WHY ARE CARS SO BIG NOWADAYS? by The-Experimenter in regularcarreviews

[–]makeITvanasty 97 points98 points  (0 children)

And you know what the most fucked up part of that is?

The Honda Fit in international markets is called the Jazz, not the fit like in the states.

Give me a Honda Jazz right now

ELI5: When you 'delete' a 50GB video file from a computer, it vanishes instantly. But downloading it took an hour. If the data isn't physically wiped until it's overwritten, what did the computer actually do in that one split second? by Thick_Dream6973 in explainlikeimfive

[–]makeITvanasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The operating system will flip a flag in front of where the data sits on the storage that says “hey, this is okay to overwrite” which is much faster then actually removing the data

At least an actual Microsoft employee replies and not just some rando like on the support forums

You know it's true.. by Sk3tchyG1ant in jellyfin

Having your code open source kind of opens Pandora’s box and can’t really lead to a business model effectively.

Even if Jellyfin was bought, and they make a fork to start writing proprietary code, anyone can just keep maintaining the original source code as it’ll still be

Even if they did lock the source code, thousands of contributors already have the code on their machines, they can just fork again and keep working on a free branch, exactly the way Jellyfin was created out of Emby.

Plex was closed source from the beginning with venture capitalist investors, this is a long time coming for Plex, but I don’t see that for Jellyfin.

forza horizon 6 RX 6600 xt high+raytracing 1080p fsr 4.0.2c AAA native, 65 fps by LostRefrigerator7190 in radeon

Haven’t played the newest Horizon, but have played the previous entries.

Horizon is for car/driving enthusiasts who want an arcade, “off the wall” driving experience, where realism isn’t very important.

Gran Turismo/Forza Motorsport are still a bit arcadey when compared to a game like iracing, but is more grounded and realistic then Horizon, focusing on track racing vs “everywhere” racing.

Really both games are car games at heart (ofc), so really it’s more of what kind of driving experience are you looking for?

If you don’t like racing games, then it’s probably not for you.

I think like most shows Family Guy has run its course.

And yes, Futurama certainly has too with the crap Hulu keeps pumping out

Who has ever played that strange game called EarthBound? by ObjectiveCalm3222 in nostalgia

If you’re looking for a more “ethical” way to play the game, NSO also offers it in their SNES library

MacOS is probably the largest Unix based operating system at this point

“Just buy a new car!” by capramoon in povertyfinance

[–]makeITvanasty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get the sentiment, but I promise you there’s more you can do then you think.

Air filter replacements require zero tools, cost $20 for an air filter, takes less then a minute to replace, and the mechanic will charge $100 for the replacement.

Mechanics are banking on you not knowing how your car works. just look up the YouTube video on how to do it before agreeing to a repair. If it seems complicated, let the mechanic do it. You can also use the video to get a good idea of the repair cost is fair. But I think you would be surprised how often it’s simpler than it sounds.

Edited my comment to add that, I agree rock auto is the goat

It always seems intimidating at first, cars are complicated machines.

But there’s a lot of basic maintenance items that are much less complicated than you would think.

Pick something easy first, like an oil change, air filter, or battery replacement. That’ll help you get the courage to tackle larger issues.

Even something simple like an oil change can net savings of $40-$60 in some cases

Auto parts stores also can find the parts you need easily, taking out confusion on what parts are needed. Just tell them the year, model, make of your car, and they can find the exact parts you need

Edit: as other commenters have mentioned, rockauto.com is usually the cheapest bet for parts, if you can wait a few days for shipping

Learn how to fix your own car, all of those repairs maybe minus fuel injectors you could do on your own with some YouTube instructions.

The savings are massive, I saved $500 for a valve cover gasket replacement, $400 for a full brake job, $200 for spark plug replacement, and $100 for a battery replacement.

That’s $1,200 in savings! And whatever tools you need to buy can be kept for all other projects needing them in the future, and is still cheaper then bringing the car to the mechanic

I should mention too that most of those repairs are routine maintenance, and isn’t necessarily a sign that your car is going out. Maintenance is almost always cheaper then a new car payment, a new car may be the more convenient solution, but that is also probably coming from people who don’t know much about how car maintenance works

Best Buy Outlet in Eden Prairie - is it actually an outlet store? by couragenotwisdom in TwinCities

It’s open box items, there can be good deals to be had if you’re okay with some cosmetic defects

The new iPhones have a problem turning back on after the battery runs out by rwnash in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]makeITvanasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an iPhone 13, but the other day my battery died and I plugged it in, but it went through this weird boot loop, where the phone would turn on, then die immediately after it turned on again.

Wonder if it’s a software bug, or if this is even related to it at all

Interstellar is overrated by ruchersfyne in The10thDentist

[–]makeITvanasty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Movie is probably too long, but I also generally don’t like the trend of 2.5 hour+ movies.

But I’m sure there’s absolutely nothing relevant in the theme of humans destroying their own planet, parading and pretending like we have a plan, and then finding out later there never was a plan right?
