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.
NGL, that helped me actually understand the original function. It’s been over a decade since I’ve touched anything related to C.
Oh god
Was that the one where the entire screen moved when you pressed it?
It’s VMs within VMs within VMs.
Oooh, interesting
Look, sometimes shit hits the fan right before passdown and there’s nothing you can do about it except bring everyone up to speed.
I think they usually call those “traitors”
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.
It’s a still and quote from the Minecraft movie coming out this year. They did the meme in the movie.
This is coming out on my birthday, and I’m absolutely going. I loooove a good campy movie (and yes, that includes Super Mario Bros from 1993).
The children yearn for the mines
Multiple judges who have blocked Trump actions are Trump appointees.
Was it a Sienna, by chance? I have a 2008 Sienna with an ominous-looking maintenance reminder light.
