This guy that was heading up another project at my job is shifting over to being the senior engineer over me and he's pissing me the fuck off
Everything we do is in company timezone and he told me a meeting time in my timezone while booking me for 2 separate meetings at the same time
One of which was double booked against one of my existing meetings with him in Teams
So I didn't fucking see it and was thinking oh I have until 10 to get this done cool, right on time
So it's not ready for that surprise meeting and he lit my ass up for it for no reason

That's annoying af :/

I showed afk for like 25mins bc I was on this laptop looking at the slack channel for a vendor of ours for help
And he literally asked for what channel I was in and when the thread was from etc wanting to verify I wasnt lying
Absolutely deranged.
inland mauve
he is wasting so much of his own time doing shit like that
he's a seagull manager
comes in
screams at everyone
shits all over everything
leaves
the only reason why I've lasted this long in my own job is because my own manager is a chill guy, but there are many other reasons why I'm looking for a new job
if he was like that I would've quit a looong time ago
if you want to salvage the situation you could try talking to him and setting some boundaries
but tbh it might be wise to prepare your resume
there is a good chance the reason why he was changed to your project is because the previous project didn't work under him
odd sand
Nah their current one is finishing is why
He seemed really chill before now so it took me by surprise and Im hoping once this particular project is done (which is today) he will be better bc I can set out dates with him for other stuff

This job is wild I have to use a nail gun to put this end cap on but I have to spread the work piece apart precisely and the only way to do that is with my hand pushing it over and then using a nail gun within a quarter of an inch

sly elk
he's a seagull manager
I LOVE that description
reminds me of a term in aerospace "tiger team"
when a project is behind schedule they 'send in' a group of people to.. be seagulls really
ultimately it's just to shake loose any process issues or team issues that are slowing down progress
I've seen the seagull manager thing shake out almost exactly like that before though

I just liked the g16 because it was a bit lighter
but lenovo looks good + I love the color
potent arrow
I usually rec legions to everyone and my clients
I'm even using one so
tbh the weight thing is gonna hefty either way due to the size and it being a gaming laptop right
both are fairly slim so backpack will be fine
I will say the display on the g16 will be MUCH better
it's OLED and 240hz

I wouldn’t buy any laptop with an i9 in it
potent arrow
so that's the other reason to choose that
potent arrow
both laptops have adequate cooling solutions
hazy frost
They don’t
potent arrow
and have good track records
I literally have two in the workshop and have bought them for clients
they are fairly common models
hazy frost
If u think they have adequate cooling for a 14th gen i9 you are delusional
It’s just a bad idea
Also on top of it considerably less power efficient than any of the AMD ones so if u do ever want to use it on battery that’s not great

Do you recommend if I hold off just for a while longer when I am permanently settled & invest in a gaming PC (I'd have more than enough savings by that point as well), it would be better?
I just don't like PC's because they are so not portable
I had a really good PC that I ended up giving away because simply I couldn't take it with me (it was too big and heavy)
paper tusk
next gen portable x86 cpus are goung to be real nice but it's going to be a hot minuet before they result in notebooks
that lso doesn't help in term of dedicated graphics
2000 bucks though you should be able to get a lot more bang for the buck :/
4080 kind of big gpu bang
(jurt turn the overclocking off, elevate the back off the desk for air flow and it should be fine. if noisy)
modern iris
Thank you - in terms of work then - would the asus be better since it's battery is 10 hours (not gaming just work like word documents, pdf's emails etc)
That way, at least I can benefit from the asus as being for work if I decide to later on buy a PC
I really like the lenovo legion - but maybe the asus would be more work friendly?
paper tusk
the asus is going to have much better battery life outside a power adapter
not 10 hours but 8 hours should be easy
maybe 9 hours

