    For Lexus GX 460 owners

    Is the car truly as indestructible as they say? Long story short my young daughter loves camping and we have been tenting it for 2 years now but my in-laws just bought a lightweight camper (~3600lbs loaded) and they said we can take it whenever we want. We bought an EV this year for day to day...

    Texas mayor says government and utility services owe residents ‘nothing’ as tens of thousands left without power and water

    I heard on NPR that the grid issues are exponentially magnified because Texas in their infinite wisdom decided that they wanted an isolated grid from the rest of the country so they can't get surplus power from the neighboring states like pretty much every other state.

    Looking for mini-itx board for an old 6600K (Skylake)

    Upgraded main machine so I am looking for a cheap board to put my old 6600K into a living room PC. Looks like all the 300 series boards do not support anything older than 8th gen. Would not like to pay an arm and a leg for an older 100 series board. Do I have any other options for something...

    Gotta hand it to Samsung

    Yeah their cheapest SSDs are 5 year. The Pros are 10 year. I don't know why it failed. One day the motherboard just stopped recognizing the drive. It was on my PC solely used for games so didn't really care to just install everything again.

    Gotta hand it to Samsung

    Had a 4 year old 1tb 850 evo fail and when I called them up I got a person on the phone pretty much right away. They sent me a shipping label and in less than a week I had a new drive at my door. Got an 860 back too. All the SSDs I buy are Samsung and they will continue to be in the future.

    2018 Nissan Leaf

    Yeah sorry meant the CAV sticker. Just used to calling it the HOV sticker as it just lets you drive in the HOV lane no matter how many people are in the car.

    2018 Nissan Leaf

    I signed up for the test drive deal where a Nissan rep drives to your house so you can test drive the car wherever you want for an hour or two. Did the drive yesterday. At first I thought that it was going to be someone from a local dealer but it's actually a Nissan rep so there is ZERO sales...

    Official Destiny Thread

    I'm saving my third toon exotic quests for when i hit 299-300 with him. That way I can get a MIDA with 310-315 easy peasy. My first MIDA was 285 did at 260, next MIDA was 298 did at 280, and now going for third at 300. MIDA is the best quest to do for this as you get the mini and multi at almost...

    Luminous engrams are 10 levels above what you are with the possible 15 if they come with legend mod. The humps are 265, 275, 285. Second and third chars will clear you of the humps very fast. I wouldn't bother with the 265 hump on a second and third toon. Do heroic pubs with a group with the...

    Official Destiny Thread

    I need to level up my hunter so I can get my two other toons to 300+. She's lv11 starting out Titan. BTW leveling other chars is the absolute fastest way to hit 300. I got my first warlock to 280 then made a titan, gave him my 285 weapons right when he hit 20 and I got to 280 in 5 minutes by...

    RMA'd my Nexus 6P and Google is giving me a Pixel XL

    Yeah I preordered the phone when it was announced so I got it on launch day. What pisses me off is google knew there was a defect with the phone but they chose to not be proactive about it. It's cool because AMEX is refunding me so I will just get an S8 for me and my wife. Done with Nexus/Pixel...

    RMA'd my Nexus 6P and Google is giving me a Pixel XL

    I called them 3 days ago as my 6P now dies at 30% and they won't do anything. They transferred me to Huawei which wants $200 to supposedly "fix" this garbage. I was going to upgrade to the Pixel 2 but I don't know anymore after this BS. I might just wait for the S8 to go on BOGO as it generally...

    Android O name expected on August 21

    Has anyone been able to get the final version of the OTA to show up with a T-Mobile Nexus 6p? I keep getting the beta and it looks like there is no factory image for TMobile as well? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    ipad mini4

    That's the one that costs $300 now right? I went to BB yesterday and it seems like there are now a million different ipad models. All these new Pro models in different sizes it's hard to keep track.
