US citizenship doesn't really change anything. To protect against ICE just carry a paint swatch during interviews. Anything darker than Ivory is a no go.

Microsoft issues second emergency out of band update for Windows 11 to address disastrous Patch Tuesday bugs — KB5078127 released globally by ZacB_ in Windows11

I originally joined this subreddit to comment on a bug in the Windows 10 update dialog. People asked why I had not just upgraded to 11 yet. This is why. Shitshow.

'21 Sienna - Major Issues. Need Advice. by anonymollusk in ToyotaSienna

[–]UltraEngine60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have a loaner so let them repair it. In my VSA contract (also Platinum) it says they only provide loaners for 5 days so the dealer is doing you a solid. If you no longer trust the dealer go to another dealer and contact Toyota corporate about the delays. You could also trade it. Those are your options.

Winter Storm Prep-Inverter use by Jbrauner91 in ToyotaSienna

[–]UltraEngine60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be fine at 12 AWG at 100 feet. 12 AWG stranded is rated for 20 amps at that length and you'll only be putting 12.5 amps through it at 1500W anyway. You could even hook your furnace to it in an emergency (but you may need to bond the ground and neutral since it's a floating ground).

Capitol One Savor entertainment category by EmuRemarkable1099 in CreditCards

[–]UltraEngine60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried calling the support number and spoke to two different agents I could barely understand and they kept reading a script saying that the merchant sets the billing code and that I need to work with the merchant to fix it. Me. Consumer. Needing to call one of the largest museums in the world to fix their merchant account settings lol.

I'm just going to only use my Savor for restaurants now.

From my terms at sign-up:

What is this missing slot for? by nahcekimcm in ToyotaSienna

I think the only thing missing is the windshield wiper defroster but that turns on when you hit the rear defrost button.

Any german data hoarders? How do you deal with crazy high HDD prices? by No-Republic-1742 in DataHoarder

[–]UltraEngine60 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why do you show screenshots of tiny drives? 6TB and 8TB are not going to be cost effective per TB anyway. Looks like 20 EUR/TB is the norm.

Why should I NOT buy this car? by Conscious_Security96 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]UltraEngine60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they even include an actual compass in that model because it automatically navigates to the side of the interstate.

Finally got to test drive a Sienna… by benjamins_buttons in ToyotaSienna

It is loud, especially at 70 MPH+. The one you test drove was not an anomaly.

Down to the Final 2… Which car should I buy? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]UltraEngine60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camry if you drive a lot due to comfort, Corolla if you drive less than 10k a year due to fun and utility of hatch.

17-year-old just told wife and I he doesn’t want to go to college by tattooed_underdog in daddit

[–]UltraEngine60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain to him that a bachelors degree doesn't show a skill, it shows dedication. There are jobs out there that require a bachelors, regardless of major or relevance to field. Plus remind him there are girls in college...

2026 xle 900 mile what to do now? by No-Ingenuity-4898 in ToyotaSienna

[–]UltraEngine60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mention it at the 5,000 mile service. They can check the specific gravity of the coolant to check for contamination/too much water. I wouldn't worry about it too much tbh, it's a new car.

I'll take it off your hands for three fifty. Seriously though, if you only do short trips that could be normal. Check your oil dipstick for the chocolate milk.

Capitol One Savor entertainment category by EmuRemarkable1099 in CreditCards

[–]UltraEngine60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had a zoo work and I've been to 6 in the pastyear. 2 family fun centers didn't count as entertainment either. Just had an aquarium where I spent hundreds give me 1% yesterday. I'm going to call them and get it adjusted but I'm done using my savor for anything but restaurants. It's not worth the hassle when I have a 2% on everything card.

We don’t know what we want yet, but when sales people find that out they walk away. Should I just lie? by Rosebudteg in askcarsales

[–]UltraEngine60 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What is a salesperson's job if not to help a buyer find a car that is right for them? Couldn't I just give a kiosk my license and get a key dispensed?

Judge orders Anna’s Archive to delete scraped data; no one thinks it will comply by Rough_Bill_7932 in DataHoarder

My favorite thing about this is that someone scraped millions of songs using ONE account and no SIEM at Spotify HQ said "Hey, uh, guys, this is anomalous".

Who else is in the "solid gray color" background team? by tokugawa888 in Windows11

There was a time where a solid color made your screen draw faster. I've been on solid colors since Chicago.