When the 7000 came out it was only as fast as the 5800x3d and that was a much bigger jump
7600 and 7700 are very similar in practice

i'm sorry but i was picturing the golf cart scenes from "Jackass" when I was reading that
yea chatgpt gave me something similar but not as funny
As a vehicle maintenance enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of using EZBake Brake Cleaner on the brakes of my electric golf cart, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. This product is incredibly effective at removing dirt, grime, and brake dust, leaving the components spotless and functioning optimally. The fast-drying formula ensures that there's no residue left behind, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the braking system. Additionally, the spray nozzle is designed for precision, making it easy to reach those tight spots. Overall, EZBake Brake Cleaner is a top-notch product that delivers outstanding performance for electric golf cart maintenance. Highly recommended!
I feel like it would be easy to write something much funnier
Here's another shot at making the AI funny:
As a Southern alligator keeper who enjoys a stiff drink and a smooth ride, I gotta say, EZBake Brake Cleaner is a real gem for my electric golf cart’s brakes. This cleaner slices through grime like my favorite bourbon cuts through the heat, and the fast-drying formula leaves everything clean as a whistle. Plus, the lavender scent had my wife thinking I was stepping out on her—until she saw how spotless the brakes were! Highly recommend it, y’all!

its kinda hard to say because we dont really know what the game will entail. a benchmark is literally what it means, a benchmark for your computer
its supposed to stress test it in situations that are unlikely in the real game
but if you do have them, then try those suggestions above
specially XMP, its not on by default and you leave a lot of performance on the table

that's usually for power charging
if the cable is too long, it has too much resistance for power charging

I dunno but it’s sexy
dire viper
apparently it was Mobil 1
lol
so they had the full Cadillac racing crew out to do this
and yea in a roll race there is nothing on the street that can beat the cadillac
the hybrid mode requires dumping the clutch for the V8 to drag start so it loses acceleration
and the only reason they use hybrid systems is fuel efficiency during the races and then also its the fastest way to get up to pit speed so you can get out of the pit faster
deep sapphire
Doesn’t the corvette e ray use a similar system
dire viper
yea
it doesnt clutch dump tho
the clutch dump is super rough and you will just lose traction
the e ray actually matches the rpm's of the motor to the V8 then starts it as soft as possible cause obviously you dont want an instant full 3500 pounds on the driveline under a hard load

And it's up to the drive to say "Oh hey, I'm having issues"
late basalt
cerulean talon
That drive has no errors.
deep sapphire
When you see “reallocated sectors” that literally means parts of the drive are essentially ruined for good and your drive is moving that content to another one

That means that drive is toast and is near complete failure

oh, have fun with the markup

This thing literally just closes the contactors, buffers the 12v system, and doesn't charge when it's plugged into a L2 charger. xD
deep sapphire
An EV using a lead acid battery. 12v auxiliary?
cerulean talon
Yeah, it's an aux.
Pretty much every EV uses one for booting up.
It doesn't charge when you're plugged in, as the DC -> DC converter from the traction pack isn't activated, but the screen in your car is on while it charges. xD
deep sapphire
Tesla converted their 12v to 48v didn’t they

The real answer is to just unplug the car when it's done charging rather than leaving it tethered to my house.
My issue is one of my roomies decided to plug it in after I'd unplugged it and I didn't notice for a week.
deep sapphire
Honestly that’s kinda silly though that seems like a common enough situation
Like what if you didn’t drive for a few days and left it charged
cerulean talon
That's usually fine.
late basalt
i feel like that's a failure of the charging station design too
deep sapphire
EV bros not good…
cerulean talon
The issue is that the charge cycle turns on the screen, which is ran off 12v, and 12v doesn't charge until the contactor's on.
deep sapphire
Better stick to the Chevy small block
cerulean talon
i feel like that's a failure of the charging station design too
It's more a failure of the way charging happens. xD
late basalt
like if it's fully charged up, kill off the charging cycle until the plug's physically removed and put back in

Essentially, the charging is only designed to load up your traction pack, either AC in or DC in.

