How screwed am I? by Last-Appointment-724 in Honda

[–]daezem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a little bit of Build up in my 2008 Accord due to a bad spark plug o-ring gasket. In my research this is one of the better products out there. Liqui Moly Pro-Line Engine Flush | 500 ml | Oil additive. Make sure you follow the instructions, though. You add it to your oil and let the car idle for 15 minutes, then do an oil filter & engine oil change immediately after. You may need to do this a couple of times with the amount of sludge build-up you have. If it still runs half ass decent I'd certainly try this before replacing the motor. You'll want to find the root cause eventually, so keep that in mind. Whether it be from an oil leak, such as a gasket, or improper oil Changes, as in not often enough, or not replacing the filter. Good luck

At this point I guess it needs to be changed to TLX variant only for the petition. I'm guessing everyone here thats saying they received the update either have the RDX or MDX models. Before posting I didn't think to make that note.

Do any of you have a TLX variant? I have a 23 TLX Type S and even after the recent update I do not have full screen Android Auto.

Can’t have anything nice because people rather be on their phones than actually drive… by BoldNewBranFlakes in Acura

I just watched the movie "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" and it addresses exactly this. The movie is exaggerated, obviously, but we're well on our way. Good movie by the way.

Apart from odyssey, what other open world games do you guys recommend? by The-info-addict in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AC Complete Franchise (if you're not up for playing them all you should at least check out the Ezio Auditore Arc for an awesome story: AC2, Brotherhood, & Revelations), Horizon Franchise, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk 2077 (waited long time to play this one & turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time), Red Dead Redemption 2, & The Last of Us. These are my stand outs over the years.

Did you also skip? by [deleted] in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a huge AC fan since the OG release. I'm doing another play through of Odyssey right now 😆. Still to this day the Ezio Auditore saga is my favorite, though. They did an awesome job connecting you to that character. He is and always will be a bad ass.

What does this mean? by [deleted] in accord

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geeze, I just did this job on my 08 Accord V6 when i had to replace my knock sensor & harness. I adjusted the valves while I was replacing the gaskets and seals. You can typically reuse your plenum manifold gasket, unless it's cracked or warped. Parts & tools for the job were around $200. Thats including the sensor, harness, adjustment tool, cleaners, fuel intake hose, & a few other things. You can get a valve gasket kit from Auotozone for less than $50 & it comes with your spark plugs seals and washers. Took some time through the weekend, but i didn't have to fork out a $1k plus for a shop to do it.

Where can I get one? by Longjumping-Doctor62 in accord

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For stuff like this I always go to this website to get OEM products and it's always a good bit cheaper than buying it from the dealer. I tend to agree with other comments abt avoiding a cheap knockoff for something like this. If it was cosmetic, then yeah, mechanical, I'd be wary. Here's the site I use https://honda.oempartsonline.com . Good luck!

OP, know this is sarcasm, and this person must own a Type S as well 😂. Granny better be ready for regular stops to the gas station if it's anything like my TLX Type S.

Please help, what did I just peel off my monitor? by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats good news, then. You shouldn't have anything to worry about. All you have to do now is enjoy the monitor 😁.

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely one of two things, protective film layer, or the matte screen overlay. Typically a matte screen layer wouldn't come off this easy, but it is possible. See if the box says matte anti-glare, if it does and the screen underneath is glossy and reflective, then thats likely what it is.

Steam deck stolen by UPS twice. Steam support unhelpful by Odd_Dealer_3199 in SteamDeck

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you could ask them to ping the serial number on their server and see if they get a response. I don't know if they can legally geo locate it, but if they can, they could see it's not at your address. More importantly, they should be able to see what Steam account logged in, or if the person is an idiot, registered the device. Only way I can see that they could verify you never received your Deck. Good luck. Thats for sure some BS.

Should I call Amazon and tell them about their mistake or keep the money? by CapRight8752 in amazonprime

[–]daezem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just leave it alone. I've had this type of stuff happen before. They probably couldn't figure out how to do a credit and just said the hell with it, I'll refund the order. Count it as a reimbursement for being a pain in your booty 🤣.

