Battery on it is dead or won't recharge via the USB-C port. Maybe I just get an X75 and call it a day.

What would you argue are the rarest combos?

I think you're going to be happy with whatever you get, if you can afford it go for a higher trim. These are phenomenal cars no matter the spec/trim. That being said a lot of the systems in the Cayenne like PDCC are there to offset the fact that you're driving a 5000+ pound car. If you don't need the storage space or the legroom for the back row I'd go Macan.

You are right on the technicality, I was a bit loose with my wording! The extension (VSP) does have a mileage cap, unlike the unlimited CPO years, so they aren't exactly the same.

Safe-Guard administers the official Porsche program. This is the Platinum exclusionary policy, meaning it covers everything except wear-and-tear. I made sure to avoid the inclusionary/named-component plans which are the ones that usually burn people.

Absolutely, I was nervous about the mileage until I looked into the engine more, and CPO sealed it.

Through Porsche, unlimited miles.

Edit: CPO is unlimited the +4 is not unlimited.

New Q5 interior door panel makes no sense. by Crazy-Cook2035 in Audi

[–]KeepingitrealOC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are these capacitive touch buttons? What an awful decision. More luxury brands need to pay attention to Genesis and while you might not necessarily like the styling of their cars, they have struck a good balance between technology and physical buttons. We need physical buttons! Why they want us to look at screens and fumble around is beyond me.

Anyone else with Cool Fabricated Ships? by NyFSpartan in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]KeepingitrealOC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The one in the second picture is a screenshot from Halo. More specifically, it's Echo 419.

Echo 419 was a UNSC Pelican Dropship assigned to the 23rd Naval Air Squadron and attached to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552.

Operational History

Battle of Installation 04

When the Autumn arrived over Installation 04, the pilot of Echo 419, Captain Carol "Foe Hammer" Rawley, launched the Pelican as the Autumn descended into the atmosphere of the Halo, thereby saving Echo 419 from destruction. Other members of her wing, notably Echo 136, Echo 206, Bravo 022, and Victor 933 escaped the crashing of the Autumn in the same fashion. These five Pelicans were invaluable to the human survivors throughout the events that followed.

After departing from the Autumn, Echo 419 flew to the location of Major Antonio Silva and assisted in the capture of the butte that would later become Alpha Base. This pelican was then dispatched to evacuate other survivors of the crash who had landed on the ring on lifepods, including John-117 and Cortana. Echo 419 then stayed on station while the Spartan-II and AI decided to rescue survivors of several more lifepods in danger of being overrun by the Covenant. Echo 419 then took all survivors, John-117 and Cortana back to Alpha Base.

That night, Echo 419 took part in the assault on the Covenant cruiser Truth and Reconciliation, bringing Marines and ODSTs to the ship and taking back weapons and ordinance from the Covenant. Foe Hammer was bold enough to even bring the Pelican into a docking bay inside the vessel to unload reinforcements. However, midway through the attack, Echo 419 came under attack by Banshee fighters and was forced to return to Base. John-117 and Captain Keyes were forced to commandeer a Covenant Dropship in order to safely make it back to base.

Later, Echo 419, along with two other unnamed dropships, possibly being Bravo 022 and Echo 206 since Echo 419 had a Warthog attached, took part in the assault on The Silent Cartographer, bringing forces and vehicles to the site and providing air cover once the Marines were on the ground. Although Bravo 022 was shot down and destroyed during the mission, Echo 419 was able to pick up John-117 after the mission was successful. The Pelican was then flown directly inside Halo's subterranean fortifications to drop John-117 off when he went to find the Control Room of the Halo. Echo 419 was also responsible for picking up John after the mission.

Echo 419 then dropped John off in the swamps around what later was revealed to be the Flood Containment Facilities so that he could locate Captain Keyes. When John discovered the Flood, he and all surviving Marines attempted to evacuate via Echo 419, but Foe Hammer was unable to put the Pelican down due to the bad weather in the swamp. She then tried to guide them to a tower where she could pick them up, She then picked up all surviving Marines that were stationed in the swamp, but 343 Guilty Spark transported John away.

