I wish the Bose high frequency magnetic suspension became a thing

it could literally JUMP

yea this suspension system is just super duper expensive

[sly elk]

nono china says they invented that like a month ago on tiktok :p

[dire viper]

it would make sense in todays world but its still VERY expensive

only cars that would feasibly actually have it would be a Rolls or Bentley

SUPERIOR CHINESE ENGINEERING

[dire viper]

hydraulic cringe

this is technology from the 1940's

[sly elk]

also those cars are very luxurious because the plastic interior has a giant ass LCD inside

if you disagree it's -99 social credits

[neon shell]

I hope it's not on their desk. That would hurt your eyes to constantly stare at

[sly walrus]

what is that paintjob

[sly elk]

also

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-9X70TDeLac

look at how the superior chinese car makes the other euro cars look like trash

[dire viper]

Citroen did Hydropneumatic suspension first

FIRST period

[sly elk]

all that money and the rolsl can't even hold wine glasses

(I am being so sarcastic it hurts)

[neon shell]

I totally read that as citrus instead lol

[sly elk]

unfortunately the car mags are like frothing at the mouth to cheer on these things

[deep sapphire]

thats pretty cool

[sly elk]

it's pretty cool

porsche has embraced low rider culture yo

[deep sapphire]

im surprised there is no aftermarket for shit like magneride

[dire viper]

yea the Citroen Traction Avant was used as a test bed to test the hydropneumatic system but the DS was the first car to use it fully

[deep sapphire]

having magneride on an older vehicle would be amazing

[dire viper]

lmao funny french technology that went on to define main battle tanks for decades after

the XM803 program was the first armored vehicle program to use it iirc?

[deep sapphire]

implying im suppose to know that

[dire viper]

yes

this thing could go cruisin in LA with the lowriders

[deep sapphire]

ur the european fanboy you'll have to find another like you

[dire viper]

😔

the Citroen DS is peak car

even if it makes zero sense

[deep sapphire]

I converted @modest moss to love chevy so you'll have to find another european sorry

[deep sapphire]

that looks like one of those boat cars

[dire viper]

its not good looking

but it has all the cool tech

[deep sapphire]

I remember an episode of bill nye the science guy showing that

and I was like yo wtf

[dire viper]

first car to have self leveling suspension and hydropneumatic suspension

in 1955

lol

[deep sapphire]

https://youtu.be/4Xn7cXGhFu8?t=54

yeah here

[dire viper]

LMAO

yea

one day when I have money I will buy a DS

[deep sapphire]

what car even is this

[dire viper]

you can independently raise every suspension corner on the car

[deep sapphire]

you probably know

[dire viper]

I actually dont know what it is

[deep sapphire]

lmao the bill nye raps at the end of the episodes

[dire viper]

it has a fucking boat number on the side

so its registered thats wild

[deep sapphire]

https://youtu.be/evH2r5dOq5Q?si=i3RpU1g4SGtMNVB6

🤣

[dire viper]

why did Citroen go to shit 😔

Citroen and Lancia were the largest innovators of their time

[deep sapphire]

I dont think a single french automaker succeeded in america

fiat tried a couple times

[dire viper]

Citroen did the first fully independent suspension car, first FWD car, first car with the fancy suspension talked about above

Lancia did the first V4

[deep sapphire]

im not sure thats a bragging point being those things rattle themselves to death

[sly elk]

suspension kits are expensive af to retrofit

idk about magnaride specifically but air suspension ones anyway

[dire viper]

which one

[sly elk]

(there's an air suspension kit for my wrangler and it's like $7k)

[deep sapphire]

V4s

[dire viper]

the Lancia V4's were great

[sly elk]

https://www.quadratec.com/p/accuair/air-suspension-system-wrangler-jl-unlimited-AA-4104/2.0l-3.6l-aa-4104
I assume it'd cost another $5k to install

[deep sapphire]

if you dont mind DIY you can do air bags and stuff fairly cheap

[dire viper]

the engines by design fix the balancing issues

we have not moved far away from Lancia's designs even in the motorcycle world

[deep sapphire]

that was a common upgrade on trucks back in the day cause airbags are great for heavy payloads

