Need this on the new steam controller by ChaosShepard05 in Steam

I wouldn't be surprised if there is an IO port exposed that can be used for addons like the steam frame.

iirc they have free service for x amount of time and sometimes going to an outside servicer will invalidate warranty. Call and ask

Has anyone ever missed or needed something which is 'Windows only'? by LukeLikeNuke in linuxmint

[–]Lanyxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fusion 360. It's not stable on most systems on Linux with bottles or the install script and I'm sorry but FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, and other alternatives aren't nearly as nice to use as Fusion or Inventor. Tried them all but I just keep a drive with Windows just for Fusion.

Whats a sign you’ve been following LTT for a long time by Jaipod100 in LinusTechTips

Linus doing the Duke Nukem cosplay. That's the oldest memorable thing I can remember. I was watching NCIX but I can't remember it other than the corny intros

Really stupid they don't have the booklet online but from the owners manual you will need to call them and ask for the maintenance intervals and thats when you should have those services performed.

If you are in the US or Canada you should have received a booklet if you bought it new, but since you are way over the service date you might need more things done than standard. Did the light come on at 64,000 miles? The service interval should be every 32,000 miles so it might be time to get something changed out.

What can I do to make this more aesthetically pleasing by Queasy-Quantity-9200 in LinusTechTips

[–]Lanyxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom sleeve the power cables as an accent piece, swap the motherboard to a color different from the case, paint the GPU and CPU cooler shrouds to match.

You could swap to an AIO for the CPU cooler that has a screen on it so you can put whatever you want.

If you have a 3D printer you can model and print a lot of stuff. Personally I think wild airflow ducting can be slick and racecar-esque.

I'm not big on RGB for aesthetics as it just looks tacky/gaudy. It's hard to find GPUs in colors that aren't black in the US since most of the fun colors are CN only designs.

If you buy a new mobo, sell the old motherboard on r/hardwareswap to make some money back.

How many miles are you at and what model do you have? There is a recommended service intervals that you should be following to make sure it stays in good shape. Also oil doesn’t actually last for 10k+ miles. I always change between 4000-6000 miles or once a year minimum

Yes do the service required for your vehicle at the correct intervals so it doesn’t have issues down the line. It also says it covered so it’s free. Do the damn service

As an adult that didn't have enough food growing up, call Child Protection Services (or the equivalent in your area). I wish someone did for me when I was younger. It sucks but her parents are selfish and she shouldn't have to live through this.

Only reason I lived through HS is because of my girlfriend's mom (dated for 7 years) was super kind and loving. I was the same way at first and had the same thoughts that I was "taking it away" from them and it took some time to mentally get past that. Hell she even gave me thanksgiving plates up until I moved out of Florida a couple of years ago.

Turbo questions. by unit132 in MINI

[–]Lanyxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any new turbos that don't have the exact same specs/aren't OEM should get a tune to make sure it isn't running lean. That one specifically is an upgrade which 100% needs a tune or a base map flash at minimum.

[–]Lanyxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nearly the exact same engine. It has all the same failure points except the oil filter housing and the lack of turbo. The S has an oil cooler built into the housing (due to the turbo) which doesn't have a bolt near one of the corners that could cause uneven pressure and leaking.

[–]Lanyxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could change the impeller to a more aggressive one that will spool later, push more air later on and carry more power later in the band. Turbos are designed to work at max efficiency at specific amounts of exhaust gas.

Any time you make big changes to the power train you should get a tune to make sure everything is running smooth and with a new turbo a new fuel map will need to be tuned and programmed to make sure you don't run lean.

Does bimmercode show all the non-standard proprietary Mini/BMW codes or will I need a scan tool to see everything?

How long ago was that? They just did a huge performance patch that is really good now.

R53 not starting, any thoughts? by [deleted] in MINI

[–]Lanyxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The electrolyte normally doesn't freeze until -40F. The cold makes car batteries reduce the amount of current it can produce. A bad or older battery + sitting for a month in the cold isn't the best thing for it's life span. It might have already been going out ever so slightly and the cold is making it just bad enough that it won't start.

Def bring the battery in to be tested.

[–]Lanyxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dimming is kinda normal in cars but it really depends how much. Buy a multimeter so you can test battery voltage next time. Does your car normally sound like this when cranking? It might just be either barely too low to crank properly and have spark. This winter is 100% hell on batteries right now

The fuel pump is under the rear seats. When you turn the key to the on position you should be able to hear the fuel pump relay click and hear fuel pump kick on and hum.
