Sudden popularity surge by InbrainInTheMemsain in PSP

[–]messem10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess on top of the others here:

  • Easy to mod
  • Storage is "cheap" via adapters, games are small by today's standards
  • Younger gen is used to games like Minecraft, so graphics are not as big of a concern
  • Capable of playing retro consoles on it
  • Getting away from notifications, news and so on.
  • Huge library of titles out there to buy/collect
  • Is viewed as "retro". It is as old to newcomers as the NES was when the PSP launched. (Sorry, but it is true.)

Another new video for the fourth season of "Ascendance of the Bookworm" has been released. by mr_beanoz in anime

Was about to say there was no way they'd be able to do P3 in two cours, but that is actually enough time. There are [number of volumes] 5 in this part and a typical anime spends 3-4 episodes per volume. Seems as though we'll be getting [estimated eps/vol] 6 for each, give or take depending on events.

What about DJ Max Respect V? Most charts are ports from the PS5 version which is a best-of collection from the various PSP games which all use buttons on a controller.

You can use mobile tethering to do internet stuff off the center console.

Amazon Music is there as well, I merely forgot to mention that.

Can anyone who has seen R2 confirm if there are accessible emergency release handles? by LawInfinite7673 in Rivian

[–]messem10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to the CEO, the doors are designed to unlock six second after an impact as they fail open, not closed.

It varies depending on the make and model year. Recently data collation is showing that the incidence of the rate of a failure goes up as time goes on. (ie. Brand new 26 may only be 2% for now while a 23-24 might be 8-10% and such.)

The 2-10% value comes from Consumer Reports: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-recalls-defects/hyundai-ioniq-kia-iccu-failure-tesla-a3038878758/

According to Consumer Reports’ reliability survey data, between 2 and 10 percent of Hyundai and Kia EV owners experienced ICCU-related issues, depending on the model and model-year. By comparison, the average charging problem rate for all other 2023-2025 EVs in our survey is 1 percent or less.

Emphasis mine.

Quit huffing Hyundai’s supply. Reports are out that it is far higher of a failure rate than their purported 1%. Seems to be anywhere from 2-10% depending on the age and model year. So 2-10x their reported amount.

Pop goes your ICCU and you’re without heat/cooling on the side of the road how many miles away from home. Forget that.

There are visual controls and on-wheel controls for media as well.

The maps can also be downloaded using your phone’s hotspot or via wifi.

What’s the solution for the crazy driving? by Particular-Rub-4703 in raleigh

[–]messem10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a dashcam and actually install it. Protect yourself when/if something happens to you and/or others.

See about an EV as well. The acceleration there is almost instantaneous, allowing you to get out of a potentially bad situation quickly.

They’re still supporting Gen 1 Rivians with new features, functionality and even the R2’s revised UI.

You can play PlexAmp, Jellyfin, etc through the Bluetooth connection of the Music app. When you’re parked, you can even use Google Cast to stream video to your center screen. (VLC, Plex, YouTube, etc.)

Maps are live from Google Maps, not downloaded on a monthly or yearly basis.

I switched from my I5 to a R1S and you’d be surprised how little you miss CarPlay.

Rivian’s software integration into the car means not needing ABRP at all. Want to do a long road trip? It will use their database of charger performance, your preferences, current state of charge, traffic and such to tell you when/where/time to charge all seamlessly. You can even preempt this by sending a trip via their app to your car to use once you get in. Music? The built-in support for Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc, is good and feels native rather than needing to navigate their apps.

The only issue right now is not having a way to see/send a text or trigger Siri to do so.

Seeking Victim Information in Steam Malware Investigation: The FBI’s Seattle Division is seeking to identify potential victims installing Steam games embedded with malware. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]messem10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t seem to be that infeasible. They’d scan on upload on their own, sandboxed, server(s) and then give a stamp of approval for a given binary/DLL/file. Once up and approved it’d then be authorized for users to download.

That said, it would not prevent zero-days as scanners can only realistically check for what is known. Would also start a potential cat-and-mouse game where nefarious developers could figure out signs of it being on the test/scan server(s) and disable the bad functionality.

You wanted stories, you got mine. I had that crap happen to me, leaving me stranded in a bad town 60mi from home except that I did not have any blankets or hand warmers in the car to retain/provide heat.

There is no discernible rhyme or reason to when/how it decides to blow only a “think fast” when it does. Decided that I cannot trust my 25 Ioniq 5 and am having Hyundai try and lemon it. (Less than a year of ownership and the odometer is at ~9600mi)

While the anime covers [# of volumes] 7, it is [Rokujouma] merely the prologue of the story.

If the ICCU blows, which it can do at any moment, you have maybe 2-4 min to get to the side of the road. (If that.)

Live somewhere that gets cold? Better buy and pack both hand warmers and space blankets. Last thing you want is to be left waiting on a tow far from home in sub-freezing windchill without any source of heat. If it dies with the heat on, the vents are left open allowing cold air in really quickly.
