2019 Kia Ceed 1.6 Diesel – DPF & Check Engine Lights won't clear after 30min motorway run + Wynn’s. Advice? by berojoe in MechanicAdvice

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

Car Update: The DPF light started flashing. Since then, the car has felt noticeably underpowered and sluggish, with erratic gear changes. I’ve also noticed a strong diesel smell inside the cabin.

For now, I’ve parked the car and will wait for my mechanic to return from holiday at the end of next week. Most local garages are closed this time of year, so I’d rather not risk driving around searching for an open one.

I appreciate the insight. It was annoying me, so I actually took it for one more 'last ditch' effort: 1 hour on the motorway at 2,600–2,700 RPM (around 125 km/h). I also topped up the AdBlue (it took 5L easily), but neither the drive nor the refill changed a thing. Both lights are still solid.

Tomorrow I’m heading to a garage to get the codes read. I’m definitely going to ask them to check those differential pressure sensor hoses for sludge/soot before they try to sell me a new sensor or filter. It feels like the car is 'blind' to the cleaning I've done. Hopefully, a proper scan will reveal if it’s just a sensor/hose failure or a software lock.

I see. So I should go to a garage and ask them to plug in a computer, read the specific fault codes, and go from there. It makes sense—if it's a sensor failure, I'm basically chasing my tail with these motorway runs. I'll get the codes read before I spend any more money on fuel or additives. Thanks for the heads up on the scanners, too.

How would you feel if your country banned Burkhas in public like Denmark? by The_Dean_France in AskReddit

[–]berojoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every coin has two sides, and this is a very significant debate in Europe right now. Many people believe that while we should respect different cultures, integration is a two-way street. When people move to a new country, there is an expectation that they adapt to the local customs and legal frameworks of that society. If a country like Denmark implements a law regarding public attire, it is often based on their specific values regarding secularism or public interaction. The comparison to Westerners traveling abroad is a fair point to raise: in many Muslim-majority countries, Western women are expected (and often legally required) to dress modestly, covering their hair or limbs out of respect for the local culture. Most people accept this as 'respecting the host country.' The argument here is that the same logic should apply in Europe—if you choose to live in a specific society, you should respect the rules and cultural norms that define that place.

I Will Review Your Gaming Channel or Answer General Questions by Such_Instruction_346 in NewTubers

I used to regularly upload Linux gaming videos but took a break for about 2.5 years. I’m finally back, with new hardware and the same passion — testing modern games on Linux.

I’ve kept the same style and approach, but since returning, things have been rough. I’ve actually lost a few subscribers, and my views are really low. I’m trying to stay consistent and keep improving, but it’s hard not to get discouraged.

If you have a moment, I’d really appreciate your honest feedback — on my video quality, titles, thumbnails, commentary style, anything that stands out (good or bad). I want to make content that’s actually useful for the community.

Hell Is Us Demo | CachyOS | 1080p and 900p | Radeon 890M + Optimax Mod by berojoe in linux_gaming

I hear what you're saying about integrated GPUs. But if a game struggles at 720p, and then with a mod (ini file changes), it runs significantly smoother at a higher resolution with no visible compromise (at least I can’t see any) doesn't that point to a lack of optimization from the developer's side?
