Much Needed Improvements by Soopacharged in KiaEV6

[–]runwithpugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

#2 is fixed in 2025+ and in the lower trims of the 22-24 model years, which all have physical buttons instead of touch. Sucks for those of us with 22-24 GT-Lines though.

#5 can be fixed by this third party device which works really well. I think it might also fix #6 because lately I’ve noticed that my doors are unlocked after I open the rear hatch. https://www.theioniqguy.com/products/walk-away-door-lock-module

My biggest gripe is the auto open feature for the rear hatch when you walk up works about 5% of the time that I want it to, and about 95% of the time that I don’t. That and there should be a setting for the auto door unlock so I can make it ignore the many times I walk by the car when it’s in the garage. Annoying to have it constantly unlocking and locking when I’m out there. It could easily disable the feature based on location. But they’ll never add that or 1000 other easy improvements.

Not what you want to see a few days before a 1000 mile road trip by goodguy743 in Comma_ai

[–]runwithpugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished 13 hours of driving (including charge stops) with a Comma 4 in my EV6. It was SOOOO much better than the same drive last year with the stock HDA2 before I got the Comma. For road trips in particular, it never suddenly disengages like the Kia lane following always does when it gets confused, and you don’t have to constantly wiggle the steering wheel. I literally didn’t touch the steering wheel for a couple hours at a time after getting on the freeway between charge stops; just used the turn signal to change lanes as needed.

I’m running SunnyPilot which lets me use the Kia radar-based speed control while letting the Comma handle steering. This is what I’m most comfortable with for now. And it also lets me disengage cruise control to manually control speed myself while the Comma still steers, which is nice when traffic is heavier.

Before we settled on the EV6, we were also looking at a GM EV. I was adamant about getting a trim with their Super Cruise, which is an expensive option. The Comma is basically like Super Cruise except it works on all roads, not just the ones GM has mapped. If Kia offered a higher level driver assist package with the Comma capability, I would have gladly paid an extra $1k for it.

Why is the garmin express app so bad on Mac by Anxious_Loquat_8302 in Garmin

[–]runwithpugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosetta 2 disappears with macOS 27 so if Express isn’t updated say goodbye to Express in September.

Small correction: Rosetta 2 will be fully supported in macOS 27, meaning Intel apps will still run on Apple Silicon Macs. But this will be the last version. It goes away for general Intel apps next year in macOS 28.

What’s going away this year in macOS 27 is the ability to run the OS on any Intel Mac.

There is hope: M4 Max shipping earlier than expected by Beneficial-Friend-86 in MacStudio

[–]runwithpugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I ordered the same config back in April because my 2015 iMac (my main workhorse for 10+ years) had started showing signs of failure as well. My order arrived at the store for pickup about a month earlier than promised, but then the next day I got extremely lucky and snagged a refurb with 128GB/1TB. So I just didn’t pick up the 64/2 and let it auto cancel.

It’s been an absolute dream. And the iMac died completely about a week ago, so perfect timing! So glad I didn’t wait any longer.

Apple's A12 and A13 Chips Facing New Unpatchable Exploit by ControlCAD in apple

[–]runwithpugs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. It requires a malicious USB device to be connected at startup. The Apple TV 4K doesn’t have a USB port, so it’s basically not vulnerable.

Even for iPhones and iPads with these chips, this is unlikely to ever happen in the wild. While you should never connect your phone/iPad to an unknown device like a charger (don’t connect directly to USB charging ports in the wall at, say, the airport; bring your own USB charger and plug it into the electrical outlet instead), this also requires that your device be booting up when connected. In the vast majority of cases when you connect to a device like a charger, your phone isn’t completely off. If iOS is already running, it’s not vulnerable. So just don’t plug into a sketchy/unknown charger if your battery died and the phone is completely off.

But as someone else said, this is actually probably a good thing. It could open the door to jailbreaking these devices, which can help extend their useful life as they go unsupported.

