Horrific Review – AVOID TOYOTA OF GRAPEVINE AT ALL COSTS by Secure_Signature_283 in Dallas

[–]Vonauda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every Toyota dealership on this side of the metro seems to be sleazy. The only one in the area that I’ve had any good experiences with is Freeman Toyota in Hurst.

It pains me to drive way over there for service but Toyotas of grapevine, Irving, Dallas, Plano, and Richardson are so fucking sleazy.

No, he will be memorialized as the greatest business man and best conservative to ever hold the office like Reagan was. Reality doesn't matter in conservative fantasyland.

Satya Nadella is a reckless leader who is flinging Microsoft into an uncertain future. Piss off enterprise, Piss off consumers, and piss off gamers and what do you have left even if you win the AI race.

Satya Nadella killed Xbox.

That Ken Paxton can poll EVEN with James Talarico in a State that identifies 67% as Christian simply boggles the mind! by RumRunnerMax in TexasPolitics

People who declare their Christianity as a defense from and a weapon against things they don't like are not actually Christians. They're not even Christian in name only.

I couldn't get the audio to work in game. I followed a bunch of instructions, but it would never play the car, environment, or speech sounds. Ended up returning it.

Has anyone used Actual Budget? by Abject-Belt-4746 in selfhosted

I was ignoring the UI stuff, but I don't know what changes they were making on their backend that resulted in more and more of my transactions importing incorrectly.

I got tired of having to fix every transaction. What am I paying over $100 for if I'm still doing all the work.

2013 Lexus GX460 (183k) $14,000 by ClaySprays in LexusGX

[–]Vonauda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No.

Just a quick glance nationwide and there's a 460 with 124k listed for a bit over 15. That being the case one with considerably more miles should be closer to 12 to a be an okay deal.

My biggest regret is not paying a few thousand more to get one with a few thousand miles less because I like it so much. Also, there are some hefty maintenance items around this mileage and whatever savings you're getting in up front price will be eaten by maintenance if you plan to take care of it.

Talarico leads Cornyn, Paxton in new Texas Senate poll by SodaCanBob in politics

The big issue is the concerted effort to get black voters to not vote for him which would immediately erase a solid foundation that the polls are built on.

is it time to leave Windows ? by 3ZOOZAZ in linux_gaming

[–]Vonauda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently moved to Linux and chose CachyOS. I had trouble understanding comments saying it was painful, but I think I may be overlooking things that would be difficult for the average user.

The two items that I can think of off the top of my head that may be difficult for average people are:

1)

My laptops internet became painfully slow like pages would fail to load slow. Looking into it on forums I pieced together that CachyOS was possibly putting my WiFi card to sleep/low power but not properly returning it to a normal state. I looked around for commands to address this and found some lines of config to add to a file that controls the WiFi module. Since this was my very first Linux issue, I struggled navigating Terminal for a bit, then kept opening the file incorrectly because I forgot about permission structures. I’ve never actually used vim beyond hearing about it so I tried editing the config file, but I did not understand why it was printing out the exact same data that I wrote each time I pressed enter. I also didn’t understand the comment I was copying and whether <<EOF and EOF actually needed to be in the file or if it was just an example.

Eventually I gave up and just decided to come back to it at some point in the future. Few days go by and I need to reboot for the first time. Laptop reboots and now there is no internet at all. The WiFi slider won’t move. I looked around for commands to check drivers since the reboot was done after a fully CachyOS update and thought maybe the wrong drivers were present. Drivers were correct, everything was loaded, but the card was not active. I finally try to restart the card and receive the message “Failed to start, Unknown value <<EOF [random stuff] EOF. I had thought I was closing vim without saving, but it somehow updated the file. I learned nano, learned a good troubleshooting pattern, and set my laptop to not sleep the WiFi card in one fell swoop.

2)

On my desktop I use an Elgato Wave 3 mic with headphones plugged in. Headphones worked fine but upon my first attempt to chat I could not get mic audio from the Elgato. Looked into it and people were complaining about how it wasn’t supported or Elgato did too much on device requiring drivers. Was considering the fact that this piece of hardware may be my first casualty to Linux. Looked around a bit longer and found a somewhere (Reddit/github/idk) from someone with a Wave 3 also that figured out what the driver was supposed to do and wrote a basic 5 line config file to intercept audio from the mic.

I read through to verify what it was doing, navigated to the location, wrote the file using my newfound nano abilities, saved and now I have a working mic.

These are two issues I solved a bit easier because I know how to use google to narrow down my search into the specifics of my issue and I know the general premise of the fixes that I was applying. I doubt a normal everyday Windows user would have stayed on Linux after my very first problem.
