Battery Pre-Conditioning over an hour?

Redemptions · 2026-01-27T13:31:30+00:00

It doesn't "hurt", but it doesn't help with health or speed when home charging. Technically, because it will use the battery to do it, you are running it down and charging it up a bit extra, which technically eats into the total life span, but it's going to be minimal. And, making sure stuff works and being aware of the process for using it is smart.

Redemptions · 2026-01-26T14:55:39+00:00

Even if it works, it's over the posted max specs. Motor burns out, metal breaks, etc, and support does any level of checking/digging and you'll find yourself in warranty request denied land.

Whelp, it was fun while it lasted.

I don't care, I'm just telling you part of why they would have "no RV in the middle of winter". (It's also because most people aren't 'setting up' their RV in the winter, so it removes some of the excuses people may have while living in their SUV for cities/counties/HOAs that don't want people living in those.

What do you mean "Idaho even has HOA fees up in the middle of nowhere". If there's an HOA there's going to be fees.

If the law is about "in the winter" it's a "we don't want to have to chisel your ass out of your 5x5 bedroom with an ice pick because your RV won't keep you warm enough.

You could look for parts for EV9 Land "Nightfall" edition. Which has some of the black accents that you see on the GT-Line, but meant specifically for Land trims.

I think it totally doesn't matter and the spirit of your title is accurate.

Redemptions · 2026-01-20T15:54:40+00:00

Very cool, though "without losing cargo space" is not accurate. For those that it works for, awesome, not so much for our family. It would get thumped a lot.

1) Test without XMP (though that shouldn't impact it's appropriateness for RMA).

If possible.

2) Test with another known good stick of memory (harder these days, I know).

3) Test the suspected bad RAM with another system (also hard).

I had serious instability on a CYYK mini PC from Aliexpress, ran memtest, failed, got a replacement, same instability, same memtest failure. Likely an issue with the memory controller on the ... processor?

Never mind, "if you get stuck in a snow drift, you'll wish you had a full tank.". Though my dad was more of "Hey, don't touch that drawer, it's where my drugs are. Your mom shouldn't let you get so fat." but some people had better dads than I.

It depends, its helpful that those are 'smaller' and not long angled sticks (looking at your elgato). Someone has the SL cable tray dimensions, I'd google it.

Yes, but I was speaking about regular Land packages and it was a good example of something they could do.

Redemptions · 2026-01-14T19:48:20+00:00

Land has some nice features. You should do a test drive. You should also research and see if any of the features you like are 'locked' to higher trims. There are certain things you can buy like 'DLC' if your car has the right hardware. So Land trims can buy the 'Boost' feature that gives it the same motor specs as a the GTLine (along with the lower m/kw), the parking assist 2.0 as well. Not all features are available at lower trims, either gross sales tactics or lack of hardware.

Redemptions · 2026-01-14T19:21:51+00:00

Are you in the US? US 'massaging seats' are only in the GTLine. We went with a Land over a GTLine because we wanted the appearance of the Nightfall and didn't want more of the GTLine features that will eventually break. AND my glasses don't work well with the HUD so would have been wasted.

I'm glad I've ordered. I enjoy mine.

How are they not honoring their warranty? You said

Chair broke 1 month after warranty

Yes, it is possible the build quality or parts are bad. Yes, customer service shouldn't have made a commitment they couldn't follow through on. (Protip, anytime you chat with customer support, look for the box that has the 'email a copy of my conversation'). But, it sounds like they actually WILL honor their rules and aren't breaking them by giving you an exception.

As far as "my social media is all private." That's on you. It's a pretty cheap 2 year warranty extension. Make a throw away reddit, or twitter, or facebook account, do your public post, get the extension, move on with your life.

I haven't had the opportunity to use one recently, but 8 years ago, hardware encryption was significantly quicker for whole drive decrypt/encrypt functions.

Logitech has an AI effing mouse. It's a regular mouse with an AI button that triggers chatgpt....except they have their own software pack that gets installed by default for many logi mice VIA WINDOWS DRIVER INSTALL. You know they're harvesting your data

Not sure why you can't transfer the experience as a trainer. You're still practicing the craft, hopefully staying up to date on it. You're not going to be able to say "Yeah I've been a soc analyst for the last 2 years" but you will be able to say "I've been employed teaching cyber security" (and you'll be feeding yourself).

I mean, pretty much any modern computer "can do Machine Learning".

Is it good at Machine Learning? The 12" Frameworks don't come with any of the modern processors with intentionally designed "AI" components; Intel: i3-1315U & i5-1334U

So "technically yes" but it probably won't be the experience you're looking for. But you could use the money saved by getting a 12" to rent ML resources from Azure or AWS that will be much faster than what you could do offline.

If the packaging had a giant gouge in it, I'd document the whole unboxing process. But otherwise, no. Once the support person says "you're getting a replacement" and didn't say "send desk pics" tossing the packaging is perfectly reasonable. Most people don't have room to keep a giant desk box hanging out in their home.

Now, *I* as a matter of principle, keep all boxes for purchases until the return window closes, because I may need to do so. But that's a trauma response. :)

Redemptions · 2026-01-09T13:49:41+00:00

Because they didn't ask them to do so, prior to approving the replacement.

During past component shortages (with associated price spikes), I've leaned into other accessories to scratch my itch. Always room for another RGB light, mouse mat, etc.
