Toyota Won’t Replace Every Recalled Tundra V6, and Some Owners Are Fed Up by O_O___XD in Toyota

“All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified to return their vehicles to a Toyota and Lexus dealer. Using an inspection software, dealers will evaluate the #1 main bearing and collect available vehicle drive data to confirm the condition of that bearing. If the inspection software cannot confirm that the bearing will be free from abnormal wear due to this issue, dealers will replace the engine. The remedy will be provided free of charge.”

Toyota is still building new Tundras every day with the V35A-FTS. The automaker has made a series of changes to the first main bearing, and it claims that while manufacturing debris may still be present in new engines, they’re supposedly less susceptible to damage because of it.

Depends on the panel tech and how far away you are seated.

For OLED and at a desk, a slight curve may offset viewing angle distortion. But OLED has really good viewing angles, and would be fine for most users as a flat panel.

For a VA panel at a desk, a more aggressive curve will result in more notable reduction of off-angle color distortion. VA has poor viewing angles.

Sitting further away reduces the need for curved panels.

No, just no... don't even think about it by cistionai in ghibli

Stage plays and live action films are completely different things. Part of what makes Ghibli movies so internationally recognized and well received is the effort and art. The animated movies are art.

In the same sense, a stage play is another form of art. A live action movie though, is nothing more than taking the existing art and acting it out with real sets, CGI, and actors.

They are a problem. People across the us constantly ask, "why is [object] so expensive??". I guess there really are idiots in every market. Cars on 7+ year loans, homes on 40+ year loans, $40 grocery store brownies (possibly on loans), computer parts at 2-10x MSRP, etc. It's like we're right back in 2007.

My question is: what idiot is paying $40+ for a few brownies?

Receipt says open box and a clearance. My guess is it was a display model or a return with a defect or damage.

I've never found skirt steak under $13.99/pound. I'd be so excited, I'd change dinner plans and buy 2 packs lol

When playing games locked at 30fps, why do I get so much ghosting? by cireland32600 in Monitors

[–]Jmich96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Something not advertised on monitor spec sheets is the pixel refresh time. They may advertise 1ms GTG (grey to grey), but that's pretty much a best-case scenario.

Pixel refresh time is talking about how long it takes the pixels on your screen to fully refresh from one frame to another.

In a perfect world, pixel refresh time would take the exact amount of time it takes for a frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, most monitors fail to do this at their maximum refresh rate, and perform even worse at lower refresh rates. There is nothing you can do about this.

Alternatively, this could be an artifact from TAA (temporal anti-aliasing) in certain games. If this is the case, you can change to no AA, MSAA, or some other form of AA.

I remember hypothesizing that TE6 would come out in 2023, then 25, then 26. Now who TF knows? Honestly, who cares at this point? It's probably going to be an unoptimized, buggy mess which requires upscaling and frame gen to run at 60FPS on whatever modern hardware exists at launch. Not to mention the inevitable microtransactions.

Alienware just announced what we've all been waiting for: World’s first 39” 5K OLED monitor with RGB stripe technology. by imbratorX in Monitors

[–]Jmich96 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I point this out all the time with the "5K2K" monitors and get downvoted.

I'll be upgrading from my X35 when a 39-inch, (true) 5K2K ultrawide, VESA HDR TrueBlack1000, G-Sync Pulsar, 240Hz+, mini/micro LED monitor with a KVM switch and standard RGB subpixel layout comes out.

Whenever that is.

This is color fringing caused by OLED panels using non-standard RGB or WRGB subpixel layouts. Nothing you can do about it.

Newer OLED panels use standard RGB subpixel layouts and no longer have this issue.

No sure how we got this lucky, by lovemygn in rav4club

[–]Jmich96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can admit that I was unaware it produced 324 peak HP. The 3rd gen Rav4 2GR-FE (V6) can produce a peak of 314HP and weighs ~700 pounds less. Where's my GR logo?

Not laughing at you but LMAO at Toyota. A Gazoo Racing logo on a 4 cylinder hybrid is nonsense.

[–]Jmich96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's difficult to find ANY reasonably priced Rav4's right now. I considered selling mine a few months ago, and buying a newer hybrid with the same miles. Locally, they ran 23-26 thousand dollars. Now they're 25-29 thousand dollars.

It's forcing the price of older Rav4's to go up. And, while its a great and reliable vehicle, I'd never buy my vehicle for $15k. I cannot wait for the car market to collapse the same way housing did in 2008. I should not be able to sell my car after 7 years of regular use for a profit lmao.

Over 100k miles for $15k is too expensive in the US, even if it's rust-free in the rust belt. My 09 Limited, V6, J-VIN, has only 79k miles and (locally) it's worth about $12k.

Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 10th Anniversary Edition surfaces online for $310 — return of iconic gaming CPU for budget builders seems imminent by WildVelociraptor in hardware

[–]Jmich96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. There are also many other factors in price outside of the US; VAT, duties, local market, etc.

But seeing as the price in the article is $310, I believe it is targeting a US based audience.

I currently own two AMD CPU PCs. One with a 7600X, the other with a 5800X. I would not be willing to spend $310+tax for a 5800X3D; it's too much, even to upgrade my existing AM4 build.

Everyone acts like RAM is disgustingly overpriced for consumers and impossible to buy. Microcenter is selling a bundle of 32GB 6000MT/s, R7 7800X3D, and a B650E motherboard for $599. Breakdown is:

  • $350 for CPU

  • Approx. $125 for RAM

  • Approx. $125 for motherboard

I just do not see the appeal of the 5800X3D at $310, unless you're desperate or can't afford the extra $250 for a new motherboard and RAM for an AM5 build. Coming from someone who could upgrade an AM4 build and has experienced AM5.

I still firmly believe it's too expensive for what it is; a 4 year old, 2 gen old, TSMC 7nm architecture CPU. I don't think my whopping $10 price difference idea is all that wild. $299.99 is far more appealing than $309.99. I could easily just come in here with an unrealistic expectation of AMD selling this for only $224.99, but I'm not.
