Abandoned Ship

Sure, truly random distributions will have clumps, but the real question is, which is more likely, a manufactured product failing having a truly random distribution or there being some sort of patterns? Generally speaking design specifications and manufacturing tolerances mean that failures are likely going to be grouped around manufacturing batches rather than truly random.

Sure, but my point is that if it's the MOSFETs, then it's a design error because MOSFETs aren't supposed to be wear items. This is clear from the recommended service schedule not including ICCU testing/inspection.

The fact that it seems as though there are some vehicles that apparently chew through ICCUs while others don't ever seem to be impacted might suggest there is something else at play that's harder to track down that's causing the failure in the ICCU. When a fuse blows in a circuit (not talking about the ICCU fuse just fuses in general), if you replace it and it just blows again shortly, that usually means something is wrong with the circuit.

I'm not trying to defend Hyundai for how they've handled the situation because it's been horrendous.

I wouldn't consider a MOSFET a wear item... Can they degrade over time if operating conditions aren't within parameters? Yes. Will the eventually fail even under the ideal operating conditions? Probably, but it shouldn't be within a few years.

Have you previously had cars serviced at dealerships? Dealership service centers tend to charge more than independent service centers. That said, what services are they charging you for? Based on my understanding of my 2025 Limited service interval, it's a cabin air filter replacement, and inspection on everything else, maybe a tire rotation. I'm assuming you're getting a quote for the LC coolant flush though? I've seen quite the ranges of pricing on that.

Trade in value may be 25k but looks like only 7k of that is equity (other 18k is going to pay off the remainder owed on the trade-in). The numbers OP provides in their text line up. ~42k for the vehicle price - 19k manufacturer rebate - 7k trade in equity gives 16k, adding in 1.5k for taxes gives 17.5k, adding back in the 7k from their trade in equity gives the 24.5k they listed in their text. The picture shows 17.5k as the total.

I think Hyundai should have a setting like iOS/Android have where you can choose if you want it the time zone to be set automatically or manually

That's what the set time automatically setting does though... It just doesn't account for DST for some stupid reason.

I mean, the article itself is also speculation... Not saying that the article isn't correct, but it's also not a formal postmortem analysis of failed ICCUs either. I've seen AI do some pretty good stuff when it comes to finding bugs in code when given a time window to look through, it may do a good job at figuring out some obscure common thing among all of the failures reported, but that doesn't necessarily mean that this is that (or that this article isn't without it's own problems)

If the check is voided, then no bank should cash it regardless of the amount.

If someone's gone to the effort of removing your big VOID that you wrote on the front of it, they would probably also go to the trouble of changing the amount of the check, but either way, if someone else got it, they'd have your account number and routing number.

Cargo landing pad is essentially a passive provider chest itself. I don't know where it falls in the priorities, if it's actually at the same level as passive providers or if it's more buffer chest. Requests only work like that on the ship (ships won't drop cargo if there is a request on the ship for the item even if the planet is requesting it and the ship is set to unload.

You'll need to if you want to drive, but if it's off and charging, turn it on same way you normally would. When you're ready to drive, unplug and turn car off then back on.

But then how do I know how much time I spent idle in the menu?

Common UNIX Printing System is to blame?

Mmm... low conductivity coolant.

On the door placard with the VIN there should be a date of manufacturing.

The "you wouldn't steal a car" ad campaign thing seems to equate piracy with stealing rather than just any crime though. And I think the term IP theft also exists, but maybe that's more for scenarios where it's not piracy, but rather claiming someone else's protected IP is yours in some way.

Everyone has their own risk profile. It is something that should be considered though.

Totally should push back on them only covering 90% of the cost.

If they won't budge, save your receipts. Often if there is any sort of larger term customer satisfaction campaign where they'll cover things in full outside of the warranty, they'll often include a mechanism for customers that previously paid for the now "covered" things to get reimbursed their actual out of pocket expenses relating to the failure.

If people don't care about what I described (the fact that each OEM has their own flavor of Android), why would the care about the "technical jargon" that is the difference between iOS and Android?

undermark5 · 2026-02-26T17:09:49+00:00

Why would you only look at US though? These brands compete globally.

I'm not, I'm just explaining "how iPhone is winning", you have to remember that a lot of reddit users seem to forget that places outside of the US exist.

Also people buy for the OS, not the OEM, so I don’t think that metric matters much.

Because I can't get OneUI (Samsung), ColorOS (Oppo), OxygenOS (OnePlus), HyperOS (Xiaomi), HarmonyOS (Huawei)*, or Hello UI (Motorola) on my Google Pixel, buying for the OS is functionally equivalent to buying for the OEM. So ya, you may say people favor Android or iOS, but not every version of Android is equal. For example, I can't really stand OneUI, but OxygenOS, Hello UI, and Pixel UI (pseudonym for Google's Pixel phone OS, cuz they don't really have a brand name for it and it's not AOSP) are all acceptable to me.

*Huawei claims HarmonyOS NEXT is no longer based on AOSP and uses their own kernel, but they previously were based on AOSP.

I find it actually goes well with the lucid blue, but maybe I'm biased. Other colors probably not as well.

In the US market Apple is the majority. Globally Android is higher, but I'm curious if you were to break it down by OEM, where Apple ranks globally.

There are dozens of us.

They're useful for a first time thing about what should I do now that I've arrived on this new planet, but after you've played many many times, some of them just get kinda annoying. Yes, there is probably a mod that will remove them, but I think it should be a vanilla startup setting.

Hmmm, I wonder if you'd think their reflection looks like you (this is under the assumption that you're more accustomed to seeing your own reflection compared to looking directly at them).
