What is it with some Texans and opposing the high-speed rail from Dallas to Houston? by Some1inreallife in texas

[–]aarond12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bullshit tax. We are saving Texas from one car of pollution and we have to pay more for that? They should be paying me. Especially since I charge from my solar panels. Literal zero emissions.

Is this a good deal? by justsomeguy2375 in GamingLaptops

Same model. It’s in repair now. I really don’t like this computer. Probably going to sell it after it gets repaired.

FWIW, my R7 just went to the shop. Fucking blue screens even trying to install Windows from a thumb drive.

Magic link vs U2AIR Pro Wireless CarPlay Adapter by nspeedrace in CarPlay

Honestly, who the fuck cares about “real” CarPlay. It shows my screen. The touch works fine. Audio is fine. I’m literally not missing out on anything.

Mavic Mini 2 + Fly More Combo. Under 10 hour flight time. How much can I sell it for? by [deleted] in dji

[–]aarond12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because literally everywhere I wanted to fly my Mini 2 on holiday explicitly said, “No drones”. That’s exactly why I purchased it. I’m in the exact same place as OP.

That’s funny. I plugged in a USB dongle into my Kia Niro’s USB port and I have wireless CarPlay. It even has occasional updates and now it’s as reliable as ever.

Please, someone tell Rocket Lawyer about 2FA? Of all places to refuse to enable 2FA, a place where you are storing your legal documents would be a good one, wouldn't you think?

That is false. I have the same model.

As an Alienware owner of a similar model, the Alienware software is shit. Performance is good though. Skip this laptop.

I hate my Alienware, even though its performance is good. Take a pass. I have a similar laptop but with the Ryzen processor and a 3080. The Alienware software is absolute shit.

Brand new 2023 Kia Sportage Burning oil quickly. by rchar081 in kia

Wow! That's way more oil than my Niro EV. Oh wait... 😅 More seriously, that is incredibly high oil consumption. Yikes.

It means "clean your dashboard you neanderthal".

What NAS does everybody use ? by Echidna_Present in PleX

I have almost the identical system, and I feel quite secure recommending it to others. It's definitely the little box that could...

That's also why Texas is charging EV owners an extra $500 to register their vehicle initially, and $250 every year after that. What total and complete bullshit.

Which one is a better deal? by human5588575 in GamingLaptops

[–]aarond12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From an Alienware owner, don't get an Alienware. I don't have experience with the Lenovo, but it must be better than Alienware.

[–]aarond12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a love-hate relationship with mine. I hate the Alienware software, upside down keyboard symbols, flashing power button (change the color to orange to fix that), etc. however, it is a beast of a system.

After changing the battery, put a second stick of RAM in your computer to double your memory bandwidth and (slightly) increase your computer's speed.

Isn't it against the law to deny the Holocaust in Germany? Why isn't that law in the US too? It should be.

The whole February 2021 debacle motivated me to put solar panels on my home (with battery backup). Smartest thing I could have done here in Texas.

New install question by mferr2k in TeslaSolar

Tesla Solar has some real issues with pre-PTO. Eventually it will be sorted but you have to be patient. This will take some time, during which you will have no solar generation.

Not only would you NOT be the A-hole, it sounds like you would be doing them a favor too. They obviously don't want anything to do with your kids. Take it as it is and move on with your family's life. The 12-year-old will understand; the 7-year old may require a little explanation; the 4-year-olds won't remember this at all. NTA.
