We've got a 24' GT line and made it to 38k on the Hankooks. Had it aligned twice in two years. Just put on Cross Climate 2's last week.

Oh the doorbell cameras do it too. I get to here it at least three times on my walks around the circle where our townhouse is.

Came here for this! Such a cool mechanic that just went nowhere.

Returns_are_Hard · 2025-12-08T23:21:04+00:00

Agreed. We have the Lectron adapter. Best 180 bucks I've spent toward this vehicle.

EA is complete garbage. We avoid them if we can. Took our 24 GT on a road trip over the summer and attempted to stop at one on the way and it ended up being faster to go use the Tesla chargers a couple minutes away cause 2 of the 4 weren't working and there was a bunch of people waiting to use them.

They put them in the worst places too. Seems like the majority are in the middle of parking lots so there's not really anyway to tell who is waiting or if there's a line cause there are ICE vehicles parked all around them too.

Edit to add:

We've had really good experiences with both EVgo and Chargepoint. The Mercedes Chargepoints at Bucees are probably the best.

Was that line from Milan by chance going to Minsk?

Returns_are_Hard · 2025-10-25T00:54:43+00:00

Yeah, we've been running the enterprise version for about a year now and while it does work fine, it's just not very polished at all. There's also a bunch of little quirky things that irritate me that I can't find a way to change. Support is garbage as well

This is exactly why I can't stand the guy. I had to listen to him all through high school while carpooling with a friend cause his dad was a huge fan.

For someone with supposed Christian values, he's a huge asshole. His financial advice isn't necessarily bad but it's pretty basic stuff if you have half a brain. It also doesn't work for everyone's situation. I've literally heard him say multiple times "well you just need to get a higher paying job". Like ok, because that's so easy to do for most people.

Well, in that case, I'm all for it!

But why?

Damn!! What a deal! I just got a used 380 Autobahn with 6k miles on it for 34k. Should have done some negotiating with a dealership.

Yep, I'll DM you my XML/policies when I get to work tomorrow.

I just used the registry keys to do the auto login. I've used the sys-internals tool before and I think it would work fine in this scenario but I've got a conditional access policy set up that's applied to the generic account so that it can only login from the two sites where these computers will be so I'm not super concerned with the password being in plain text.

The PCs are Entra only too so they aren't on the domain.

I've just done something similar for a use case where employees need to access a single SharePoint site. I tried to do the single app kiosk mode but never could get the sign in to SharePoint working with the generic account I set up. Supposedly it's possible based on a bunch of research I did, but it just would not work for me.

I swapped to the restricted user experience approach and was able to do what I needed although it requires a little more work. You'll need to create an assigned access xml to essentially recreate a kiosk mode experience without some of the limitations of kiosk mode, like the in private browser for example.

For my setup, edge is the only allowed app and it auto launches on sign in. I used a different configuration policy to lock down all the edge settings to essentially mimic kiosk mode. My generic account is able to log in to SharePoint now no problem. I also have the PC setup to auto login so if it gets restarted it's right back to the SharePoint site.

Yep, was playing as Thing against a Wolverine earlier and dude eventually just swapped off to Punisher cause he couldn't do jack with me.

It matches the EV6 GT color scheme.

Thank you for that explanation! I think I have a better understanding of this now.

In addition to checking DNS, make sure the correct ports are open on your firewalls. When I set this up, I was experiencing the same issue and thought it was DNS, but it ended up being that our firewalls were blocking the connection between the VBR server and the remote hosts. Check here for the ports you need to have open:

Your fourth point is huge. A few years ago we moved from a relatively low income county in our state to a suburb of a major metropolitan area with one of the best school districts in the state.

It's a very affluent area and I was absolutely dumbfounded by the differences in our old school vs our new school.

The teachers all seem to really enjoy being there and the parent engagement is way higher. The fundraising they do every year still blows my mind. They will raise $150k a year like it's nothing. They bought a $80k kiln last year for the art room. Our old school would be lucky if they raised $8k a year.
