    Should there be potential consequences for putting false info into a Steam user review?

    They'll find something else to rage about. Rage and controversy gets clicks. They could rage about how having flowers in your yard is woke and get millions of views.

    Fans are cheap enough, just replace em all and tell him he owes you cause the fans were dying... Still playing Might & Magic, took a little break to tinker with my new tablet, which is silly given I'm likely to never game on it. Did get my other clue book for it the other day, which is kind of...

    Odds are, if it's been going this long, it'll probably keep going, so you can just pay close attention to it and see how it feels for the time being from there. And I see now what you're getting at about overfilling. That said, it could be the case that someone put half a quart in while the...

    I'll toss my hat in with them (but I want it back, I like that hat). I get what you're asking for and many reviews are eye rolling, but I have no idea how you prove any of this, as people are allowed to be stupid and uniformed on the Internet. The line where you start taking action seems...

    In that case, I'm not sure how one would go about figuring out the appropriate level of fluid, aside from measuring what comes out. I suppose, thinking about it, you could measure what comes out and then see what the recommended fluid amount is. For example, when I drained mine, the FSM tells...

    Question Do you think it's important to keep records of games before deleting?

    Thankfully I just scroll my various libraries and pretty much everything is there, which is helpful for me these days, given I have a poor memory. That said, I did recently look-up a game. I remembered it came out in the mid-90's, as I recall playing it off the PC Gamer demo disk. After some...

    Right. Interestingly, it looks like there isn't a (easily accessible) filter in your transmission. Apparently there may be one between the two halves of it, but I guess you'll really only get to that part during a full rebuild. Based on these two videos: View...

    I'm not sure what size you're looking at, but I have two of these guys, one in my Steam Deck, the other in my Desktop. My desktop doesn't have the screw hole for the shorter SSD, only fitting 2280s, but with the heat shield for it, it's held in place just fine and caused no issues. It's plenty...

    @Frag Maniac looks like you do have a dipstick, which is nice. Most newer vehicles don't include them, because you're just supposed to throw it away and buy a new one when it starts having issues... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC4pO0Nq3VU

    Yeah, it's an automatic. You ought to check the fluid, if there's a dipstick. Be aware that there is a special protocol for checking transmission fluid; the vehicle should be hot (operating temp), parked on level ground and in Park or Neutral. Once you've got those parameters met, you can check...

    You know, thinking about it a little bit more on the buying mobile versions of games, one thing that grinds my gears and why I've pretty much stopped putting money into Android stuff is the fact that long term support is not guaranteed. I actually have quite a few Games and Applications that are...

    Just Google whatever your controller is and "Firmware update". So far, of the two controllers I've updated firmware on (XBone + 8Bit Do) each have had a little program to download that'll check the controller firmware version and grab a new one if it's out of date. You'll need to wire the...

    Well, my plan for today is to...drive around. Want to make sure my van is ready for this mountain road trip next week, so I'm going to see if it exhibits any of the strange shifting behavior it had before. It was intermittent before, so we'll see. Though, I also want to mess around with this...

    I actually really dislike streaming for whatever reason. Partly because my WiFi is spotty in different places in the house--I did buy some AP's to fix that, but I haven't tackled it yet--and partly because, I don't know, I just don't care for it? I did it quite a lot back around 2020, in fact...

    Am I the only person who feels a little indignant about buying games I already own on Steam on other platforms? I have several Android devices, just got a new tablet to replace my Surface Go, in fact and I end-up..."acquiring" many games for the platform that I already own on Steam. Like, I...
