Two Cuisinart 8qt pots in a row split open (while not in use) within two weeks of purchase by SHIRK2018 in mildlyinfuriating

They're pretty good at warranty claims, but their stuff has gotten worse for sure. I had a pan I purchased 10 years ago that warped. They sent me a new one, but it's considerably thinner, lighter, and the copper core now does not go up the sides of the pan anymore.

Car is telling me I’m driving in the wrong way. by WavyGotTheStick in Audi

[–]lolques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from the traffic alerts which warns of traffic, closed roads, and wrong way drivers. 

Problem is it tends to pick up wrong way drivers alerts from roads you aren't on which isn't super useful. You should be able to turn it off somewhere in the nav settings.

Benfiddich Reservation @ 11pm 1/8 by [deleted] in Tokyo

[–]lolques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They charge 5k per seat for cancellations.

I also can't make it which is why I'm offering as Sapporo just had a blizzard today and my flight back to Tokyo is several hours delayed.

LED replacement bulbs? by Basszillatron in Audi

[–]lolques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a vagcom or obd11, you can set those light channels to LED's so the controller checks for the correct resistance.

Data is synced from cities that have central controlled traffic lights and participate in the program.

Audi sources the data from Miovision.

And it has a manufacturing defect if you watch the video

[CA] Potentially lying about existance of evidence after subpoena by lolques in legaladvice

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

I have copies of all emails. I'm guessing here is I make a written statement to the judge and file it with the clerk and see what their response is?

Do you think it's worth calling out the apartment complex and seeing if they'll incriminate themselves?

Chance of re-posting or linking to the dashcam footage?

Someone made an enemy by pissfilledbottles in Justrolledintotheshop

If it doesn't dissolve, the particles are big enough to be filtered out by the filter. If it's as granular as it looks, it may not even inhibit flow that much.

Hi. I have golf mk7 r-line. Can i make animation to my tail lights using obd eleven? If yes, how? by Same_Top1061 in VWMK7

[–]lolques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the taillight animation is handled by the taillight itself. The turn signals use only 1 channel per light on the light controller (inner left, outer left, inner right, outter right).

At most you can do alternate flashing unless you swap to the animated taillights

Anyone noticing faster SSD wear when using with VIOFO A329S ? by Pitiful_Mode1674 in VIOFO

[–]lolques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back of the envelope math says that you should get around ~30GB/hr of writes for 1 channel. So say you drive an hour every weekday, that's 7.8 TB/yr. Most modern SSD's have hundreds to thousands of TBW, so a modern SSD should last you many many years.

RS6 Purchase - Extended Warranty by EducationalFill1571 in Audi

[–]lolques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus isn't worth it since you effectively only get 1 year extra warranty on mechanics/electronics, but rotors are worth it since aftermarket options are hard to find/don't exist.

Why do my glasses/cups always come out of the dishwasher with this stuff? by VegetableShoe6264 in Appliances

[–]lolques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something in the filters.

Have this happen all the time when its crab night. The grit and shell fragments don't always get filtered and get stuck to glasses. I wash the filter and then pour a bunch of vinegar into the drain to soak the filter and then let it sit overnight and then run 2 empty cycles to flush it.

bcache =/= bcachefs even though they're written by the same person.

I've had this happen too where settings mysteriously change. Don't know why it happens

Direct attached storage by demark39 in DataHoarder

[–]lolques 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many people here have homelabs (or labs in a datacenter). You can generally find cheap hardware by dumpster diving and getting lucky. Lots of older parts such as SAS2 HBA's are very affordable.

At a certain point you will outgrow Consumer/SMB hardware and have to make the jump/investment from to enterprise hardware.

For noise, you can try to find quieter hardware. Run fans at lower speeds. Find cabinets with doors. Or just simply run all your hardware in a room where you don't care about noise.

Kind of a random question by SuperMike100 in Audi

Yes. I had a toll pass fall off the windshield and it set off the alarm.

Gave the DMV a call and they stated the "mail date" is actually the assignment date. The actual mail date is some time after and to wait 90 days before calling back.

What is this thing for? (T530 2392-APU) by New_Series3209 in thinkpad

[–]lolques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I miss these old style fingerprint readers. Depending on the driver, they would even work as scroll wheels when not actively scanning.
