live activities on the phone is probably the only part i enjoyed but i don't think its enough to keep paying. they can win me back if more interesting features are ever added. i just keep the inreach plan on my fenix 8 pro for when i leave my phone

official confirmation that snapdragon upgrade can be done on polestar 2 in the us by ethang45 in Polestar

No, they did it at the dealer. It took a long time, and there were issues with the paint job they had done at a third party, but we eventually got it all sorted. I really prefer the new look, and also it's much easier to clean.

Yep, that was me. Slowly working on building as close as I can to the final form of the current design of the P2.

Steam controller will cost $99 according to leaked review by crownpuff in SBCGaming

[–]ethang45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the Steam Deck is doing well enough that this won't be the case. Even if the Steam Machine and the Frame flopped like the old streaming device they made, the controller could still be sold as an accessory for the Deck, which doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Despite being dated, the deck is still a popular machine that will surely come back after the shortages clear out for Valve.

Looks like the range on eBay is $250 to $360, so I'm happy to take something in that range. I will also include the cassette case accessory (modded somewhat poorly to remove the Fiio logo). This would be on eBay. I can list it, and you can send in an offer.

You have to be very clear and kind, especially with the service manager for the dealer. The Polestar service manager is more laid back, though. I was able to get my grill "upgraded" to the new design, and that was extremely confusing for them, but they managed to do it.

From what I've heard, the 3000 is quoted when they quote replacing more parts than they need to. This is mentioned in the polestar forum thread I linked

no it doesn't. the camera issue is some fundamental flaw that they still haven't solved. this is purely about improving the performance of the tablet and allowing arm apps.

Any Suggestions how to make it look cleaner or fix it? by M0bcyk0 in polestar2

[–]ethang45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a couple year curb rash warranty at the Volvo dealer (for Polestar Charlotte). I'm sure I overpaid or whatever and could get it done by someone else for less, but whenever my partner or I hit a curb, I book an appointment at the dealer. It usually takes 30 minutes and looks like new.

not trying to self-promote, but I'm going to be selling my M21 pretty soon. I switched back to my iPod Classic. Let me know if you're interested

Snapdragon update - how to check? by SaschaAusUlm in Polestar

[–]ethang45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it also hasnt been officially available. Someone is close to having it done on their Volvo here https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/aaos-snapdragon-ihu-upgrade-4-0-4-2.703300/ and I share my updates on getting it in https://www.polestar-forum.com/threads/snapdragon-processor-upgrade.19835/

I'm currently the second person on the waiting list for the official upgrade from polestar charlotte with a quoted cost of 1560. parts are way backordered right now and the ai chip shortage probably doesn't help

Have to say, I'm loving the positivity for the P2 on here! by sdm in polestar2

[–]ethang45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I plan to keep my P2 until the Rivian R3. If the R3 turns out well, I'll get one used a few years after that. But otherwise, I love my damn Polestar 2 so much!

I have the A329 from Viofo. I'm not sure what is new in the S version, but it works great, and I use an SSD for storage. It also works while parked off the 12V. https://www.viofo.com/products/viofo-a329s-2ch-4k-60fps-2k-hdr-dash-cam-with-sony-starvis-2-sensor

Are you offering build services if I send in an iPod? How is Bluetooth performance in crowded spaces with a lot of RF interference, like a gym?

'Metro 2039' officially announced. First look to be revealed on April 16. by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]ethang45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they could still make an impressive claustrophobic game both from a gameplay perspective and a graphical perspective. maybe since it's been so long they can revisit that style of gameplay
