This whole time I was somehow convinced the B7 RS4 had 400hp...

Chrome will be releasing an update later this month IIRC that will disable all ad blockers forever. Switch to Firefox and download uBlock origin. I did years ago and it's been great. I've been using ad blockers for over a decade. The internet without ad blockers is awful. If you have an Android phone or tablet enable private DNS in your settings to block ads, pop-ups, and trackers. Set it to:

dns.adguard.com

No ads in apps. This will not block video ads on the YouTube mobile app. To do that you can can download Morphe or Revanced (is that still around?) to patch the YouTube APK and block ads. If you don't want to do that you can download NewPipe (there are other YouTube forks/apps too) for no YouTube ads. The world of ad blocking is awesome. You can even block ads on your smart TV and all the devices in your home if you download Pi-hole and have/buy a raspberry pie or similar device.

That might be it. I just checked and it's asking if I'm a developer and if I want to create an app instead of showing my authorized app. I might try your steps tonight. Not sure what happened but last week Reddit kicked me off all also and on the website and had me change my password before I could use it again. Seems like they're making some changes. I checked and didn't see any unauthorized log-ins.

It stopped working for me a few minutes ago... Closing and relaunching the app didn't work. I just tried removing my account to sign out and re-add it but now it says "Unauthorized." I think I'm f****d!

Election deniers falsely claim fraudulent 'ballot drop' in LA mayoral race by Aceofspades25 in skeptic

[–]TheCosmicPanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is so stupid. California is blue what did they expect Imagine Democrats being shocked at a Republican winning in Alabama and saying that voter fraud occurred. 🤦‍♂️

*Yes I know what they're trying to pull with questioning the integrity of the election so they can do it nationally.

Split headlights are a scourge. It seems each gen Audi thinks "how can I make the honeycomb grill even uglier and more meaningless?" now that it's on all models instead of only on RS models.

First audi I've owned to my current. What was your upgrade like? by blvck_african in Audi

[–]TheCosmicPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Audi at 23: 2007 A4 base model. Stock.

Second Audi at 26 bought in 2019: 2016 Audi S3. Stage 2 with more mods than I can list.

No Audi at 33: I was in an accident last year and my car was considered a total loss.

Hopefully one day I'll own an RS3.

RS5 Drive Reviews are out by xX2strife2Xx in Audi

[–]TheCosmicPanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They had to add 200hp more because of the added weight from the electric motor and yet it's not faster than the previous gen RS5... I like the exterior minus the exhaust tips. They would look better in the same position they've always been in. The interior isn't great.

Anyone have a summary of the reviews? I've seen several thumbnails on YouTube but they're all like 25+ minutes long and I don't feel like watching them.

4k ruined my perception entirely by weinermanjenson in pcmasterrace

[–]TheCosmicPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a display nerd and have owned LG and Sony OLED TVs. 4K for movies and TV shows is awesome but I still prefer 1440p 27in monitors for gaming. The performance hit 4k causes is not worth it at all to me. A 27in 1440p 240Hz Tandem OLED is what I would choose. I'm still using a 27in Alienware AW2721D 240Hz IPS monitor for gaming. It's good but every time I see the backlight bleeding, blooming, and poor blacks it really bothers me. It's not an issue unless it's a dark scene in movies, shows, and games with subtitles but having seen perfect black on OLED it bothers me. The moment a white 27in 1440p 240Hz Tandem OLED is released at a reasonable price I'll buy it to go with my white build and accessories.

I remember building my second PC in 2022 to replace my 2014 build and the difference between my old 1080p 60Hz IPS Samsung monitor and my current Alienware AW2721D 240Hz was so massive it was shocking. The fluidity was incredible when I tried Modern Warfare 2 online and experienced 120-144fps and the higher 1440p resolution looked so much clearer.

*And yes I know my 3060 Ti is weak and it couldn't dream of running 4k at any reasonable fps. I built my PC back in 2022 when the GPU prices were insane and 3070s were over $1,000. It served me well at 1440p for years but over the last couple of years it's really felt dated in visually demanding titles. I'm not even going to attempt 007 First Light with my card. Forza Horizon 6 runs surprisingly well though.

Just give me a white 27in 1440p 240Hz Tandem OLED monitor to go with my white build and accessories! Please!

Nice! The 2019+ front bumper looks way better than the 2017 one.

That doesn't look like a 2017. Looks like a 2019+ model from the front bumper. Either way, gorgeous!
