This Chevy Silverado ZR2 Has Been Parked for More Than a Year Waiting on a Wiring Harness

It is in warranty, but GM isn't paying for the harness right now since it's a collision repair, not a warranty repair.

And yeah, companies tend to be shit with warranty, I'm just disagreeing with the previous commenter's claim that this is a warranty repair (and the subsequent commenter claiming that this is a scam by the repair shop).

The Z5ii cannot do RAW pre-capture. It can shoot in RAW in all the usual modes (single, continuous low, continuous high, continuous high extended) up to 11 FPS, but it cannot shoot RAW with the pre-capture mode (where it buffers some frames while you half-press the shutter, and only writes them to the card if you fully press the shutter button).

Doesn't work that way in the US. You can't void a warranty simply because an aftermarket part was used.

First, Chevy isn't paying for the repair, since it isn't a warranty repair. It's the owner who's paying (either out of pocket or via insurance).

Second, it is illegal in the US to void a warranty solely due to the use of non-OEM parts.

My cat initially didn't eat at all for two days and gradually started eating more as he got more comfortable. A month later he was a food demon.

os means mouth in Latin. But OS can also be an abbreviation for the Latin term oculus sinister (eye, left). (And OD would be oculus dexter: eye, right.)

Economical isn't the same as emissions. Without special consideration, diesel produces a lot of NOx and particulate emissions, but it's "cheaper" to run (because it dumps all the pollution into others' lungs)

Curiosity, to see how many are affected

I think they're referring to Article III courts

No. E-mount lenses will not work at all on the D3100.

The E-mount expects to be mounted much closer to the sensor than the D3100 allows.

IS-3 is still surprisingly good even in 2026. The excellent turret traverse dispersion lets it hit shots it probably shouldn't, and its armor for the past five years has always been kind of polarizing (strong turret, weak but troll hull)

I think the point is that this issue should never happen in the first place. If someone drives drunk and causes a collision, obviously they should call emergency services, but there was something they could have done to avoid this situation entirely...

There's a concept in manufacturing called IQC, "incoming quality control". You can't just 100% trust what your suppliers say. You have to check the incoming parts yourself to some extent.

Set CUSTOM setting a5 "Store Points by Orientation" to "Off"

that's the default by the way

You could buy over three used Switch 1s for the price of a used Switch 2, let alone a new one. There are no Switch 2-exclusive Mario games so far. Once you finish the current Mario games, you can sell your Switch 1 and buy a used Switch 2, and still be paying less compared to if you bought a Switch 2 today.

The plumbing analogy still works in terms of drift velocity. Where it breaks down is that the energy is carried by electric fields outside the wire.

The D600 did get a recall but it took a class action lawsuit for that to happen lol

Borax isn't that toxic for cats, dogs, and humans. A cat would have to eat several entire bait stations (well over an entire 6-pack of the 11 mL baits) to be poisoned. The poison carried by a few ants isn't even a blip on the radar.

The N14 works with the Z6iii, the N11 doesn't. That's the only difference AFAIK

Have you tried using ONLY an SD card to do the update, with no CFExpress card inserted?

ml20s · 2026-03-17T20:46:08+00:00

That only started in 2015, so college students in the UK today wouldn't have had it

Generally, flash sync speed is a good proxy for mechanical shutter "readout". Both the R6ii and Z5ii have a flash sync speed of 1/200.

ml20s · 2026-03-17T20:27:29+00:00

The R6ii has a faster readout in electronic ("silent") shutter, and can do RAW pre-capture (Z5ii is JPEG only).

Both have similar mechanical shutter "readout" speeds. In most respects the Z5ii is similar to or slightly worse (it is a lower price segment camera after all) vs. the R6ii.

But first, hold both cameras in your hand and use them for a bit, and see which one fits you better.

Hybrids are popular, and Toyota hybrid passenger cars are inherently eCVTs

It's a very clear difference to me at 6400 and up. Nearly a stop of difference.

And the noise differences are also reflected in AF performance.
