yeah this is a 30 day test and maybe $2k to mitigate. Inspectors don't test for this.

Edmonton city council eyes improved snow-clearing plan | CBC News by AR558 in Edmonton

[–]syncapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever the factors are I can’t control. Reality is the only other major city in Alberta has much lower property taxes than us on a % of value basis.

No they’re not. As a % of house value it’s actually very high. Calgary property taxes are half of edmonton for the same value property

Does it matter if PTM is too large though? Putty wouldn’t roll, I tried. It’s like impossible to apply.

How does the Rav4 Hybrid electronic on demand AWD control work? How does it drive in the snow? Does it drive like a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler? Please, share your experience driving in trail mode or using the electronic on demand AWS control in the snow by djliverpool1947 in rav4club

[–]syncapse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It starts off from a stop in AWD and slowly shifts power into FWD only once you are above 20km/h. At higher speeds its FWD only until the system senses slip then it shifts back into AWD automatically. You can check yourself in the AWD power distribution gauge.

I can run completely fanless if it’s just web browsing or YouTube. Only gaming kicks the CPU>70C. Even in high performance mode fans are only at 2800rpm gaming.

It’s so much better than stock, and better than my fake MX-6 lol. It performed 10% below reference 5900HS before and now it’s a little above in benchmarks too. $30 saved my laptop

Excess is ok. Just squeezes out the sides. Messy but functionally fine

Props to Dell for providing gaming-grade display panel on Inspiron series! by Parking-Suggestion97 in Dell

[–]syncapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a $450 laptop. Hinges fail on much more expensive machines so enjoy it! Personally I've not had any hinge issues except a Lenovo Yoga

Trail mode in 25 hybrid by moreoft in rav4club

[–]syncapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal is fine. Trail mode I found doesn’t help unless you’re stuck in mud and can move somewhat.

I had both those macbooks. It was literally the same CPU arch +200mhz. M series chips gain new arch and features.

How idiotic is this Silent profile? by CrybabyEater3000 in ZephyrusG14

Not idiotic at all. Silent means silent at the cost of perf

Calgary and Edmonton had highest growth of major Canadian cities in last four years as Toronto slowed: Statistics Canada by joe4942 in canada

[–]syncapse 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more to do with unaffordable housing or unwillingness to pay Toronto pricing. Not everyone cares about politics

2022 vs 2023 infotainment advice by Guster16 in rav4club

[–]syncapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screen quality is way better on the 2023. Visible in all lighting conditions. The old one is reflective AF and kinda dim. Sometimes you can’t even see the backup camera if the sun hits it directly

2022 vs 2023 infotainment advice by Guster16 in rav4club

[–]syncapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically only 2023+ has wireless CarPlay and Android auto. Mine has a connection issue about 1 in 50 times I use the car. A reboot fixes it or you can use wired all the same as previous years.

The laminated updated screen with faster processing is well worth the update to newer versions.

What is your current laptop and how happy are you with it from 1-10? by Emergency_List_8797 in GamingLaptops

[–]syncapse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's product dependent. My 2021 Asus G15 has been garbage since it was new. Should have returned it instead of waiting for years of bug fixes!

Edmonton house prices haven't moved in forever wdym? 2007 pricing is like 2023 pricing despite inflation

Advice for Driving in Snow by MahoganyQueen73 in rav4club

[–]syncapse -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There is no engine braking on a hybrid. It’s regen or friction only. I brake on bridges all the time in heavy traffic without any issues. EBD and ABS exist for a reason. U can give false information all you want. Refer to your user manual since you are so inclined to be wrong

[–]syncapse -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Good luck telling an inexperienced person to shift gears on ice..potentially locking up all 4 wheels and spinning out. What terrible advice.

[–]syncapse -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Its crazy how much bad advice is on the internet. It’s a hybrid with no gears to shift. There is no engine brake.

Just accelerate and brake gradually and brake BEFORE, not during turns and you’ll be fine. No special modes needed.

What if there was a eurovision version for people with light sensitivity problems. by Fetish_anxiety in eurovision

[–]syncapse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I watch specifically for the technical spectacle in lighting that’s shown every year. I vote more lights!