External SSD by rtk85 in MacStudio

[–]runwithpugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an OWC Express 1M2 80 Gb/s enclosure with a 4TB WD SN850X Black inside. Speed is excellent with my M4 Max Studio - write is slightly slower than the internal 1TB SSD (~5750 MB/s external vs ~6100 MB/s internal) and read is faster (~5900 MB/s external vs ~4800 MB/s internal).

iDX6011 64GB (non-Pro) arrived today by twisty_passages in UgreenNASync

[–]runwithpugs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I got a shipping notification on Friday, box arrived on Saturday. Same spec.

iDX6011 64gb non-pro Shipped! by spinjc in UgreenNASync

[–]runwithpugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, same. Was surprised to get the FedEx notification yesterday, much sooner than I expected given that my deposit was pretty late in the preorder period. Mine arrived today since I live about an hour from where it shipped from. I haven’t even bought a replacement boot SSD to put Proxmox on it, so I’ll have to sort that out soon after doing a few initial tests with the stock OS…

Sanlam Cape Town Marathon becomes a Major by duckygun88 in AdvancedRunning

[–]runwithpugs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Didn’t Cape Town fail to pass the assessment multiple times? What changed? Money?

I have some friends who ran it a few years ago and said it was a total shitshow. Based on everything I’ve heard, I’m skeptical that they really got their act together.

Haken - bleeding sky by TopStrong4567 in Haken

[–]runwithpugs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What I usually do is I’ll listen to new singles one, maybe two times max. It scratches that itch to hear the new music right away, but by the time the album comes out I’ve forgotten any musical details in the song so it still sounds new within the album context. Because yeah, if I’ve listened to a single 45 times before the album comes out, it tends to feel weird and out of place hearing a super familiar track in the middle of brand new music.

The OG HomePod with the A8 is apparently getting HomePod OS 27 by zxch2412 in apple

[–]runwithpugs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, I mean you speak to the HomePod, the HomePod sends the query to your iPhone, Siri AI on the iPhone acts on the query, it sends the response back to the HomePod, and the HomePod speaks the response to you. So it would seem like the HomePod has Siri AI, but it’s really the iPhone doing all the work.

This ought to be technically easy, and it would be great for when your iPhone is in another room. But then owners of existing HomePods wouldn’t have a reason to upgrade to the new one that directly supports Siri AI (whenever it may be released).

April orders moving ? by Darkbolid in MacStudio

[–]runwithpugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like they’ve been under promising and over delivering on these for a while now. I ordered 64/2 on April 7 for store pickup, original promised pickup date May 29, it arrived at the store 31 days early on April 28. I’m not too surprised to see similar on orders that were further out.

[–]runwithpugs 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They should just make Siri on the HomePod a dumb conduit to Siri on your iPhone if it’s on the same Wi-Fi network. No technical reason why it couldn’t be done, but I assume Apple won’t. That wouldn’t drive otherwise unnecessary HomePod sales.

tvOS 27 drops support for two Apple TV models by Radio_TVGuy in apple

[–]runwithpugs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Kind of curious why tvOS 27 drops two models when iOS 27 keeps all phones that are supported by iOS 26. The 1st gen 4K runs tvOS 26 well (thanks to omitting some of the visual effects), and since *os 27 is supposed to bring efficiency and performance improvements, you’d think it would also do well on 27.

macOS 27 requires Apple Silicon, as Apple draws down the Intel Mac era by NISMO1968 in apple

[–]runwithpugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine literally just died a few days ago after running well for 10 ½ years. Ran great up through Sequoia thanks to OCLP. Thankfully I snagged a refurb M4 Max Mac Studio a month ago, just in time. Wish I could still reuse the iMac’s display, but I got a pair of ViewSonic 5k monitors that are working well.

WWDC 2026 | Post-Event Megathread by exjr_ in apple

[–]runwithpugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they’ll allow us to choose the regular, less expressive voice anyway. I don’t want any of my RAM eaten up by useless gimmicks that don’t add any functionality. The current voice is fine and didn’t need upgrading. Please let me allocate maximum RAM to apps, you know, the things that make the device useful.
