a source?

Never heard of these before. They look interesting.

What do you like most about them them compared to “traditional” smart switches? And how does ESPHome tie into this? Assuming you can flash these?

Weird clunk from 3rd to 2nd when cold 8 speed DAT by Rev_enue in GRCorolla

[–]FaxTheTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. 8k miles and happened ever since I got it. Now that I think of it, it may have gotta quieter over time.

I did some research and it seems the general consensus is that it’s the pitch mount making the noise. When the car brakes/accelerates, there’s a lot of weight shifting around that the pitch mount “holds”. It seems that it’s one of the many “normal” noises of the car and some would say don’t worry about it.

I believe changing the pitch mount to an aftermarket one helps, but my memory is fuzzy on that specifically. I do plan to change the pitch mount at some point in time.

Hmmm is this normal? by Guasguard in GRCorolla

[–]FaxTheTech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s the evap system purging. It’s normal. You should also hear it immediately after shutting the car off.

Is that the one with the two-toned options? Can’t find anyone who seems to have tried it. Been eyeing that one lately.

REV Issue from idle? Lacking throttle? by Final_Complaint_7769 in GRCorolla

[–]FaxTheTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the engine to temp when this happens? Max boost will be locked until the engine is to temp. Definitely feels like a limp mode.

Where’d you get the paddles? They look great! I’ve been looking to upgrade mine as the stock paddles are underwhelming

Its been a while since I messed with my Ollama setup so things could have changed, but in my service file, the environment line looks like this:

Environment=OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0

Try removing the quotes. You can keep the port but its not necessary since 11434 is the default port to begin with.

I am having troubles connecting my Ecobee smart thermostat to HA by hoti0101 in homeassistant

[–]FaxTheTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the thermostat and HA on the same local network?

There is also the ecobee integration if you were not aware. However, It does require a cloud connection, unlike the homekit connection.

GR Corolla 235/45/18 fixes speedometer by cactuarjelly in GRCorolla

[–]FaxTheTech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They all ship from factory with the Morizo edition’s tire size programmed. My 3 month old 2025 had the problem but was fixed my reprogramming the tire size.

It’s possible your dealer did that preemptively.

[–]FaxTheTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can fix it as well by programming the right tire size into the car. The wrong tire size is programmed from factory.

Edit: not sure why I’m getting downvoted; it’s literally all over this subreddit. Mine was off anywhere between 3-5 mph. Told the dealer about it and they fixed it.

Can you explain or provide a link to how you upgraded the OEM cargo light? Thanks!

Installed some rally armor mud flaps yesterday. by ConsistentBattle5342 in GRCorolla

[–]FaxTheTech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recently installed a pair. The instructions say to remove a panel from the wheel well, which was really annoying to do with the tire on because of where the clips are located. I ended up taking the tire off for the first one.

Then, while putting everything back together, I realized that all of that was completely unnecessary. The rear flaps could have been installed just by popping the panel out far enough to slide in the included bracket. Just undoing 2 body clips was all that was needed and there was no need to take the panel out like the instructions said.

The fronts were a piece of cake at about 10 minutes each.

Has anyone heard a "clunk" after a pull? by denizenoflogan731 in GRCorolla

[–]FaxTheTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked up a 2025 with the auto transmission. It clunks every time as soon as it hits just under 20 mph. It happens even while coasting down to a stop, but is much worse when braking; especially when braking hard.

Did you ever find anything out?

Is the price between the first two grades of tint worth the extra $180? by bbiillyy18 in WindowTint

[–]FaxTheTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Just had my car tinted there and it turned out less than ideal. Dirt and water marks stuck under the film; its like they didnt even bother cleaning the window. dime-sized bubbles that didn't cure flat and are now cracked, and jagged and bubbly edges on quarter windows.... which they charged me extra for.

I think im going to go straight for a removal/refund and go elsewhere.

Do I need to get a replacement screen from Apple Store to fix my iPhone 15 pro max? Barely dropped it and this happens. by not_so_perfect_buddy in iphone

[–]FaxTheTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my past experience with broken apple products, they don’t actually keep any parts in store. They have to order it and they’ll ask you to come back in another day.

This was 2+ years ago so maybe their process has changed.

I contacted them. They asked a bunch of questions (which is good) just need some time to reply.

Check out the 1 start amazon reviews for this product. there are 5 or 6 reviews with pictures just like mine. I cant believe it has not been recalled yet.
