  1. Games to play with young kids (4 yr old)

    Hi all I'm looking for suggestions of games to play with young kids. To give you an idea, I've had some success with Plants vs Zombies (the original), Kerbal Space Program (which degenerates into watching rockets blow up after about 5 minutes), and arcade-y racing games like Asphalt 8 (I...

  2. I've gone electric

    Good idea -- I was in the same boat: commute changing to all in-town, plus free electric car charging at work. Now I've driving an eGolf about 5000 miles, and the trip computer reports an average speed of 17 mph. I'm happy that I didn't get a GTI, and I still have fun with the instant torque...

  3. Matlab, hardware

    How familiar are you with writing parallel Matlab code? Lots of Matlab is single threaded, but you can force it to run "stupidly parallel" operations with functions like parfor and blockproc. Unless you're processing 1000's of images or huge datasets, I don't think it's worth spending on a...

  4. Iphone 7 Plus photos question

    why not iTunes?

  5. BMW i3 electric car used prices are looking attractive

    A 2014 Leaf with <20k miles is less than $10k. Is the i3 really worth double the price of a Leaf? The REX model is only worth it if you reprogram it to allow you to manually control the REX engine. If you live in California and need the HOV sticker to commute, there is some possibility they...

  6. Black Friday Builds - DIY Router

    Between the router botnet hacking and the build-your-own-router article over at Ars Technica, I've decided to put together my own pfSense router. It seems like most people run pfSense on a mini-computer like a NUC rather than building a full system -- this makes sense to me based on space...

  7. $55k SUV/Crossover

    I looked at Macan's this weekend (for my wife) and I was unimpressed. They had a nice demo-model Macan in the showroom at $98K USED, but the cheapest ones on the lot were $62K with pretty much the same 2.0L 4-cylinder as a $25K VW GTI (with a very mild ECU tune). The only options on the $62K...

  8. cheap PowerEdge T20 home server (freenas)

    That's a good question -- I suspect my ancient EVGA X58 board doesn't support ECC memory. Perhaps ECC is overrated, though it seems to be a matter debated frequently. I'll have to look up the model number of that board when I get home. If I do keep the X58, I should get a a more efficient PSU...

  9. cheap PowerEdge T20 home server (freenas)

    Hi all I'm thinking of replacing my old i7-920 / Ubuntu file server (no RAID, but with CrashPlan) with a slightly more modern setup using a PowerEdge T20, Freenas, RAIDZ2, and CrashPlan. I don't have a hard budget, but I don't want to waste $$$ either. I want this to be a file server, backup...

  10. Do you think that Ford will ever bring back the Thunderbird?

    ...but so many of these cars are/were just ugly :) ... or they were driven by old people without kids Generally all of these cars were sold beside identical 4-door models (or very similar 4-door models). They sacrifice convenience of 4 doors for a little bit of "style". From the 80s onward...

  11. 2004 Buick Century: AC barely cools

    If the AC compressor spins when the AC is turned on (if it is *barely* cooling then this is the case!) then you've got a 95% chance of fixing your A/C easily at home with something like this: http://acprocold.com/ac-pro-instructions/ ...just check out their Youtube video. It's really that...

  12. Good lease for under $300/month?

    Does your friend have a place to charge an electric car? Or interested in a Chevy Volt? You can get any of the following: Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, VW eGolf, Chevy Volt, Chevy Sonic EV, or Fiat 500e for $2500 to $5500 down and less than $150/month. (Any if/when they renew the CA EV rebate...

  13. Which auto brands have auto parking? (comparison)

    By auto-parking do you mean auto-parallel-parking? (A feature that uses ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers with computer-controlled electric power steering to maneuver cars into parallel parking spaces.) If so, the first cars I remember seeing advertised with this feature are Fords. As far as I...

  14. Integrated video cutting out on Shuttle box

    I will do this as soon as I get a chance. I've also thought about plugging it into a Kill-a-watt just to see what the power draw is. If I'm getting up to the limit of the 300W power supply I'd get a bit worried. I did run it for a weekend using Prime95 back when I built it with no problems...

  15. Integrated video cutting out on Shuttle box

    Answers: H170 chipset does not support overclocking CPU: i7-6700 Dell 27" ultrasharp monitor (works fine with other computers) @ native resolution of 2560x1440 Both HDMI and Displayport have been tested, using Amazon and Dell cables Powersupply included with the Shuttle box. It is 300W Bronze...

  16. Integrated video cutting out on Shuttle box

    Hi everyone I've got a ~1 month old Shuttle box (SH170R6) with LGA1151 / H170 chipset. I'm just doing 2D display work with it, so I am using the integrated video. Unfortunately, the video will occasionally go black. This happens on both the DP and HDMI outputs. It happens in Windows as well...

  17. New JD Power Rankings for 2013 Dependability

    Almost as baffling is their recommendation of the notoriously unreliable Mini Cooper as a "dependable" sporty compact!

  18. Yet another car buying thread!

    While I haven't test driven either of these models, the summary of most reviews / comparisons are that the ST and WRX are a bit rough around the edges. Great track cars, but potentially a bit uncomfortable as a daily driver. Next time I go car shopping I think I will look at the WRX. The ST...

  19. Yet another car buying thread!

    Lol you are completely right -- I'm all over the place trying to make a decision! I have driven both the A4 and A3 but not the BMW. Maybe I can do something about that this afternoon.

