That exhaust sound, though...

#

Turn everything except save-game file to read-only.

#

Can't reset controls if can't change them.

#

wow ferrari and john deere owned by the same ppl i guess

restive current
#

I thought JD was US?

cerulean kite
#

"you only sort of own the vehicle"

#

it is but they have pretty restrictive ownership garbage ppl have to deal with too

restive current
#

Oh...that way.

#

Yea.

#

Vendor lock-in + control.

#

'It's not your car! It's the manufacturer's car!'

#

Soon, we're going to be 'licensing' cars for use.

i heard ios16 gunna be bringin ads to our lock screens

#

dystopia lets gooooo

restive current
#

Android, not Apple...though wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

#

Google's 'Glance' application.

#

Or rather, company.

No app download needed. Just enable Glance on your Android phone or buy a Glance-enabled phone.```

ios 16 some are claiming has the ability to allow ads

For me, in Heat, it's 'Print Screen'...

#

Might be the same for you, not sure. Check PC Gaming Wiki.

restive current
cerulean kite
#

dammit u have to open it for it to play

#

oh well

dry copper
dreamy zinc
#

found it

#

jeezus

#

XD

#

its an M3 E46 tho

#

idk why the never add back the gtr to nfs games

#

sorry not sorry

#

XD

#

audio is all that matters XD

cerulean kite
#

what is this grand turdisimo

#

jk love gran turismo

dreamy zinc
#

_> its nfs 2016 tho

#

XD

cerulean kite
#

on the nurburburgergerring?

dreamy zinc
#

and the YT is IRL m3 gtr XD

cerulean kite
#

ohhh real person on nubergring

dreamy zinc
cerulean kite
#

you get that M3 in heat also

dreamy zinc
#

same badass audio?

cerulean kite
#

but not gtr i guess? idk i sold it immediately

dreamy zinc
#

then it probably aint the gtr

#

XD

#

no-one sells the gtr XD

cerulean kite
#

its one of the ones you cant really modify and i hate those spoilers so much

dreamy zinc
#

at least i wont

cerulean kite
#

you can also buy it again at the dealership if u really want it, once its unlocked

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

ffing a that dude is blasting through the nurburg ring

restive current
# dreamy zinc

That's not the true GTR, though...just the normal M3 with a body-kit.

cerulean kite
#

yeah i know

restive current
#

Although in Heat, you can swap the engine to the real GTR and...well...

cerulean kite
#

oh wait what nvm

dreamy zinc
restive current
dreamy zinc
#

XD

restive current
#

But, in Heat...you can turn a normal M3 into a GTR.

cerulean kite
#

i like engine swapst, slap a v8 in a civic and see what happens

restive current
#

Quite literally...except for wheels.

dreamy zinc
#

if audio not same

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

it aint gtr

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

also think gtr engine was quite unique tho

restive current
#

You get it after beating the story.

cerulean kite
restive current
#

And unlocked at the dealer too...

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

but thats as far as my limited car knowledge go

restive current
cerulean kite
restive current
#

So...

dreamy zinc
#

if you havent checked the YT video yet

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

you should

#

XD

#

it sounds so good

cerulean kite
#

god, the new burger ring is such a long track

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

cerulean kite
#

i think i did a 50 lap endurance race on it in GT2 and wanted to die

dreamy zinc
#

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

restive current
#

Hans Stuck's GTR videos are the only ones, apparently...and all from cockpit.

#

The transmission whine is...loud.

restive current
cerulean kite
#

because you got sweet rewards for winning endurance races

dreamy zinc
cerulean kite
#

whats his lap time, we can get average velocity

restive current
# dreamy zinc if audio not same

The thing is...the audio is probably from the real GTR, but the transmission whine is tied to the engine rather than transmission...TBH, other cars get their own transmission whines, but...seriously, they just mashed it in the engine audio file rather than make it dynamic...

#

So it's a pain.

restive current
dreamy zinc
restive current
#

That's the Nurburgring, right?

cerulean kite
restive current
dreamy zinc
#

but end has like 20 sec of trailing pit talk

#

not sure if they cut a part out tbh

restive current
#

I haz no idea how a proper race car does 12 minutes.

cerulean kite
#

so like a mile a minute

dreamy zinc
#

could be mutliple laps

#

idk

#

XD

cerulean kite
#

thats highway speeds

#

lame

#

nah the ring is 13 miles long

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

also

cerulean kite
#

maybe two laps?

dreamy zinc
#

tourist cars on field

cerulean kite
#

average 120 mph?

