  • Took me a long time but I settled on Xbox one controllers. I use rechargable batteries but can run the AAs if u want. AA batteries have longer shelf life if u let the controller sit long periods vs rechargeables always seem to discharge. Support in just about every game. Can be had reasonable price on sale now and then and lots of parts available for them. Id never buy a controller with a non replaceable battery!






  • I built my SO gaming rig for about 550 bucks. 5600x ryzen and rx580. Idk if it’s “more powerful” than a console or not but it plays games fine. Yes I know the 580 is dated and only pci3.0 vs board supporting 4.0, but she didn’t have money to spend. I have a 6600xt I got used for a hair over 200 when GPU prices were nuts and it plays all I ask it to at 1080p. You CERTAINLY don’t need to shell out 500 on a GPU that’s ridiculous. I will never understand the dick waving in the PC community about needing the best greatest top of the line and latest hardware to be able to game, when u can spend half the money to get 85% of the performance or something. I am confident for the cost of a PS5 u can rival PS5 performance in a PC build, and even if it’s not “better” the difference in cost of games is enough that a couple game purchases puts you into another class of GPU anyways!





  • As somebody that works on a lot of Chryslers I can tell you I 100% despise theirb"security gateway" nonsense. Scanner has to be connected to vehicle and connected to wifi. You need a monthly subscription to access the security gateway otherwise it locks you out of the vehicle you can’t clear codes nevermind run bidirectional functions or program modules. If everybody had their own nonsense gateway like this, no shops would be able to stay in business everybody would have to go to their respective dealers. How many subscriptions can you expect a shop to hold? It’s pretty ridiculous. It also means if ur off roading in a wrangler and a fluke puts the PCM in limp mode, your not getting out of limp mode in the woods as you don’t in have wifi connection to security gateway. Undoing terminals doesn’t reset these issues anymore. Yes I have seen it happen where new JL wranglers have to lug out of the woods in limp mode over a fluke thing that just needed a computer reset. Yea ill stick to my 87 YJ when I go wheeling.









  • What a load of fear mongering. Instead of having people take accountability for their actions we should require “safety features” that have a direct correlation to increased distracted driving. Maybe if somebody is killed we should make regulations around driving drunk? Oh yea pretty sure that exists. Problem is we have a bunch of steering wheel holders, hardly anybody is a driver anymore. Would lane assist and auto braking have prevented this? Possibly. But would lane assist not keep him barrel assing down the road doing up through the next intersection where somebody may decide to cross the road? This is not a fix. We have ALWAYS had the “technology” to avoid traffic deaths, problem is most people are selfish self centered pricks with but a ball of lint between their ears.
