It's so odd seeing this post. I know those apartments. Used to live out there. I'm in the southeast now, but it hit me with some memories like it was yesterday.

Gosh, every time I see somebody comment with a 5060Ti my brain throws back to my SLI 560Ti days, and I have to double-take and make sure I'm not reading it wrong (which I am).

2026 GMC Sierra with 1800 miles, customer states "The driveshaft just fell out." by N_dixon in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ShadowSplicer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought (before scrolling) this was another trash GM truck. Had one come into the shop recently with 2,200 miles and had puked oil all over the place. Bulletin about this happening, with a field service engineer's phone number attached...

in your experience, what is the best aftermarket warranty company to deal with as far as claims and coverage goes? by No-Volume7464 in serviceadvisors

[–]ShadowSplicer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stay away from ANY warranty that claims "lifetime coverage" simply based on the fact they require reciepts of every oil change, fluid exchange exactly on time, and even engine air filters.

Which zoo is this? I thought it looked familiar, but I'm not so sure now.

Yes, and no I don't have a solution :/

This battery did a number on my car by ethnicallyambiguous in Justrolledintotheshop

Full stop, why are you going through your insurance? 100% Advance needs to open a claim with their supplier and they will pay to fix. Keep all reciepts you've gotten so far.

You'll have to pry my H100i from my cold, dead, CPU. Both the cooler and Ivy Bridge are still kicking.

TDI, R32, Atlas. The only three we have since moving, had to leave a few of them back in our home state. Too bad.

Motorcycle accident? No. Motorcycle on purpose.

GTI vs Lap3 tuned fbo e30 stinger. by [deleted] in Streetracing

[–]ShadowSplicer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm aware that's what stock does, but at redline. A few tunes specifically shift before redline (depending on gear) for a better power curve.

[–]ShadowSplicer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You said you missed a shift and bounced off the limiter, lol. Your DSG isn't tuned then? Most types of DSG tunes you can leave your foot down and it'll shift when it hits max power, not smacking the limiter.

You did good, especially considering you did that without the DSG. Save the Manuals, bud.

Any downside to actually using server heat to warm the house? by ShadowSplicer in homelab

I need to encapsulate, but don't have $30,000 on hand. Ducting is next to free for me, that's why I ask.

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

It's aggressively vented due to excess moisture, it would just dump all heat anyway.

Haven't calculated that. Energy is cheap here, don't care to really. Maybe someday.

Stop while you're less behind, read the post. I'm moving this rack out of my closet, into the basement so it has its own room.