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

no desc says 1 lap

cerulean kite
#

probably closer

restive current
#

GTR tops out at 210 KM/H...

cerulean kite
#

oh, then yeah, average 60 mph kinda low

restive current
#

With stock transmission.

dreamy zinc
#

that all cars mixed

#

but idk

restive current
#

Ah...yea, makes sense. I think he was stuck behind a couple of racers at times?

#

Not sure.

cerulean kite
#

i didnt watch too closely

restive current
#

I thought all of them were racers rather than civilian traffic.

#

But yea, the GTR isn't really that fast.

dreamy zinc
#

This is a classic video and it can be found everywhere on the net. It's an absolute must-see, if you love the Nordschleife or want to learn the track. Watch Hans-Joachim Stuck carve through traffic in his BMW M3 GTR on his way to a record-setting lap, and hear his insightful turn-by-turn commentary.

This video is a mashup of two other video...

β–Ά Play video
#

there

#

with commentary

restive current
#

It barely accelerated in 5-6 gear...and the straights are a pain.

#

I put the transmission ratios of the GTR in the real MW...car is a pain to drive.

cerulean kite
#

hmm yeah i guess 120 average wouldnt make too much sense if tops out at 130

restive current
#

First gear is way too long, other 5 gears are excessively short.

#

So it's...going to be slow.

cerulean kite
#

i figured it would be all modded up though

dreamy zinc
#

ah

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

so basically 2 mins of arm up

restive current
#

Around 270 or so lb.-ft.

dreamy zinc
#

he does it in 8 mins then

cerulean kite
#

also, average speed of 120mph is F1 speeds so

restive current
#

It's not much.

#

On top of that, drag and it's not that small a car.

cerulean kite
#

as i educate myself it seems 60mph average closer to reality for that car

restive current
dreamy zinc
cerulean kite
#

that would be 97mph/156kph

#

pretty good

restive current
#

I went through that while modifying Most Wanted game files.

#

Both of the GTR videos.

dreamy zinc
#

the commentary is nice tho

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

tire are cold

restive current
#

Semi-simulator, done fully on key-board...

dreamy zinc
#

yadyada

#

full throttle

dry copper
restive current
#

So yea, GTR would only be slightly slower.

restive current
#

Till...you end up losing rear grip and slam into the wall... πŸ˜†

restive current
#

That McLaren video was a pain to do on a KB...AI is tough, so...

dreamy zinc
#

was stuck behind a few cars too

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

i want the car but i also dont

restive current
#

444 HP and 354 lb.-ft. of torque...

dreamy zinc
#

with the fuel prices XD

cerulean kite
#

yall gunna make me go home and play NFS instead of GTA

restive current
#

Heat doesn't have the same engine...has to be the street GTR's engine.

#

I knew it.

#

Pretty sure race engines don't even exist at this point, except for one or 2.

#

Putting a 730 HP 6.5L V12 in an M3 E92...crazy enough?

cerulean kite
restive current
#

Still not sure what car that engine is from...I think the Huayra...

cerulean kite
#

sounds totally reasonable to me

restive current
#

Now that's a whine.

#

I want some smooth engines, though...with no whine...or only very slight.

cerulean kite
#

are the electric cars in NFS any fun? i could buy a polestar but also feel like i wont enjoy it because no vroom vroom

dreamy zinc
#

why not

#

and no "battery"

cerulean kite
#

yeah i know about that but idk, i like the vroom vroom

dreamy zinc
#

play the gtr sound in the background

#

XD

shy dome
#

anybody here play Risk of Rain 2?

cerulean kite
#

recently someone im aware of hydroplaned and crashed their tesla, and i was thinking that "hmm maybe instant torque application to drivetrain is more dangerous in low friction conditions"

Hybrids, yes. Full electrics, no...

