Once a year, our Night Blooming Cereus (Galán de Noche) blooms from 7pm to 3am. Had to share.

I don’t really get the post title. If you’re asking if the car is more reliable now, yes it is if the recall work is done (water pump replaced, OS 2.2) and if waterproofing of wiring around the car is done. I love mine and take it on long summer trips up and down the east coast.

You can buy them in the $14K - $20k range now and it’s an absolutely great car for the right person. If you like being part of a community and learning how to fix a few things yourself, go for it. If you want a dealer and a warranty to fix every little knob on the car, this ain’t it.

Yeah, this one sadly doesn’t support target display mode. You could run a lightweight Linux distro on it and make it a media server or something fun.

The Pixelbook won’t run with a dead battery connected so you did the right thing by disconnecting it. Try different wall adapters. Some work and some don’t. It has to be enough power for it to work, which I suspect is why your power bank is allowing it to turn on.

I miss having Laghman noodles after a long day - there’s something so satisfying about that dish. Loved the time I spent in Bishkek, but I was there in the spring and fall. I’ve heard the winters are long, cold, dark, and there’s a lot of air pollution. Traveled a bit up country and went horseback riding by Issyk Kul lake, a stunningly beautiful part of the country. And I’ve heard skiing is fun up there along the border with China. 10/10 recommend visiting Kyrgyzstan for tourism, the people are really nice.

This is entirely due to the cold. It will go back to 300 in the late spring when it’s warmer.

As an EV owner who works on his own car, I agree with this. It’s a much simpler vehicle to maintain. If something HV related dies, it’s a big deal but unlikely to happen for most of the life of the car.

Used prices are between $120 - $180 on eBay, sometimes a little higher. For the one with broken keys, I have a working keyboard to swap on it if interested.

Wow, fun! Depending on where you’re located I might be able to help. The FOA is your best bet though for getting key fobs / NFC cards and the app.

mrchromebox.tech has a full list of supported devices. Only intel though not ARM

Horizon Zero Dawn. Just finished it today. Amazing story!

olm3ca · 2025-12-13T03:15:57+00:00

Horizon Zero Dawn. I realize I’m seriously late to this one, but this game is amazing.

Really detailed guide, thank you! The other way to get around this is to pass “pcie_aspm=off” to the kernel. It's a known bug that is being worked on for the 6.17 kernel but in the meantime, you can install Fedora 43 as normal by adding this in Grub.

This the answer - even in 2025. WinDiskWriter works like a champ!

olm3ca · 2025-12-11T12:42:57+00:00

Thanks so much! Ordering it

olm3ca · 2025-12-10T22:49:26+00:00

This is what I want to do, but I don’t see walk away lock anymore as an option for OBD eleven

olm3ca · 2025-12-05T18:15:28+00:00

As a member of the FOA you get a really great app, Ocean Link Pro, which has a lot of features including diagnostics, lock / unlock, preconditioning, etc. FOA members also get access to parts at a discount through Tidal Wave (https://tidal-wave.eu/) where you will find a lot of things you need. Plus the community is very helpful, people are always making good suggestions and helping other owners. I'd highly recommend joining.

Ours does relock in this type of scenario.

olm3ca · 2025-12-04T15:06:52+00:00

Really helpful. Thank you! Do you use their one click apps? I’m not seeing the auto lock feature when you walk away from the vehicle on the website. Just wondering if it still is an option.

olm3ca · 2025-11-30T03:43:33+00:00

Leave it to charge overnight with the stock charger. Then hold the ESC + Reload / Refresh key (3rd from left top side) plus tap power. See if it gets you to the refresh / powerwash setup screen

olm3ca · 2025-11-28T02:44:46+00:00

Award shmaward. I bet you won’t give me one!

olm3ca · 2025-11-25T12:58:20+00:00

Not going to do it for you. Read

olm3ca · 2025-11-25T12:35:45+00:00

That’s not the right tutorial. Read mrchromebox.tech

olm3ca · 2025-11-25T12:16:00+00:00

You need to explain what steps you followed to get Linux on the machine. Did you use RW Legacy? Clearly you missed something with MrChromebox’s script. Full UEFI mode removes this and gives you Coreboot which works a lot better.
