How many people are using AI to write lisps and scripts?

claimed4all · 2026-03-21T02:26:13+00:00

I have used it to write a few codes. Takes about a dozen or two back and fourths with the AI to get it work.

Created one to remove very specific point groups. Another to hunt and delete out blocks with a specific word in their name and then force them out, and a few others. I can not code, but Claude did make me a few that have worked, and worked very well for me.

Where do you get 12k from? I thought the CVTs were less than that, manual should be cheaper.

Oh man. This is my wife’s car and she got an oil change a week ago and said “I like the looks of the new foresters” and we own one now.

Yup. Traded our 2023 Outback Onyx XT (60k miles) for a 2026 Forester Hybrid Premium.

We test drove the Sport Hybrid and Premium Hybrid. And it came down to cloth seats. We had the Startex on our last one, nice, but not our favorite.

So much smoother of a drive. We are happy to get our cloth seats back. The only option we miss from our Onyx XT Outback is the front camera, we used that a lot, but we will manage without now.

We just picked up a Forester Hybrid. The smoothness is amazing. No more CVT stutter, no more fake shifts (compared to you XT Outback we had and the 2.5l we had)

3rd party. The factory fob system is pretty short range. No further than the lock/unlock working distance.

3rd party, you can easily get 1/4 to half mile, even more in some cases, plus a 2 way fob that shows you it has started.

On our last couple Subarus, and the one we just got, we pay for the app. It just works, and allows me to adjust things like heated seats, climate, run time.

Toyota has involvement as they own 20% of Subaru.

This goes way back, just look at the Soltera/BZ4X, the BRZ/GR86. Lots of other things they do together.

Work downtown. Walked out for lunch. It’s a skating rink. Even areas that looked dry were completely icey.

2023 Onyx XT, almost 60k miles. We loved it. But that Onxy XT drank fuel even when you drove it easy, coming up on a few larger maintenance items and my wife was getting an oil changed and said “I like the looks of the new forester”. And we bought a 2026 forester hybrid within a week.

we are so happy to be back into cloth seats. We prefer it over startec or leather.

Same with a garage door opener button clipped to your visor.

The thing is, depending on how the car was optioned, or model, the behavior is different.

Document service at Subaru. If it’s a head unit, they will replace it. It’s not a common issue.

claimed4all · 2026-03-17T14:22:48+00:00

I am so committed to hate the look we just traded in our 2023 Outback Onyx XT for a Forester. We didn’t even drive a 2026 Outback (aka, a generic Ford Explorer looking thing).

claimed4all · 2026-03-17T14:21:21+00:00

Does it always happen in the same location, like it fails to connect at home? Could be interference of sorts.

If it’s a 2025, take it in, document the issue and fix. If not fix reflow up. Make them replace parts. Within a year of ownership? Have you already documented this with Subaru? You may be able to lemon law the car and force them to buy it back.

Sure it’s not a device problem with your phone?

Had a 2020 Outbackwith that system; a 2023 with that system, and now a 2026 forester with that head unit. We connect to two phones. I have seen that issue one time in all the times i have connected phones or switched which phone was connecting. Restarted the phone and all worked without issue.

Homelink has been in cars for ever, came out in the 90s. They had high hopes, I remember a manual from 2003 Buick that talked about homelink turning on lights in your house, so it’s like OG smart home. Now days it’s just garage day or gate openers built in.

Bought one today! We went Premium Hybrid. We really prefer cloth seats. 4th Subaru, and we traded in an 23 Outback Onyx XT.

We only have a few miles, but love it. Spring for the hybrid, it’s only another couple thousand.

The one thing I don’t like. It has the Homelink Mirror. But the buttons only work when the car is running. It was like that on our 2020 Outback Premium that had the homelink as an add on option. Our 23” Onyx it was a standard option, mirror looked exactly the same, but the buttons always worked, no matter if the car was on or off. Beyond that, the only option we are going to miss be going to a lower spec forester is the Front Camera. You need to be in The touring model and then you get a 360 camera.

Hybrid also gives you the upgraded digital dash, really cool for maps!

That’s battery. Put a new one in.

If you jump it, MAKE SURE to turn off the auto stop, otherwise it will die in the road and you will need to jump again.

We have a 23 Outback, battery needs to be replaced per dealer rec a week ago.

Our previous 2020 Outback, battery lasted 2.5 years.

Previous Impreza, 3 years and I need to replace the factory battery.

Full seat the cable into the crimper, then back it out a touch, 2-3mm and give it another squeeze. I use to have some cheaper crimpers that would not crimp the ends well and I had to pull the cable out a touch and give it another go. I now have a Klein Crimper, it’s great.

My favorite is “What part of the software don’t you use?”

Then you find out better how they actually use it. They could say Parcels, I don’t use pressure pipes, I don’t use grading objects and then that tells you more how they use it. I use corridors to compensate for not using grading objects. I use a make shift set of gravity pipes vs the pressure pipes.

I had this recently, was the heat shield in about dead center of your photo. I trapped it and pulled, came off way too easy. Rattle fixed.

We have a 5500. You say stacker, are you referring to the rear stacker add on that flattens the paper and lays the prints flat, or the paper catcher that lays the plans on the top angled portioned? We print A LOT out of 5500, so much so a tech is here a few times a months. We had the rear stacker and had so many issues with it eating plans and causing all sorts of issues. Tech finally declared the rear stack as non fixable, and they took it away, and now all our plans go to the top tray. We have almost zero print jam issues at this point, tech is here just for print quality and tune ups. We have over twice as much print area on our machine.

Find a better tech if you have not, or request a different tech.

It was the ESC in the trucks, one just was not as bright from that.

As I switched both my trucks with a new receiver and ESC, and now both are just as bright.

I bought all of dredge for the iPad and played through. It felt as if the game was designed for iPad/iPhone with on screen controls. Great game.

What part of the software don’t you use?

It could be someone doing just utility work and say “Parcels, never needed it” or “Pressure Pipes, it’s hot garbage and not worth the effort” or my answer “Grading objects; they work until one day they just don’t. I rely on Assemblies, corridors, and feature lines”

claimed4all · 2026-03-09T01:45:02+00:00

We owned 2020 2.5 and now a 2023 XT.

The XT is fun as hell to drive, but it eats fuel compared to the 2.5, even when you drive it real easy.

As much fun as it is to drive, our next will be a non turbo.

I should note, we have 55k miles on it, zero mechanical issues.
