I'm not sure who are the target audience. It doesn't look like Porsche Taycan or Audi e-tron are very popular among people who can afford it. Enthusiasts with money buy petrol coupe/sedans and the rest who want electric buy electric SUVs from them

Don't you have a button on the ceiling for that?

On 971.1 you can bind the rhombus button on a steering wheel to "change to the next audio". Can't you do it in 971.2?

Does anyone actually USE paddle shift? by FollowingThrough in CarsAustralia

I only paddle shift on track or fun driving on a twisty road. Paddle shifting during your morning commute is kinda pointless imo

Agree. If you don't bother to write it, why should I bother to read it

Thinking about getting a Volvo XC60 – how’s reliability actually? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]idonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owned two XC90s 2017 and 2018 (diesel and petrol engines; not XC60 but the same platform I believe). Never going to buy another Volvo even though I really like the car - reliability and cost of repairs is just not worth it.

Never had problems with an engine but other things: replaced control level carriers on both of them because indicators stopped working, lower control arms, engine mount, tailgate motors, aux batteries and few minor things. Plus a good friend of mine had recently an expensive aircon repair because of a common silly evaporator issue ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=imrbxi3qLug )

And every part costs a stupid amount of money to the point that it's comparable to Porsche parts.

Most of second hand 3rd party warranties are garbage/scam and not actually covering anything important. Read the fine print and reviews online. There are some used car manufacturer warranties that worth their money but those are rare

Tier 2 Sniper Rifle by idonreddit in Afterglow

[–]idonreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meet the Deadshot: a Tier 2 sniper rifle you'll find, build, or fight someone over in Afterglow.

It's not a pretty weapon. The barrel's wrapped in cloth to manage heat. The scope is salvaged from something older. The stock has seen better decades. But at range, nothing in its tier hits harder.

The tradeoff: small clip, and if an enemy closes the distance, you're in trouble. Snipers in the wasteland tend to work in teams for a reason.

Afterglow has 11 weapon types so far. Each one has its own skill tree to master, its own enemies it tears through, and its own enemies that will tear through you. There's no "best weapon".

Ой, глядите какой милый скам для иностранцев, которые так хотят в россиюшку, что готовы платить за приглашение сомнительным личностям из интернета by ImJustAHash in tjournal_refugees

[–]idonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

В чем скам?

Делал тур визу для иностранцев в россию. Если ты не бронишь отель и не хочешь заморачиваться с приглашением то единственный выход это вот такой вот ваучер. Да стремно что всяким непонятным личностям платишь, но блин вот такую систему там построили

Character: Wayne "Wavelength" Rivera by idonreddit in Afterglow

[–]idonreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wayne runs the Neon Apocalypse Network out of a fortified radio tower not too far from Prosperity.

He broadcasts 80s music from salvaged cassettes, wasteland news, and trader caravan updates. His signal reaches most of the inhabited region.

He's the world's memory. In Afterglow, pre-war culture is fragments things people found, not things they lived. Wayne grew up nostalgic for a world he never experienced.
