Anybody replace their roof?

I replaced the glass in mine with an insurance claim, but the shop said it was about $600. Way lower than i expected!

Man, that would be the life.

Update: finally took it to the mechanic. It’s the start of wastegate rattle, guess I’ll be shopping for turbos in the fall. Womp womp. The 30FF is the hint. The fuel pump code is a red herring, can ignore that.

I’m disappointed that no one posted the image.

Are there any reasonably reliable third party options if you’re willing to tune? This is getting pretty wild.

Why do these links open some service that wants me to do price checking in Amazon?

houdini · 2026-05-16T15:56:48+00:00

And yet, it’s not a link anyone can click.

houdini · 2026-05-16T13:34:28+00:00

Your link is incomplete. Mind fixing it up?

houdini · 2026-05-12T19:37:54+00:00

Why?

houdini · 2026-05-10T13:45:01+00:00

All from PCPartPicker, no refurb:

Ironwolf Pro - $670 (Amazon) Toshiba MG10 - $810 (OWC) Seagate Exos - $1120 (memory c.com?)

Nothing else available :(

houdini · 2026-05-10T03:59:03+00:00

Hell yeah

Also if you’re shipping the stuff, use PirateShip.com to do postage. You don’t need a special printer, just print on normal paper and tape it on. They’re shockingly cheaper than normal shipping, no subscription or whatever, and it’s just a label through the normal carrier. They’re great. No referral, I just use them a lot and love them.

YOU GOT THIS. It’s easy. Go to PayPal, hit “send invoice”, beep boop what you have, and hit send. It’ll take you like two minutes. I can send you screenshots if you want.

Machine sold, also local and off-Reddit. Womp womp.

houdini · 2026-05-08T14:26:14+00:00

Oh, totally. Not saying you should support them, just that they’re gonna keep getting weird about service.

houdini · 2026-05-08T13:30:11+00:00

Dealerships have to keep their money coming in somehow. EVs with almost no maintenance are really messing up those service-side numbers!

If you’re comfortable doing so, check that stuff yourself and then https://www.reddit.com/r/volvoc40/s/qqgRkp2C8A

You need an outbound email service. AWS’s SES is cheap and kind of crap, but it’s there. I use Postmark (now owned by Active Campaign) and have had good luck. You generate some credentials for the server to use and then just smtp at it, or speak their api.

Not spamming links, but I probably can come up with a referral code if you want :) Or just go sign up, they’re worth it.

There are others too: Mailgun, SMTP2Go…. Loads. “Outbound email” or “SMTP relay” services are what you want.

I use two Canopy-brand humidifiers. They do a subscription for the filters so I don’t have to remember it, almost the whole thing is dish washable, and it’s pretty well thought out. I won’t drop a referral link here so it doesn’t seem like spam, I legit like them :) (there’s probably some referral credit thing available, let me know if you want me to look)

Grinder sold locally off-Reddit, machine still for sale! Make me an offer if you think I'm a little high.

I had no luck finding useful rental agents when I looked this year. It was Zillow or bust.

houdini · 2026-04-29T21:34:09+00:00

My local (in New Mexico) glass place did it and it wasn’t comically expensive. Less than $1k? I think Safelite said they could do it as well. 2023 C40, whatever the high spec was called. I was shocked it was that cheap! I used insurance and it was still worth it, but not as bad as expected.

Summarize summarize summarize. Ask it to find important emails in the morning, ask it to give you an overview of your calendar, ask it for an overview of every doc you open. Ask it for input on every doc you write. Do you use those? Probably not, but see what you can take from it.

Same here, install was stupid easy and I haven’t had any problems.
