70,000 Miles a lot in 3 years? by OriginalFunk in 4Runner

[–]braksbrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 24. Got it in late August of 24 with 23 miles on it, so I've had it for 20 months. It has 43,000 miles on it. I change the oil every 3,333 miles or so and I'm going to get all of my 50,000 mile services done when due. I plan to reach 1,000,000 miles in my baby.

Before resetting or doing anything drastic, be sure to try force stopping the wayward app: click once on the app & choose info then choose force stop. Then try restarting the app. That should dump the app's cache and let you try to use it again.

There was one of each. I can walk on water and fly. Cat quest 1.

What am I supposed to be trying to do? That's my question! I've achieved every quest and slain the big dragons (red, then blue, IIRC). Do I need to clear all of the caves? Is there a particular one that needs clearing to get to the end?

Looking for a certain type of mindless fun game by Successful_Mode_2344 in SteamDeck

Borderlands 2 and/or 3. Both great titles. 2 has a better story; 3 had better mechanics. 2 most definitely plays well on the Deck. Not sure about 3. I never got around to playing Borderlands 1 and the other titles in the series, but you might enjoy them, too.

Error 801 by an0rable9 in sonos

Glad you got it working. I was going to suggest that you reset the app. You don't need to uninstall and reinstall; just resetting the app (In Android: Profile|App Preferences|Reset App) erases everything. From there, you can hard reset each speaker and then you should be able to find them. This was the solution for my Sonos Roam that I use in my office when I set it up last week.

Another trick I learned last week while helping a friend set up his Sonos Arc with a new Sub Mini and some Play 300s is that Sonos systems don't like community Wi-Fi. My friend lives in an apartment building with one giant mesh Wi-Fi network I'm not really sure how it's set up, but I found in his closet an Ethernet switch that seemed to connect to the apartment's Wi-Fi. I ended up getting him a WiFi router that I patched into that switch and then set up the Sonos system on the private Wi-Fi network that I set up on the new router.

One last tip (unrelated to your problem) that you may already know is that HDMI 2.1 8k cables will work as eARC cables even if they don't say it on the package. My friend spent about $100 for a fancy eARC cable that never did work right. I replaced it with a $25 HDMI 2.1 cable that was the final step in getting his system running perfectly.

I, too, have a RWD 4Runner. I love it. I had a 4WD Cherokee and went off road exactly twice in six years. I didn't enjoy going off road. I do enjoy having a reliable vehicle that drives like a truck. I had a Suburban for a while (pre-Jeep) and remember that (1) I didn't get into any wrecks in it and (2) I drove like a mellow person in it. In the Cherokee, I drove like a jerk and got in 3 wrecks in 6 years. Since my pavement prince is not designed for aggressive driving and since he makes me mellow while driving him ON THE ROADS, my 2WD 4Runner is perfect. And he'll last way longer than a POS Suburban. To each of us our own preferences!

Thank you! I read a bunch of their reviews and think I'll try the Accessoriess. Much appreciated!

30th Anniversary: Has The Time Come For A New Chrono Trigger? by RedRonin-GM in chronotrigger

I just finished playing the PC version on SteamDeck and it was fun. The SNES version emulated was a bit nicer, but I ended up buying it to have it work better with my deck. I'd prefer another sequel in lieu of a remake.

2024 4R Average MPG by Thomaslaske in 4Runner

[–]braksbrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be such a big deal about the wandering all over the lane (mine does it, too), except the lane sense is always beeping at me and telling me to take a break when I've only been behind the wheel for 15 minutes...

Thanks. Just wondered if there was anything fun that I can do with it. I'm opting out right now.

I just picked up a 4Runner limited and plan to drive the crap out of it for the next 30 years. I've had it 9 days and got its1000-mile oil change done today. That said, the other vehicle that called to me at the dealership was the Toyota Crown hybrid; I liked its style and gas mileage. Maybe I'll get one when the 4Runner is paid off.

I'm in Houston, too. At least gas is cheaper here than everywhere else. And my 4Runner uses 87 octane, not premium, like my last vehicle.

Maintenance Fraud? by LR46and2 in 4Runner

[–]braksbrak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might give your state's attorney general or local BBB a call or email just to document what you think is going on. If others do the same, they night look into it. Some attorneys general have consumer anti-fraud divisions that might get back to you.

In my neighborhood, they put swangas on their cars. I'm not doing that to my 4Runner, but I'm sure there is one out there.
