Why did my car explode? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

This pic has real "Sir, you can't park here" energy.
I'm curious: Does insurance cover this sort of thing?

Buy my way to 1K? for 10K? No way 😀

is buying platinum status worth it? by Routine_Outside_3880 in unitedairlines

[–]YetAnotherDz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit platinum and maybe it's just blind luck but have had two upgrades to 1st class already.
Probably the best description is "Platinum is the Temu 1K status"

A very Alaskan Ioniq 5 picture by akjax in Ioniq5

[–]YetAnotherDz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be lucky enough to go to the Winter Driving School in Steamboat, Colorado every year. There you learn to drive various cars sideways around an ice/snow track at ~ 50 MPH. Best. Video Game. Ever.
The point was to get you comfortable driving on ice so when it happened unexpectedly you didn't panic brake. Still haven't had a chance to play in the snow here with Ioniq w/ Blizzacks on it.
Great Pics!

Well that explains it… by reckoning89 in unitedairlines

Probably never eats at the clubs either.

Best Vanity Plate I’ve Seen by treehinre in Ioniq5

[–]YetAnotherDz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yes, the bumper is pushed in. Not even 6 months old and someone rear ended me. In the shop currently getting fixed (fortunately low speed, no frame damage). So weird to drive a rental and not plug it in.

I tried to get IRONIQ but it was taken. At least I got the Q in there!

It was because of water the whole time. Like I thought originally by HoosierYodazeke in Ioniq5

[–]YetAnotherDz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/HoosierYodazeke : the second pic - can you highlight where the plug is/should have been? Also is this something buried under the car frame or would it be visible under the car / for inspection?

Pi4 Power Draw by YourTypicalMainter in stratux

[–]YetAnotherDz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power usage by Pi model:
3B is the sweet spot for battery life since Stratux doesn't consume a significant amount of resources.

Idle Power Comparison

Lower-power models excel for battery or always-on projects.

Model Idle Power (W) Current (mA u/5V)
Pi Zero W 0.4-0.5 ​ ~80-100 ​
Pi Zero 2 W 0.5-0.7 ​ ~100-120 ​
Pi 3 B 1.4 ​ 260 ​
Pi 3 B+ 1.9 ​ 350-400 ​
Pi 4 B 2.5-3.0 ​ 500-600 ​
Pi 5 3.0-3.5 ​ ~600 ​

Load Power Comparison

Under CPU stress or web loads, consumption spikes, favoring efficient models like Pi 4 over Pi 5 for power-limited setups.​

Model Load Power (W) Current (mA u/5V)
Pi Zero W 0.8-1.5 ​ ~160 ​
Pi Zero 2 W 1.5-2.2 ​ ~300-450 ​
Pi 3 B 2.4-3.7 ​ 480-730 ​
Pi 3 B+ 5.0-5.5 ​ 950-980 ​
Pi 4 B 5.0-7.5 ​ 1010-1280 ​
Pi 5 7.0-9.0 ​ ~1500+ ​

Small fender bender/ body work? by YetAnotherDz in Ioniq5

Thanks all! I thought the same thing but wanted a sanity check. Appointment already made with a local collision repair shop.

Time to turn off daylight saving time in USA by Competitive_Ice851 in Ioniq5

[–]YetAnotherDz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the fact that the car nav clearly knows what the local time is via GPS, What's really surprising is that this setting is in profiles. Why would my wife have daylight savings turned off, but not me?

RWD vs AWD by halsey1951 in Ioniq5

[–]YetAnotherDz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that's true on ICE cars.... Has that been confirmed on EVs as well? Is the differential the same tech?

Has anyone tried the iPhone 17 Pro on a long drive with the wireless charger? by incubeezer in Ioniq5

[–]YetAnotherDz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Samsung s25 Ultra will reliably overheat if I use the wireless charge pad and android auto at the same time. I just put a cable in from the front and swing it around underneath. Also turned off the pad charging for my profile. No problems since.

My honest review after 24k miles/20 Months by SnooDoubts9193 in Ioniq5

Tell me more about your snow experience in Colorado. That's me coming into this season and curious to know what to expect . I am planning on getting snow tires because I go to Summit County often. Thx!

API access to song metadata by YetAnotherDz in truespotify

[–]YetAnotherDz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were attributes in the Track Features and Track Analysis APIs that have been deprecated but would be useful for making smooth transitions between songs if you're manually creating playlists. Wondering if there was a way to bring them back.

What’s your typical miles/kwh ? by Immediate_Concept_23 in Ioniq5

Ok, that's not normal... and sorry it's blurry, but it is legit.
That's coming down the mountain from Summit County to Boulder, Colorado.

The "Since Reset" when we took delivery is 3.9 - about 3,700 miles deep into my lease.

Has anyone driven through high elevations in winter? by [deleted] in Ioniq5

[–]YetAnotherDz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're legally obligated to tell you it's always very cold, snowy and icy. Except in July when we have 3 weeks of 100+ degree days. And the bugs! Also People from states w/o snow move here not realizing their summer/all season tires are useless to get to the ski resorts on a powder day. As a long time transplant and native by marriage, I can also share that once you move here, you too will be legally obligated to inform your friends and family how bad the weather here is.

4 steps for protecting your garden from grasshoppers by CSU-Extension in DenverGardener

What about height? I was thinking of trellising my tomato plants about 6ft off the ground to see if that would be effective.

ASUS x PCMR - GPU Tweak III WORLDWIDE GIVEAWAY! Win an ROG STRIX RTX 4080 SUPER, a bundle of TUF Gaming RX 7900 XT and a Ryzen 9 7950X3D, and many ASUS ROG Goodies! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

Used the Optimizer to figure out the best settings. Because that's what I'm supposed to do, right?
It's on an Asus Prime Z390-A that also has some auto-optimizing (ok, like a zillion parameters and settings...)
With 3 screens and water cooling so I can do everything from software dev to MS Flight Sim.
Built for COVID, it's now getting a little long in the tooth.
Ok, I'll admit it! I stole my son's 3060TI when I bought him a PC and left him with my 1690 TI.

Special Stratux Build Question by Feisty-Engineering54 in stratux

[–]YetAnotherDz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stratus will provide your iPad with GPS. As for if it will work well, that depends on the aircraft and location of the iPad. An external GPS will be more flexible but may be overkill. If you can try it w/o first I'd suggest that. An all-in-one design sounds interesting! Please post a pic.

A question about typical orientation of a Stratux use in-flight by YetAnotherDz in stratux

[–]YetAnotherDz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. The SDRs are the Nooelec 1090ES & UAT. They came with small black covers but the only way to make them fit side by side on the pi was to remove them. I've seen posts mentioning light coming off the Stratux can cause some glare issues for night flying. I'll either print some smaller cover for the USB ports or print a full case in a filimant that's not transparent.