[sly elk]

these are so cool

[dire viper]

your Ducati Panigale still has the same basic design that Lancia created

[deep sapphire]

they just suck in the winter because air density and all that

[sly elk]

there's another citroen that has that vibe and a normal rear end

[dire viper]

oh did you guys see the NIO ET9

[sly elk]

i was just sarcastically talking about it

go back up lol

there's the video of the lexus with the bose suspension

[dire viper]

oh yea real

idk why I forgot about that

I agree

its a weird ass marketing gimmick

cause a lot of cars have already had active suspension

[sly elk]

lol everyone's eating it up like it's never been done before

[dire viper]

but suspension like that doesnt last very long

[sly elk]

but bose/lexus did the same damn thing

[dire viper]

its very maintenance heavy

[sly elk]

and the bose thing has been around in trucks ever since

[dire viper]

it was just Bose on their own iirc

they had an LS400 just sitting there

yea I wish the Panamera didnt go up in price with the update but honestly

the chassis is massively updated

the active suspension is crazy good

[sly elk]

i want a nice looking sturdy and reliable and sporty porsche that doesn't cost $10k to repair the suspension in 5 years

fuck it gime a citroen

[dire viper]

987 Boxster

[sly elk]

with the cool suspension

[sly elk]

it's still $70k anymore

[dire viper]

wha

[sly elk]

well the new ones anyway*

[dire viper]

you can get a 987 boxster for like 20k

they are starting to dip below 20k regularly

PDK ones are still above 20k

cause its PDK

also the Panamera gets a new version of the PDK

comfort optimized PDK

the market is healing

[sly elk]

well yea

all those people bought their house a few years ago and it's worth double now

might as well celebrate

[dire viper]

nah Boxsters arent 50k now

they are regularly selling at below 20k on auction now

fixed price always higher obviously

if I get this job next week I will literally be able to just save some money, sell the M3, buy a Boxster or Cayman next year

cause I have zero aspirations outside of owning and driving my dream cars

[sly elk]

my dream car was a lamborghini xD

but I do want a little nice porsche hehe

maybe i should try taking one of those cheap ones for a spin

[paper tusk]

would do a test drive for sure to make sure you're good with the seats (on the firm side last time I was in one)

[dire viper]

They have the comfort and then sport seats

Very few cars are optioned with sports seats actually which is amusing

And as of now, the sport buckets are form fitted to the driver

Only issue I’ve had in them is just getting my seat just right otherwise

I wear size 14 shoes so my feet are fairly tall

I have to sit farther back than I’d like so my leg isn’t at a weird angle

[late basalt]

This marvelous gem from LPL showed up in my YouTube feed. I cannot believe the guy deadpanned this video without laughing his ass off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X2PuE6ELmg

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/shopping-wow-shocked-price-surprised-gif-11180047

i paid a lot more >> I don't regret it though

[severe flax]

Im still on the 5800X3D from previous socket

[sly elk]

it has totally done the job and I'm quite happy with it

[severe flax]

Im gonna make this last tho

[sly elk]

there is no reason to upgrade from a 5800x3d lol

[severe flax]

Yep

I upgraded from a 2700 to a 5800X3D

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire this thing is gonna leave me on the side of the fucking road

@dire viper wish me luck the boi is loaded and I can barely reach the pedals

[eternal zinc]

opinion about whether or not this is fixable?
monitor problem since i seen the logo behaving this way too

[modest moss]

Have you tried a different cable and port

[eternal zinc]

cable not yet . tried diff gpu port

[modest moss]

Try a different port on the monitor if it has others, and yeah different cable too

[eternal zinc]

will try it tmr , alrdy off the pc

[royal forge]

Need a slight sanity check

I was under the impression the ultra 5 processor was a better processor?

I love that channel

[cerulean talon]

I love when something absurd like that crops up on there.

Also the giga-battery pack ones have been good.

IIRC, that smol engine from the clip also has a turbo kit, I was looking at those engines for some reason, I don't recall why offhand tho.

[deep sapphire]

did you see that huge dewalt 1/2 high torque lmao

it has a turbo mode

they need to make that into a 3/4 drive

I think anything 1000lbs/ft is too much for a 1/2 drive

[cerulean talon]

I think so? It's been a minute from the last time I caught something, because YT has decided that my entire feed should be low-quality memes.

[deep sapphire]

unless you plan on using them a lot you dont need much

mood. makita is a let down (refusing to update oscillating multitool for quality of life/performance, batteries need LIPo update badly for more twist/capacity which will never happen)

[deep sapphire]

I only have a mid torque from milwaukee and its never had a problem taking anything off my truck thats old and rusty

[deep sapphire]

and never having a fuckin sale

and when they do its not even remotely competitive to dewalt or milwaukee

SAVE 50 DOLLARS ON THIS 8 YEAR OLD DRILL WE NEVER UPDATED

THE 40 VOLT STUFF!? NAH YOU GOTTA PAY 500 FOR THAT

[paper tusk]

whoopie fucking do

[deep sapphire]

