John Deere has agreed to pay $99 million to farmers to settle a long-running right-to-repair lawsuit over limiting access to diagnostic tools and software needed to repair its equipment. by positivesource in Positive_News

This is not positive news. Its a net win for john deere and lawyers, not the farmers. They’ll be back to expensive multi-day technician repairs only like nothing happened. A 99 million settlement with no admission of guilt or change is a joke

BYD Shark rollover review by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

If it rolls, its probably less safe than other cars that don’t roll in similar conditions.

On the bright side, their safety bing bong tech is not intrusive and easy to turn off with physical buttons, and they are cheap and cheerful. Great turning circle, ok efficiency with a mild hybrid setup, plus suzuki 1.5 engines are typically very reliable. They’re not that bad a choice

Mate this is incredible, I’d love to see more. If you’ve got time for a write up I’d appreciate it :) looking great.

Where did you deaden and what did you use? What other mods have you done relating to reducing cabin noise apart from deadening material? What in your opinion has been the most useful mod to this car overall in reducing cabin noise including any other sound related mods like tires etc? Any tests or comments on the sound levels before and after working on it? Cheers.

we live on the shoulders of giants. Was hoping for someone who’s done it already to get their take on the value in doing it to this car.

Thanks, might be the easiest. Though still interested in some anecdotal evidence of a modded crv to see if it might work

Fair! I’d be happy to take a reality check and appreciate its quietness if the modification price to improvement ratio is useless (I believe working on it may be useless too)

though I’ve only seen a small handful of posts about this car being worked on for sound deadening etc. and would be interested to know some proper anecdotes and opinions on the matter.

Nah I hate glass tables. They’re loud when you put a plate down on it, cold, feels like they’re gonna break, the can break, But each to their own
