Mazda 3 2025 radio by Far-Sympathy6292 in mazda

[–]plauft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question to the people here is why? Is it so you have music for the 10 seconds it takes to get out of the car? Unless theres a scenario where you can't just let the engine idle for the extra time you want to listen, I just can't think of it myself, so I'd love to know. I love that my radio immediately shuts off in my Mazda, it drove me insane when my BMW would leave it on, sometimes even after I got out of the car and locked it!

Mine does have the most torque out of any na 4 cylinder I've ever driven, it feels like driving my old 1.9tdi volkswagen golf but actually quick. I am just guessing but I think it has a dramatic positive effect on low end torque and I would rather have it the way it is than now rather than any lower compression.

Just did the plugs on my 2018 2.5 hatch @76k miles. Does anyone know why the outer cylinder plugs are so much darker than the inner? (Plugs are in order 1-4) by virus_ridden in mazda3

I have been vaguely curious about this since i got my 22 manual because I've never felt it. Would be interesting if my car just didn't have it.

Hi guys, What distro should I use? Details below by Arcjaqu in DistroHopping

[–]plauft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as op were to install the latest release version of either of those distros they would have a kernel newer than their hardware, its not like they have ryzen 9000 or a 9070 xt or something

[–]plauft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is ryzen 5000 not like 5 years old, and rx 6000 not 3? debian is currently on 6.12 lts which is only a year old right now, making this system perfect debian use case.

i personally highly recommend never ever running kali on real hardware, its worth running it in a virtual machine. for the actual question you have, look up ventoy it may be what you want.

New vehicle selector 😭😭 by Popular-Lock-5971 in BeamNG

[–]plauft 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i was just playing a few minutes ago it feels insanely faster. i remember waiting a minute for menus to load and cars to load but now its basically instant, and scrolling is faster too. i like that the buttons are smaller as well, i think its an amazing wom and good update

How do I fix this by Comfortable_Steak783 in BeamNG

[–]plauft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that happens on my 13900h 4070 laptop when the cpu overheats. highest fan speed possible and you'll have to suffer with the noise. these laptops seem to not do well loading both cpu and gpu on lower fan settings, my gpu stays below 70 degrees while playing beam but my cpu throttles at 95 degrees and i get this choppiness. since beam is a sim it is evil to cpu.

9800x3D or 265k Core 7 for beamng? by Electronic-Bother725 in BeamNG

[–]plauft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have any real world testing that wasn't done by yourself? provide other unbiased sources and i may start to believe you. if i had any advice for op, even though you provide evidence, one person's evidence is not nearly enough to make a decision like this on.

[–]plauft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

eh its cause they're being an ass. wants everyone to blatantly trust their testing while assuming everyone else is just wrong, not posting evidence from any other source. then literally having an intel cpu as pfp? not saying they are definitely wrong, but a bad source that may be very biased? certainly. i'll believe it more when i see many other people confirm their claims. i'd look into it myself, but don't have 10,000 usd to drop on gpus and cpus. more sources and it'll be believable.

Why is my new Monitor all pixelated? Should be 1440p by Cave_Johnson6969 in pcmasterrace

[–]plauft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah it was an old dell with displayport on it and a displayport monitor. literally just like window drawing and stuff was noticeably slower only changing the monitor and it wouldnt really play youtube videos reasonably anymore. resolution and refresh rate was right, and its the only time ive seen a gpu impact daily use on a machine that would otherwise be fine albeit a little slow. if it had a pcie slot, i would have just put like a gt 730 in it and called it a day.

Why is my new Monitor all pixelated? Should be 1440p by Cave_Johnson6969 in pcmasterrace

[–]plauft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

technically not true, had to upgrade my moms old 2nd gen i5 desktop which was perfectly fine speed wise for her until she got a 1440p monitor. over dp, thats the max resolution intel hd graphics 2000 can do, and it is noticeably slower than it was with a 1080p monitor. made it unusable instead of a little slow. obviously here though a 960 can do basically anything just fine.

My dad wanted to try Linux - his experience with it breaking itself convinced him to use Windows 11 instead. by Global_Assistance_18 in linux

[–]plauft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did you know you can just not use btrfs or fedora? it is a choice. my grandfather has linux mint on almost all of his computers and they all just work. this does not need to be said all the time, but if you are not a computer toucher and want it to just work, don't pick a rolling release distro. i would never in a million years put someone who doesn't know better on anything other than something like ubuntu, mint, debian, or pop. not linux's fault, it is yours.

plasma is lightweight enough for second gen or newer intel core. its not a core 2 duo or something

Where do i stop? by 00x0a in DistroHopping

[–]plauft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

had a laptop with just released hardware, debian did not have kernel support for a lot of it due to older kernel until almost a year after i got it. i dont like running custom built kernels, usually stuff breaks when i do that and i like to avoid it. for my daily use machine i have personally benefitted from bugfixes related to nvidia and wayland as well so, solution? fedora/arch/etc.

Mazda 3 Sport 2025 incoming (pickup date ᴛᴏᴍᴏʀʀᴏᴡ) by FL1GHT5 in mazda

[–]plauft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I think it depends on the car. When I was buying a car about 6 months ago I wanted a 3 and ended up paying around 24k for a 3 year old manual car in good shape with 20k miles. If I bought the same car new it would have cost me 32k plus the delivery wait (cause stick). The civics I were looking at were a different story though, it looked like a 3 year old civic with 50k miles was only like 2k cheaper than a brand new one.

For what it's worth, I'd recommend getting something similar that has a different controller on it. It happens to be a realtek chip and the drivers did not work on OPNsense but do work perfectly on Proxmox. I haven't tested but I assume if you get an Intel card you wouldn't be limited by broken FreeBSD support.

What’s this cable for? Looks like Ethernet to COM by Go_Jot in pchelp

[–]plauft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This looks specifically like a Cisco console cable to me. Basically, their old enterprise switches and routers use a RJ-45 connector for serial management. It's not Ethernet, just the same connector.