I've been told Makita is more aggressive in the oceania regions including australia

well, all of those tools arent brushless and are probably really old

if you are just doing casual home DIY stuff

just buy ryobi one+

one+ is brushless and more than good enough for casual DIY

I dont like Milwaukee's non Fuel line

its really old

and not very competitive for the price

check out rigid too they have pretty competitive price and performance

fuel is pro level tools

thats where you go if you want top dog shit

but that means you are actually using that for work

or just too much money than sense

if you are new to tools it really is up to you what you want and need

its smart to pick one brand and stick with them though because they all have their own battery eco system

but if you barely use them it doesnt really matter

yeah ryobi one+ is fine, wait for fathers day you'll have some great deals

thats usually when home depot does their best deals

its right around the corner so might as well

sign up for slickdeal alerts too

you'll get email notifications if a good deal pops up

[dire viper]

windshields are for nerds

If only it was designed to look like a normal car

I get that EV packaging means you don’t have to abide by standards but the thing looks like a pug

If it was more sedan like instead of trying to be a crossover I would like it probably

Gotta get the streamliner

The ioniq 5N is such a nice car tho it makes me sad it’s a Hyundai

[sly elk]

ryobi or milwaukee because you can get a cool dual action orbital polisher to make your car shiny

admittedly

[potent arrow]

my friend has one with Laois holding a w40k dreadnaught

[sly elk]

I heard the milwaukee takes a half dozen fresh batteries to do a car

[potent arrow]

LOL

[dire viper]

Have to wait until the oil gauge starts moving

[potent arrow]

waiting for the transmission oil to warm up?

oil....

cooked

[dire viper]

No, that doesn’t matter much

I got 10W-60 oil so lol

[potent arrow]

my friends Nissan has too otherwise it blows up

[dire viper]

If it’s not warm my car will eat through bearings

[potent arrow]

lol

[dire viper]

But also it’s not that bad, I’m gonna drive it hard later so I want it warm

[potent arrow]

I hold the brakes and slam the accelerator untill I see the cold warning go away tbh

@winged fjord a friend is using PS5 one, since he disliked the PS4 too since battery , beside that the xbox elite series 2 could work too - but dunno how the lifespan is of the batterie overall.

[winged fjord]

(reposting from general questions) Does anyone have recommendations for controllers? I'm currently using a PS4 controller on my Steam Deck, but the battery life on it feels beyond terrible and it only charges if it's plugged in while the system is on. I have a Switch Pro controller, but the A/B and X/Y positions are flipped and I don't think I saw any setting for that

[winged fjord]

I have been considering getting a PS5 one just for that reason, I've never really been a fan of Xbox controllers. I don't really have any intention of getting a PS5 itself, but the controller itself should be fine

[amber kestrel]

there arnt many alternativs, sadly. most of them are "Cheap" :X

[cerulean talon]

I'd try to get your hands on a PS5 controller and see if you like it first. The flat bottoms of the handgrips I find to be a bit uncomfortable/awkward.

[amber kestrel]

when you have some media shops nearby, some offer a "renting" thing, dunno if that is something in your region. then you could give it a try and buy it afterwards. otherwise you can always order one and give it back asap, if you dislike it :X

[winged fjord]

I miss when shops had demo kiosks for consoles

[sly elk]

i use an xbox controller myself lol

but i've gotta say. I had an earlier xbox one controller that only worked plugged into my pc with a cable

i liked it so much i bought this pretty translucent white one that works over bluetooth

.... but the vibrator in that rattles ;-;

@sly elk something about the Targa makes it look so good

I like the HRE’s on this one

Matches the roll bar of the targa top lmao

[sly elk]

i see a targa around here sometimes

but i forgot what color it is lol

[dire viper]

You’ll probably see a lot more of them@

Apparently the last 50% of orders placed have been targas

Like 3 year wait list

Which is insane to me

Targa went from hated to being the Porsche to have

https://youtu.be/UfoUp46G3AM?si=jck3FwPZa00icfTv new Robbert Alblas video yay

the Stratos is cool

it has the Ferrari 206/246 engine but tuned a crazy amount

rally drivers from when the car was racing under Lancia said that "The car never took a corner the same"

could take the exact same path through a corner and it would drive completely different

super unpredictable but super balanced

like a bucking bronco apparently

https://youtu.be/nJ7iAkzx8Nc?si=Iya05Gi1Ewj7XIBX

[sly elk]

I think they're too short xD

[dire viper]

what happens when you want an all out mid engine rally car

there is a weird mini thing that was raced in Group 4 thats a twin turbo monster

its super duper short and looks really weird, cause its super wide like a Renault 5 Turbo but the mini was an even smaller car than the Renault 5

nvm I was thinking of the MG Metro 6R4

oh the Metro was supposed to replace the Mini

why are there gamers nexus moscow mule cups

who drinks moscow mules

they suck

[potent arrow]

