Trying the new DLC start date on normal after many normal games at the later dates.

1. while you have negative tech research speed, researching multiple projects of the same type decreases the negative modifier. This can be sizable at the start. (eg from -50% to -39%)
2. Servant faction researching technologies beyond the global tech locks. i'm playing as Initiative, My Servant faction has gone gangbusters, now they've unlocked Cybernetic Implants without Cybernetics global tech, and Neural Engineering without Applied Artificial Intelligence global tech. Their councilors are equipped with +2 implants. Interestingly I can't see either tech to steal (cybernetic implants / neural engineering) since I guess that Steal list is factoring in the global techs not being unlocked yet, so as a result I can't steal either. Majestic 12 (if they had it at one point, they don't now) would unlock T1 implants, not Neural Engineering.

Signed up for mod rewards last week, got a cauliflower mod pizza, didn't trigger free mod pizza on my account. I figure okay maybe it doesn't count alternative crusts.

Then I got a mod salad yesterday (not mega, just mod) but still don't have a pizza in my account

I assume the company first sign up rewards are busted, or did I miss something, or this a me only issue?

Home depot with military discount. Do I just get nothing from the price protection now? Seems to only apply if anker official site drops their price within 90 days.

Obviously I'll never preorder another anker product again if the price drops this hard after release.

For ford esp plans for emergency travel expense how does it work? It's not clear and calling has provided no straight answer besides send receipts they might cover. Truly a poor experience so far.

Was driving normal, warning chimes CHECK BRAKES

Had to smash my whole body down on them as a 190 lb full adult male to get minor braking force beyond the hybrid recovery. Got it parked, towed.

I'm about 600 miles from home. With another 180 planned for my trip.

Ford dealership said it'd take awhile though could be 1-2 weeks.

Enterprise was way over on cost for week compared to what is covered, the ESP emergency travel portion as written is unclear when it comes to this.

Didn't see this failure condition on the github wiki yet

Blinking green light on c4 device, no fan spin no screen, did the different cables/power thing then flashed, same blinking green light. It lasted about 40 days of usage, past day was cool, previous few were hotter then it's experienced before (100 outside temp). My device never thermal throttled so it didn't get too hot around the times I used it, never parked car in direct sun I'm going to chalk it up to heat death though, given that the outside temp being high is the only recent difference in past week.

Attached short video, would love to hear someone tell me I'm dumb and the rapid blinking green thing is an easy fix that I didn't try. Otherwise off to warranty replacement for me.

I've been reading reports of the higher and higher percentage of mule account applications banks have received. Accounts where people create that enable fraud by being a hop point for other transfers out of other people's accounts.

I was reminded of the grilling Fidelity gave me when I tried wiring a high 6 figure sum to invest in a business partnership, so it was to a llc bank account. I initially was somewhat angry that Fidelity was delaying then trying to stop me from moving my money, interrogating me towards the specifics for 20 minutes, before finally relenting, but now I understand more just the levels of fraud being committed, and how it can happen to anyone (relative had a stroke and became super gullible, in his 30s, already being targeted).

Compared to my bank where I've uncharacteristically written checks for six figures to unrelated individuals and LLCs without any delay to transfers, nor verification, kinda more concerning.

Hey just wanted to see if I missed something for troubleshooting or if i should find something specific in the rlog, or something else for a C4 not wanting to shift out of dashcam mode even with a vehicle that worked with c3x and seems to be accurately detected ...

Basically have c4 now, had working c3x setup til it blew and took out a couple car fuses and radar. Ford Escape 2020, a hybrid

I ran the c4 on another vehicle, purchased new harness and cable, new radar and fuses in car and it works in ACC, no codes on OBD.

C4 running sunny pilot/sunnylink seems to auto detect vehicle accurately (similar to c3x) yet will also always go into dashcam mode unless set to off-road. manually setting vehicle also doesn't force it out of dashcam mode

Tried flipping and reseating cables, can still use ACC while it's plugged in, reset device once.

Not sure the current failure condition of my C3x but I'm thinking there's a high likelyhood of a blown capacitor or something and I'm wondering if the USB 5v not powering it on is a clue, and was hoping to hear.

Basically first C3X I had failed the first week of summer, an apparent heat death that matched well with the failure conditions I've seen posted before. I was able to power it via USB power in my house while doing the diagnostics and reflashing.

I got a warranty repair and have been fine for a year. Til the first day of warm weather came around again. 90° in a shaded lot, next day would start and get just into the drive screen before shutting down, only restarting by pulling the plug.

I thought it was weird, blasted cold air into it and got it to last slightly longer before shutting off. I figure I'd just take it in, plug into USB power at home again, reflash.

Then the first storage behavior occured which I didn't see listed before -- USB power would only boot it to the first comma screen before it would shut off and reboot.

I confirmed via a USB power meter it's drawing a little more than 5 volts from the USB, tried both c to c and a to c. I was able to flash but for some reason it took far longer then my previous flashing, and seemingly became stuck part way of flashing system.

Once flashed, USB power at home still fails to power it on. The 12v USB in car operates it normally but I've had it shutdown mid-drive. The units fan is working.

I'm thinking the USB 5v power not working is a sign this units ailing at best and likely to fail completely soon. Hoping to hear thoughts on avoiding a replacement c4 purchase.
