Yeah, but your GTR is useful. I have yet to find a use for a tablet that my desktop or lappy don't do better.

Would you buy a Commonwhore if you had an M3 and a 916 in the shed at home?

Yes

It is difficult to explain true love but let me attempt it through song:

Close your eyes, give me your handbrake, VLwagz

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Is this burning an eternal flame

I believe it's meant to be, VLwagz

I watch you when you are sleeping

You belong with me

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Or is this burning an eternal flame

Say my name

Sun shines through the rain

A whole life so lonely

And then come and ease the pain

I don't want to lose this feeling, oh~~ VLwagz

Boo yah!

Yet ANOTHER iMac bites the dust. A 24" POS. Started running slow so the Dev rebooted. It made a big beep sound on power down and now won't power up at all.

Dead.

i dont understand either side's argument that hackers will get you

i've been on god knows how many sketchy porn sites for the past 15 years, and whatever else i manage to get up to, and i've never had a problem

the IT guy at work has checked my laptops for any issues, and he always comes back "no issues, too easy"

who are all these people getting fcuked over by the internet all time?

having a PC , you may as well bender over now as the hackers will f**k you anyway

That's the single dumbest f**king thing I've read on the internet and demonstrates that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

Be gone.

sad life if it is....

hahaha you my friend need to get out more. You havent a clue bud. I work in data centres all day, which all run PC based networks, mainly IBM or HP, as with most businesses, they are always under threat.

Mate im not here for name callin and disrespecting a brother.

Its a simple rule of thumb, that me and the boys have a work.

Dude, which data centre do you work in? I want to know because we use data centres and virtual servers for our business and I want to know which ones to avoid. Please tell me you don't work for Ninefold?

That you are under attack has nothing at all to do with your operating system. There are exploits in all software and people will try and break into anything. You could make wholesale changes to your operating systems tomorrow but the attacks won't stop. There's not a single network on earth immune to threats.

"having a PC , you may as well bender over now as the hackers will f**k you anyway" is still one of the silliest things I've read on the internet.

WTF, "PC based networks", what do you do at the datacentre? Service the AC?

when i say pc based networks,im talking about the generic coding that pc programmes run on un like mac,i work in the NOC room. National Observation Room in a few data centres.

Nah mate,its all good, thats why people use data centres they are man'ed 24/7, with people and programmes to stop unwanted s**t in the system. You can't get better security.

And with the comment "having a PC , you may as well bender over now as the hackers will f**k you anyway" is still one of the silliest things I've read on the internet, like i said earlier its a joke between me and the boys at work.

we say in regards to domestic applications, cause all the stories we have told between each other about PC products isnt generally the best

when you consider how much time and money people spend on security like norton's or kaspersky only to have there computer affected by some virus or trojan or the like.

I just made that comment, for a laugh.

You may get someone on here who runs no security on there PC, good on them but they run a very high percentage risk.

but you've got some programmers who write code for pc products who then turn hacker or smart evil bastards who go straight into writing code for worns and viruses to attack pc encoded systems.As the majority of the world uses PC and all the business in world run pc.

Pc's run on an open system, where macs run on a closed system.

The up and down side is, Apple have a monopoly on there products with only a handful of people making programmes for them but pc's its open to anyone,thats how you get all these different brands making software for pc as there is a generic code to start, then a programmer adds his own code to make a programme or for a hacker, adds his own code for a virus.

Im not here to defend myself, you either like it or you don't, get on with life.

Everyones different, thats whats makes life great!

OSX is every bit as hackable as PC. In fact, some people will tell you OSX is easier to hack as Apple has not put in 10% of the effort to defending OSX that Windows and 3rd parties have put into Windows defense.

Thing is, if I'm going to spend time write code to break into a computer, should I target 15% of the market with little penetration outside the home PC and lower online presence or should I target the other 85% of the market which pretty much saturates home and business alike and has a very strong online presence thanks to it being a far superior gaming platform?

I've been running bare for a decade or more and simply have no issues. I have a basic firewall which keeps out outsiders and don't click on links like a f**king spastic.

All I have is basic free A/V & standard windows firewall.

Pc's run on an open system, where macs run on a closed system.

Pretty sure Unix, the foundation of everything OS X since forever, is an open system and all OS run on a version of C.

Stealing a macs shit is actually pretty easy via a webpage or email. The cost of entering the programming game is virtually 0 no matter the platform you choose and you don't have to be smart to make damaging software.

You seem to be stuck, like a lot of people, in the pre-2005 Apple era where at least you could say they ran on the PowerPC platform and it was every so slightly harder to program for.

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
