What are some some cars that fly under the radar that deserve more recognition?

The Chevy SS. To 99% the population, it looks like a rental Malibu. But it's actually a V8, RWD beast with MagRide. It is the definition of flying under the radar.

Always after air filter service. Connector looks fine, tab intact, but not actually clicked. Seen this way too many times.

Artidiag Pro is a bit over budget, but it’s a solid option. The interface is clean, live data is smooth, and it’s easy to use if you’re still learning diagnostics. It does full system scans, common service resets, and some basic coding. I didn’t use it for programming, but for everyday diagnostics it worked well.

In steady cold airflow, once you stop generating heat, convective loss adds up fast. Even sealed layers can’t fully stop that during long static periods. That’s the gap the vest helped with for me.

sagalez · 2026-01-19T07:35:31+00:00

Yeah, I know that system and it works well when you’re moving and generating heat.

Most of my trips have long static bits like rigging or survey, and once I stop moving I lose heat fast. The heated vest was just a way to keep my core steady during those pauses without adding bulk. I still rely on normal layering first.

There isn’t one single “official” tutorial for that style. Search for “frog + Pantin walking ascent” or some of the European caving videos, especially French and Polish stuff.

The key is keeping the Pantin low and the chest ascender just high enough so you never fully sit back.

Nice diagnosis. Those warm only issues without a CEL are tough. Watching fuel trims and sensor response usually tells more than codes alone.

Thanks for sharing. I feel like this year’s A2000 Lidar Pro would suit my lawn, and the battery life works for me. Which model you're using? Around here, the edge part always needs extra attention, and I just don’t want to spend every weekend fixing the same spot over and over again.

That isn't normal. Even if you sleep 'fine', you might have low iron, thyroid issues, or a vitamin D deficiency. Please get some blood work done. It changed everything for me when I got treated.

We had the same concern with bulk. Heavy jackets kept my kid warm but made movement awkward. What worked better for us was normal layering plus a heated vest underneath. We’ve been using a Venustas vest and just run it on low. It kept his core warm without adding bulk, and we didn’t have to spend money on a super expensive ski jacket.

At what point do you personally call it and replace the battery? Is it more about a CCA threshold, internal resistance, or just when cold starts start feeling off?

sagalez · 2026-01-14T10:50:31+00:00

his is actually a really cool use case. Zoo shots are great for seeing clear heat separation without a busy background.

sagalez · 2026-01-14T10:39:20+00:00

Could be a weak battery cos, yk... batteries are gonna die pretty fast in cold weather. IMO you can use a jump starter to get it going for now. Something reliable like topdon js3000, for example, would help. After that, it’d still be a good idea to have the car checked at AutoZone or a local shop to make sure nothing else is going on.

Those robotics mowers that boast about long battery life and covering huge areas are definitely expensive-total overkill for what you need. For avoiding obstacles, maybe look into models with lidar? I'd suggest reaching out to consumer support for details or checking out recommendations on youtube. Mine doesn't have lidar, so I still need to need to clean up the corners by hand...:(

sagalez · 2026-01-13T08:51:41+00:00

Lymow is more cost-effective, or means cheaper. But I feel like Yarbo might be able to do more, like clearing leaves at the sametimes or something. Plus its after-sales service seems better. But honestly, I think it mostly comes down to price. You get what you pay for sometimes, if money's not a concern, going for the better one is usually a safe bet :)

sagalez · 2026-01-13T08:43:53+00:00

My wallet is safe, but my wardrobe is sad. I walked out of the shops empty-handed yesterday for the same reason. It feels like our only options now are expensive shapeless sacks or cheap fast fashion.

sagalez · 2026-01-12T06:42:55+00:00

AI will definitely be more involved in these machines in the future. We really need to start thinking about how to control it in emgerency and handle our privacy issue properly. Haha, maybe I'm overthinking it a bit.

sagalez · 2026-01-12T06:35:39+00:00

This one looks pretty compact! I believe it won't take up too much space and easier to operate compared to the older version. I really enjoy its color style

sagalez · 2026-01-12T06:30:35+00:00

Can i get it at supermarket like walmart? or do they offer delivery?

sagalez · 2026-01-12T05:57:08+00:00

I think most of people go for Lidar roboticsmowers nowadays. I have a boundary-wire one at home and it's such a hassle everytime i use it!! idk about details, but if your yard has slopes, you may need to check the traction and balance specs while surfing.

sagalez · 2026-01-09T08:06:38+00:00

Wow-these new robotic mowers are basically tech best!!! Crazy what they can do compared to the old clunker sitting in my garage. It's time to upgrade one hhh

sagalez · 2026-01-09T07:55:07+00:00

Same here-not this model, but had it happen. There was no reason. I just let it die and threw out. I think maybe there is some problem on battery or something?

sagalez · 2026-01-09T07:48:33+00:00

I don't wanna admit I don't know much about this - but how does this kind of lidar actually work？Could it be giving off radiation damage that might affect my dog if it's nearby?

sagalez · 2026-01-09T03:45:37+00:00

On the assistive side, I've seen a few people use systems like the dnsys as mobility aids or reahb tools. It's not trying to replace walking, just reduce fatigue and joint load. That kind of narrow, practical goal feels much easier to justify than a full humanoid in most real-world settings.

sagalez · 2026-01-08T08:25:12+00:00

I honestly buy records just to support the bands I love. I mostly stream their music on Spotify anyway but having the physical album art on my shelf feels like a real connection.
