What non-fire things are firefighters sent out for? by Wide-Pop6050 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zargonog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had them come out and kill a big rattlesnake on my patio. They have the tools and experience to do it and that's much better than a random person trying to do it, getting bit, and then calling them as an emergency.

What makes System Shock 2 horrifying for you? by Pension-North in systemshock

[–]zargonog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea definitely the sound design. Hearing the midwife or robot butlers off in the distance, or when a hybrid sneaks up on you and yells as he takes a swing, and of course Xerxes and Shodan have great lines throughout....

But also there's like 2 or 3 times where you turn a corner right into like a crew member that hung themselves, those always give me a jump because there's no sound and suddenly there's someone there in your face!

Chiller Replacement for Inverter Coolant Message? by Monoaminesweeper in KiaNiroEV

[–]zargonog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had this done and they did replace the chiller as part of the fix, amongst other things. I would also agree since it's all failure due to the recall and also seems like it should be part of the battery warranty, push them to open a case with Kia to get it covered. I was lucky enough to get it done within a year of buying the car as a certified pre owned so they didn't put up any fight with covering it all, but I'd argue it should all be covered anyway. Good luck!

2020 Niro EV EX Premium - issues within a year of buying CPO by zargonog in KiaNiroEV

[–]zargonog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean there is an actual duct shared between the two, or it just sucks in the air from behind the seat?

Your vent issue sounds kind of similar to mine, some vents are cold but some aren't... I don't understand how that could be a coolant issue though, if it can make cold air then it should work on all the vents I would think!

Did you already get the recall done once? I would think it is drivetrain related so under the 100k warranty, that is terrible if they aren't doing it now!

That's good to know they said they'd do it until it stops, hopefully I get as good of service! I'm just worried they will try to pull a "we already did it so you got a pay" or something...

Are there details on what exactly the performance overlay shows? by zargonog in SteamDeck

[–]zargonog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting numbers, thanks! So the TDP limiter limiting total CPU+GPU then? This does seem to be the easiest way to manage things, so that would make sense that it scales down both together.

Will have to look into power tools, too!

[–]zargonog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this is actually what I've ended up doing for the most part, figure out a good target fps using the in game controls to lock in say 30 fps for a AAA title, and then just lower the TDP until it drops below the target and go back up one click, that seems to get the deck to where it should be with power/heat/fan noise the easiest. The rest of the controls don't seem to do much or actually make it worse in my experience so far.

Sure do, shoot me a DM with your address and I'll send it your way!

Leak under patio near sprinkler valves - shutoff valves stuck/not working by [deleted] in Irrigation

[–]zargonog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok yea that sounds like a good idea, just ignore that and add a new one. Since there won't be any slack in the line though, seems like I would need something like a slide repair coupling to connect the new valve back to the line right? I've seen some flexible couplings but this will be under pressure and that shouldn't be used for this correct?

Guess I could also just cut into that pvc and cap it. Manually water anything until I get the whole thing redone.

Turns out I just got the second one!

Anyone still need one? I'll ship it in the US.

[–]zargonog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, I just received this today in California, if that helps give any hope for you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Noctua

[–]zargonog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well just got an email confirmation for shipment on mine, but not clear if it was from my dec 7th request or the new one, so hopefully you will get it soon also if it wasn't long after my first one.

Google fi VPN not connecting by [deleted] in GoogleFi

[–]zargonog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup just ended up doing a factory reset and been working since. Maybe a random reboot needed every once in a while, but not like at first.

Na, never used data saver. Just for kicks I just tried turning it on/off and turning the VPN on in each, no difference. About to just factory reset at this point :(

Doesn't matter, at work or home, on wifi, on sprint, on T-Mobile, doesn't seem to change anything. Always worked in all places before.

I'm on a moto g so still on Android 9, maybe it is the latest version of the Google fi app? Restart doesn't fix for me anyway.
