It's no Hard Kandy Episode 2, but one of my favourites nonetheless

At least Hard Kandy Episode 2 was mastered properly

Honestly that decision was the pinnacle of phaggotry

nah it's more like windows 7 than 8 IMO, enterprise editions can't upgrade either - you can download the upgrade from Microsoft website if you don't have the notification, that's what I did.

#microsoftrep

I've got whatever version came with my laptop... I got the notification to 'reserve my copy' of 10 just haven't got the next one to say it's downloaded and ready to install

I skipped over ME and skipped over Vista... everything else has been getting progressively better as it goes.

I don't understand people saying that they don't like 8 and 8.1, yes its a big visual change to the Start Menu... but you how often do you actually spend in the Start Menu each day? If it's anything more than 60 seconds over the entire day, you're doing it wrong.

For me I do the logical things:

Pin commonly used programs to the task bar so they're just one click away.

Right click on the task bar -> Properties -> Always launch to desktop

If I need to launch a program that isn't pinned, I tap the windows key on my keyboard, type the first few letters of the program then hit enter... I'm in the start menu for a whole 2 seconds... Please, tell me how that's impeding on my productivity in a negitive way.

I don't get why people are acting like it's a "Tablet OS"... No, it's not... it's the same old desktop that you've used for years, they've just changed a few UI elements to make them touch friendly if you want to hang out in the start menu / those apps all the time. 100% not what you'll be doing if you want to be productive on a PC.

I might be technically inept here

But windows 8 loads up by default not my desktop but the stupid tablet GUI I don't want to know about. How do I make it start up on the desktop so I don't have to click away the tablet shit? Also do not have an easy to access shut down button - must alt F4 my way out.

And just the whole treating everything as an app thing is a dumbing down science that Apple started for idiots who don't know what a program is and can't deal with the complexity of multiple executables for that program or...application...as we called it in our day.

It definitely does compromise for tablets so they can cross platform it - case in point, desktops don't need any of that tablet UI shizzle.

Mine opens to desktop, didn't do anything to make it do that just thought it was the norm as always.

Shit like the calculator etc piss me off.. calculator used to open as a small window, so you could use it while probably calculating shit which was probably on your screen... Now it opens as a f**kin full screen 'app'. Brilliant idea.

Just had a look at it, you can 'split left' and 'split right', so you make it take up half the screen vertically... Shit like that is a pointless 'upgrade' and a step backwards. Not everything needs to be changed for something to be upgraded

on a laggy connection I loath the interface with a passion.

on a local machine it's fine.

but had more bad experiences than good.

I wish ECU's were clear-cut, black & white decision :( making a choice is annoying.

Just ask what everyone else likes then do the opposite.

It's what you will end up doing anyway, why not cut out the middle man?

Haha you psychic. Someone is talking me into some UK 4-cyl specialised shit. Cheaper than most standalones too.

What's so hard Leroy? You drive a Pulsar so basic is what you need: Nistune!

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
