  • That’s also been my experience on multiple systems. But one thing that’s seemingly inevitable for me with Arch, things will eventually become flaky and I cannot solve it without a reinstall.

    For instance, when I first got my RX 9070XT on a 3 year old arch install, it worked great. Then Cyberpunk would crash the graphics driver, but only during the benchmark or moving around. 3 months later there was no change. Bought a new PSU cuz I was running one 100w under spec (PowerSpec 650w bronze… bought a Corsair RM1000x) and nope.

    I eventually got fed up and decided to go the immutable route. Works great again.



  • Not related to self driving, but other shitty car design.

    I had a Nissan with a CVT before it was widely known they were garbage. I hit the brakes to avoid someone that ran a red, and the CVT went in to some protection mode and left me and my family stuck in the middle of the intersection for 2 entire light cycles before it’d move again.

    Dealership just kept saying it’s fine and it was protecting the CVT from damage after going from throttle to brake quickly. I don’t give a fuck about the CVT, I care about the squishy bits inside the cabin.

    After it did that again and the power windows stopped working the same day, I traded it in for a Mazda with a proper transmission. 248k miles later it’s still great.




  • My daughter’s dog that is a climber got on a shelf and knocked a basket off that had a large bottle of Tylenol in it. She chewed the bottle up.

    I got home and saw some pills and a demolished bottle on the ground. Vet tech friend said to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide.

    Didn’t have any of that, but I did have some minty mouthwash with peroxide and no xylitol in it. Dog willingly drank it, puked with foam, drank a bit more, puked more foam, then I dug through the mess.

    No pills or any sign of the color on the pills. She’s still kicking.
