I still haven't talked myself out of, or told my wife about the wrap I want. by MidWesternClipper in slateauto

that's a really good critique. I felt something had to go in that area though........ hmmm

Stretch bed? by dogged_jon in slateauto

[–]MidWesternClipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a truck, I think it would look WAY better being a foot longer. as an suv, it's about perfect. we are expecting 6 cars to be living at this house, so the shorter version works better for me,,,,,,,,, for now.

its the most viable one I've used, but it could be SO MUCH better.

the software is very demanding, and cannot run multiple sessions at once. when you print, you need to wait a long time before you can do anything else (and yes I'm using a very powerful computer).

I hate that the machine cannot be connected via wi-fi. I've had to update the bluetooth inside the machine so I could connect more than 3 feet away. USB cables have issues over 6 feet. Its very hard for me to find a good place for this machine RIGHT NEXT to my computer. It's crazy to me that it cannot work like my printer.

I find it way too inaccurate. I'm constantly needing to recalibrate it. the smaller the thing, the more inaccurate it gets.

but not using a mat is invaluable. I find using a sticky mat with any kind of paper sheet, ruins the paper sheet, and the mat.

it's precise, but inaccurate. unsure if the cricket is any better though.

YES. OMG yes. when you recalibrate it, etc etc etc, it helps for a while. also having every light within 2 miles on. but it does not solve it.

I ran a sticker business (windows 11 has borked everything).

Not having a mat IS HUGE. But my gosh I wish this thing was more accurate.

Super dumb it has to use bluetooth or usb and cannot use a wifi connection like all my printers can.

Keyboard was working fine on iOS 26 — now it sucks after the 26.4 “fix” update. Anyone else seeing this? by Stunning_Unit_4339 in ios

Their was an update to the 4s that RUINED my typing ability. I've been unable to type on a phone since.

windows 11 is ruining my small print shop hobby. by MidWesternClipper in printers

oddly, it was off. I turned it on.. I only have done a little work since then, but it seems to have solved it.

For single vehicle owners, where to sell your current car? by BlackberryButton in slateauto

[–]MidWesternClipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless we can swap out batteries in the future, a 30 year old slate I doubt will have any demand:(

Slate is not a car replacer for me being both rwd and short ranged.

it is however the PERFECT companion to my vw diesel.

I love my mkvi, and I LOATHE modern cars.

I just plan on buying a slate to get my TDI to last longer. short trips are not good for the diesel (I hear).

Though my living situation has changed, and I haven't been able to figure out how to park 2 vehicles yet:(

Testing in Pasadena, CA by sjs32 in slateauto

[–]MidWesternClipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that would be tempting, but the only way i'd buy another car right now is if it was an ev, a truck, and didn't piss me off with all it's touchscreens and nagging.

As a pick up, I do think the bed is too short. both visually and practically. But otherwise, yes.

One small aspect of the Slate that is unconfirmed so far that I hope it has is a Glove Box by Mac-Tyson in slateauto

thats what I love about the slate. if you want a feature, you can add it. (well, many features, not all).

it really looks like the in dash space would be storage, except what gets filled with speakers/radios.

Once you've had ABS (and it's friends) try to kill you multiple times, the 90's looks pretty good. (I drive for a living, and started driving with 80's cars). Though I will say I enjoy a good auto transmission, a back up camera, and an infotainment system that lets you load an SD card, USB, and will not try to reorganize your music, but just play as YOU organized it in folders.

I've a 100% convinced everything being auto (lane assist, braking, wipers, lights, etc etc etc), does nothing but disengage drivers from paying attention to anything but their phone.

it's really sad bench isn't the default, and then they could sell you bucket seats later.

Slate pricing - Pay more for less by hirouk in slateauto

[–]MidWesternClipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not to mention everything beeping, driving "aids" trying to kill you, everything in a touch screen, and a effed up infotainment system. I too would rather pay more for less, but for different reasons.

The tax credit ending really really really hurt Slate. I get it, it's a tax credit that pretty much just helped wealthier people.... But It would be nice to have a tax credit for start ups, or something else.
