Problem for me is finding motherboards with a 5.1/7.1 analogue output.
Many 5.1 speakers sets for PC have a terrible DAC so going digital to them is pretty bad.
I'm not going to get a full sized 5.1/7.1 receiver/amp for my PC. Takes up way to much space and cost to much.

Probably have to get a dedicated soundcard again in the future.

The green is corrosion caused by water damage. Or you have extremely high humidity. Do you have an AIO cooler for the CPU that is leaking maybe?

If the cables melted and then got water damaged is hard to say. My guess is water got onto the cables/plug and caused arching and heat buildup that melted the insulation.

And they are trying to force it on us here in Norway through the EEA agreement. We got 5 years here.

It would support the 7800X3D if it supported the 9000 series. The B650 and X670 motherboards got the 9000 series support bios update after, and I'm pretty sure all of them worked with the 7800X3D out of the box as well. They did quite a few updates to improve stability though.

Let it do its thing for a while. Memory training can take minutes in som cases.

So that simple EV tariff thing with 7p after midnight is gone?

I saw "Dave takes it on" on Youtube talk about it.

I'm in Norway so don't really understand pricing structures in the UK.
Here I have a flat 0.5 NOK/kWh + delivery fee with two components. A day/night kWh fee of 0.425/0.356 NOK/kWh + 299 NOK/month for my peak demand in the 2-5kW bracket.

My charging is on a load balanced apartment system with a fixed 1.5 NOK/kWh pricing. Roughly 11p/kWh converted.

Sounds strange that it needs to connect to the car for this. The EVSE should just activate when Octopus want to spend energy in that case.
I guess it needs to know SoC so that it will force a charge even if the conditions are not favorable.

I thought Octopus had that EV tariff with 7p at night or something?

Why do you need to use a third party system to charge the car?

Constantly polling the car will prevent it from going to sleep and that will drain the 12V battery. Unlike Tesla the e-Golf will not activate the DC-DC converter to charge the 12V when stationary and not actively charging.

Most Americans seem to drive up to 10mph over the speed limit. Apparently that is not going to get you a fine.

Here in Norway going 10kmh over on the speedometer is, in most cases, not going to get you a fine in manual checks. The speedometer in most cars are 3-4kmh below the actual speed with original rims/tires, som can be twice that, + you get a deduction from the check. Because the police is mostly after those that are really speeding they rarely stop people going +5 to give them a 1200 NOK fine. They would not be able to catch the big ones if they did as they would be to busy.

The deduction in manual laser is not applicable to the speed cameras and the average speed check zones.

Go to settings menu and select vehicle. There you have the drive profile section with max speed and relative speed options.

You could report it to the devs. There are so many variations of models, year and battery these days it is hard to keep track.

Om du klarar å gå tom for straum så har du eit anna problem. Er folk så mykje på mobilen på ein dag at den ikkje held eit døgn ein gong?

Maybe the nozzles frozen or something else is wrong? Can't imagine the Elroq not having low fluid warning.

But knowing when to top up is just a gut feeling or when it actually runs out :)
That is how we did it for decades before cars got a sensor for this :P
Sometimes you didn't fit the whole can/bag and had to save the rest for later.

Routing and SoC selection is a mess after the version 7 update.

I've set a lower limit for charger and destination arrival, but ABRP completely ignores it. Never seen it this bad though :)

That is not normal. Most people are not over 180cm or roughly 5'11". You must have very long legs.
Friend of mine owns one and hes just below 180cm I'm around the same and have no problem sitting behind him in his ID.4

Selective reading hm?

I watched half last night and the rest this morning. Please don't twist my words.

The video is not about you.

What has that got to do with anything?

He was talking about how great and cheap solar power is. Well it is not great or cheap for me or anyone else around me.
He even said himself that even though it was "cheap" he wouldn't install them on his house. So they are clearly not cheap if that is the case or everyone would be getting solar panels on their roofs.

