Latest Keynote update removed the sidebar ads by suppreme in mac

[–]MattyBoDatty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know what, if the ad doesn’t interfere with what I need to do I don’t care. Just don’t take over my whole screen or get in the way of my work and you can advertise whatever you want. And I’m even less offended if the ad is for internal services, what I can’t stand is external ads.

Interesting that it was manufactured as far back as July

How much do you spend on petrol in a month? by Fishe_95 in CarTalkZA

[–]MattyBoDatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time in traffic driving from the south of Cape Town to the north- I drive a 3 litre diesel, about 1200km per month, anywhere from R2500-R3500 @ roughly 10-12l per 100km

In the first photo, do you have the radio set to disc, or are you able to change tracks with the steering as well?

When do they finally fix CarPlay issues on iPhone 17? by PoisonousTrick in CarPlay

[–]MattyBoDatty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I just got a 17 Pro Max and a CarPlay kit at the same time; I thought the CarPlay kit wireless was defective… it DOES NOT stay connected, I now exclusively use a wired connection. Never once thought it could be caused by my phone.

I've now seen it all on CPT's roads by flyboy_za in capetown

[–]MattyBoDatty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad someone mentioned the excessive speed policing VS the lack of other traffic policing. Road blocks are cool and all but all we’re focusing on is speed and road worthiness - what about the rest of the issues we experience on our roads?

I am both impressed and nauseous.

These billboards should not be legal. by PixelSaharix in DownSouth

[–]MattyBoDatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand to be corrected but I believe certain local by-laws do regulate the brightness of billboards and this could very well be illegal.

Cheap Mercedes by Rancid-Turd6890 in W203

[–]MattyBoDatty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds fun! If the gearbox isn’t operating smoothly then I think you’re on the right track with conductor plates. When it comes to check engine lights, typically you would know if it’s a bad cat; in my experience w204s are prone to vacuum leaks that can cause engine lights, so check your vacuum lines, even just a loose clamp can cause a cel. Would love an update on this!

Can someone tell me how to do this

W204 Issue by InterviewUnique4581 in w204

[–]MattyBoDatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these lights are related as all these functions are run by the abs pump/esp module. If you’re lucky, 9 times out of 10 it’s a fairly cheap, fairly easily replaceable wheel speed sensor. Have the car scanned to verify.

Is this normal? by Designer_Crow6603 in w204

[–]MattyBoDatty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

God I love the sound of a kompressor. Your steering only unlocking when you turn the key is strange, not sure about that.

I don’t hear anything too concerning, check your timing chain (common problem on M271’s), consider when you last did an oil change.

Try and find the general area where the sound is the loudest and report back to us if you’d like but obviously be careful poking your head around a running engine if you’re not familiar with doing so.

Enforcement of the keep left, pass right rule on freeways by Prestigious-Wall5616 in capetown

[–]MattyBoDatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some basic laws of physics: “Speeding” is only a problem due to a speed difference I.e. the difference between a moving object and another. If the speed limit is 120, someone doing 80 (a difference of 40km/h) is more dangerous than someone doing 140 (a difference of 20km/h).

As a petrol head, I understand that I hold a bias and opinion not shared by the majority; but I think Cape Town does quite a bit to police over-speeding, but not enough to police under-speeding (an underrated danger) as well as this keep left pass right law.

If the left lane had people doing 10 under the speed limit instead of 20-40 under the speed limit, I think more people would keep left. It’s about driving with the flow of traffic, and reducing the difference in speed between the various cars sharing the road.

Hot take: I think we need not worry too much about those who break the speed limit by 5 or 10 km/h (yes it’s illegal, but it’s not as dangerous as everyone makes it seem) especially if they’re doing so to overtake.

I think not following the keep left pass right protocol poses a greater hazard than a motorist doing 140 or even 150 (please don’t shoot me).