:(

[dire viper]

damn the Citroen DS is even crazier than I thought

First production car to use disc brakes

first production car to use radial tires

first production car to use hydropneumatic suspension, first car to use self leveling suspension

car and driver had to stop their brake torture test because after the 60th stop from 60mph to 0, the engine was overheating before the brakes did

[sly elk]

that is a whole lot of ugly

thats the street legal one

I’ve driven one before and it’s a pretty cool car

[deep sapphire]

it was also the fastest FWD car until the last gen type r

which is funny to think about

some shitty econo car with a slapped on turbo

[dire viper]

Yuh

Well it weighs 2900lbs

That’s why

It’s not overweight and it has a proper turbocharged system

Came factory with good tires

[deep sapphire]

LMAO they brought up the ignition recall

[dire viper]

Yes that was always the funniest thing

[deep sapphire]

"better take my keychain off"

🤣

[dire viper]

It’s the same deal with the Toyota throttle issue

The throttle issue was never a part, it was floor mats

So the recall was just removing floor mats

[deep sapphire]

my 2000 camry had a lot of issues with the throttle sticking so I personally think there was more to it but that was before they had drive by wire

[dire viper]

My last auto professor was a tech at a Toyota dealer and he made 10k in two months doing that recall, apparently Toyota was paying double flat rate for it

Was like 30 minute pay x2 and most cars took 10 minutes

[deep sapphire]

lmao

techs eating good

the old XJ cherokees had a massively wide transmission tunnel/hump which means they had to move the pedals more to th eleft

and there were a lot of unintended acceleration issues

[dire viper]

Lol

They had to put different pedal arms didn’t they

To get them spaced out more

[deep sapphire]

I dont think they ever had a recall on it

could be wrong

[dire viper]

What company was it in the 80’s or 90’s that had that issue

That was a super big deal

I remember that cause it turns out they never had an acceleration issue

It was ppl double footing

[deep sapphire]

audi

[dire viper]

Cause they’re stupid

[deep sapphire]

the audi 5000

[dire viper]

Ye

[deep sapphire]

but

I believe that was also because of pedal location

[dire viper]

I watch people double foot in pickup trucks with the largest pedal spacing known to man

[deep sapphire]

because NHTSA couldnt really figure out what was wrong with it

[dire viper]

Yea Audi knew it was the pedal spacing

Cause it wasn’t an issue in Europe

The pedal spacing in euro cars has always been tight

But even with my huge ass size 14 clown shoes I’ve never had that issue

Even in like the BMW 2002 or 60’s 356’s

Ppl just not paying attention

[deep sapphire]

I dunno I feel like every vehicle should follow a standard

I had to drive the company sprinter van and holy shit the top of my boot kept clipping the plastic trim above the brake pedal

like genuinely made me nervous I was gonna get my foot stuck trying to get over to the brakes

[sly elk]

idk if I agree about 'tight' being 'good'

like yea I hear ya that people have been known to fuck it up even when the pedals are far apart

but I think the heel/toe thing is silly in an automatic

[dire viper]

Well yea

Idk it’s never bothered me

BMW has always had the weird long throttle pedal for heel and toe

Cause your really only doing heel toe under hard braking

Usually if I rev match into 3rd, the engine braking is enough

If I’m taking like a right or left turn

[sly elk]

though I do agree, the one that annoys me is when there's some kinda metal above the brake pedal

then my foot gets caught on it if I have it too high

but that's not normal anyway lol

[dire viper]

Austin Yellow M4 next to a Phoenix Yellow M3

that M3 on the right is crazy rare spec

Why the fuck are companies so dumb

Steam does Steam Deck, it's good; I sure hope other tech companies take notes and do something better with Steam's concept!

Asus shoots emselves in the foot
MSI shoots emselves in the foot

What the fuck all they had to do was push out a device as "Steam Deck but with X/Y/Z feature"

[hazy frost]

It would likely have ur fans spinning a lot slower

Can also get better fans if u don’t have good ones which wouldn’t cost much either

Case with no airflow will always be loud especially with low quality fans

[sharp star]

what is this strategy called

[sly elk]

my fans are decent quality

it's just the case is more geared for looking cool than anything lol

the airflow is probably atrocious

[golden stream]

prob bc it's hella niche
Back then we have AYA and/or teeny tiny laptop-ish w laptop size part but the price is ouchie ouch

steam did a funni move that making their device be both THEIR thingy and still allow user to do whatever they want, technically a PC, with highly optimized cater to their inhouse saucey (steamOS, etc etc, not the best but usable and improving), a lot of good will gestures to the open source community, yadayada whatnot, while still be fine if user want to install/dualboot windows

They're not capable of it.

