DreadPirateRoberts replied to p1 ama on Would an Independent Mechanic Understand The Electronic Parts of Newer / Modern Cars?

DreadPirateRoberts commented on Aren't we obsessed with SUVs?
I've always been a fan and big proponent of sedans / hatchbacks / coupes. The problem is that because so many cars are SUVs / utes their…
DreadPirateRoberts replied to boomramada on Have I Misunderstood How to Claim Car Insurance When Not at Fault?
Your No Claim Discount disappears though if you make a claim, even when you're not at fault
There's definitely a limit to that. Cars in the last 10 years? Sure, safe enough. Cars from the 90s with one airbag and no ABS? Your…
DreadPirateRoberts commented on [PS4] God Of War 3 Remastered $9.95 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I wish they still had a GoW collection. Jarring for the missus to jump straight into GoW3 without playing the first two (from a story…
Checked all the major retailers and they're all out of stock. I can't even be sure they had any to begin with - e.g PCCaseGear has like 6…
Hmm rebuilding a media library is a pain. I have a bunch of TV shows and movies where the torrents just don't exist anymore for them. RAID…
Celeron won't be able to transcode 4k nicely. The Celeron in my NAS can't even transcode 1080p with PGS subtitles without lagging. Not sure…
DreadPirateRoberts replied to GordonD on Brand New Hyundai Kona N Car Repair in The First 45 Days of Purchase
So to be fair, I don't think OP is completely full of it. I have a Hyundai too and there was a recall in the US for the fuel pump control…
Basically. Found quoting between NSW and Vic was about 20% dearer in Vic. They don't really explain why but some propeller head has…

Near Geraldton
Thanks, will take a look
It's a manual diesel Hyundai Terracan. Surprisingly very capable little car but has a lot of weird quirks. We needed a proper 4WD to visit…
It's a thought but the drive is min. 40hrs and I'm not willing to take that much time off work
Hmm I'll look into it but not sure how many removalists do a WA -> VIC trip (especially because it's not near Perth) Unfortunately it…

Incredibly bizarre. I've never heard of that happening. It's unfortunate but a format and reinstall of Windows might be a solution you need…

Just saw you got it working on Firefox. One thing you can check in Chrome is the developer console and see what's failing (it might be…

I've had this issue but on Linux. Corrupted my Firefox install somehow so some pages would randomly crash. Sounds like the browser engine…
I honestly don't know what happened. I had braked hard, the dashcam beeped to let me know it was saving, and then I went to hit the button…
DreadPirateRoberts commented on Quick Question about Dashcam Crash
