The problem is that I’m not the best shifter in the world. My 1st to 2nd shift is often rough, which causes TCS to kick in cause I keep popping out the clutch too fast. And when TCS cuts fuel in the middle of a gear change, it causes the car to buck and stall, which can cause an accident. So I turn it off.
I’ve been driving manual since 2008 and honestly, I’ve never really had this issue before in other cars. Just my 350Z. It’s significantly harder to shift smoothly in.
ESP, or Electronic Stability Program, uses the brakes to brake individual wheels and keep the car going in the intended direction, when it detects that the vehicle is sliding out of control. It is often paired with TCS—Traction Control System (usually controlled with the same button)—which cuts fuel to the engine when it detects wheel spin. Can’t lose traction when there’s no power going to the wheels.
In other words, it’s the fun button. Press it once when you want to have some fun (turns off TCS), press and hold it to have a lot of fun (turns off both TCS and ESP; professional drivers only).
Meh; pro drivers turn it off anyway, so it doesn’t interfere with your inputs and prevent you from Tokyo Drifting around corners.
I wish my traction+stability control button was next to my knee too, so I don’t have to keep reaching for the button every time I start my car.
(FWIW, I’m not a pro driver. I just turn it off because it’s a bit too aggressive in my 350Z. Even the tiniest bit of wheel spin cuts all power from the engine and doesn’t give it back for at least 5-10 seconds, which is especially annoying when you’re in the middle of a gear change.)
So what? Fuck Safari. Hardly anyone uses it anyway.
I know; I have a 1000w, top-tier PSU with Japanese capacitors. Never, ever cheap out on the PSU.
The point I’m making is that 1200w is overkill in 99.9% of builds. Nothing more, nothing less.
I like Windows 11. It has the best HDR support of any OS, bar none. AutoHDR is a godsend.
My only complaint is about the taskbar, which I fixed by installing StartAllBack.
1200w is unnecessary for these specs. I have a 7700X & a 4090 and my PC never draws more than 450w from the wall.
Why a 4090 now? A 5090 costs 11% more but is ~30% faster. If you’re going to get a high-end GPU, it’s a better bang for your buck.
Other than that, this is the exact PC I would build today if I didn’t build one two years ago. I currently have a 7700X, a 4090, 32GB of DDR5 6000, a 4TB WD SN850X NVME, and a Liquid Freezer II 360.
Hasn’t affected my life one bit. It people weren’t mentioning egg prices on Lemmy, I would have had no idea that there was a shortage.
Never understood everyone’s obsession with eggs. There are so many other sources of protein out there. You don’t need to perpetually have them in your fridge.
Fucking Ford.
Mate you don’t have to talk down to me. I used to own a hybrid; I’ve mastered the art of throttle control to keep the engine from kicking in so I could run on battery power for longer periods of time.
Furthermore, this car has 300bhp; if redlined every shift, I’d be flying down the street. I rarely shift above 2500RPM.
You may think you’re trying to help, but you’re just being condescending. Please knock it off. And take a Z for a test drive sometime. Then and only then will you understand where I’m coming from.
