    Since novices don't like starting from a stop on hills, "Hill Start Assist" or "Brake Assist" keeps the brakes on when stopped, you're probably using it since it's on by default.

    DDT saved many millions of lives, only caused problems after insanely excessive use. Had to be brought back, especially in places with Malaria.

    It was bought by Jim Halperin in order to promote a pump and dump style Ponzi scheme. He's a member of the WATA board and Heritage auctions (which means he essentially sold it to himself,) he was fined over a mil for doing exactly the same thing in the coin market way back in the 80s.

    Battery/amp have to be load tested to see most problems, volt-meter won't show much unless something is completely dead. Then you'd have the car not starting or the alternator warning light on.

    That's not exactly how to properly test a battery/alternator. That battery definitely wasn't brand new when you bought the car used. Batteries typically last 5 or so years, and your car was nearly 10 years old when you bought it. Dealership not replacing an old battery when flipping a car is...

    Sounds dumb but have you tried a new battery? A new one often fixes quite a few dumb intermittent problems. Basic battery/alternator/ground check might be a good idea.

    Despite the good software/features, MSI uses such poor plastic + QC that those brackets will often break from normal use (happened to me.) Luckily CPUs have had decent thermal protection since at least the 2500k. Sorry you spent x hundred dollars for what could have been a $10 fix, for...

    Marketing is probably behind the misnomer that SUVs handle snow better than smaller cars, and 4wd certainly won't help coasting/braking downhill. Tires are the real concern for snow. Even with just all season tires; snow isn't too bad until the tread gets worn, unless that snow's really deep.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    There's no such thing as a 5950x3d (did you mean 5800x3d?) Funny enough a few months ago Mist was complaining that the 5800x3d was "bad value."

    Subarus eclipsed Volvos sometime after they stopped making those rectangular monstrosities. Corollas always feel that way, but with 20 year old struts and motor mounts it's going to feel like shit on the expressway. Though that car will probably still be on the road after most of the ones...

    1080p doesn't upscale to 1440p very well (unless using FSR,) however it upscales perfectly to 4k, regardless of method. So there's no need to keep a 1080p dinosaur TV around for that. PS5 games are all made with 4k devices in mind, usually have resolution outputs/target frame rates in the options.

    Any 144+ hz monitors will also run at 120hz. Though a 1080p monitor that size would be some fat ass pixels If you're getting a TV there's tons of 40" 4k/120hz models (1080p content looks great on these.)

    Better have a mechanic look at the 150 first, 48k is still an awful lot for something that could have been damaged at some point, or neglected. There's a good chunk of owners that do ZERO maintenance, even oil changes.

    While that's correct, Logitec in particular under-volts the hell out of them, to the point where even a modest amount of wear plus humidity triggers double clicks.
