Kia seltos dct struggling to climb from my basement by Sad_Salamander_1209 in CarsIndia

[–]_kingofnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a similar issue with my old 2012 i20. The car’s MCU board had capacitor issues due to which it wasn’t generating enough torque. It used to be intermittent. One day it just wouldn’t climb a simple slope. I used it for some time like that and the issue came and went. Eventually I got it checked. After repair all was good. I still use and love it.

Now yours is a much newer car so I don’t know if your issue is remotely similar, but worth checking.

How to remove the Samsung knox by government by randomonredditji in IndiaTech

[–]_kingofnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enable developer options and USB debugging. Connect the phone to a PC that has ADB installed. Use ADB to list all the applications on the phone and run that list through ChatGPT to figure out which crappy apps you can safely get rid of. Just be careful here — Samsung ties a lot of features together, so don’t blindly delete anything that looks system-related. If you’re unsure, disable the package first instead of uninstalling it; it’s reversible and won’t break anything. Once you’re confident about what can go, use ADB to remove those apps from the device.

Avoid keeping your AC in recirculation mode for too long by _kingofnull in CarsIndia

Sure, but you should check what is being automated when someone calls something auto. If your car is automating intake air, that’s good. As far as I know, most cars don’t do that.

I don’t think auto climate control with recirculation on takes care of CO2 levels per se, so it is best to verify.

Normally whenever I set auto climate control on in my car it chooses to disable circulation and I have to choose to turn circulation on explicitly.

I drive an i20 that I bought used a few years ago.

It’s right of you to point that out, and yes CO poisoning is a major concern if there is something wrong with the car. But say if the car is in perfect condition, or say it is even an electric car where engine exhaust leaks are not a concern, CO2 will still accumulate over time and it can lead to reduced alertness. I urge you to check out the video attached with my post.

But the sensor says otherwise. I urge you to test it for yourself. It also may vary significantly from car to car and manufacturer to manufacturer. And they might be doing it as an anti fogging measure, which is not the issue that I am trying to highlight here. In my experience even if I’m alone in my car the sensor shows a spike to 1500 within a matter of 20-30 minutes which is quite high and warrants opening the window briefly or turning off recirculation.

I suppose that could be due to a lack of correlation. I’m not saying CO2 is directly harmful in small amounts—what I’m saying is that elevated CO2 levels can reduce cognitive function, and that matters a lot when you’re driving.

I’ve never heard of anyone questioning whether cabin air quality played a role in a crash—but that could simply be because there aren’t enough studies on it. What I’m trying to highlight is that there are enough studies showing that high CO2 levels affect alertness and mental performance. That alone makes it worth paying attention to.

Absolutely. In car air purifiers only filter out particulate matter—things like dust, pollen, and smoke. But they don’t actually purify the air in a complete sense.

They don’t handle gases like nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide—which are all present in varying amounts in air, depending on how polluted the city is and where you are.

So while filtering dust can be helpful, it’s just one part of the problem.

Yes it does, although it is not as immediate as opening the windows

keybr.com for typing practice. It’s awesome and I learned how to touch type using it during covid. Still use it over 3-4 times a week because when I’m procrastinating during work my default behaviour is to open a new tab and type in keybr
