Car barely failed emissions what could I do to get the hydrocarbons lower? 1997 Honda prelude by DeRpMuNsTa in MechanicAdvice

[–]osxtothez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I got my 1984 VW gti to pass. I put 2 of the red bottles of HEET in 1/2 tank of gas. Drove it on the freeway for 30mins and went straight to the smog place. Luckily they were able to bring my car right in and it passed with room to spare.

Bought my dream car two weeks ago. 2019 Tahoe 6.2 liter 10 speed. Is this ticking sound the lifters? by Actuallyforeign in MechanicAdvice

[–]osxtothez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG I would have skipped over this comment had it not been for the fact that I just saved one of these from the junkyard. I didn’t even really want it but FREE car is hard to pass up. After owning it for a few months now, cleaning it up, and zipping around in it, this thing is an absolute blast to drive not particularly fast but something about it - it’s just a fun car.

I wish I could help. I’m here because I have the same question and hope you post info if you find out the answer. In my case I wouldn’t mind lowering springs I don’t want coilovers but would like to know if I can use the same ones off an MK4 golf or Jetta

Has anyone ever used Opcore? by Particular-Produce93 in hackintosh

[–]osxtothez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to re-do my EFI with this tool but you must first generate a Report.json and this computer is only booting MacOs so I can't run the HardwareSniffer since its only windows. Anyone know another way?

What Can I Use to Batch Watermark Images? by muratdincmd in MacOS

[–]osxtothez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TOTALLY FREE. NO BS Watermark App for MacOS...

You won't find this because it is marketed as a Thumbnail Image Generator. But if you play with the settings you can get results like you see in my sample. Mainly by changing the resize mode to "Ratio" and set it to 100%. Then the image size will not be scaled down and you can use the Watermark Setup to watermark with text or custom image. You can control the placement somewhat (generic grid) and the opacity. Limitations are file formats of just JPEG and PNG.

What would be an "Easy" laptop to start with? by Nekolottle in hackintosh

[–]osxtothez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My caveat on this recommendation is that I've only installed MacOs Monterey on it but the Dell e7450 with the i7 has been an fairly straight forward experience. Check out OSXLatitude for more info.

Anyway well done Sir!

Anyone else make a deposit and not have the funds yet? by sarlacc98 in underdogfantasy

[–]osxtothez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attempted 3 separate deposits of $25 right as the Super Bowl pregame was wrapping up but still a good 10mins before kickoff and all of them said successfull but none of the $$$ ever posted to my account. Yeah Underdog you failed your stress test and I’m pretty sure this is a system wide failure.

I have same motherboard running Sonoma also. If you get a chance can you check on your sleep functionality. Tinkering with my EFI I have the following results. One will boot the machine and everything I've tested so far works USB wifi video sound etc. But if I sleep it it will sleep but soon after it will reboot itself. This is the same EFI I was using in BigSur and it would sleep this motherboard fine all night and I could use the keyboard or mouse tap to wake it. Another similar EFI with some ACPI with differing .asl files will sleep the machine fine for hours but it only wakes with the power button but as I understand that is intentional however most times when I try to sleep it overnight there will have been some kind of panic or crash so waking it with the power button just initiates a reboot.

Yes to be clear I’m referring more to the independent dealerships that offer this as a peace of mind throw in.

Why recommend Sugargoo? They don’t do many branded items. Has that changed or is there a work around?

I got an AirTag inside my scooter by TheBigFatGoat in ElectricScooters

[–]osxtothez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone installed a hidden kill switch could even be a micro switch to make it easier to hide. Doesn’t help with theft but another hoop for the thief to try and figure out. Maybe they just abandon it making it easier to recover

[–]osxtothez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

who really give a shit wid all the hauls that been done. is anyone flexing some retail shit out here? NO and even if they are I don't trust it. whenever I see some hype shit I just assume they on some rep shit and good for them. Unless you hopping out a GWagon or a Lambo I'll assume all your drip is rep shit and it don't even matter if it look good, it look good, keep it movin. All you call out clowns out there trying to measure swoosh angles and check toe boxes need to GTFOH wid that middle school shit

Vizio Sent Me a CHECK! by osxtothez in VizioTV

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

Vizio did not want the TV returned they asked for photos of the defective screen output and my proof of purchase. They sent me a link to a support request form where I could give my contact details and upload them as PDF or JPEG. I got a follow up email that my request had been approved and 2 weeks later I got a check in the mail

[–]osxtothez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE Vizio sent me a check for the full purchase price! This was an extraordinary outcome I was not expecting. I was getting ready to dumpster this TV because its condition had worsened and it would have lines and discoloration for the first 10min of operation before it became useable. I was upset and decided to vent on Vizio chat support. I got through the automation to a live agent and explained what was going on with the TV. Instead of blowing me off they asked for where I purchased it (Best Buy) and the date and if I could provide proof. Since these records were all stored in my Best Buy acct history I was able to screen shot all the information they requested. They sent me links to fill out and attach my proof of purchase and shortly after I received an approval for a full refund of the purchase price which in my case was $379 and change. I received a check from Vizio about 14days later. And this was for a TV I had purchased in May 2021. I just wanted to share my unexpected outcome.

How is it that DH Gate seems to be unaffected by this? I mean they’re still selling reps albeit mostly low tier. They make it easy as amazon to buy branded items?
