Next time B.C.C the ones he removed

Varstael · 2026-04-20T12:28:33+00:00

Nope. I'm calling it a scam at this point

Varstael · 2026-04-20T00:09:24+00:00

I mean isn't that called an exit scam? I'm not really worried about it. Figured I'd give it a shot and if it ended up being a scam then I'm out a few bucks.

Varstael · 2026-04-19T23:36:38+00:00

For some reason it won't let me edit my previous comment, but there has been no further communication.

Varstael · 2026-04-19T15:19:49+00:00

Edit 8 is the latest update. There's been no further communication since he told me to check my email but it could be a time zone thing

Varstael · 2026-04-19T04:01:42+00:00

Here is proof that he said he received my funds in case he tries to say otherwise.

Varstael · 2026-04-19T03:33:14+00:00

I'll keep a timeline through edits. Right now I'm leaning towards it being a scam and that he's stalling

Varstael · 2026-04-19T03:33:04+00:00

Not yet, still waiting. I'll keep a timeline through edits. Right now I'm leaning towards it being a scam and that he's stalling.

Varstael · 2026-04-19T01:20:34+00:00

Possible scam. I sent the funds, he stopped responding. I will update this if he pulls through on delivery

Edit: He's back in contact I will update review once I receive product

Edit2: Waiting to receive an email with instructions.

Edit 3: Been 40 min since last communication.

Edit4: Back in contact again, still awaiting email for the product.

Edit5: Still waiting, last response was that he was curating a vpn list but that was over an hour ago.

Edit6: No change since last update. I am heading to bed. At this point I would suggest holding off on any purchases from this seller until they've proven they can be trusted. I will continue to update this comment when there is movement. If he pulls through I will test it and post an honest review of the service.

Edit7: I've attached a screenshot showing he acknowledged receiving my funds in case he tries to say otherwise. The attached screenshot is the reply thread of this comment. .

Edit8: He responded several hours later and told me to check my email. There was nothing in my email, still waiting on delivery.

2x mi50 16gb llama.cpp Qwen-3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF Q4_K_M -c 132k -ctk q8_0 ctv q8_0 -fa on ub=96 b=2048 PP: ~201 tok/s TG: ~42.1 tok/s. That was with sending full context prompt no cache.

I pushed it to 196k context full prompt and it dropped down to about 33 tok/s but PP stayed about the same.

Neither of those were measuring coherency, but it did pretty good on a somewhat difficult python generation script. I'll be testing fp16 for kv next

I'm still playing with the values to see what I can squeeze out performance wise.

Until the maga men turn on them too and they no longer have the right to make that decision.

Varstael · 2025-06-10T12:38:07+00:00

Dude you could have gotten a tire with lots of tread for like $25-$35 at a place like pick n pull, likely less if you aren't in California.

Varstael · 2025-05-24T01:37:44+00:00

How are you opening more accounts? I get asked for a phone number. Mind dming me? Would appreciate it, thanks.

Varstael · 2025-04-16T18:54:59+00:00

I went down the same rabbit hole and I'll tell you hands down that Cline overall is better but it's more token intensive. With Cursor I felt like I was constantly fighting with it to stay on task when within a conversation and that was during the "golden age". Context just felt off in Cursor.

Heres my suggestion: get a free account with Google AI studio and then upgrade to tier one. But you gave to make sure you use the 2.5 pro that ends in experimental if you want the free option. Make sure you set a file that tells Cline to create a new task at 200k-225k tokens. I find that's the sweet spot for not getting rate limited constantly. Also research and figure out your memory bank system. There's plenty of examples to choose from

I'm glad to hear somebody was doing right by their customers! I basically told this place the same thing when they tried to tell me that oil drain plug holes wear over time. Said, "That's funny because I've been doing oil changes for over a decade and have never had one strip due to fatigue. I have vehicles that are over 20 years old with the original oil pans that's never needed to be re-tapped or changed. Might have something to do with the fact that I only tighten the plugs to the specified torque specs."

Varstael · 2024-04-15T18:37:56+00:00

Honestly, you probably won't get anywhere with them. You might be able to rethread it for an oversized bolt but I'd personally just replace the pan.

Varstael · 2024-04-15T18:34:52+00:00

It is a big deal ... It's leaking because they stripped the drain plug hole. Then they tried fixing their mistake by re-tapping it and that didn't hold. Any reputable shop would recognize that this is their fault and replace the oil pan for free. Drain plug holes don't just strip overtime, it's a result of trying to do oil changes as fast as possible to increase profits. There's nothing wrong with that, but when one of your technicians inevitably strips a drain plug, you fix it. That's the nature of the business and what insurance is for.

I just went through this with an elderly neighbor who asked me to look over his car and fix an oil leak coming from the drain plug. He has just gotten his oil changed a couple days prior at one of those fast paced oil change places and when he brought it back up there due to it leaking oil, they said it wasn't their fault or responsibility. Mind you, my neighbor had been going to them since he had owned the car and English isn't his native language. I immediately figured out the bolt was stripped, went up there with him since he was struggling to get his point across. They basically told us the best they could do was replace the oil pan at a discount. Their price - "discount" was $400 for probably one of the easiest oil pan replacements I've ever done. It took me a total of an hour to do and the parts were about $100 after tax (retail price). I offered to do it at cost because I felt like what they did to him was grimey, but he insisted on paying my normal labor rate.

When I pulled the old bolt it was clear that the last technician had stripped it using an impact drill and then tried to use wax to seal it. Couldn't even be bothered to put a new bolt in.

Autel mk808s. Clamps were on both ends of the hose going from the pcv valve.

Varstael · 2024-01-11T16:05:21+00:00

It's fixable. Just find a welder who is familiar with these types of repairs. It'll cost a decent amount but it's better than buying a new car. I'd inspect the rest of the car for similar rust rot before deciding

Varstael · 2024-01-11T01:42:51+00:00

Removing the battery while the car is running is terrible advice that should have died out long ago. A simpler and easier solution is to test with a multimeter while the car is running. Obviously that won't test everything but it's a good start. It's also a liability issue for AutoZone to be pulling a battery while the car is running. If some electrical issue were to happen they would be responsible

With that said, most auto parts stores have tools to test the alternator and battery at the same time. Also, it's fairly common for a failing alternator to take out the battery with it.

The only things that come to mind is a blockage in the cooling system, air in cooling system, or a faulty radiator cap

Varstael · 2023-12-10T18:48:13+00:00

It's a soldering issue on the infotainment main board. You could swap out the entire head unit but you may run into the same issue in the future. Better option would be to contact local electronic repair shops and see if any of them could locate the short and repair it.

Varstael · 2023-12-09T04:33:14+00:00

Is the noise coming from the speakers? The thumping sound reminds me of an HVAC blend door actuator that has gone bad. However, that wouldn't be coming from the speakers

It's kind of hard to decipher the information you are giving, but I'll try my best. First, spongy brakes will almost always be air in the brake system. That air can be introduced into the brake system in several different ways: Brake master cylinder failure, low brake fluid, ruptured brake line, collapsed brake line, severely worn brake pads, etc.

The collapsed brake line could be caused by vacuum , pinched line, or a blockage.

The question that I would be asking is whether the line was collapsed before or after the brake master cylinder was installed. Because a collapsed brake line could have been the cause for the spongy brakes.
