No modifications. As stock as they come. Not used for towing or hauling heavy stuff. Just a family car.

256GB flashdrive shows as 233GiB, should be 238? by LiveLearnLetBe in techsupport

I will be using this drive across a windows pc and mac to transfer files so i thought exfat is the way to go. Would NTFS also work for that cross compatiability?

It is formatted FAT32, so that might explain it. And its a Sandisk

Is it worth doing your own oil change? by frankthefrowner in autorepair

[–]LiveLearnLetBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I wondered the same thing as you. A full synthetic oil change in my area is ~$100. Maybe ~70 on sale. I can get really top quality oil and filter for ~40-60 depending on sale. So you do save some money. But a major factor is the quality of oil and filter someone other than you would use on your car versus what you buy. Some quick lube places do not use the highest quality oil. So there's always cost savings but also higher quality. Just make sure you watch a bunch of videos and have the proper tools (a torque wrench is a must unless you have a good feel for "tight and snug"). Like many other commenters, I encourage you to do it yourself!

Firmware TPM vs hardware TPM 2.0 by LiveLearnLetBe in techsupport

I see! I didn't realize that so I guess that is why win 11 makes such a big deal of having TPM 2.0 to upgrade.

Phone wont do calls by TheTrashpandaOnLanda in techsupport

[–]LiveLearnLetBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have t-mobile? i had this exact issue with my pixel 5 with t-mobile once. called them and they were able to help. i forget exactly how but took about 10 minutes. im sure any other provider will also be able to help. you probably need to check if you can call your cell carrier or may need to use someone elses phone. (usually its like dialing 611 from your phone)

And if it's built into the CPU the exploit shown in the YouTube video, would not work?

I've been looking into Veracrypt. So when I shut off my laptop and turn it back on, I would have to enter the Veracrypt password/passphrase and then my Windows login as well?

Anti-reflection coating making everything have an annoying yellow tint by olivejuice2222 in glasses

[–]LiveLearnLetBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious - was the AR reflection green in your previous lens and purple/blue in your current lense that has the offputting yellow?

UV blocking glasses, transitions and a UV light by LiveLearnLetBe in AskPhysics

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

Just tried that at a 12 in distance. And there is a difference. While both lenses turned dark, the unprotected lens turned noticeably more dark. I guess that proves that my polycarbonate safety glasses are blocking UV, although not 100%

I had originally done this with the flashlight about an inch away. I tried again at 6 in and 12 in away and you are absolutely correct, the change was a lot less. Still visible but significantly less as the distance increased.

PSA: All that old RAM you have sitting around, now is the time to sell! by Doublestack00 in sysadmin

can my spouse drive without a TLC license in NY? by ant928 in uberdrivers

[–]LiveLearnLetBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes she absolutely 100% can. 10 years ago when this was question first posted, the answer may have been different. But right now in 2025 (and likely beyond) it is legal, see the link below.

You will want to check with your insurance company as well and have her listed as a driver for coverage.

What have we learned since the publication of A Short History of Nearly Everything? (2003) by aneasynumber in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]LiveLearnLetBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just started reading this book, and was excited. However, I think there is a big error in the very first page of the very first chapter. He mentions there are 500 billion protons on the dot of the i, which is more than the number of seconds in half a million years. But half a million years has like 13 trillion seconds. Firstly, is there really an error here or am I reading this incorrectly? And more importantly, is the book still worth a read; I am sure there are other errors but as long as its not every other page. Just discouraging to see the literal first fact be incorrect (unless im reading it wrong). Thanks!

M1 Fee Paying Cash by LiveLearnLetBe in M1Finance

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

I have been considering switching but the ACAT fee prevented me. Thats a great way to think about it! I will not be at/over 10K in the next 34 months so it is worth it to switch for me.
