100% on all points. I used to be a mechanic, and I DIY 99% of my vehicle’s needs (except windshields, tires, and full alignments - simply for lack of equipment). Very important to get the codes, because, for example, a P0456 could be caused by something as simple as a loose gas cap (95% of the time), or something could be wrong with the evap system.
Though I’m curious what car you had that tripped the check engine light like that… 🤔
You’re getting downvoted, but I work in the industry (GF, Intel, TI, TEL, Screen) and have heard horror stories from people who have worked on TSMC and even Samsung sites.
one of which is routine maintenance like oil (5k miles these days) […] On most cars, if it blinks when starting up then goes away, it’s time to change the oil. If it stays on, it’s past time and/or there’s another sensor tripping.
The “check engine” light will never illuminate for an oil change reminder. If the vehicle is equipped as such, it’ll have a separate “maintenance reminder” light.
It takes like 30 sec to diagnose at any auto parts store,
Pulling codes ≠ diagnosing
If you’re taking it to a parts store to pull the codes, get the specific codes and nothing else. Don’t listen to the parts store guys, they are there to sell you parts.
No… That’s the oil change indicator. Different lights.
Zip-up hoodies are the only sweaters I wear.
I, too, remember the times when we had to sacrifice a robot every time we wanted to connect to the internet.
Oh god
Antelope Island in Salt Lake, Utah has a herd of bison that are carefully managed. There’s a restaurant on the island as well that serves bison burgers.
Was that the one where the entire screen moved when you pressed it?
It’s VMs within VMs within VMs.
Oooh, interesting
I think they usually call those “traitors”
A blown headgasket could be the worst culprit. Less expensive is the cooling fan(s) and/or fan controller could have died, or the water pump failed somehow. Even cheaper is the thermostat, or the serpentine belt.
Maybe you already got it resolved, but just in case for those who might need some guidance… There you go.
LMDE is great. I run it on my Thinkpad T14 G1. Runs like a champ, and after installing tlp, it manages to eke out almost 7 hours of battery life with a questionable battery.
I’ll be switching from Windows 10 to LMDE on my desktop gaming PC at some point soon this year. I have no intention of letting Microsoft dictate what I can and can’t do on my custom PC that I built with my own hands. W11 further reduces that capability.
Debian is the stable friend who might not have all the answers at the moment but can help you with whatever you need to do, and does it without ever asking for anything in return.
Debian is love, Debian is life.
I been trying to find old Kindles for sale
Try “Unclaimed Baggage”. We got our kids kindles through them.
My lawyer has one of those. It’s pretty cool.
USB-C uses the DisplayPort protocol in many cases.
I don’t care if settings are done by GUI or terminal, I just want clear and concise descriptions for specific settings and not a condescending “go read the man pages you fucking noob”. I’ve been fucking with Linux for over a decade now; a lack of clear documentation is not my problem, and at this point is unacceptable.
Was it a Sienna, by chance? I have a 2008 Sienna with an ominous-looking maintenance reminder light.
