I did my part and sent them a “do this and I’ll never buy a Haier product” email. Corporations exist to maximize profits. Communities like ours just have to learn how to make it clear to them that shutting us out will hurt their profitability.
I think we should all be really proud of ourselves. We banded together and, regardless of WHY Haier is doing this, got them to open a line of communication. This is a huge win!
Hell yes! My sister-in-law has your same year but the diesel version and that thing is a champ. It’s rated at 45 mpg on the highway but she typically gets 50+, even with nearly 200k miles on it.
I had a 2004 1.8t Jetta for 12 years but I swapped it for a Prius. I love the Prius features and fuel economy but I miss how damn quick that my Jetta was, plus I loved the interior color scheme.
It’s good for me because I’m piss poor at programming. In my defense, I’m not a programmer or even programmer adjacent. I do see how it wouldn’t be useful to a pro. It also has occasionally given me garbage advice that an expert would spot right away while I had to figure out in my own that it was ‘hallucinating’ again. There’s nothing better for learning than troubleshooting, though!
I remember when Linux gaming meant Nethack.
This is super cool! The giant OCD nerd inside is going to go nuts while cataloging my entire home.
Seconded, I use a Define 7 and it’s fantastic. Best big black box I’ve ever owned.