  20. Yet another car buying thread!

    The current GTI and 328 have very similar 0-60 times and reviews both say positive things about their handling. I'd say they are priced in a similar manner given the (larger, luxury brand) 328 is about $10K / 30% more expensive than the (smaller, VW) GTI. I'm looking at the 328 because it...

  21. Yet another car buying thread!

    Hi all, I'm shopping for a "new" car. I've decided to limit my budget to under $35K and I'm trying to decide what to get. I'd like something a bit sporty and a good deal. It needs to have room for a car seat in the back. I'm mostly leaning toward a GTI right now, but I've been considering...

  22. Car suggestion for parents

    just in case you don't know (for the O.P.) CT200h = Prius And ES350 = Avalon

  23. Car suggestion for parents

    If your parents were satisfied with a 20 year old camry then why would they want to spend extra on a luxury brand (Lexus)? It would be much wiser to spend the $$$ on lower mileage / newer Toyota or Honda. Also (as NutBucket mentioned), a small SUV is taller and makes it much easier for...

  24. Acura TSX or A3?

    Good choice! What engine did you end up with? Have fun with the new car.

  25. Acura TSX or A3?

    S60's are pretty nice. I had one a as a loaner car while my other car was being serviced. Two caveats: I see lots of used 2015s available now that were "premium class" rental cars for a year. their engine/transmission is new but the S60 platform is 5-6 years old. The Chinese company that...

  26. Acura TSX or A3?

    I test drove a TLX a couple months back. It's a nice car, but I could never get over the feeling that it's barely different from an Accord. I guess I should actually drive an Accord and see if it is similar :) (I realize this is par for the course, i.e. Ford Fusion -> Lincoln MKZ, Toyota...

  27. Officail 2016 Prius thread

    The answer is in the article: and Toyota Safety Sense — a package that includes things like automatic pedestrian avoidance and full-speed dynamic cruise (meaning the car will manage your speed for you, going all the way to a full stop in a traffic jam). Subaru actually uses TWO cameras in...

  28. The AnandTech Introduction Thread: Get To Know Your Peers

    Hi everyone. I'm a longtime lurker (and occasional poster) on both the website and forums. Like others here, I'm an engineer who is interested in computers and electronics. These days I work as much with photons as I do with electrons.

  29. Used Nissan Leaf??

    Hi guys I've been meaning to reply to this for a while. Thanks for the info on Leaf Spy -- I hadn't heard about that before. Also, I have thought of he Spark EV, but I'm wondering if it is too small from a safety perspective. I'm also still on the fence when thinking about battery vs Plug...

  30. Used Nissan Leaf??

    In the Bay Area that price isn't too hard to get AFAIK. It wasn't so hot for the pre-2013 models, but 2013+ has the faster charger and other useful options. I bet a lot of 2013s are coming off lease now. Even if I hate the car, it seems like I wouldn't lose more than a a couple $Ks if I...

  31. Used Nissan Leaf??

    Any opinions on buying a used Nissan Leaf? I know new Nissan Leafs depreciate rapidly (partially due to the tax incentives) and most everyone just leases them. I've never leased a car, and these used Leaf prices are very tempting. For example, I found a 2013 Leaf SL (pretty much with every...

  32. What is this?

    ...and you're more likely to see a McLaren F1 on the road before seeing an unmodified Supra :) I always thought this car and the 3rd generation RX-7 have aged really well for 1990s cars. There aren't too many 20 year old cars that look this "modern".

  33. The official Electric Car discussion thread

    I think a lot of these cheap off lease older Leafs have the 3.3kW charger (7+ hrs to charge on 240V) and they are also old enough to have their maximum range reduced to 60-70 miles.

  34. Hot hatch: Which Ford F****[*] ST?

    I was recently reading about the Focus ST and it seems like it must have (or did have???) horrible seats. Two different reviewed complained at great length saying they were unsuitable for a long commute or trip. Here's what R&T says: ...and a loud, plasticky interior that's nice at first...

  35. '90 Oldsmobile Eighty-eight wont start...Old gas?

    Remember a bad battery can read 12V until you put a load on it. Doesn't sound like the battery is the problem, anyway.

  36. Need to get a bigger car...

    Since when is a Tesla considered the pinnacle of reliability? It's a great car, but I thought they were quite average. I expect the electric motor in any BEV to be very reliable, but basic physics dictates the battery will degrade with both age and usage. Also, all the random gadgets (like...

  37. Going to look at a 99 blazer for my son

    Maybe look for an old Ford Focus? A Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla will not be as much car for the $$ at your price level. If you got $1k for a car then you may not want to pay for gas for a 4.3L V6!

  38. Best hybrid car

    .., keep in mind that the Ford Energi cars and the Volt have up to ~$10k in tax credits when sold new. This is good for the initial purchase, but I expect the car depreciates by this amount the instant the buyer signs the contract.

  39. So I looked and not found. Which current car is Carplay/Android Auto compatible?

    Pretty sure all the 2016 Hyundais and Kias will have it, as an option at least.

  40. Get LOTS of free Amazon coins + 3 Grand Theft Auto titles for FREE!

    It is funny that I've got $25 in credits to the Amazon app store and I can't use it because I can barely find anything worth downloading. Especially games ... they are pretty much all "freemium" junk. It's also funny their search engine autocompletes things they don't sell, e.g Baldurs Gate.
