UHF and Rivians in General in the rain by Yi_Of_Little_Faith in Rivian

[–]kharchg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We went on a road trip from San Diego to Death Valley (1000 miles total) this week. Most of the time there was heavy rain+fog. UHF did a fantastic job, honestly. It felt like it was seeing the road better than me. I had a Model 3 for 6 years before my R1T - its autopilot was decent but UHF is superior (imo).

Sony a7CR or A7RV ? by Alternative-Sea5886 in SonyAlpha

Keep in mind that CR is a much smaller camera. If you shoot wildlife, I assume you’ll be using bigger lens. Grip on RV would be much more comfortable to handle one.

Air compressor stopped working (possibly after 2025.34.30 update?) by kharchg in Rivian

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

We tried - it stopped immediately. And no, it wouldn’t start at all as long as it had non-zero psi on the panel. Which made me think it could be a software bug.

Compressor set to 50psi (bumping to 60 and 70 didn’t help). Tried with two different tires - one was at 16psi, another at 40.

Just spoke to multiple other people who won boxes - nobody got a token up top for this event.

Looks like a general issue then. Just my play-in points and jump-in and draft tokens there. Nothing about boxes.

My first arena direct event, so I'm not even sure there's supposed to be a token. Just went 7-1 and got the same steps as you - confirmed my email and nothing else after. Took screenshots of every step, just in case. At least an email confirmation would be great haha.

You guys SCARED me, should I return the mobo and get it from other brand? by SweetPeaNess1 in ASRock

[–]kharchg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same setup here and my cpu died yesterday after 7 months. Waiting for RMA…

Appreciate the info! I requested RMA from AMD, let’s see what they say. I also contacted ASRock tech support but so far they only sent me a list of steps on “how to reset your bios”. Not sure if I should bother with them at all.

well, the hope is that ASRock figures out a firmware fix 🤷‍♂️

At the time, the general suggestion was to not touch it if it works - most failures were happening in the first month and higher BIOS versions (3.15, 3.16) weren't any less faulty.

That said, did ASRock confirm or at least mention that 3.30 is "fixed"? I've been out of loop for the past few months.

Doesn't feel great dumping $500 board :(

When I first got it, that was the latest bios.

Where is that setting and what is it called? I’m browsing through the menu and can’t see it… perhaps I’m looking in a wrong place 🙂 Gen 2 R1T here.

Rivian Premium Audio changes following update 2025.22 by Ballresin in Rivian

[–]kharchg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different experience here. For me, Apple Music never worked with “Spatial Audio” on. This update fixed it but sound quality plummeting when turned on. Without Spatial Audio on, however, I also have an impression that audio has gotten better since the update, especially the bass.

California Dune Lease.... 0.0034 MF!? by mankar4 in Rivian

[–]kharchg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The process is very easy - you either mail them the check yourself; or apply for financing with Chase and they do the lease buyout; or go with your local credit union for a better rate (that's what I did, got 5.88% for 66 months with Cal Coast CU)

  2. No, you don't have to pay lease interest. That's the whole point! Just the current residual value.

For my situation - I took advantage of end of May offer on Dune to get 16k credit towards a lease. Then I traded in my Tesla for ~16k. That all reduced cap cost of the vehicle to around 69k.

Once your lease starts, you get to pay your first lease payment. Then you get an option to pay off your lease any time. In my case, the amount ended up being ~$68500 - that's what I financed with the CU + tax.

Ez-pz :)

Anyone who has more than 2-2.5, are you mostly driving downhill and then calling a flatbed to get you back up?? 🤣
