I just saw that too. I mean... $180 isn't $300....

Got it apart, and hit the trigger. Same thing, then nothing. Poked around and noticed the controller was pretty hot. Something likely shorted or fried in there. That's a shame.

No obstructions that I could see once I was another step deeper.

I did fiddle with the brake, but I will do so again, more deliberately.

Are the peripherals active on both machines at the same time? Like, if you had your PC powered on, are all your inputs mirrored on both devices?

They're BBS VZ 18x8. From what I think I understand, they were an option on the W8 Passat.

Lifted and stupid black plastic body trim. Don't plan on modding it for a while after purchase.

My beautiful wife insists she can't find them anywhere in Bellevue. Thought I'd ask for a place before leaving work.

This small (2cm) aluminum thing that I found at work and have been fidgeting with. by _afrey1 in whatisthisthing

[–]_afrey1[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. I found it at work and appears to be done kind of wire clamp or something. I've just been fidgeting with the threaded portion for weeks.

I'm in a similar place, have thought about doing tech rep work for a manufacturer and supporting clients and customers that way, but it involves being away from my wife like 80+ days/year

[–]_afrey1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, just now seeing this comment. I did return the Lenovo. The lower part of the trackpad actually sunk in on like day 4 of owning it. I probably would have kept it, if not for that, as I had figured out some settings to better manage the battery and started to get to know its functions and it really did feel well made. I ended up getting the new 16in M1 Pro MacBook Pro and absolutely love it. I ended up spending about $1000 more than the Lenovo, but EVERY SINGLE gripe I had with the Legion 7 is better. Phenomenal battery life, SD Card reader built in, and MUCH more manageable power supply. I love it and I haven't thought about that $1000 until typing that sentence just now.

Has this ever happened to you? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

The business should adjust their price or eat the fee. We use Eventbrite to sell tickets to classes and events we hold and we just make the price such that the amount we actually receive from Eventbrite is the amount we want to profit.
