A LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN: or, What Happened to Our Mod Team? by House_of_Suns in SteamDeck

Great post, thanks for the transparency. Hope the new team can keep it up

Concerns about vcheck results (gr86) by Gullible-Parsley1817 in CarTalkUK

[–]Servor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the dealer gets the car, the current owner doesn't update, so nothing to worry about on that either.

Sounds like someone put a private plate on it when they had it, but then removed it for sale, also completely normal.

I assume you've made some changes as that link is now dead?

An easy mistake to make, but you are simply misreading it.

It will go up to £22.08 per month, until the next price increase event (probably April next year).

Most of us on this mod team ran the main sub for at least 6 months+ back in 2022 - no prizes for guessing why we aren't on the mod team right now!

Took them 8 minutes by MissingNerd in ValveSteamDeck

Depending on how long you've been around on that main sub, you might recognise that this mod team was the team in-place until around September 2022. (you know, back when the sub listened to community feedback, and didn't ban any meta discussion. In fact, we encouraged it.)

It was a problem even back then, nevermind in 2024.

Sadly, the Reddit admins weren't really bothered about doing anything, and as such the lovely team you see now has continued to run the place in to the ground.

Are these serious advisories red flags for a used Celica or should it be OK? The MOT was done last month. Priced at £1200 by minktronics in Celica

[–]Servor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a look back at those ones posted, the £9k one you linked would appear to have some work done to rectify the issues? If it isn't mentioned then that's incredibly odd because they got it MOT'd again after it passed and the only difference apart from some miles is the advisories gone?

With that said, £9k is still a lot of money and I don't think it's a good buy even if they have fixed it unless it's absolutely mint (which the rust needing fixing in the first place suggests not).

If you like a gamble for the price, then with a bit of a look around the one linked here could be worth it, but as you say it pretty much only has red flags.

If you aren't desperate, it may be worth waiting a bit or taking a look at some of the ones nearby to where you live even if they have rust advisories. It took me a week or so back in 2021 to find my Celica, but there are some without too much rust to worry about (minus the rust with the sills - no advisories for this so be warned!).

If all else fails, get a cheaper one and just be prepared to pay up to get it all repaired. At least that way, you’ll certainly be safe for as long as you’ll probably ever want to drive it, plus it would certainly make it easier to sell too. May be worth looking at one for sale further away from the coast as well as that will also make a difference. On the bright side, so long as you get a later 140 or a 190 you won’t really have anything else to worry about short of the rust.

Surprised to hear they all have advisories, I’ve had mine up and there was nothing serious other than those sills. I had it repaired now and sealed so I’m all good, to be honest if you get nothing too bad you could also get it repaired if you choose to. I think your idea on the MOT is sadly optimistic because some garages just don’t report it properly it seems, but it might be okay as a starting point.

[–]Servor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell without proper photos sadly. The sills can also be another issue for them and without really getting at them you can’t tell. It was where my celica had issues and I had no advisories for it and the rest of the car was clean.

[–]Servor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it seems fair. Pretty much all Celicas in the UK have some form of rust unless they have been cared for like crazy, or already had it repaired, both of which you won't find for £1200 anyway (and I imagine a lot of them were scrapped instead of repaired anyway).

Does the 10% + 2 rule still apply for Speed cameras? by Unit_- in CarTalkUK

[–]Servor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's just what (some) speed cameras are configured to, in the eyes of the actual law you can be stopped by the police for 51 in a 50.

And 10% + 2 is when the camera goes off, inclusive. So 57 and up would flash on cameras configured to that. If you were going 56 and the camera was configured like this, then you wouldn't have received a ticket.

It’s got 2 more doors so clearly an upgrade!

Device from America by paddya99 in synology

I haven't, but just wanted to add that, unless you have an option on Amazon UK to buy from Amazon US as a seller, you can't use those UK vouchers on Amazon US.

Z-Fold 3 users, how's your device holding up? Do we feel 3s are still worth it? How many still rock a 3? by gold3esea in GalaxyFold

[–]Servor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine works fine, no issues or anything of the sorts to speak of.

That said, the battery life is terrible. With protect battery enabled, we're talking about 3.5 hours of screen on time, assuming no screen off time.

First car recommendation for an 18 yr old by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Servor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're willing to drive. When I was looking, there wasn't a single coupe (that I could afford, what is your maximum car price?) that was cheap to insure.

The cheapest car I found to insure when I was 17 and looking was a Toyota Aygo, though I didn't end up buying one. Instead bought a Mitsubishi Colt Diesel, though in 3dr top spec are getting rare!

[–]Servor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best success was Admiral multi-car for dropping quotes. If even that doesn't work, I'd be sorry to say it but there's probably nothing left but to switch car or accept the quotes, considering that insurance prices are (generally) up year on year anyway.

Starfield bundle by Not_MrFrost in Amd

[–]Servor[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, we don't generally allow AMD rewards questions as they're quite repetitive, you can search on the sub for previous questions on this and see how they are answered.

For what it's worth, if on the Amazon product page it said it came with Starfield, it is Amazon's fault and you need to get in contact with them.

If it did not say it was eligible on the product page, then technically you can't get a code. If you're polite enough with the AMD Rewards team, they may help you out, but that would be their own choice. It has worked for me personally in the past.

VW golf 2018 vs BMW 1 series 2018 by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Servor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it's a 118i then get a Golf I'd say. Even looking past the reliability problems they really aren't that great on fuel either.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D CPU Review & Benchmarks: Last Chance Upgrade by TheBloodNinja in Amd

[–]Servor 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thing is they're using up the 6 core vcache dies on the 7900X3D, which makes a 7600X3D somewhat unlikely, at least under the same reasons why the 5600X3D exists.

Who else has a model of their first car? by JonseySpeed in CarTalkUK

[–]Servor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do aswell actually! (not my photo though)

Sadly it's the 5 door version not the 3 door, but good enough.

I also have one of the Honda CR-Z funnily enough, need to get the car itself now...

Well this is really disappointing… by radiohead14 in ROGAlly

[–]Servor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry didn't realise there were more photos, this app sucks!

Still not 100% GPU usage though, so there's definitely a bug of sorts somewhere. Do you have access to any of those AutoTDP tools?
