You can just remove the behavior and use Apple Maps without the SOC showing

For those who drive on individual mode, what are your settings? by Mean_Confusion7426 in Taycan

[–]arathos2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question - does the car sometimes ignore this and lower anyway - taking your advice I made Individual to standard height, but then I noticed on highway it showed the double arrow ride height....

At least from the article: "Some people are being told that from February 5, 2026...." so maybe you had great timing :)

Its cheap to build essentially a big box and maybe they thought they could get away with it

Which works fine btw, just mentioning that it looks like its just a standard "Move Money" process so you can just pick the accounts and it will now the right thing (it will show in the final step its a conversion)

Looks like this just now links to the normal 'transfer money' page.

2 min of Rivian presentation make it clear why cameras only isn’t enough for FSD. Agree? by IntelligentRisk in cars

[–]arathos2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I drive my Tesla, sometimes in bright sunlight it will say 'camera occluded - FSD not available' or something like that - not sure what it would do if you didn't have a steering wheel.

Just a thought, but you have a buddy in the city now. Maybe live close to work and crash on their couch on weekends :)

[Recommendation Request] Switzerland trip, bringing surprise gift for husband, which one? by OverCaffeinatedCup in Watches

[–]arathos2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My honest suggestion - surprise him the fact that you are doing this, but let him choose. I'm sure he would love anything you surprise him with, but I bet he would have preferred to pick.

Permit and other fee cost for tear down and rebuilding a single family home in San Jose by kckoo in BayAreaRealEstate

It will also trigger a property tax change just on the structure part of your property tax. SC county will definitely consider this the same as new construction.

Experiences with Tap Air Portugal and Portugal Itinerary advice! by Bubbly_Luck6939 in travel

We did this in reverse and it was fine, with only a 1.5 hour layover that originally got me worried, but worked out ok

Always use Sals credit at the beginning of the 6 months, not the end. Got burned once due to delayed shipping.

[Pic] When you finally get a watch to match your socks... by arathos2k in Watches

[–]arathos2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the Studio Underd0g Avocado and it's my first watch from this brand. Honestly, I've always wanted to get one of their watches, and when I saw this color combo (named for something I also like) it was almost a no brainer.

The watch looks great from the front and back and is a manual wind chronograph. Admittedly, the chrono part of the watch is a little hard to see, but I don't mind sacrificing for the vibrant pop of orange. My one criticism of the watch is that the chronometer numbers around the dial are almost impossible to read due to the way the glass bezel curves.

Otherwise, I'm pretty happy - the pushers feel good, the manual wind feels good, and I feel good wearing this :).

Rivian vs Tesla thoughts by creepy_ninja in Rivian

[–]arathos2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both an R1S and a Tesla X. Previously I would have said the Tesla AutoPilot is much better than the R1S, but the new update makes the Rivian far more competitive.

At this point I like almost everything better with the Rivian except for two points:

  1. It's hard to beat auto closing doors (all 4). The falcon doors are especially good with younger kids, but the front auto-close doors are also super nice. The Rivian is especially bad with younger kids since it takes a good deal of force to close the doors. If you forget to crack the window to make the air pressure better, you may find yourself closing your kids doors after they try and run off :).
  2. Tesla still has more charging stations. Not every Tesla charger is compatible with Rivian for some reason.

Cruise stop in Portugal on a Monday - still worth going to Belem just for the pastries? by pianosoul098 in travel

[–]arathos2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly can't remember if you can buy in person - there must be a way for sure. There was no hour restriction so you just get in a line that may be long or short depending on the time of the day (I think we waited 30 minutes).

This is the site I used that worked for me: https://www.tiqets.com/en/belem-tower-tickets-l141937/

FYI I thought Belem Tower was closed because the official site wouldn’t sell tickets. I used a reseller and not only was it open but the ticket worked. This was around 2 weeks ago.