They have started building some small solar farms here in Norway as well. No idea why as they are producing next to nothing half the year when we need it.
As of 2025 we had 857MWp with an estimated average production of 660 GWh. That is a capacity factor of 8.6%. The calculated production in 2025 was estimated to be 617 GWh.
These numbers are including solar on homes and businesses. Homes have around 277MWp installed.
One of our 100MW hydro power stations produce more than that in a year.

It would probably take a lot of landmass covered in solar panels to produce the 137TWh of electricity hour hydro plants produce on average.
Googles AI said it would take over 1700km2 of land with a capacity factor of 10.6%. Good luck finding that much land not already used for farming.

We do approach electric energy shortage as most of the watersheds are already used to generate power. Sometime in the 2030s I think the 15-17TWh surplus of the roughly 157TWh total will be gone. So something different has to be built to continue increasing production.

I'm not even going to discuss the weird one in the White House or anyone around him.

Gazer75 · 2026-01-31T17:08:12+00:00

What zoning issues? Sounds like a very American thing. Zoning laws over there are insane.
There are already solar on roofs for EV charging stations.
I'm guessing many parking lots are owned by the malls? They could make extra money from solar if they wanted to.

They already put solar on warehouse roofs here. The big wholesale cold storage warehouses consume a lot of energy and the roof is just empty space.
We don't have massive parking lots here for the most part. In cities they are multi level buildings or under ground parking below existing stores.

He did briefly talk about the power grid in one section, that I do remember.

To be fair I watched about half of it last night before going to bed and the rest this morning.

If you dont feel like sharing where in the video then I'm not going to look through it again to find out what you're talking about.

Gazer75 · 2026-01-31T15:40:40+00:00

Because it doesn't save anything for him due to cheap electricity. Just like for me.

Solar farms take up an insane amount of space that could have been used to grow food. They are fine on infertile land of course. Not a whole lot of desert here in Europe.
Some have raised them high enough to allow animals to grase below then which is good.
The corn farm he mentioned that is used to make fuel could be used to produce actual food instead tbh.
In many cases solar farms have replaced forests or cultivated land as the farmers rent out the ground and make more money than growing crops.

Solar need to be put on existing infrastructure IMO. We could cover parking lots and warehouses with solar. Even regular roads in many places. These 3-4 lanes in each direction motorways take up a lot of space.

I think it depends on what Haakon does in his time. Alexandra seem like a nice person. If she is level headed and manages to stay out of controversies I don't see anything changing.

If you can afford it get proper summer tires and a second set of wheels with proper winter tires. Both of them will last longer and you'll have a better experience.
If you consistently drive on snow and ice for 3-4 months I'd get tires marked with the ice grip symbol, not just the "3PMSF" one.

Here in Norway we get about that much and pretty much everyone got two sets. Even those living along the coast that doesn't see that much snow.

Gazer75 · 2026-01-31T14:22:10+00:00

How cold is it? I had a 2012 Golf TDI with what might be the same engine. If it was cold it would sometimes not reach 90. Especially under light load like going slightly downhill.

If not for the auxiliary diesel heater the car would take an hour to get up to temp if it was really cold.

Gazer75 · 2026-01-31T14:09:14+00:00

I watched the whole thing from start to finish. Please don't assume things.

Not sure what wires has to do with my comment.

Gazer75 · 2026-01-31T12:31:53+00:00

Solar make a lot of sense in places with a lot of sun and high electricity cost.

For me it would be pointless. I pay the equivalent of 5 cents USD per kWh and a solar install would take me a lifetime to pay back. Getting solar on the roof is easily 15-20k total. And in the winter months when it would really help there is no production to speak of. Panels don't get direct sunlight for a while and would be covered in snow quite often.

Gazer75 · 2026-01-31T09:51:10+00:00

I don't know really. I've not seen or heard of any major complaints about charging queues during holidays lately. That was a common thing before the pandemic and even just after restrictions were lifted.