Not a bad idea tbh, I'll have to check and see if there's any firmware updates, but I haven't got notice of one either.
deep sapphire
I’ve heard Subaru USA is pretty decent about that stuff
cerulean talon
I've never really had an issue with them, and the battery's not utterly dead, it contacts fine, I just have to be more careful about it.
Which part of that is I just don't drive enough.
deep sapphire
also I dunno why I didnt suggest this earlier but couldnt you just ask your roomate to give you a jump
at least enough juice to get the system energized
cerulean talon
I did.
It just drained the battery enough that it's unhappy taking a full charge and holding it.
I've got the self-jumper in the car in case something happens, I just prefer to keep ahead of things.
deep sapphire
lmao wtf
cerulean talon
Lead-acids are already unhappy enough in 100+ degree heat, you're lucky to get 2-3 years out of a nice AGM out here.
deep sapphire
AGM are typically more reliable than older lead acid type cause they are designed for multiple small loads
but fair I guess
I dunno that car is too new for an OEM battery to fail like that
you got bumper to bumper warranty?
late basalt
probably get declined because "user error" or some stupid shit
cerulean talon
Yeah, I've considered hauling it to subaru, but every report I've read is that getting that 12v replaced (I'm not the first person this has happened to, unusrprisingly), is a several-week wait at the least.
As it is, I'm just watching the charge time more closely and taking it out a bit more.
deep sapphire
supposedly this forum poster said subaru had an update last year that will automatically shut accessory mode off if no activity is detected in 5 minutes

you could just jack up the FSB like crazy and get 4 GHz out of a 2.4 GHz CPU

you can get gaming performance or creative performance

i think that was most notable with amd
where the 7950x3d is notably worse than a 7800x3d in almost everything I think?
and workstation motherboards cost way too much

maybe not best but you can certainly have a pretty decent jack of all trades with an X800 series processor or X700K

An SS model was introduced for the 2006 model year. This was the first time a production SUV wore the Super Sport badge, which was first introduced with the 1961 Impala.[6] The TrailBlazer SS came standard with a 6.0L LS2 V8 engine which produced up to 395 bhp and 400 lb-ft (540 nm) of torque, the same standard engine as the 2005–2007 C6 Corvette, except with different exhaust (more restrictive) and a taller intake manifold to better use the engine's torque characteristics in the much heavier body. The suspension was stiffened and lowered from the factory, with an air-leveling system in the rear, and rode on 20 in (510 mm) wheels wearing 255 mm (10.0 in) wide tires—all which contributed to much improved handling. The TrailBlazer SS also came with a 4.10 rear axle ratio, improving off-the-line acceleration, and was available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. About 1.7% of total TrailBlazer production had the SS package (Regular Production Option code B4U).[7]

Gonna help my friends put in some techron and the aftermarket module that disables ecomode on their Odyssey bc the engine is rough atm
deep sapphire
oh the cylinder deactivation shit in the 3.5 going out? lmao
odd sand
The ecomode parks the pistons for too long so they dry out and gum up, then damage the piston rings
deep sapphire
you'd think these companies would get the fuckin picture that we dont want this shit and if its gonna completely destroy your engine at 100,000 miles thats inexcusable
odd sand
So the recommendation is to simply get the module that turns that shit off and run some techron thru it to clean out the gunk and expand the rings slightly to counteract the dmg
deep sapphire
I may buy a chevy 2500 just so I can get the 6.6 engine as it doesnt include cylinder deactivation
odd sand
And yep, it's only at 108k miles. No reason for it to be as rough as it is atm
odd sand
I think the deactivation is fine in the V8s since it can turn off exactly half, whereas I think with the V6 it has to cycle thru 2 or something
They don't cover it for 2016, only 2013 and earlier bc of a court case
They wanted to charge them $3500 to rebuild the motor
And ppl on the Odyclub forum said it's usually not worth it bc half the time they don't put it back together right and other shit goes wrong then lol
They do the ecomode thing for CAFE credits
But yeah it only helps by like 1-2mpg
deep sapphire
I think the deactivation is fine in the V8s since it can turn off exactly half, ...
It works assuming you have good oil pressure
When you don’t the lifters get stuck closed

Nah
There is a hot rivet that goes through the whole leaf spring
The welds keep the shackles from moving which is what causes the rivets to shear off
They start twisting and tap the leaf spring and eventually loosen themselves to the point where they will rattle themselves apart

my truck has that and a nut on the top
was a nightmare to take off while trying to replace the axle shackle bolts
