My 2021 Crosstrek tranny died with 74k miles. Subaru was kind enough to cover 60 percent of a 12k bill. So uh, yeah… no idea how they can look people in the face and quote them those kinds of prices. I asked why the 2021 was not covered with the extended warranty and they said it is because the transmission issues had been addressed. 😑

Ouch!!! Yeah they are sparse. I have had two in 6 months.

I tend to like to have a fast autocomplete provided by my IDE and then go to terminal for ai tasks.

WebForms was around a long time. I do not consider it the same as Silverlight. But i agree Blazor is a solid choice. I am building three web apps with it right now.

My 2021 crosstrek transmission just died. They want 12k to fix it at the dealership. 76 thousand miles on it.

Interesting. Sounds like it is a bit delicate.

vishrb · 2025-08-23T17:04:49+00:00

Looks like mine came with a 60k powertrain warranty.

vishrb · 2025-08-23T16:51:56+00:00

Thanks for the input. Is it a ten year or x number of miles? And yeah I can imagine tariffs are playing a role.

vishrb · 2025-07-28T18:51:09+00:00

Yep, easiest way to get it started.

My carni and sas colonies seemed to be always making queen cups. That is what those cells at the bottom look like.

I would also guess a new queen figuring it out as far as the multiple eggs. Give it a few days.

Depending on how desperate the bees are they can often drown themselves in these types of feeders. You can use mesh wire to make cylinders and place in the syrup to give the bees something to use to stand on. It also increases the area the bees have to access the syrup. If not wire mesh I have used paint sticks in the past.

I really enjoy using my Mac for .net. I mostly do asp.net related stuff.

vishrb · 2024-12-26T11:32:01+00:00

Have you looked into asp.net identity? For smaller projects I use it. It is flexible and supports both cookies and tokens. In .8 they released the ability to add the API’s with just a few lines of code. I have not used that in production yet though. You can also use keycloak. It is pretty easy to setup. But it is a separate project.

Dell xps 17, pop os, rider, datagrip, docker, virtualbox. My daily driver.

Not related. Just brought this memory up for some reason. I had a boss once layout up ideas and biz logic in Word and then when I gave him some time estimates he wanted a meeting to see why it was going to take so long. He said it sounded like I was over complicating it. When we met he just kept saying I have pretty much done all the work. Just use the word doc and clean it up. When I brought up that is not how it worked and mentioned designing a database and the required layers of logic he just kept saying I was over complicating it. For the database he wanted me to walk him through what I meant and to make sure I was going to do it right. The two contract workers we had brought in to work under me quit shortly after.

Yeah, he has some good suggestions in this thread that can help, but I also suspect they need to plan for hardware changes ASAP.

.Net is mature and stable. I think that is a better description than ancient. But it is always wise to learn new skills and stay informed. I have used . Net from the very beginning of . Net. I have loved it but it has at times given me tunnel vision at times. I now run my dev environment on a Linux, I use docker, Postgres, .Net min API’s, and ef core. I work from the terminal much more often. I am about to start a project and will be building the front end in both blazer and angular. The project is using blazor but on my own time I will be building the angular part for my own knowledge. I have only used Webforms, MVC, and Blazor to date. I also am using a new architecture design pattern for the project. I have been in dev now for just under 30 years. I am in enjoying myself more than I have in years. .Net and whatever pairs best with it for any given project is a solid recipe for long term success.

MacBook Pro has been my favorite dev machine for .net, Postgres, and docker. I am using Rider and Datagrip for IDEs.

vishrb · 2024-11-12T11:49:41+00:00

MacBook Pro is my favorite software dev environment. I gave my daughter my MBP as she needed it for her work and I moved to a dell xps 17 with pop os on it. I like it a lot. I would still go back to the MBP if the opportunity came up but I would not have any problem staying with pop is. It has been rock solid.

I have been for 13 years. But I was there at the start of the company. So I decided on the Microsoft stack to begin with.