Polestar One and the Koenigsegg Regera are the only hybrids, I think.

no risk of rain here, like freaking 30 celsius at midnight

Not anymore

#

Wasn't even that bad when it first came out

glass plinth
#

BK, I sympathize

#

Im sitting in a chair utterly soaked by a hose after watering the last 2 hours outisde

#

So you made it past another year. Thats a achievement these days lol

finite hazel
glass plinth
#

104f now

finite hazel
#

last couple of nights, like, just terrible

glass plinth
#

40c

#

Wait where are you Bk?

finite hazel
#

we're reaching 45C in some areas of the - Portugal

glass plinth
#

OOOOH!

#

Yeah, that sums up what it was like here last year for 2 weeks

#

Hi 47c

#

stayed there for days

finite hazel
#

gods

glass plinth
#

Yeah that was NOT normal

#

It gets 40c here all the time, thats the hot part of summer for a few weeks. Off and on

#

118 f is just unheard of

finite hazel
#

that's "give me my exosuit extreme heat s-class module" weather

glass plinth
#

Yeah

#

Sigh

finite hazel
#

yeah, it's getting pretty crazy

glass plinth
#

Unfortunately with the thermal momentum totally fed up around the world due to the oceans absorbing so much heat, this may be normal for the next 300 years.

finite hazel
#

wild fires are really starting to hit everywhere around here.

glass plinth
#

Well, this is oregon

#

Were famous for fires

#

thats just normal here

finite hazel
#

right

#

we as well, we and Spain

#

Greece too

glass plinth
#

Although here is the odd bit with thermal momentum.

finite hazel
#

yeah

#

i don't remember things being quite as extreme as this

glass plinth
#

Rain doesnt disappear. if it doesnt just cease, it can be erratic and not be useful

#

or all the thermal momentum can cause cold spots and wet spots while everyone else cooks

#

thats what hit us this year

#

We had this weird thermal vortex, slammed snow 2 months later then usual into us

#

tons of rain

#

Ill take it lol

finite hazel
#

we're under the influence of an anti-cyclone right now

#

super low humidity, strong winds

#

high temperatures

#

wild fires breeding grounds

glass plinth
#

Sorta scary when you considert the long term impact itll have on food production. We have been eating through world stockpiles for 2 years now

#

Another bad year and the famines start

#

Mind you on a historic scale, this happens quite often.

#

Its just uglier in a modern world with multi billions

#

ANYWHO! I must goooo!

inspiration for a nms base

pearl bough
#

Ok i'm getting pretty desparate here so I'll ask. We moved and hooked up new equipment. The living room has a big samsung tv. Our first smart tv with a rechargeable battery remote from comcast. And for 3 weeks it won't let us eatch tv because it is constantly searching for Como-TT. And turns the tv screen into random dots and patterns. It turns itself on and runs como-tt in the middle of the night as well and wakes us up. So we have had to unplug it. A tech failed to figure it out. But he gave us 3 days off it.

winter yew
#

Sentient tv?

finite hazel
#

so there's no STB?

pearl bough
#

My entire neighborhood is being built and half the homes are still just a cement basement or framing. And the tech told me it could be connecting to bluetooth in a 100 yard radius

pearl bough
finite hazel
#

set top box

pearl bough
#

We have Comcast

finite hazel
#

i mean, the service comes straight to the tv, or does the tv connect via some way to a router?

pearl bough
#

I can't even navigate the settings anymore because it forces this screen 24/7

#

Oh we have a hub in the basement it goes through.

#

The bluray player is in the basement also

#

The tech replaced all that once. And turned off bluetooth connection. Neither has worked

pearl bough
pearl bough
#

So you can turn on the tv via panel on the wall also

#

However the control 4 people told me they have no idea how to connect my phone to it because I'm android and they only work with apple. So that is a separate issue later on. It just affects me live streaming radio broadcasts on youtube through the house. Nothing else

pearl bough
#

We have something named av in the basement

finite hazel
#

those two devices seem to be 1) a noise filter and 2) an extender, using a lan cable (which i assume would connect to the equipment in the basement)

pearl bough
#

Yes

#

Sorry this kind of tech stuff is over my head terminology wise.

