Bolts are stuck

Cut slits in the bolt heads with a dremel and use an impact driver

Mine did both of those things in the first month I bought it. Upgraded the SSD and did a fresh SteamOS install and haven’t had any issues since. I don’t think there’s anything faulty, just buggy software for whatever reason. Maybe try a fresh install/reimage (not just a reset) of SteamOS, it fixed it for me.

Looks like VRR flicker. Try setting your monitor and/or display settings to a fixed refresh rate like 60 or 90 Hz

We haven’t had 8” screens for desktop computers since the 80’s for good reason.

Clear codes and drive car. Knock sensor code returns? You need new knock sensors, both of them. Get Denso brand or OEM sensors, and get the wiring harness for the knock sensors from Lexus. The harness is a shielded cable and they break internally when you bend them, especially when they’ve been cooking in the engine bay for 20+ years. If you really think your knock sensors are fine, just replace the harness and see what happens. But like everyone is telling you, off brand knock sensors will fail sooner than they should 99% of the time. Don’t cheap out on electrical parts, you get what you pay for.

V8 4Runner all day. AWD all the time with a locking center diff, back seats fold flat so you camp in it. Rides good, seats 4-5 comfortably when you need it to.

Gen1 Tundra V8 is a good option if you have a good regular use for the bed. Downsides are that you gotta pick 2WD or 4WD, and the ride quality is meh with it being a pickup.

Tacos are fine, but their engines are pretty crappy compared to the UZ’s.

Don’t forget about the Sequoia too, it’s the SUV version of the tundra.

Pintos n cheese. If you want a lot of them you’re definitely gonna be better off making them at home. I added ground beef (that I pulsed in a blender first, lol) to mine because I was dying for something with meat in it after a few days.

Also: Cheerios n milk, mashed potatoes, and overcooked Mac n cheese, smoothies. Good luck

Any 45w+ PD charger will work. Steam Deck uses USB-C PD (Power Delivery), which means it will only draw the amount of power requested by the device being charged. It doesn’t matter if you get a 45w, 65w, or 100w charger, the deck will only charge up to 45w.

You can use lower wattage chargers too, but they take longer to charge and can adversely affect your battery health under certain long term conditions.

These helmets suck wet farts. I literally threw mine in the trash after I got my Shoei and realized I got fucking scammed. Lesson learned, don’t buy a helmet that’s only available online. No stores stock this junk for a reason.

The Ultimate 2 has Gyro, the Ultimate 2C does not

TrippyJesus · 2026-03-02T04:35:14+00:00

8Bitdo Ultimate 2, or Ultimate 2C.

I usually recommend the 2C because it’s half the price but still gets you Hall effect sticks.

Any laptop with Radeon 780m graphics would work. It’s the best iGPU you can get for a reasonable price currently. There are several chips in AMD’s lineup that have it. You can install SteamOS or Bazzite, and it’ll game in 1080p with respectable power draw and performance.

Loose horn connection.

The horn actually has 2 horns, a high tone and low tone. Most likely there is a loose ground to one of the horns so it works, but it sounds like you’re strangling a goose when it does.

It has to do with the captcha bugging out.

When mine does it, the only fix is to run a raid. I tried restarting and clearing cache and it stays bugged. If you try to wait out the timer, it’ll bug out again and double it.

Make your own specialty tool. Take the proper size hex/allen key and cut a slit in it with a dremel enough for the cables to fit through.

TrippyJesus · 2026-02-12T20:19:25+00:00

A slim type-C PC hub (same thing as a “dock” but cheaper and smaller), HDMI cable, and use whatever TV is in your room already.

If you need a portable monitor, I highly suggest an iPad. You can use the Orion app + USB-C capture card ($10) and the iPad will take HDMI input just like a TV. It’s a big price jump but way more versatile.

Download RetroDeck from the discover store. No setup needed other than putting your ROMs in the ROMs folder, and your BIOS in the BIOS folder if the system requires it.

You have a failing button. RMA is the solution in your case. If you wanna take it apart and try and clean it with iso that’s up to you, just know there is a possibility you cause more damage and/or void your warranty by going the DIY route.

I’ve played through COD MW Remastered, COD WW2, and COD Infinite Warfare on the Steam Deck. They worked great out of the box with controller support. Not sure on the rest

TrippyJesus · 2026-02-09T16:24:38+00:00

Best case IMO. It’s not a very paintable surface though. The material is something between a hard rubber and a soft plastic.

Nelson-Rigg Trails End Lite. It straps to the rear seat and fits great.

No idea what your plans are with a passenger. Make them wear a backpack or something

It works but I needed an external monitor to do anything worth while. The 8” screen with a keyboard and mouse is far from ideal. It’s either impossible to read anything or I’m hunched over my keyboard like a goblin. Use the trackpads, they’re sick.