I also agree with the notion that a handheld portable gaming PC is a very very niche market

I think Asus was hoping that people who buy Asus everything but were interested in a steam deck would buy the Asus thing just because it was Asus

and tbh they were probably right about that

not knowing how well the steam deck is actually holding up, I'd unquestionably buy the steam deck blindly over the asus thing or the msi thing

[golden stream]

well the thing of steam deck is, they're just fine out of the box, if you want tinker so go for it do at ur risk

[sly elk]

why? valve is american and I assume their customer service is US-based

[potent arrow]

I thought hardware wise the ally was ok? controversy aside with their shit CS. Steamdeck was only better due to them having good refurb prices?

[sly elk]

that, and they have a much bigger, much better software team to work on the steam deck, I am positive

[potent arrow]

MSI claw is just straight dog shit tho

[sly elk]

the Taiwanese DIY PC companies are almost fly-by-night operations with the quality of their software lmao

[golden stream]

ASUS is the first(?) windows handheld pc console with weird opti and questionable issues like hardware

[sly elk]

it's always the most minimally functional poorly translated piece of shit software to make the shit do what they advertised

and sometimes even then it doesn't

this is fine with the $150 basic asus motherboard

but it gets downright infuriating when you spend $400, 500, 600 on the maximus strix crap

[potent arrow]

bleh lmfao

[sly elk]

and there's that little annoying bug they never fix

or their OC menu is just gibberish with input boxes

[golden stream]

I think I've checked a good amount of Ally SDcard slots being cooked bc it ran too hot
SD SDcard being eaten by the forgetful peep opening the shell without remove the card first

they still have some weird japan exclusive quirky laptops tho

and technically 'vaio' still exists but it just aint the same anymore

the quirk is gone

they needa bring bak the weird purple laptops

[potent arrow]

remember the brick ass Toshiba satellites

[sly elk]

yea i briefly had one

[hazy frost]

I’d replace it if it’s rly bothering u it’s more time intensive than expensive

Moving case is a pain

Going from my stock NZXT fans to unfortunately EK fans has made my life so much better

Not loud asf now

The day I can actually buy the new FDB P12 max I will be happy

It fixed all the issues with the original ones really no more weird noises

[hazy frost]

Nothing makes that thing worth $250 or whatever it is

The Y60 was bad enough

[sharp star]

I thought the Y60 was alright but if you wanted a better performing case you're better off getting something else

I'm still very happy with my Torrent though

[dire viper]

https://youtu.be/_aEG2H0GeuE?si=Pdjoi1jY84zmdVGp

they reall did go carbon

the entire car is carbon

S54 swap as well

anybody who likes cars needs to drive a car with an S54 at one point

same engine in my car and the noise, feel, power is all perfect

[odd sand]

Isn't it basically an O11 with a 45 degree angle corner in the front left? I don't see how the thermals could be much diff considering they both use the same right-facing front fan config

[sharp star]

the fan grills on Hyte cases are more covered with plastic than an O11

[odd sand]

I'm a good driver and Nurburgring still unnerves me with how narrow the roadway is and passing slow traffic etc. at sometimes very high speed differentials seems scary af

[sharp star]

O11 cases have better ventilation than a Y60 or Y70

[odd sand]

Ass would be puckered so bad I would trash my car

[sharp star]

I've tried both

[dire viper]

yes

[sharp star]

The O11 beats the Y60 thermally because of how much plastic the latter uses

[dire viper]

Nurburgring has claimed more lives than any other race track

[odd sand]

Also wtf his speedo doesn't even work?

[dire viper]

when you watch the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, very few passes are made on the ring itself

usually on the GP track that shoots off of it

[dire viper]

yes

normal race car shit

with an S54 tho you really dont need it

car is only making 300~whp and 290 ft lbs

[odd sand]

So you just memorize the RPMs/gear you need to be for each turn or something?

[dire viper]

so its fast in that chassis but its also not like your reaching 170

[dire viper]

sorta

Misha has driven on the nurburgring almost every day for the last 3 years

he actually consults full on pro drivers

and hes driven every variant of engine and car to come out of germany so he just knows

https://youtu.be/RQunrqljF4g?si=R4upUAxtvtBeZijb he even took his grandma for a lap lmao

hes done it twice

[sharp star]

but yeah I wouldn’t really recommend a Hyte case unless you’re more concerned about looks over performance or it has your favorite VTuber or branding on it

[cerulean talon]

Oh, their AI stuff.

