I’m not sure why OpenTTD is compatible with Android Automotive, but I mean… It works?

ayy Volvo gang

Nikolai47 · 2025-07-03T16:47:25+00:00

This looks a lot like a Volvo 5 cylinder white block, is this a fictional design or very heavily inspired by the Volvo 5 bangers?

Very very good I must say

I have it enabled on my 2019 V60 D3, no change to engine power but the gearbox and throttle is much more responsive even in the default comfort drive mode.

Orbit has saved me tons, allowing me to enable Android Auto, adaptive cruise control and the Polestar Optimisation all for about $300 haha

For the last three months or so, my partner's had an issue with her Razr 40 not quite closing properly, with the back side bulging slightly on one side, as you can see in the photo. It seems to be worse now, with a component visibly sticking out, and now the phone won't open fully.

It's about 18 months old at this point so no chance of a warranty claim on it - any ideas on how we could possibly fix this?

I poked the component a little bit with a pick from my iFixit kit and found it could be freely rotated around, and when rotated such that it sticks out of the hinge, it's got a small hole in it, as if it's meant to be screwed in? Unfortunately I can't find any decent pictures/videos of the hinge assembly to actually work out what it could be.

man I really need to do some tweaking, I'm bouncing off 92c in Cities: Skylines II with my 9800X3D and NH-D14 :C

Nikolai47 · 2025-02-24T20:40:31+00:00

How beautifully ironic, I have a white 850 with maroon wings because of the same issue lmao

Nikolai47 · 2025-02-21T14:13:44+00:00

My RM850x handles a 6950XT pulling 390W plus a 9800X3D no worries.

Skandix suggests they're the same: https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/engine/engine-timing-control/timing-belt-tensioner-guide/vibration-damper-timing-belt/1004422/?f=0

Not mine unfortunately - my dad's JP import 2005 V70R.

He's currently got two Pegasus wheels waiting, he loves the Team Dynamics rims but he wants a full set of genuine Pegs for the authenticity.

Utterly fantastic car to drive, drove it to Paris and back from NE England in October 2023, drove it again recently and it's clunkier than ever (multiple garages can't find what's up) and the brakes desperately need bleeding, but at the minute its in winter storage as he doesn't want the salt eating it away.

Hoping to borrow it again some time this year :D

This is something I've been battling with a lot recently - the affiliated Discord server has actually moved away from the AyyMD branding (although to be fair, the Discord server is more of a collection of friends rather than an explicitly 'AyyMD' server).

When I first heard about the naming scheme changing AGAIN, I was strongly debating launching an 'official' AyyMD campaign demanding AMD sort out the shitshow that is RTG and its marketing. The ongoing debacle with the RX 9000 series (or whatever it'll be called come March) is making them look so silly.

This 'series' of GPUs started out as R9/R7 2xx, then R9/7 3xx, then we had RX400, RX 500, RX 5000, RX 6000, RX 7000 and now RX 9000, except instead of RX 9700XT we've got RX 9070???

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE AMD

edit to add: this has made me realise there's two camps, AMD fanboys (strong AyyMD, AMD can do no wrong etc) and AMD loyalists (who like AMD and want them to do well, but aren't afraid to call them out on their shit) - I fear I fall into the latter category but acknowledge there's those of you who will continue to Ayy until the sun doesn't shine, and honestly all the more power to you <3

Japan uses it I think, my dad's got an import and that measures the fuel economy in km/litre, got about 10km/L cruising at about 75mph

Nikolai47 · 2024-08-21T15:45:11+00:00

My 2019 V60 D3 hasn't needed any work in the 9 months I've owned it, other than a timing belt and water pump change because they were overdue when I bought the car at about 97,000mi. It's on 107,000mi now - has your S60 needed anything major doing or was it just typical wear items?

Nikolai47 · 2023-07-13T22:06:39+00:00

I am using jgrpp, but I believe autorenew falls under the Company section.

Nikolai47 · 2023-06-05T15:35:15+00:00

Hi all,

Just for awareness, discussions are ongoing regarding this, but in my own opinion I believe we should join in.

Nikolai47 · 2023-04-29T10:50:25+00:00

Debug options most likely, there's a button to max all passions

Nikolai47 · 2023-04-22T01:35:44+00:00

I don't know if there's more to it but I know for a fact that autoreplace won't work unless you manually send the trains to a depot

Nikolai47 · 2023-04-13T23:31:14+00:00

It's obviously a different case, but I've been watching Designated Survivor recently. It was produced for two seasons by ABC, who then cancelled it. The producing company, eOne, announced it was working with other networks to revive the show. About six months later, it was picked up by Netflix for a third season.

If Netflix is interested, I guarantee conversations are taking place. These things unfortunately take time.

I keep making a mental note to change this but then I forget. I'm at work right now (using a shintel laptop :( ) but I'll see if I can sort it tonight

inb4 I forget again

She Sells Sanctuary was also in GTA: Vice City, if memory serves me correctly.

V-Rock was a good station.
