Same here. You throw a question in a channel. Someone responds in 1 minute with a code example that either you had laying around, or would take > 5 minutes to write.

The code example was AI generated. I couldn't find a single line of code anywhere in any codebase. 0 examples on GitHub.

And of course it didn't work.

But, it sent me on a wild goose because I trusted this person to give me a valuable insight. It pisses me off so much.

Interesting, there is no subject in the example cert shown.

Is this because the certificate was requested for the IP, and other DNS entries were part of the SAN?

And if you uninstall the modern notepad, start's search doesn't find the old one.

The modern iDrive 8 from BMW is an absolute hell.

No knobs for temperature & heated seats, but multiple pressed required.

Constant flashing of blue/red in the temperature adjust buttons when cooling/heating.

I'm looking for a used one, and I want one with the newest motor that I can get which still has iDrive 7(.5)...

I remember leadfree solder. I ordered an Nvidia 8800GT at that time and it was significantly delayed because of failures.

The fix back then was to bake your GPU in the oven for a while, essentially reflowing some of the cracked solder.

And I know of countless BMW M3s and M5s dying too soon because of early iterations of lead-free bearings.

I understand the toxicity of lead, but I wonder if the hand could've been more targeted. Does lead in bearings really show up in the environment?

The origin of the capacitor plague is so interesting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

> A 2003 article in The Independent claimed that the cause of the faulty capacitors was due to a mis-copied formula. In 2001, a scientist working in the Rubycon Corporation in Japan stole a mis-copied formula for capacitors' electrolytes. He then took the faulty formula to the Luminous Town Electric company in China, where he had previously been employed. In the same year, the scientist's staff left China, stealing again the mis-copied formula and moving to Taiwan, where they created their own company, producing capacitors and propagating even more of this faulty formula of capacitor electrolytes.

Stolen and stolen again.