[hazy frost]

I mean the only actually good case like this is the H6 flow tbh

Everything else has poor thermals and/or costs too much

The O11 is realistically best if u we’re gonna show off a custom loop or something not for an average build

[sly elk]

the o11 is fine for your typical 360mm aio build

well specifically

if you use 360 on your gpu and your cpu!

then you can put one on top and one on the side

[hazy frost]

Problem being AIO GPUs suck even more than AIOs for CPUs

Custom loop with the 2 360mm rads is ideal

And if ur dumping the kind of money where the case makes sense u should be able to potentially afford a simple loop

Otherwise like don’t spend $130 on a case

[sly elk]

ugh I agree in the sense that replacing an aio on a gpu is almost impossible

which is a darned shame because I like aios

they're cheap compared to a custom loop and require no maintenance until they crap out somewhere between 5-10 years in for a decent one

i would have liked to get the hybrid cooler for my evga card but they were unobtanium lol

honestly i might even be willing to do a 3x420mm custom loop next time just to not hear the fucking noise lol

[cerulean talon]

My roomie really loves the EisWolf psuedo-AIO system, it seems to work well enough, and the fact it's all jammed together w/ QD's is pretty nice

[sly elk]

yesss

i like those

i thought about getting their water block for my 3080ti

though tbh their tubing is horrendously ugly lmao

[cerulean talon]

I mean, yeah.

[sly elk]

still a bit too expensive. might be cheaper in the long run to just wait until the next gen comes out and buy a custom loop card then >>

[dire viper]

In other words, by measuring the current flow in the post combustion ion trail between the plug electrodes, engineers can get an idea of the combustion efficiency during combustion itself. This turns the spark plug into an intrusive engine sensor, providing real time information on each cylinder's unique needs.

what

this is wack

apparently this is what AMG does with the twin plug V12's

so they can get way more power out of them and way more efficiency

It's called Nvidia Shadowplay. xD

[inland mauve]

ugh Nvidia and their shadowplay

[cerulean talon]

AI has very little to do about this in it's current form.

[inland mauve]

AI takes the potential for this kind of data collection and the consequences of it much further

suddenly it actually becomes possible to "judge" every single action someone takes

[cerulean talon]

Not wrong, but the current form is "take a screenshot semi-intelligently" The processing layer is what's gonna be interesting to see.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy one of the machines with the hardware this requires anyway, and I think it needs to be slowed down at the least, but it's also not the end of the world imo. Still dumb tho.

[inland mauve]

when you say data mining, most people think of stuff like breaking open game files to look for models or evidence of future updates

what ever happened to the Ford lightning

seems like it never manifested

[paper tusk]

all I remember is it had all the grace of something nobody actually tested as a truck

horribly overpriced and didn't sell at all

https://insideevs.com/news/716411/ford-resumes-2024-f-150-lightning-sales/

when they say "roubust" we're talking 7,743 units

regular petrol f-150 pushed 145,200 units in the same Q1 time

[sly elk]

i thoguht there was a lot of demand for it initially but the dealers marked it up like crazy ... like every other new ford product

and then they increased the price

like in the beginning there was a 35k fleet version

what's worse is the f150 lightning was exactly the kinda ev everyone asks for

the "I don't want some weird ass EV thing, I just want a normal thing that happens to be electric"

but also

for like city fleet trucks those are terrific i imagine lmao

it would've looked better if the 3rd window wasn't so small

[dire viper]

That includes fleet sales

Fleet deals are insane with ford

Also the Lightning wasn’t actually overpriced if you compare it to all other EV’s

It was scalped

Just like the cybertruck is on the used market

Just like the Rivian R1T and R1S were

[sly elk]

yea i thought the lightning would be more popular lol

the only problem with owning a vehicle like that is that if you need any work done at the dealer, well... good luck i guess..

[dire viper]

Ford owners buy a ford cause they’re cringe and usually are buying base base base

[sly elk]

tbh i wouldn't mind if one of the big auto companies decided to canibalize their own dealer network

and required EV dealers to be physically separate franchises lmao

[dire viper]

Also I would just buy a short cab long bed F-150

And then have a Shelby dealer put on the 10k supercharger kit lmao

My 395hp is now 700

lol

[dire viper]

3 liter supercharger moment

[sly elk]

i wonder if you can get a short cab long bed lightning

also the problem with that order is uh can you get it in a color

[dire viper]

Nah lightning only comes in 4 door cause of the battery tray

[sly elk]

vinyl with the bench seat ofc xD

ah here we go

8' bed 😄

[dire viper]

