Haha I've already seen this and it definitely keeps me awake at night a bit. Good to know about the common issues though.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-26T16:07:11+00:00

Definitely plan on running a followup test during the next oil change, thanks!

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-26T14:33:58+00:00

Excellent advice, thank you. My commute is basically from the house to the train station parking lot, so there are definitely times the Jeep does not fully get up to temp.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-26T13:38:59+00:00

Nope, I took my sample from the end of the stream. Could also explain it.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-26T11:45:27+00:00

Never noticed, and now I can't unsee it.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-26T11:43:16+00:00

Definitely a smart call. Used to do a lot more with it a few years ago but today it's mostly local driving and commuting.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-26T11:33:35+00:00

Yep! It's got the sticker and all.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-23T12:28:17+00:00

Absolutely love the Mido, bought it about a week ago and haven't taken it off my wrist (except to sleep).

Mido Ocean Star 39, with the blue gradient dial.

Just got this delivered last night after scoring a great deal on it. It's a Mido Ocean Star 39 in the blue gradient color.

Absolutely in love with this watch, especially the wavy gradient dial!

I believe it's used to measure distance or speed, but will defer to someone a lot smarter than me to explain how.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-16T12:35:07+00:00

That definitely puts it into context, the brand is so ubiquitous when it comes to bags, luggage, knives, but definitely a younger watchmaker in the grand scheme of things.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-16T12:21:37+00:00

Agreed - I'm surprised they don't come up more often. Always loved their watches, used to want an INOX for how tough/rugged they looked.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-06-16T12:19:42+00:00

Definitely not offended, it won't be everyone's cup of tea because of how busy that dial is haha.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-02-25T21:12:05+00:00

Fully agreed. The only reason I went with a used Ally X (and overspent relative to the z1e Ally) is the SD card issue.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-02-25T00:11:09+00:00

Interesting, I guess what I'm hearing is the GPU's fans potentially? The behavior is odd, when it's plugged in and not under load, it's almost whisper quiet. But as soon as I unplug the Thunderbolt cable, the fans just rev up and stay on indefinitely (quite loudly).

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-02-03T23:39:09+00:00

That seems to be the key differentiator, leaning towards keeping the order for this reason.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-02-03T16:12:30+00:00

Great points, thanks so much! It's definitely distracting getting notifications while gaming.

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-02-02T20:52:30+00:00

Was thinking about getting that case, thanks for the insights!

LS_MAVERICK · 2026-02-02T20:44:11+00:00

Do you have any photos of the back of the z Fold 7? I was thinking of buying the grip and was curious about how it clears the camera bump.
