The Cirque du Soleil show Luzia from yesterday Wednesday, October 7th, suffered a minor mishap after intermission. The smoke machine went out of control and spewed smoke in the entire area, causing some people to cough and gasp for air, leaving their seats in a panic. The show was interrupted for 30 minutes while the smoke machine was turned off and the air cleared.
Can someone explain to me what the EV/HEV drive modes are? In my PHEV 2023 i just purchased, there's this EV/HEV button. When I push it, it goes from nothing to Auto to Hybrid to Electric. And then back to nothing...
What is the difference between Auto and the default/ nothing mode? Or the HEV and the default/nothing mode?
I have been a happy 2018 A5 Sportback Teknik S Line (Canada) owner since i bought it new. Now it has 90000km and starting to give me mechanical issues, out of warranty of course...
I still love her, but getting itchy to upgrade before the next breakdown.
Would love to upgrade to a Porsche Something (911, 718, Macan) but they are way too expensive. A friend suggested a Golf R Mk.7.5 as a substitute, but am afraid it will feel cheap.
Came across a 2022 RS5 loaded with all the right options, and realized they are damn sexy. Better looking than my A5 S Line which I love.
What are the things to watch out for in the B9.5 models with V6 engines? Should I upgrade to this "top dog" of A5s?
When a Bell technician last came to my house to troubleshoot a connection, he replaced my HH3000 modem with a new one, AND gave me another brand new HH3000 modem, still shrink wrapped and in a box, in case I needed to replace it again. He did not write it down and so it does not relate to me in anyway.
I have upgraded to a HH4000 Giga Hub for my 1.5Gbps service and returned the HH3000 I was usiusing. So everything is up and up with Bell.
What can I do with it? Can I sell it?
Wondering if any of you guys with an A4/A5 from 2018 and above (B9) have had issues with the air conditioning (AC) not working at all. The controls are disabled or greyed out and cannot be put in Auto, Manual or Max mode. Issue could be either the evap core or the pressure switch or some bushings or O-rings.
Seems that in the US there is an extended warranty up to 10 years that was issued on the evap core (U43) but not in Canada or other countries.
What has been your experience in getting it fixed without spending $5k?
Been having these random disconnected and reconnected messages on the GigaHub 4000 since day one.
My PC has a 2.5Gbs Realtek Gaming Ethernet card on a 1.5Gbs (now 3Gbs thanks to a "free" upgrade from Bell) Fibe internet service and everything else works well, except these connection issues. Sample from the modem logs:
| 2026-07-30 11:23:59 | INF | LETH | A device has been disconnected from an Ethernet port (5) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-30 11:24:02 | INF | LETH | An Ethernet port is now connected (5/2500/FULL) |
A Google search reveals the likely cause for frequent drops is a bad Ethernet cable. I had a flat Cat 7 cable, which I replaced with a top-tier copper round Cat 6A cable, but it looks like I am still getting these issues. What gives?
