GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Let me know how it goes, I’ve always wanted to upgrade to leather.

No shame about heated seats, once I got a car that had them I use them all the time. Haha.

 

Heated seats on long road trips are a God send IMO.

 

I feel the same way about ventilated/cooled seats on road trips.

 

Agreed. I’ve only recently discovered such luxuries.

 

more useful when getting back in the vehicle after being hot and sweaty. Don’t see how they’d benefit you on a road trip aside from keeping you from sticking to the seat lol. What does it do for you?

 

Keeps your back from getting sweaty and therefore prevents stickage.

 

You are welcome to come over and watch/help when I install them.

You know, "first hand" experience!

 

In case anyone is looking for a truck/garage PC, I picked one of these up today. Ruggedized and spill proof.

Excellent for using in the garage to watch a YouTube tutorial or to do coding. Not a bad deal for $129...

Celeron....Ew, gross!

I kid....sort of. It will be fine for YT.

 

I'm a computer guy so I get it, but for this use case (garage PC) it works pretty good. Low TDP = great battery life, so for playing movies or browsing on the go it makes sense.

This is their 2021 Jasper Lake model. Dual core up to 2.8Ghz with intel UHD Graphics. You can run up to a 4k monitor. @60Hz

Also has a NVME SSD slot, so I am going to throw a 500GB Crucial in there for some more speed/storage.

I also like that it has ethernet and 2 USB A ports for using thumb drives and testing networks.

With a clean install of windows 11 it's not bad...

Again, it's $129...

 

I have been in need of a new one. My current one is slow as hell….

 

If you're in Duluth one day come check it out. I would order the 64GB version from their website and save ~25 bucks which I would then spend on a 500GB M.2 SSD which will be way faster.

 

I see it's eMMC. Might be a PITA to make it bootable from NVME (factoring in things like recovery partition and all). NVME is certainly superior to eMMC though, so it would be worth the change, regardless of level of difficulty to achieve.

 

Who this be at the Publix in Decatur. I'm the 2nd gen.

 

We'll find out tonight!

 

How many M.2 slots? Wonder if you could set it up in RAID 0.

 

Only one.

Here's a vid on a similar PCB design on a 15in laptop that came with EMMC

Worked! Much faster and responsive now.

 

We have to check how many PCI(-E) slots there are. Am I hearing SLI cards and bitcoin mining? We could strike gold here! Well, virtual gold that will be worth nothing in a few months.

 

We had a good time yesterday!
