I have a 2019 RAV4 that has 101,500 miles on it. I know I need an oil change but I looked up what other maintenance is recommended for a car with that many miles and one of the things that suggested was a coolant flush because the coolant becomes corrosive after a while. That’s expensive and before I start planning for it I wonder if it’s an actually necessary thing to do. Anything else I should be looking to do to maintain a car that has driven for this long? Anything qualify as a good idea but not mission critical?

Given how expensive hard drives are I’m trying to think of new ways to source storage.

I’m very new to this and I’m looking to set up a Plex server. Would the community recommend using a 16TB Recertified SATA Drive if I can find it cheaper than a brand new desktop external hard drive?

I am relatively recently diagnosed and I’m still trying to wrap my head around what NVLD is. But I’ve recently thought about describing it to others as autism, but only in half of my brain. I know it’s not technically correct but I feel like it gives people a frame of reference to start from. But I wanna know what the larger community thinks about it?

Questions from a green horn.

Given the run on components, how would someone who is interested in setting up a self hosted media hub go about sourcing things like mini PCs and external hard drives. Prices on those components seem to just keep going up. Is this something that one can just wait out and eventually become reasonably priced or is that still a long way off?