#

The media center in the basment is locked. So i can't open the glass to get a picture.

finite hazel
#

i should say that a) i'm slightly drunk and b) i'm not familiar at all with this ISP (i'm from Portugal), but i am very familiar with ISP/IPTV/Internet Access/VoIP services in general

pearl bough
#

Ah ok

#

Spanish is your first language? I studied french in college

finite hazel
#

Portuguese

pearl bough
#

Ah makes more sense

finite hazel
#

πŸ™‚

pearl bough
#

My friends in brazil speak it also

finite hazel
#

anyway, sorry for the questions - i was trying to understand how the whole thing was setup

pearl bough
#

Np

#

Makes sense

finite hazel
#

so uh

#

the TV is supposed to fully boot up

pearl bough
#

This whole neighborhood was an assembly mine with toll brothers. And they work with connect 4

finite hazel
#

and give you a user interface

pearl bough
#

The tv fully boots up. And the second it does it scans for como-tt on the top bar. Than switches to this pothead polkadot shit

#

It will boot itself up in the middle of the night without us using the remote also and do this

finite hazel
#

if i search "commo-tt" on google, it gives me stuff about "how to post on twitter"

#

lmao

pearl bough
#

Lmao

#

It's pretty useless yea

finite hazel
#

google-fu sucks rn

pearl bough
#

Idk wtf como-tt is even

#

But my sister and her friend were lauging their asses off at me at the lakehouse this weekend

finite hazel
#

45M results

pearl bough
#

We've had so many issues with this house in the first 3 weeks

finite hazel
#

--kzzt--

pearl bough
#

I had a day it was frozen when i tried to turn on music on the panel and blasted Q Dance radio. The edm channel from germany

#

And it was loud for the neighbors attached

finite hazel
#

does the word "xfinity" mean anything to you?

pearl bough
#

Until I figured out where the power button was to force reset

pearl bough
#

Monthly with comcast

finite hazel
#

hmm, so it's a package

#

right

#

ok

pearl bough
#

So connect 4 is the smart home tech company. Comcast is the cable. Verizon is the cell phone provider lmao

#

So the tech thought this may be someone forcing their bluetooth to invade our house

#

Like a worker building a home nextdoor who doesn't english might not realize he is sending music to our tv

finite hazel
#

the connect 4 tech?

pearl bough
#

Yea

finite hazel
#

and there's no way they can block that at the hub?

#

that makes no sense

pearl bough
#

The connect 4 tech got it to work for me for 3 days than it's back to this

#

He tried blocking and disabling Bluetooth

#

It bypasses

#

Or it's not bluetooth.

#

No idea how to identify what the hell como-tt even is

finite hazel
#

unless the software isn't actually killing power to the BT chip, i guess it could still be transmitting/receiving somehow

finite hazel
pearl bough
#

Ah ok

finite hazel
#

"xfinity x1"?

pearl bough
#

If i can get the tv to load properly it would let me switch channels like normal. The remote is xfinity

finite hazel
#

found a manual for this, not quite sure what it is yet

pearl bough
#

Let me unplug it. I'll send you a pic once it loads

finite hazel
#

oh its a remote controller?

#

the x1 thing?

pearl bough
#

We have an xfinity remote control. The tv is a samsung smart tv. Possibly oled idk

finite hazel
#

mhm

pearl bough
#

Xfinity cable box is in the basement with the media center.

#

So the connect 4 wall touch screen for the house let's me turn on the tv if I don't want to pick up the remote.

finite hazel
#

yeah, this como-tt thing looks to be some proprietary thing, i can't get any good hits on it

pearl bough
#

Yep i plugged it back in after unplugging it. And it turned itself on

#

It's like being high on magic mushrooms

#

I can hear the local news in the background.

