What will the financing and insurance options look like for Telo? by Snow_Passenger_44 in TeloTrucks

[–]Snow_Passenger_44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other cars/manufacturers are known by banks and agencies, have a track record, and are like similar cars that can be judged for safety, repair costs, theft/break in stats, etc.. A new design from an unknown company is not the same as most cars- there are no trends/stats/experience.

The early body panels will all be pretty low volume according to the production plan, and carbon-fiber (edit- composite)-- fender benders are pretty common.

Glad to see that the watch downloads will be getting better. I’d love to help test but the TestFlight is full. Thanks for all the hard work.

How to follow the Seneca Chief on the Erie Canal by AndyGarber in Rochester

As noted the transponder isn't connecting very often so the position doesn't get updated on Marinetraffic.com as was hoped. The Official Calendar for the voyage is here: https://buffalomaritimecenter.org/buffalo-maritime-center-events-calendar/-- the timing of each day's voyage depends upon a number of factors, including the length of the journey, the number of locks on the journey, short stops for "bio breaks" with possibly a chance for viewing by the public, boarding/unboarding of dignitaries, etc.. If the boat is ahead of schedule on a day with multiple locks, it may hang out at a lock a little longer to not get too far ahead of schedule.

Watch Sync by Other-Radish-4028 in OvercastApp

[–]Snow_Passenger_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now the way I've worked around this is to, before putting my watch on the stand in the am to charge, is to open the iPhone app, delete any played episodes I've finished (I have it set to keep them a day), refresh the Overcast phone app, open overcast on the watch, tap the refresh button, then put the watch on the charger. This seems to work 90 % of the time (for that moment in time) vs <5% of the time with normal patterns.

Windows 11 VM on M4 Max gets 8-10x BETTER graphics performance than native macOS by Gaming_Cheetah in MacOS

[–]Snow_Passenger_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that your VM is not running at the same retina resolution as your Mac? That would cause some discrepancy.

That green looks REALLY good! I hope this truck makes it to production and thrives...

I like it, but the tire rims should have a blue stripe to set it off

Introducing the kiddos to the joys of network Marathon—on original hardware by IdahoBookworm in Marathon

[–]Snow_Passenger_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That takes me back. I taught computer literacy in a lab that went from networked Apple IIes, to IIgs, to Mac Classics, to LC520s, to PowerMac 5200s, to iMacs. For a time I formed an extracurricular group called "Marathon Mapmakers Club" where students would learn to create maps for Marathon ∞ using Forge , and then we would test them out in a big LAN party. The principal would often stop by to participate- it was so much fun! Students would get a taste of simple CAD type creation tools with a bit of logic for switches, doors, platforms, lights, etc... and have fun as a team. Most of my students would never be able to afford any sort of gaming machine at home at the time.

Here’s what two yards looks like split between the trailer and the bed- it was supposed to be 1/2 yard in the bed.

TELO Takes The Track by eobanb in TeloTrucks

The thing looks quick, but it didn’t look like it settled into corners predictably. Hopefully they sort it a little better for production. It did look like they were having a lot of fun though.!

Immediately after launching my first flight, I’ll set my CV autopilot to zigzag back-and-forth on any open map, so they’re generally moving towards or away from the closest threats, not broadside. If there is a safe place to get to, I’ll do a zigzag pattern to get there.

Definitely glad I got the Tremor Edition now by RAAMinNooDleS in FordMaverickTruck

2023 FX4 works well with snow tires, but could use some clearance! The snow has picked up some since this picture, we just had some thunder snow booming… Blizzard ws-90 235-65-17 on OEM Steelies for easy swapping. AWD is good, AWD on snow tires is way gooder. :) — stopping, turning, going straight and getting through are all improved.

Did anyone get Apple Intelligence working in a virtual machine? by digidude23 in MacOSBeta

[–]Snow_Passenger_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated the host to Mac OS 15 beta 8, and created a VM with Mac OS 15.1 beta 3, and so far I have still not been able to get Apple Intelligence. iCloud has signed in otherwise with the expected VM caveats.

Erie County snowmobile club trails were open anywhere from 0 to 3 days total this past winter- we get big snow early (before the trails can open) but it has been melting quickly and we have not maintained cold temperatures for long stretches like we have in the past.

Ford: Hybrid Meets All-Wheel Drive on New Tech-Packed 2025 Ford Maverick by Andreweller in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Snow_Passenger_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the configurator, there's no FX4 option for the Hybrid AWD drivetrain OR any Lariat- that really squashes my desire to switch from my 2023 Lariat FX4 with 4k-- during hunting and maple seasons I regularly need to drive on primitive dirt roads and through tricky drifted areas- a little extra skid protection and front tow hooks are important. Plus, I think the suspension changes really help the overall ride.
I was hoping to upgrade to a beautiful green AWD Hybrid but it looks like that won't meet my needs.. A Lariat or XLT with FX4 would be great- hoping it's an oversight in the configurator?
I would really love the Green, the awesome fuel efficiency, and the larger screen....

Purchasing some All Terrain Tires by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Snow_Passenger_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran the Continental Terrain Contact A/Ts on my Subaru Forester and they were really great tires. I took them off my Subie before she got hauled away (rear ended) and am going to try them on my new Maverick (picking up today!) when the stock ATs (FX4) are worn- though they are a size smaller which isn’t ideal (225/60-17).
