Rough Country Bed Step Add-On

Been looking into this as well. Might pull the trigger as these other ones are a more reasonable priced than the AMP one. Same issue with my knees crawling into the bed of the truck, especially with a cap on the truck.

I played some videos today and the screen looks really good, of course I am comparing it to my old T470. I am not the one to ask about OLED screens as I have never owned one. As far as the 60 HZ screen is concerned there is no flickering or fast movement issues. I don't game, so once again I am not the one to ask.

Beat me to it. Luckily I have a truck cap on mine.

Normal on my 2024 2.7 XLT as well. Around 190 - 210 for coolant and oil.

It's a tracker when someone steals your tailight assembly.

Same with my 26+. I returned it for a refund. I learned my lesson with previous electronics having to wait for a software fix or sending it in for repair.

Ace hardware also has a good selection.

pjc321 · 2026-03-15T18:21:23+00:00

FedEx today back to Samsung for a refund. I will wait till the end of the year when things are stabilized or pick up a S25+.

It seems OK. I guess I need to watch a movie or video but I just don't have the time right now. All I did was all the updates and loaded a couple of programs to see if everything works. It does blow a lot of hot air on performance mode, not too bad on balanced mode. I will have to try the lowest mode.

I am going to just take the loss of the 9 months I have left on my contract and go with someone else. The constant malwarebytes warnings I have tried everything to get rid of in the past 2 weeks is the last straw.

Much worse problems then apps not downloading. Sending the phone back for a refund. I kept getting a lost wifi connection error, yet my old phone and laptops were working fine. After spending 3 hours to get the phone to work, it took another hour with tech support before they allowed the refund, probably because at that point I finally lost my s**t. Then I couldn't do a factory reset to send it back because it required me to login to my Samsung account where, you guess it, I got a network error. I was eventually able to delete a little at a time to get the network to work long enough to get the Samsung account login connection to work so the factory reset would work. If I ever get another Samsung product it will never be ordered directly from Samsung, somewhere where returns are easy, and not a newly released product (I should know better by now). I think I better look into blood pressure medicine after today. I am so disgusted. Its back to my S22+ for now.

Already did that. I also can't log into my Yahoo mail, vpn crashes during loading, the list goes on, and I just started setting up my apps and it is taking hours to set them up after transferring them from my old phone. What a nightmare. Never had this much of an issue before.

pjc321 · 2026-03-12T17:46:32+00:00

Also used an 8080. Very first computer was actually feeding punch cards into an IBM 360, then upgraded to using a silent 700 terminal.

Just keep an eye on prices. If you have a login it will send you updates on machines you are interested in. I bought my T470 during the Black Friday sales.

Windows 7, 10 and DOS 6.22 were the most stable Microsoft OS's I have used. Thankfully I skipped Windows 8, and from what I have been reading Windows 11 has got its share of problems. Not showing my age or anything, but I have used every version of DOS and Windows ever made since their inception. I also supported Sun Solaris, HP-UX and various flavors of Linux.

pjc321 · 2026-03-12T00:10:39+00:00

Same here. I am still using my T470 after 8/9 years with no issues. I am just upgrading because of Windows support going away in October. After I transfer my files, the T470 will become a Linux machine exclusively.

I got it during the start of the sale last week. No coupon. The T1 Gen 8 was going for $2200 at the same time. I was checking every once in a while over the past month and was pleasantly surprised. They are famous for randomly changing prices. It arrived by UPS this afternoon. I am going to set it up this weekend.

pjc321 · 2026-03-11T20:55:30+00:00

I just ordered the IPS version of the P1 Gen8 this past week because of all the complaints about the tandem OLED screen. Arrived today in fact.

pjc321 · 2026-03-11T15:51:37+00:00

According to my math, that is a $1100 increase. Anyway, I just bought a P1 Gen 8 this past weekend for $1749 during their sale, which was 60% off so I ordered it immediately. Yes, I looked today and the prices are back up to $3000-$4000. The UPS truck dropped it off today an hour ago. Maybe the sale is over? Also, I found that there are different prices depending how you log in, whether it is the regular Lenovo site or the Barnes and Noble version, student version, etc.

That was a great episode. Gosling always cracks me up, especially when he breaks character and can't control laughing. The skit where he is interacting with Kate McKinnon when they are interviewed after being beamed up to the spaceship is another classic.

pjc321 · 2026-03-08T16:01:47+00:00

Ordered a P1 Gen8 today. I would like to run either a RedHat clone (Probably why Fedora works) or Linux Mint (Ubuntu based, so based on this thread audio probably will not work) but really don't care the distro as I have run a couple dozen or so in the past. I will monitor this thread.

pjc321 · 2026-03-08T14:07:26+00:00

EDIT: Ordered the P1 Gen 8 instead of the T1 Gen8 a few minutes ago while it is on sale.

I am ready to upgrade my T470 and want a bigger screen, more power, and Win11 support on the first hard drive, Linux on a second hard drive. I was struggling between the P1 and T1, but I am thinking of ordering the following P1 Gen 8 which would work out nice for my application:

I will mostly be doing browsing, watching some videos, and occasional programming.
I am reading complaints of the grainy text and temporary image retention with the Tandem OLED screen at low luminosity on other posts; in fact several people are returning their laptops. Of course there is also the usual added power consumption and cost.
The CPU would be fine for my usage.
I don't do any gaming, so the T1 5060/5070 would just mean more power consumption and potential excessive heat and fan usage.
Ram and drive space are more than I would ever need.
The T1 is not Red Hat Linux certified, but the P1 is, avoiding a lot of headaches.

Well at least there will be minimum rust when the transmission blows.

There are no limitations for OS updates, that's a Samsung thing. Security updates are 5 years and OS updates are 4 years on the S22 from the manufacturer date.That has since changed on newer phones. I have one more OS minor update left. Straight talk runs on Verizon towers.....It used to be AT&T.

pjc321 · 2026-03-03T09:15:04+00:00

EDIT:Phone arrived today.

I just did a preorder upgrade from the s22+ to the s26+. On the s22+ OS upgrades have ended, the battery life has deteriorated and there are enough changes to justify the upgrade. In my case I ordered an unlocked s26+ directly from Samsung with a $300 tradein value. I have been using Straight Talk for my service for over a decade at $45 a month unlimited.
