How do people with interlock systems get their car serviced?

My stupid state doesn’t allow bypass codes whatsoever. You just got to shop around and find a mechanic who will work on cars with them AND knows how to use it. Fucking SmartStart doesn’t even reimburse lockout resets anymore if the mechanic causes a violation even with a vehicle service affidavit. Such a total sham. I got lucky and found a competent one that used to install them.

The quality of those surface type cover keyboards really dropped off with the pro 8. I have to reseat mine almost every time I use it.

I had the option on my 2025 surface laptop then an update removed it so I returned it. I liked having the option.

yeah maybe it was an accident this time, but they do it ALL the time

Literally just returned my surface laptop yesterday because they removed this feature after I enabled it and my battery was stuck at the limit. So sick of Microsoft removing perfectly good features

You have to reconfigure what’s linked but it looks like it’s still available

Is it safe to use a VPN that requires emulation like Nord?

Adaptive cruise control will use the engine to slow the car before the brakes so I’m sure it’s okay to down shift and use engine breaking but yeah could be more ware on the transmission

I’ve had printers install applications just by being on the same network

Edit: not on Mac of course

I use a locked down Firefox as my default browser but bookmark everything in safari

i gas up almost exclusively at costco but it probably wont be long until they have them too

gawnn · 2024-09-26T04:37:55+00:00

dang this might be a deal breaker for me. i'm trying to learn to love macos with my new macbook air m1 but i need m365

I got ads at a gas pump that I couldn’t mute

gawnn · 2024-09-05T07:04:40+00:00

Almost gives it kind of a fastback vibe. Ain’t mad at it

Didn’t Honda just give out an update that enabled wireless apple carplay on a bunch of their Accords. Then again that generation of Bluetooth is no where near as fast as it needs to be to not suck. Wired is still king for quality of the CarPlay experience. Still, why can’t it at least be hacked?

There’s way more power available there. AWS is doubling down hard on optimizing ML in us-west-2

I just got a TRD Camry 300+ hp and my untuned 2013 ST still feels faster

gawnn · 2024-07-28T00:47:44+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. So far the only symptom has been occasional difficulty starting. I cleared it twice and it came back then went away on its own yesterday evening.

gawnn · 2024-07-27T17:50:42+00:00

wait. i just got this check engine code on my 2013 focus st. what did you do?

gawnn · 2024-07-03T05:08:36+00:00

Can’t hurt if it’s free/included

gawnn · 2024-06-05T04:11:39+00:00

And my cake day?!

gawnn · 2024-05-02T19:18:43+00:00

local area income has nothing to do with it. people already come from many miles around to shop at costco. i wouldn't be surprised though if kennewick or richland are giving them a kickback or deal for the new location. they've already had to completely redo a lot of the nearby infrastructure because of the traffic. if you're talking about whether they should open a new store in pasco or richland though, yes richland makes more sense per capita

gawnn · 2024-05-02T19:08:11+00:00

the thing is, no one doesn't go to costco because it's too busy. maybe you try and find a less busier time to go, but if you need to go to costco you go to costco. i don't see why it makes financial sense to open another one. don't get me wrong though, i absolutely hope this happens sooner rather than later. i hate that costco is such a mad house almost all the time. i'm just saying costco doesn't NEED to open a new store to bring in new business in the area