Yes

Honestly I would buy a pickup like that if I needed a pickup

[sly elk]

same

including the $10k supercharger kit lmao

too bad there's no manual option

wtf

[dire viper]

No manuals cause no point anymore

[deep sapphire]

A truck doesn’t need a manual anymore

If it ain’t a column shifter I’m not interested

[sly elk]

that f150 does have a column shifter

it actually looks pretty darn good with the cheap grille too

[hazy frost]

Ones with a bed smaller than that are pointless

I hate the 4 door ones that are now huge and somehow have a bed that is not even practical compared to older models

[sly elk]

yea i admit

i bet driving that with the supercharged v8 would be a real hoot lol

i wonder if it would hold its value

(with or without the supercharger lol)

Revelations of driving my M3 and no other cars for 3 months and then getting into a new car

Why do I have zero brake feel, why is the brake not linear

Turbo chargers suck ass

In normal commuter cars

The throttle has zero resistance like what

It’s like pushing on air

I can’t get my seating position anywhere near low enough

The M3 has really LONG seats so my thighs are actually supported

That is not the case in this car

https://youtu.be/cmR2mWBi3co?si=xn88iy8Y_Ai0TNzQ

[hazy frost]

What car are u driving that doesn’t support ur legs

Unfortunate

[dire viper]

a Mazda LOL

[hazy frost]

Rip

[dire viper]

after driving my M3 I actually hate it

its a great car but

[hazy frost]

Even my little hatchback feels fine to me

[dire viper]

even the "poor mans" M3 is a better car in every way when it comes to feel, comfort and confidence

[hazy frost]

Which Mazda is it

[dire viper]

CX-9

but I drove a Mazda 3 also yesterday and it was the same

ive driven an ND Miata and its nothing like those two at all

[hazy frost]

Ah

Seats in mine are like this

Looks smaller than it feels

[dire viper]

yuh

the M3 has thigh extenders on top of a long seat

[hazy frost]

I’m short so like my seat has to be far forward anyway

Maybe I don’t notice

[dire viper]

im 6 foot so that probably doesnt help

[hazy frost]

I’m 5’5

Lol

[dire viper]

that will do it

[hazy frost]

I can’t see the back wheel even if I dip the mirrors

[dire viper]

yea naturally aspirated engines are king for me now

[hazy frost]

If I had a naturally aspirated 1.2 Idk what I’d do tbh

[dire viper]

also my M3 has electronic throttle bodies and pedal and idk, the standard mazda throttle mapping is just all over the place

[hazy frost]

My car isn’t fast as is

[dire viper]

have to be at like 75% throttle for it to try to accelerate

[hazy frost]

Oh yeah

I’ve driven cars like that

[dire viper]

in sport mode the throttle becomes 100% linear and its perfect tho its wild

[hazy frost]

I pulled out to overtake someone and put my foot to the floor and it barely moved

And then I looked like an idiot

I expected it to like not shit itself at 50mph

[hazy frost]

Just always drive in sport mode

[dire viper]

real

the actual thing that made me worried was the brakes

idk its weird as fuck to be in a car where the brake pedal does not actually talk to the brakes immediately

[hazy frost]

Yeah that’s

Not great

[dire viper]

[hazy frost]

Invest in AMD instead

Trust

[dire viper]

RIP a lot of companies actually I feel like the rest of this year is gonna be fine but once the year end comes it’s Joever

No why would I

[hazy frost]

Is AMD still going down lol

[dire viper]

I’d rather invest in exotic alloy manufacturers

[hazy frost]

Them getting into AI market did 0

[dire viper]

Inconel gang

Smoking that inconel pack

[hazy frost]

My friend made like a couple grand on Tesla and then didn’t sell it

This year

Idk anyone who invests and isn’t stupid

[dire viper]

I wouldn’t invest in Tesla out of morals

[hazy frost]

Neither

He just wants to make money

[dire viper]

Then just have 5 million dollars to dump in a trust /s

[hazy frost]

That’s my plan fr

All money in index funds goes hard

[dire viper]

You’ll be the largest driving force behind housing prices being unaffordable

Right next to Harvard University

[hazy frost]

I live in England I mean it’s not gonna get much worse

Soon it comes down anyway

‘Soon’

[dire viper]

I think housing will crash in select areas in the US due to the sheer volume of mortgages that are pulled out and the amount of houses sitting for rent

Lots of people took the loans out and then obviously nobody will rent the property for 5-6k a month when other places charged 3-4

[wise jay]

wont anyone think of the poor landlords?/s

[hazy frost]

It’s gonna do that everywhere here 🙏🏻

[wise jay]

those 5 year mortgages are going to kill people

[hazy frost]

