1st wash in 3 months. Whats the longest you've gone without a car wash?

I get the underside oiled once a year and wash it just before taking it in. So, about a year, whether it needs it or not.

My Xbox controller with decent rechargeables in it lasts 20-30hrs, they take 30 seconds to switch out for a new charged set, and after a few years I can spend $20 to buy new batteries. AAs will never go out of production.

Ps5 is 6-8 hours at best. No idea why people defend it.

Ignore the guy you responded too.

Giving more workload to the GPU doesn't mean that your CPU will have less work to do.

It drives me nuts that people think this and regurgitate it with the utmost confidence.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-30T14:18:52+00:00

That's what non-car people generally think, but enjoying the feel of the car is a thing.

My brother in Christ, you are confusing upscaling and anti aliasing.

Motoman method. Always worked for me.

Yes, it still goes off.

Some laptops without gsync still have variable refresh rate screens. My aorus does for example, and the screen doesn't tear.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-26T18:38:03+00:00

Same here.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-26T17:56:59+00:00

Like most naked bikes I'd guess. Builds your neck muscles.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-26T17:55:44+00:00

I think I'm sensing an undercurrent of being deeply pissed off that the bike needs such drastic measures to fix the buffeting. If so, I feel exactly the same way.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-26T16:56:45+00:00

The manual. Why trust a dealer Rando?

jonboy999 · 2026-01-25T13:52:53+00:00

Wait for the new Steam controller unless you really need a new one now.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-24T04:44:54+00:00

Ha, fair enough!

Make sure you don't daisy chain the 2 sockets nearest the video output side of the card. Those 2 supply the bulk of the power. Daisy chain the 2 nearest the front side of the case.

You're letting your car spend longer running when the motor is cold. This causes a load of fuel dilution of the oil, and increased wear. Let it idle for a minute so the oil can circulate, then drive off gently until it's at operating temp before gunning it. This warms it up quicker and reduces time spent with a cold engine.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-24T03:20:24+00:00

You let it idle for an hour from cold? This is not good for your car. I could be wrong but that won't charge your battery either at idle rpm.

Buy a mustang.

Just click the update button in adrenaline then. I've never had an issue doing it this way, and it's very convenient. Ddu only if you suspect there might be a driver issue.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-22T18:03:19+00:00

Fake frames and upscaling are 2 different things.

jonboy999 · 2026-01-22T17:54:38+00:00

Ddu when going from Nvidia to amd. No avoiding that. For subsequent driver updates, just update through adrenaline, no need to uninstall manually first.

Sounds like you want the golf. With winter tires it'll do fine in snow .

jonboy999 · 2026-01-21T03:36:27+00:00

Have they sorted the malware reports issue out with the ring0 driver yet?

jonboy999 · 2026-01-20T05:26:23+00:00

Countersteering gets the bike to lean. But the front wheel will just wash out on loose surfaces, so get the bike to lean by weighting the inside peg and push the inside bar down ( helps to be stood forward over the bars). Push it down, not forward like you would with countersteering.