#

No visual

finite hazel
#

so internet is working

pearl bough
#

It's the bluetooth logo

#

And than It takes over.

finite hazel
#

so wait

pearl bough
#

Says play music on your mobile device.

finite hazel
#

the tech thinks this "Como TT" is someone's device?

pearl bough
#

Maybe

#

Yea

#

Can't confirm

#

But it's a possibility it could be any bluetooth in 100 yard radius

finite hazel
#

but a sw reset to defaults should take care of that; besides, the sw is clearly lacking if it doesn't have a way to control which BT mac addresses are allowed?

pearl bough
#

No idea.

finite hazel
#

but a sw reset to defaults should take care of that;

The connect 4 tech got it to work for me for 3 days

pearl bough
#

The problem is this this thing takes over the tv 24/7 so i can't fuss with settings

#

No idea how he got it to stop for 3 days

#

And somehow it started again

finite hazel
#

get the same guy over again

#

πŸ˜„

pearl bough
#

Probably have to.

finite hazel
#

i mean

#

that's super weird

#

one thing you could do

pearl bough
#

This has been 3 weeks if not 4 of no tv since we moved in

#

I mean on thie tv

#

We have an old tv upstairs before smart tv's existed I can use.

finite hazel
#

don't know if you done this already or not, but maybe walking around the neighborhood with a BT scanner, see if you can track down it's location while someone keeps forcing the TV to attempt to connect to it?

pearl bough
#

Is there a phone app? I could try that.

finite hazel
#

possibly

pearl bough
#

Would be better to do it tomorrow wheb the workers are all here.

finite hazel
#

i could help look for one

pearl bough
#

My sister said people fuck with her on flights these days and force their music onto her bluetooth headphones.

pearl bough
#

So it could be intentional sabotage. Or it could be accidental

finite hazel
#

seems to have good reviews

pearl bough
#

I'll try it

finite hazel
pearl bough
#

I hear process of elimination with a bluetooth device can be a pain in the bum

finite hazel
#

and we all know how providers like to defend their customers

pearl bough
#

Yea

#

I've had so many battles over faulty comcast boxes

#

And constant verizon issues with a galaxy note phone

#

I'm fed up with tech corporate giants

finite hazel
#

i really wish you guys had as good as service as we do over here.

#

(fiber to the home connections are common here)

#

we're a small country so that helps ofc

#

smaller investment had to be made

#

anyway

#

i guess yeah, when everybody's around, it would be a good time to scan

pearl bough
#

Yea we get screwed in the US.

#

It's picking up 8 bluetooth devices tonight. 7 plus the samsung tv is number 8

#

Gives a watch logo on the rest

#

Nothing says como-tt

finite hazel
#

so weird

austere lance
#

Jesus, I live in a sketchy apartment complex with a smart TV and don't even have that problem

finite hazel
#

like

#

i don't even get why

#

it's getting stuck on something, when it should just probe for a few secs, unable to connect, move on, give control to user asap

pearl bough
finite hazel
#

i'm really guessing software fault

pearl bough
#

Could be faulty software in the tv. Good point

finite hazel
#

yeah

pearl bough
#

I think it finally stopped for a while. I don't see it pop up

#

And I fussed with that app

#

I told my phone to forget the headset it was paired with. And my mother's car for music

#

Her bmw has been fucking up my phone royally

#

When i try and sync to drive her car

#

Let me unplug the tv and see what happens.

#

And if it works tonight. I wonder if the construction workers tomorrow will do it again

#

Nvm it just started again fuck

finite hazel

😦

pearl bough
#

I got like literally 5 minutes of tv time

finite hazel
#

so you're watching tv, and out of the blue, bam, it goes "connecting to como tt"

pearl bough
#

No. It does it the second you turn on the tv

finite hazel
#

oh

pearl bough
#

You get your tv picture. About to change channel and it forces como-tt

#

And if you go to bed it will turn on and go to como-tt by itself

finite hazel
#

ok yeah, i understood the whole thing the first time, sorry was just confirming

pearl bough
#

Np

#

Probably going in circles if you're drunk lol

finite hazel
#

i'm coming down

pearl bough
finite hazel

but yeah this is crazy

Go to your TV settings and kick anyone connected to it. I think you can password lock TVs too?

pearl bough
finite hazel
#

right

austere lance
#

That's...not supposed to be a thing

pearl bough
#

It's on this pothead screen 24/7

dry copper
#

mmm smart technology

austere lance
#

What happens if you hit the back button on your TV remote

#

Or home button

pearl bough
#

The screen never changes

finite hazel
#

if you disconnect the tv from the hubthing, does it let you go to settings then?