I love when average salary is like 35k and house is like 450k

What a time to be alive

[deep sapphire]

It’s kinda amazing the market hasn’t had a correction yet and it’s also extremely worrying because when it does happen it’s gonna be 2008 bad

[dire viper]

yea..

have you seen how many of these houses have been bought by people who were convinced to buy a house during the insane prices as an investment?

almost feels like a psyop or something cause these people really did take out 500-700k loans and will never see a return cause nobody will rent at what they need to make to pay the mortgage

[deep sapphire]

Housing values typically are fairly safe but the tech stocks make no sense to me like they are being artificially pumped to no end

[dire viper]

yuh

[wise jay]

surely nvidia is worth 1000 usd a share

[dire viper]

only tech companies that make sense are ones that actually have diversified income

which NVIDIA does not

I should have invested in exotic alloy companies earlier smh they are doing very well cause everybody needs that shit now

[hazy frost]

It made sense when it was actually going up but why anyone would own it now idk

It’s not going to make u anything now

[dire viper]

every new car has inconel thats why we smoke that inconel pack

[wise jay]

the only worth while thing to do is try and guess when theyll jump or plummet in price so you can yolo tech options

[hazy frost]

I mean u can make educated guesses

But insider trading :(

[cold yacht]

stocks just feels long term gambling

[hazy frost]

Index funds are the best investment

Or just like HYSA

[cold yacht]

and my zoomer brain needs instant satisfaction so thats why i go to the casino

[dire viper]

brazil is the worlds largest exporter of vanadium, invest in brazil 🇧🇷

[hazy frost]

Real

[wise jay]

they kind of are gambling. Options are full on gambling

[hazy frost]

The best way to invest is have it be part of ur job benefits

Stock options as a benefit goes hard

especially if ur company matches any investments u put in or whatever

U can make decent money

Long term

[wise jay]

eh. It can be risky though. I had alot of coworkers freaking out during covid because shit plummeted

[hazy frost]

Just don’t freak out

It’ll probably go back up

Selling when it’s just plummeted is like

Actually stupid

Like you basically lost all ur money anyway why would u now choose to sell it

[dire viper]

buy high sell low thats the california way

[hazy frost]

Based

[wise jay]

well yeah. Most people arent going to actually sell but its a harsh drain on your pysche

[hazy frost]

That’s why it’s good if it’s like 2/3 money ur employer matched on ur investments

Ur losing a lot less money in theory

[dire viper]

just dont look at it and let an independent broker manage it

[hazy frost]

And long term u likely don’t lose anything

[cold yacht]

i just be browsing tesla investor subreddit to see cope and meltdowns

shit was great when tesla fell to like 140

[hazy frost]

You’d have to have the stocks drop a lot to lose money if ur company is matching ur investments for u

But I’d rather just put it all in index funds for investments

SP500 crazy

[dire viper]

when will tesla actually make money

[wise jay]

after chapter 11

[dire viper]

there is another big company that is also under the same thing rn

forget what company it was but apparently they were doing the whole "lose money for 15 years and then hope you start making some"

[dire viper]

holy shit

[hazy frost]

We need a Cybertruck 2

[deep sapphire]

That thing looks pretty well used hahaha

[hazy frost]

I think

That’ll fix it

[dire viper]

I like how Lucid loses 100k on every car they sell but idk what the fuck else they do but its currently offsetting the losses

[hazy frost]

Lucid is based Idc what they’re doing

Actually good product

[dire viper]

think they have consultation contracts with other car companies cause they do all the design stuff for Formula E so they must know something

[deep sapphire]

Making cars is expensive and unless you are a old ass automaker that’s been doing it for ages you aren’t going to be very profitable if at all

[dire viper]

and Formula E has the funny like 240 chargers

[dire viper]

unless you charge an insane amount

to offset

like a lot of companies

[deep sapphire]

Yeah but you don’t have volume then

[dire viper]

yup

Prodrive moment

550k for an impreza

[hazy frost]

I have faith in lucid making money

[hazy frost]

They can replace Tesla one day

I believe

[deep sapphire]

Too soon junior

[dire viper]

well yea they went from 150k loss to 100k loss in 6 months

[deep sapphire]

Tesla stock is exactly why I hate tech bros it’s just all so artificially inflated

[hazy frost]

The lucid air is cool

[deep sapphire]

It’s literally a toxic economy

[hazy frost]

That’s like every tech company stock

[dire viper]

I think once the Gravity comes out all the wealthy ppl will buy it

[hazy frost]

Lol

[deep sapphire]

Right

[hazy frost]

Idk how the air doesn’t replace teslas already it’s literally just a fancier one that seems like a bigger flex
