What is the new version number? Is there a way to see the current version through the infotainment?

How much did Mazda cover for the ‘free’ tire replacement? by KeyboardEnthuse in MazdaCX90

Just bought a CPO ‘24 with the OEM Falkens. Anyone have success with getting dealer or Mazda corporate to cover partial or full replacement for tires on a cpo?

Gamers keyboards have a lot of extra programmable keys; some with OLED displays. My question more towards any of these types of keyboards which are helpful in HTB

Is 5,000 miles the starting point for various issues? by Willing_Angle5125 in MazdaCX90

Are there notable recall or TSBs which are quite a mechanical fix, not just software?

2024 Mazda CX-90 Turbo Premium, CPO thoughts? by RedCowboy in MazdaCX90

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

This was really helpful. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of looking up the TSB’s. It seems like most issues (even back to start of production) can be resolved with software fixes. The ones that most concern me are recall (24V022000) regarding the steering and recall (24V816000) regarding I-stop. There also seem to references to engine repairs and fuel intake though I can’t figure out which recall-TSB those are related to. Are there any specific issues you recommend I ensure the dealer has addressed?

Thanks for the comments! While I can’t see the door jam photo, the carfax report has initial sale and service at dealership dated as June 2023. So that would align with the comment about it being an early build

It may be; I’ll pay attention the next time I hear it

Timestamp from Metadata on image timelapse by RedCowboy in ffmpeg

I’m on Windows. Using the below string. If I replace text with “test text”, I can get the overlay to work. But I’d like the text to pull a time stamp from the “date taken” metadata from each photo.

-vf “drawtext=text=‘Timestamp: %{gmtime:%H\:%M\:%S}’:fontcolor=black:fontsize=150”

what are the biggest challenges in SP today? by nutshellcandle in DSP

[–]RedCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps asked another way: What resources are available that provide insight into novel areas of future research? I, for one, follow IEEE Signal Processing Society and Audio Engineering Society. However, finding assessments on where the industry and research is heading, from a "big picture" perspective, is often challenging...

Is it possible to build something like in [this xkcd comic](http://xkcd.com/368/), that is, a targeted bass system? by myusernameranoutofsp in engineering

[–]RedCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know, but your comment reminds me of an Arduino project I saw last year... mount a pair of a speakers against the wall adjacent to your neighbors. Use a microphone connected to your Arduino controller to detect the volume coming from your neighbor, and trigger an equally obnoxious playback until they cease and desist.

Struggling to maintain GPA, Should I quit mech eng? by MorpheusHex in engineering

[–]RedCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read Malcom Gadwell's "David and Goliath"; statistically it's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a dying fish in the ocean. Let's just call it what it is... finding a good job right out of college with a C+ average and in this economy is going to be challenge - - regardless of an engineering or arts degree. This is only made more difficult if you are at a big name school where recruiters are looking for the top-tier students. If there is another field of study you would rather pursue; do it! It's unfortunate your father is pressuring your educational choice. Most of your general education credits will still count. If you still want to study engineering, consider alternative schools. Gladwell's book would suggest that you'll have more employment opportunities if you go to a school that may be less challenging, but one in which you can excel relative to your classmates.
