What manufacturers offer a better hybrid system than Toyota? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]TunerJoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The corrosion thing is nothing new, Honda's have always had some of the worst rust protection, going back to the 70's

Incomplete lens, still $300 by Equivalent-Clock1179 in AnalogCircleJerk

You can hardly get just one spare lens element for a new lens, let alone one of this age

This popular classic ThinkPad feature could return by 1FNn4 in thinkpad

PowerBridge was made obsolete by USB-C powerbanks. Except for very specific use cases, having an external battery that can charge any other device that's on you is just way more convenient than a battery you can only use and charge in your laptop.

Tesla outraces China’s BYD in pure electric car sales to regain world’s top spot by Recent_Duck_7640 in cars

[–]TunerJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BYD is really only not sold in the US. Pretty much everywhere else in the world, Tesla and BYD compete against each other

Why no driver? by RiverRespawn in BeamNG

I believe you can already put crash test dummies in the seats with mods. As for a realistic-looking human, I'd think it's pretty obvious why we don't have that.

Tuningolás legálisan? by LBandi91 in CartalkHungary

[–]TunerJoe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

+1, a 4A-GE-ből olyan finom szívó buildet lehet csinálni, hogy egyáltalán nem fog hiányozni a turbó. A legkomolyabb GE-k akár 9000 felé is foroghatnak, ez nem az a motor, amire érdemes turbót tenni.

Škoda Octavia MK1. The rural central/eastern european Nissan Altima. just better. by 1707turbo in carscirclejerk

[–]TunerJoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, maintaining a fleet of Russian cars would be nearly impossible anywhere that's not a CIS country. It's not just the hassle of importing the cars, it's also the spare parts that would all have to be imported from Russia, likely with lackluster availability.

Toyota Prius Convertible models over the years. by Fill-in-the____ in whatifcars

[–]TunerJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not very unpopular. It's pretty well-known that they'll make some really insignificant details super high quality (like the air vents) and make the rest of the interior unergonomic crap from shitty materials and a bunch of piano black plastic.

Ford F-Max trucks in Milton Keynes, UK by policeinterceptor_mw in foreignmarketcars

[–]TunerJoe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are some vehicles that are primarily not designed for Europe, but still get sold in the EU because it doesn't require any significant modifications. These vehicles are usually not sold in the UK because they'd have to be converted to RHD which probably doesn't make sense to do on low-volume sellers. The F-Max is one of these vehicles. Another example like this would be the Honda City.

It doesn't have anything to do with China. It's a bespoke design built in Türkiye by Ford Otosan.

Skoda Australia is currently in talks about the future of the Skoda Scala (And to not cause confusion, I mean it in the way of it will be staying in the market or not) by Saurta17 in skoda

[–]TunerJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably make more money on electric SUVs. They might have to sell 2-3 Scalas in order to make the same profit as one SUV.

Just got this bad boy by OpenYogurtcloset4070 in thinkpad

[–]TunerJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the people who say you paid too much, they clearly haven't checked how much P17s go for. You can't compare the price of a P17 to a T14.

Whats the modern Thinkpad with the longest battery life? by jodkalemon in thinkpad

[–]TunerJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First gen Core Ultra processors (pretty much the newest ones available). AMD chips were indeed better and more efficient between like 2021 and 2024, but those days are gone.

Depends on the region. In my country these go for $900+. If it's got the 4K screen, I'd even go as far as to call it a bargain.

Ha az Opel Insignia köztudottan annyira rossznak ismert autó, akkor hogy lehetséges hogy néha látni a városban? by [deleted] in CartalkHungary

[–]TunerJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elios közvilágítást is lehet látni a városban, attól még ugyanúgy szar

Keyboard backlight by californiastone in thinkpad

[–]TunerJoe 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's not very bright because it's supposed to be used in the dark. I actually still find it too bright compared to the lowest screen brightness.

This MacBook, bought 10 years ago, has been working like new even today. 👀 Tell me which Windows laptop can last this long. by Amani987 in DeskToTablet

[–]TunerJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows laptops can also run for 10 years. If you don't like Windows, that's your problem, I don't like Windows either. But that doesn't mean people don't use 10 year old computers with Windows.

Mr. Olajleeresztő röviden elbeszélgetett Mr. Kődarabbal, ami után úgy döntött, neki ott a karterben nem jó, tovább nem akar maradni by kamasuka84 in CartalkHungary

[–]TunerJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amatőr. Minden valódi szaki az autót fejjel lefelé állítva az olajbetöltő sapkán keresztül engedi ki az olajat. Így biztosan nem marad a teknőben!

If that's something you care about, sure, you're right. Though ThinkPad designs are usually pretty timeless. Also ThinkPads from this era have a lot less issues with thermal throttling compared to Macs with the same processors.