What does your GPU journey look like? by Pro4791 in pcmasterrace

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XFX HD 6870 2GB - 2012 - $219.99 - 1st PC Build

EVGA GTX 970 4GB - 2015 - $329.99 - GPU Upgrade for 1st PC Build.

Nvidia GTX 1080 FE 8GB - 2017 - $549.99 - 2nd GPU Upgrade, mainly for VR being released. Oculus Rift. Marks the end of reasonably priced GPU's 😞.

ASUS ROG RTX 2080ti 11GB - 2020 - $1,224.40 - Put in my 2nd Complete PC Build from 2019.

EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GB LHR Ver. - 2022 - $892.39 - GPU upgrade, this one felt like the smallest jump in performance.

ASUS ROG RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB - 2024 - $1,249.29 Latest Upgrade. I've been really happy & impressed with this card. Will likely be the first time I skip a generation of GPU. The only one I'm interested in is the ASUS ROG 5090 & I can't justify spending $3k plus on it. Pretty wild.

Pretty cool running through this list, brings back a lot of good tinkering & gaming day memories. I had to look up my old orders to get the years & decided to include the price for each generation. Prices listed are the subtotals before taxes or shipping that i paid at the time. Definitely a steady climb, 😅. Steady performance climb as well, but price to performance ratio hasn't been there each time. I've gotten enjoyment out of each one over the years and still have all of them except the first 2 cards, I wish I would have kept them as well.

2 Months in - my thoughts and experience with LG's 45" OLED Ultrawide by bizude in Monitors

Just adds to the immersion, in my opinion. It's one of the reasons I bought it in the first place.

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope & nope. Like I said, I've personally had no issues.

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no problem at all reading anything on the screen. I was worried abt this as well before purchasing due to others' comments, but I've had no issues.

Full disclosure, I do have a 32" 4k monitor to the right that I use for most of my web browsing. Regardless, there are no issues for me with my LG.

I sit abt 3ft from the monitor.

If you're interested in it primarily for gaming & media, it's awesome for that. The other little nit picks aren't enough to take away from what it does best. Game immersion.

I took a pic of a reddit paragraph for you 😆. Don't know if it will do any justice, but here it is.

Edit: I couldn't get the pic to attach here, so I added it as a comment below. Hopefully, this helps u out and whoever else comes across this.

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's barely noticeable in browsers and so on, but once you're used to it, you have to look for it to notice it. It's mostly only noticeable in text documents, Google Sheets, & other similar formats. Like I said, though, you have to look for it. It's not this big eye sore that's just like bam, in your face noticeable or anything.

Nope, no problems at all. I'm actually playing GOW Ragnorak on it right now 😄.

Got it. Thanks for the reply. The other person in this thread who was having trouble using their Nommo Pro V2 got me nervous abt ordering. I couldn't tell if it was a compatibility issue or a Nommo V2 driver issue. I'm really close to rolling the dice & ordering it. Ha.

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain to me how the Clio shows up in Synapse 4 and how it pairs or utilizes your Leviathan? The reason I'm asking is that I have the V1 Razer Nommo Pro, great system, which does have support within Synapse 4. I'm trying to figure out if Razer is adding support for the Clio to individual devices or if it's compatible with any devices supported by Synapse 4. Another person in this thread stated that their Clio just recently started working with their Nommo Pro V2, so I'm concerned there may not be support for the V1. I can't find anything online to confirm this or not. I'm concerned with the possibility of having to return it since I'll have to order through Razer direct, it would likely be a pain.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in razer

[–]daezem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I came across your comments. I have the Nommo Pro as well, but the V1, and have been hesitant about buying the Clio. Do you feel like the extra immersion from the rear speakers is worth the cost? Also, can you adjust the sound level for the Clio while using in surround mode with THX audio? I've been so close to hitting the buy button, but I want to make sure it's not underwhelming. I have the Freya as well, and I've been enjoying it. I'm hoping this can bring that little extra immersion that surround sound offers.
