00:23:23 <arch> the chinese have already finished cloning it and are now in the process of mass manufacturing that tool for $1.73
00:25:55 <arch> also this is the same kind of youtuber who says he can make a table at home with common household tools
00:28:36 <arch> rc-garage, i vote for RBG head gaskets. it'll be a pressure sensitive pcb layer that can detect moisture or oil leaks, and when it does, it will change the rgb color all around the engine
00:35:59 <rc-garage> you probably would, heh
00:41:55 <electrohead> lmao
00:45:24 <rc-garage> being on a subaru, why not just turn the warning light on, and be done with it?
00:47:40 * electrohead stabs rc-garage with a rusty spoon
01:01:35 <rc-garage> that might work
02:11:16 <MrMobodies> The engine could show it's emotions through the colours. That's a joke
02:12:42 <MrMobodies> When a head gasket goes it can be replaced
02:13:11 <MrMobodies> with a new electric car, when there is a fault with the software after an update. It seems only THEY can do it.
02:13:55 <MrMobodies> and the garage has the cheek to charge someone for this manufacturing defect in the software
02:14:51 <MrMobodies> nothing to do with wear and tear and no fault of the user it's just the manufacturer felt like interfering with the car
02:15:15 <MrMobodies> https://thenextweb.com/news/subscriptions-are-creeping-into-cars-vw-id3
02:15:15 <EEVBot> [url] Subscriptions are creeping into everything — even your car’s horsepower | thenextweb.com
02:15:29 <MrMobodies> I be waiting for more videos about this from Louis Rossman
02:16:07 <MrMobodies> "ID.3 Pro and Pro S were listed in the UK as producing 201bhp, but could hit 228bhp — if customers paid extra. For that extra 27bhp, buyers can pay £16.50 per month, £165 annually, or £649 for a lifetime subscription that transfers with the car if it’s resold."
02:17:03 <MrMobodies> "Lifetime subscription that transfers with the car" I wonder if they are trying to distort the meaning to make it sound like "perpetual" to normalise that the word "subscription" isn't a bad one.
03:28:42 <rc-garage> meh, life times are just getting shorter. but we will see

08:19:49 <MrMobodies> Hello
08:20:11 <MrMobodies> What does "tilting at windmills" means?
08:20:52 <MrMobodies> nevermind... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilting_at_windmills_(disambiguation)

08:21:17 <MrMobodies> "attacking imaginary enemies",
08:21:31 <MrMobodies> Analogue kid says "I am attacking imaginary enemies"
08:22:00 <MrMobodies> I don't understand. I don't consider them enemies.
08:22:09 <MrMobodies> or imaginative
08:22:40 <MrMobodies> more inteferring and controlling
08:23:36 <MrMobodies> things that are set to work against me
08:24:11 <MrMobodies> but the intentions behind were deemed helpful