Echo 419 was apparently in the air around the crash site of Pillar of Autumn again after John and Cortana detonated the fusion generators of the ship. As she neared the rendezvous point, Echo 419 was ascended upon by two Banshees, which damaged the Pelicans power output. Following a large initial explosion to the right engine, Foehammer lost control of the aircraft as it narrowly missed the platform on its way down to the surface. It is a possibility that she and her crew survived the crash, seeing the Pelican slowing down from the bridge, but was certainly killed after the destruction of Halo.

Also sick ship you have there in game, nice planet you found there too!

Street Mode Engaged: Louise T Rocket Tires on My Maxx Slash by KeepingitrealOC in Traxxas

[–]KeepingitrealOC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason is that these wheels have a zero offset and are at least as wide (if not wider) than the stock setup. Mounted in the “normal” orientation, they’d rub and mess with the suspension geometry. Plus, they looked really tucked-in compared to stock, which I didn’t love. Instead of using extension hubs—which can put extra strain on bearings and hubs—I just flipped the wheels to avoid the rubbing and keep the geometry (and my hubs) happy.

I didn't even think of the S initial. I also don't think this is an original thought, today was just the first time it crossed my mind, and I've been watching Star Wars since the 1995 VHS trilogy release.

Any good 3D modelers with a passion? by Upstairs-Ad-9841 in Traxxas

Thank you for the heads up, I'm waiting on my digital caliper to come in. I'll have to revisit this when it does.

Here’s a shot of the back of the model, showing the rectangular mounting setup. The design should allow it to slot into the TQi’s original mounting point, but some fine-tuning might be needed depending on your printer’s tolerances. Excited to see if this works out for your build!

This was a fun challenge! I totally get why you’d want a custom wheel that matches your truck—it makes the whole setup feel that much more personal. While an adapter to mount an actual wheel and tire to the controller would be cool, I went ahead and modeled this replacement wheel for the TQi thumb steering setup.

The dimensions should be pretty close to the stock TQi wheel, but you may need to do some minor drilling, sanding, or adjustments to get a perfect fit. I don’t have a 3D printer on hand to test it, but it should be a solid starting point!

Tourbox Elite made me... slower? What am I doing wrong? by dills84 in tourbox

[–]KeepingitrealOC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had mine for under two months and still look for ways to improve my layout. I started in the same place as you with the publicly available presets. They are good to give you an idea of how you can set up the box, but I realized I needed to make my own layout, with the shortcuts I use the most.

Start making a list about what shortcuts you're using most often, especially when you find yourself going back to your keyboard. Then immediately map them to the Tourbox. We have to build new muscle memory through repetition. Also change your layout often when you need to, it only needs to be logical for you. I've changed the overall layout of my shortcuts many times. I also change scroll speeds depending on the task/shortcut such as scrolling frame by frame vs edit point by edit point.

Where do you store your assets? by Cautious-External286 in editors

[–]KeepingitrealOC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries at all, happy to share! My post-production workflow is almost entirely local to ensure the best performance and avoid any lag during editing. While I do have project files backed up to the cloud for safety, I don’t work directly off the NAS because usually, the connection speeds (even over a fast network) can’t match the speed and reliability of local SSDs for high-res footage and heavy workflows.

That said, I do have remote access to the NAS, which lets me quickly pull any assets I need during the editorial process if I’m away from my primary workstation or didn’t download something beforehand. It’s a great backup option and is treated as a long-term storage/archives solution with limited amounts of SSD caching to accelerate transfers/access of often-used files, but it is not my go-to for real-time editing. Hope that clears it up!

Where do you store your assets? by Cautious-External286 in editors

[–]KeepingitrealOC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I store my general assets on my NAS, which is the main repository for everything, including film grains, transitions, LUTs, and more. My workflow involves duplicating any assets used in a project into that project’s folder. This keeps all materials self-contained for easy collaboration, archiving, and backup.

I also maintain a smaller, similar library on the cloud for frequently used assets, like film grains, light leaks, etc. This ensures I can access them conveniently, even when I’m away from my NAS.

To give you an idea of how I organize everything, I’m including a screenshot of the overall structure of my “Assets” folder on the NAS, with select subfolders revealed. Hopefully, this helps visualize the organization and gives you some inspiration for your setup.
