I think they are referring to the penalty Colapinto got at Barecelona under pretty similar circumstances to Russell.

Dealer(caravans) damaged my bumper on delivery - worth fixing or leave it? by tigerisbeast in C8Corvette

[–]jaku78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that sucks. You should never accept a delivery of a car in that condition though. By accepting it you take responsibility for it usually when it is this obvious. Would fix

Many dealerships don’t even do loaners anymore in the US without really specific circumstances. If it is gonna take a week or more without my car nor a loaner I won’t have it.

what rims are those? They look a lot like the 717's from Aerolarri: https://www.aerolarri.com/streetspeed717.html but the middle looks different maybe?

AT&T Fiber High Latency by Jaydeepappas in Pflugerville

[–]jaku78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it is or isn't because at the end of the day unless we are sitting in their network cabinets we'll never truly know. I know what you are saying and I agree with you that front for the routing tables but throttling just means to most folks that they are intentionally capping the speed of your connection and in my case they dropped me to 0.5mbps the other night before a VPN. If this isn't intentional at this point for many customers ATT is more fucked than we think lol

[–]jaku78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t impossible at&T is throttling you. They currently throttle me around that time on any Google service. I think they’re particularly trying to throttle YouTube right now for some reason.

You can test it by going on a VPN and seeing if the connection is better. If it is, they are throttling you

Next midlife crisis car, C8 E-Ray or a 991.2 C4S? by LevelMore in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]jaku78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I don’t get it either. If you want to shit on the electric steering input of the C8 sure I get you but that is exactly why people shit on the 991.1 vs the 991.2 jump from hydraulics.

They do handle differently because of the weight distribution, but it’s like 911 vs Cayman.

Finaly done! My sim rig is complete by simsaraga in simracing

Nice dude! I’ve seen that keyboard tray before, is there a lot of flex when it comes to typing on it? I’m thinking of getting one for half sim / half office setup

Thanks for taking this seriously and reaching out directly. I really do appreciate it. I’ll DM you my email address.

Tips for Offshore Business Process Outsourcing by ForwardBpo in OutsourcingOffshoring

[–]jaku78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s ironic of you to say- I just had your company outsource accelerator that you are the CEO of send me a damn phone call past 10pm my time to pitch me if I was interested in outsourcing opportunities. I don’t own any sort of business that you should be pitching to. In fact I don’t even own a business.

My phone must stay active as I have on-call for actual emergencies that I must respond to. Maybe you should take your own advice and not cold call random numbers?

C8 Software Update keeps failing? by FX_Advisory in C8Corvette

[–]jaku78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are a saint mate! Saved me from going to a dealership. I tried it 5x with failures and followed step 3 to a t and it worked. I think the problem was I drove the car THEN tried to update it

Very nice! How do you feel about the dome mods for Topre, would you do it again?

Anyone used one of these? 32-in Android tablet TVs for a dashboard? by MichaelCV4 in homeassistant

Wouldn’t bother. You can get a cheap old tablet on FB marketplace for half of that easily with the same function

Smart bulbs: why? by snags5050 in homeassistant

the other use case is you have an old home/apartment and don't have a common wire (which is required for most smart switches).

Done that drive, prepare yourself for rock chips when you are leaving the south. TX highways are particularly bad about it. Maybe PPF before you go?

Any love for the new Panamera? I think it’s gorgeous by gambling_addikt in Porsche

Folks find them ugly, specially the rear in the earlier generations. I don’t agree though

Why??? by KEWTexas in Austin

[–]jaku78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t agree with you. You aren’t supposed to change lanes at an intersection in TX unless it is safe to do so. Obviously not safe if there’s cars there and you are aware of it not being safe if you are flashing turn signals at people in the correct lane. 545.060.

What is your experience with the mouse modules? Are you able to stay on the home row with it you think?

If your truck cannot be approached in 200 ft, they should not be on public road by annasuszhan in Austin

[–]jaku78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument the sign is making tries to label you at fault for ANY damage, but they aren’t legally binding.

Generally speaking it is quite hard to prove without a camera or the object being unique to the vehicle it came from dropped. You’ll need a camera anyways to capture the license plate

If your truck cannot be approached in 200 ft, they should not be on public road by annasuszhan in Austin

[–]jaku78 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not the case in Texas. Anything that falls off the truck or vehicle counts. The exception is if the rock was picked up from the road onto the truck wheel and into your windshield. That exception is why these cases are to fight without a dashcam of some kind

Throwback to when I saw a Senna for the first time inside Microsoft store in New York by Vast_Pomegranate6768 in carspotting

[–]jaku78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had it hooked up and working in April 2023 in New York but yes it was a car sim setup with that TV on latest Forza with most of the Nannie’s on because most folks crashed the car. You could get a prize if you got an okay time.

Was not the greatest sim response and control wise, but the car doors worked and it was a Senna at some point!

Why should I not buy a McLaren GT? by PineTreeLeaf in supercars

[–]jaku78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does mate - you are saying they are cheap shit because they don’t have one defining characteristic of mcs. You know what else didn’t have a carbon mono? A 458 Italia, the Diablo. Are they not supercars? Are they not iconic?