dry copper
#

Or remove the tv from your allowed connections on the wifi

pearl bough
#

I'm listening to the channel I'm on like normal. But i get this visual shit

finite hazel
#

or it doesn't even boot like that?

austere lance

That's not Bluetooth, that's a damn virus or bug πŸ˜†

I got dancing polkadots

#

The connect 4 tech replaced the box already and is positive it's not that.

finite hazel
#

those boxes probably use the same software

#

same version even

austere lance
#

Honestly I'm leaning toward bug, because there is no way that a TV doesn't give you access to its controls. Home button on your TV's remote is supposed to remove you from any app you currently have running and take you to the home screen

shadow tartan
#

Any chance you can get a video on your phone?

pearl bough
#

It's like my tv has the will to rave

finite hazel
#

if it's a bug with the software, either on the tv or on the box, then it will be in all of those models that shipepd with that sw version

shadow tartan
#

Is it like attract mode or something?

pearl bough
#

Also you need a samsung remote for this funky screen

#

Not the xfinity remote

#

And my xfinity remote doesn't have a home button

austere lance

How y'all have a smart TV that's dumber than my low-end one, why tf doesn't the remote have a home button πŸ’€

pearl bough
#

So i got a crazy update

finite hazel

what happened?

pearl bough
#

I unplugged it this time. Normally i lose all sound. I did not lose the sound this time.

austere lance
#

What

finite hazel
#

soundwaves

pearl bough
#

It's weird

#

I hard unplugged the tv. It's worked for weeks

finite hazel
#

the plot thickens

austere lance
#

Your TV is a giant tablet then, tf do you mean it works when it's unplugged πŸ’€

#

Y'all secretly time traveled and brought back the biggest tablet you could find 😭

pearl bough
#

Than it turns itself back to tv And goes back to como-tt

#

And sometimes I get a red dot and it says could not connect to como-tt. And othertimes it does connect

#

The video won't let me post. Probably too big

#

Every time it loads up the dots change

#

I'm not high I swear

#

Did a ghost move into my tv?

Like the first day connect 4 showed us the tv controls from the house wall

#

The touchscreen is by our front entrance

dry copper

I refuse to buy smart tech myself. No blue tooth...it's too easy to pair with hackable systems

The connect 4 tech said it's not the touch screen

And not the box in the basement

People hijack my sisters headphones when she flies for work via bluetooth

I remember when everyone got so worried about people getting their kids chipped by RFID tags with transponder tags...but they don't seem to care that very same technology is stuck in all of their cards and can be read by any douche bag with a cheap scanner for their details enough to spoof their ID

Now some people are worried about tracking chips in their covid vaccines from Bill Gates instead lmao

Even today colleges still promote LinkedIn, another sharing service as some haven for job seekers, all the while ignoring the hundreds even thousands of fake employers on it that use it to phish for personal info

pearl bough

Amyways, I'll ask dad to call connect 4 tomorrow and send the tech back out

pearl bough

He was grooming me to be more professional

dry copper

The number and variety of types of hacks in the information age is absolutely incredible

pearl bough

Yes

#

I get a dozen robo calls a day and scam texts

dry copper

We got people who literally spoof car keys now and steal hundred thousand dollar cars with $12 technology

#

Keyless entry using the very same RFID tech

#

They don't even have to spoof the car owners keys. They can spoof a manufacturers key

pearl bough

If I had the inclination and the money, I'd split my land in two and have a second house built on my property and use it for social services as a low income lot ensuring the costs for rent never exceeded the maintenance and running of the property - Then I'd start a NGO and register it so I wouldn't have to pay taxes on my property anymore.

Oh they had to replace brand new windows they installed also.

One didn't line up with the window next to it.

I mean the trim or whatever it's called where it separates the two panes so you can open

#

The cabinets needed some doors replaced. They were installed slanty

The list goes on

#

They rush to build make their money and move on to a new neighborhood

Broken assembly line.

It actually pays more to have it broken to start with. More money for repairs.

I thought at first it might be because of the angle...left is slightly closer...

Oh...not that way...

I took the pic at an angle

restive current

I mean the window to the left of the TV looks bigger than the window to the right.

restive current

Same shape and similar size, but...somehow, looking different.

Also lowe's said the blinds are too long for the tiny windows so they will warp over time
