![]() ![]() I decided not to, and given what subsequently happened I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger. Remember, you're messing with mapping in the ECU. Anyway, as far as the tune, when I asked, he raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and said something to the effect of "take your chances.". Over the years he had always been a straight shooter with me, looking for the least cost solution to any given problem. We knew each other well since I had bought and serviced 2 previous BMWs at the dealership. I remember prior to experiencing problems, talking to the dealer service adviser about a Bren tune and warranty. This is from first hand experience going through the painful BMW/Dealer investigation process that finally resulted in my engine warranty replacement. ![]() They're absolutely looking for any "out" they can find. If anything severe goes wrong with the engine, possibly requiring a replacement, they'll hunt through every nook and cranny to find something unusual. This is my two cent experience on having warranty work done.It may very well not cause a problem with the warranty. I can't say the modifications caused this issue, but it surely could've. I believe being in Texas, they have to prove your mods caused that part to fail. Was this a lucky situation, I don't think so. Simplified, it is a term that refers to updating your ECU software or flash memory with altered program codes so that your vehicle or motorcycle runs. All in all, we worked it out, and they replaced my stock turbo and gave me a free rental at no cost out the door. ECU flashing, by definition (Foreign Affairs Motorsports), is a procedure that updates the software that runs your vehicle by changing or modifying the vehicle’s memory chip in the ECU. The only issue I had with getting them to honor my warranty was proof of maintenance, meaning having my receipts for oil changes since I do them myself. Before I brought it into the Mazda dealership, I put all stock parts back on (bov, racepipe, "stage 2" intake.), and reflashed to the base ecu. I ended up blowing my stock turbo later on, within the warranty time frame (stock turbos had an issue with blowing seal). I had a modified Speed3 that was professionally tuned using the Cobb tuners, and a local tuner. I will say I did deal with a warranty repair on my 2013 Mazdspeed3, and it went better than expected. I'm new to the Q50 game but have been doing research as well on the whole process of modding and getting my Q50s tuned, for I do have a full extended warranty I don't want to waste. It really comes down to your personal decision. In the end, if you want to be tuned, then you have to commit to the risk of creating some kind of failure to the car and potentially not receiving warranty coverage. An engine tune, on the other hand, has the potential of denial of warranty for almost the entire powertrain (obviously depending on the failure and legitimacy of the claim). However, the springs would not lead to denial of warranty repair for your transmission (at least without some creative stretch of the truth on cause and effect). For example, if you are running lowering springs and your dampers fail, then in my opinion it would make sense to deny warranty coverage on the dampers. All other mods are very specific to certain areas of a car or are easily removable leaving no trace. In my opinion, for all of the various mods you can do to a vehicle, tuning the engine is the most risky for warranty coverage. Often times people will point to the requirement that the "manufacturer has to prove the modification caused the failure." Just remember that process would end up in legal proceedings, which is probably not a path you would want to go down. As has been noted, some dealers are more lax on these decisions than others. I get the sense that you are looking for some kind of black and white answer or an absolute level of assurance. ![]()

Also, it has a lot of unique music for each type of biome, boss and if you are underground or above ground… But it’s quite rare to have a silent moment in Terraria. Honestly, it has been quite some time since I played Minecraft with the in-game music simply I find Minecraft a bit too silent. While Minecraft has an amazing soundtrack, I feel that Terraria uses it’s music in a better way. I honestly enjoy Terraria more in the music department. Now, this might mean that some things won’t get reviewed too in-depth to keep true to the theme of the article. I think that’s it’s going to be very clear as soon as you read the following paragraphs. Now, I think this puts me in an position where I can take an interesting angle while reviewing/talking about this game. I have played it with some friends in the past but rarely on my own. I’m going to apologize in advance if I compare this game a lot to Minecraft since this article comes from somebody who has been playing Minecraft for years upon years (since Beta 1.4 in 2011) and only recently got into Terraria. While in-game, you won’t really encounter this story so it’s an interesting additional piece of content for this game. I’m not going to talk too much in-depth about it, but if you want to know more… then I invite you to read the lore page on the Terraria Wiki. Since there is some sort of a story in this game. I think it’s high time to talk about the “story” that exists in this game. I only use the comparison to say things like: “If you don’t know what Terraria is, think of Minecraft in 2D with some extremely interesting mechanics, richer combat, more bosses…” The amount of differences in gameplay mechanics is so huge you can’t really compare Minecraft and Terraria a whole lot. But let me tell you, there is a lot more to this game than just a “simple Minecraft clone in 2D”. This game gets compared to games like Minecraft. So, in it’s “final form” is this game (still) worth playing? Let’s take a look at the game together in this article while I talk about my own opinion on the game and invite you to leave a comment with your opinion on this content of this article and/or the game.Įditorial note: Review written while playing v1.4.1.2 A game that quite recently got it’s “final content update” not too long ago. Twitter polls only give me 4 options and Terraria won. I know I was going to write another article this week, but I felt that I was pushing myself creatively too much so I decided to let my readers decide on which game I was going to write next. ![]() ![]() ![]() “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in.And next year's words await another voice.” - T.S. “For last year's words belong to last year's language.“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt.I want to make a new year's prayer, not a resolution. “Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365-page book.“One thing with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us.” - Michael Cibeuko. ![]() “Let our New Year’s resolution be this: We will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word.” -Göran Persson.Thank you for being you and cheers to what is coming our way.

Hiptop/T-Mobile Sidekick (Danger/Flextronics) T-Mobile Color Sidekick The Hiptop line is designed to be held horizontally with both hands, allowing typing with two thumbs, similar to a Game Boy Advance or a console video game controller. The bottom has volume controls and a power button. The top of the unit has two application-specific shoulder buttons. The right side also has two phone buttons: send call (also page-down) and end call (also page-up). On all Hiptops except the original, the left side houses a directional pad and on the right, a track ball (excluding the original Hiptop) The Hiptop 2 and Slide's directional pad contains internal multicolored LEDs used in ringers and notifications, while the 3, 2008, LX, and 2009 track ball contains internal multicolored LEDs that provide the same function. There are two buttons on the left side of the device ("menu" and "jump") and also two on the right ("back" and "cancel"). Screens on all Sidekick devices (excluding the Slide and 4G models) rotate 180 degrees 'up' to the open position on a patented hinge pin to and has been considered to be iconic in the mobile devices market. The Hiptop/Sidekick became incredibly popular in the U.S. All versions of the Hiptop were developed in close partnership with T-Mobile, although carrier-specific features were either removed or added for each carrier, such as the addition of MMS for SunCom and Telstra Hiptop 2 users, where the feature was not available on T-Mobile USA devices until the Sidekick LX in 2007. The Hiptop II, 3, Sidekick iD, Sidekick 2008 and Sidekick LX (2009) are all manufactured by Sharp Corporation in Japan and designed, respectively, by Danger and then Danger in partnership with Sharp. The original Hiptop hardware was designed by Danger and manufactured by Flextronics. This included a catalog of downloadable software applications, email hosting, instant messaging, web proxies and a cloud service for the entire personal data on the device. Danger provided the Hiptop OS software and back-end services for the device. The Hiptop software was designed by Danger, Inc., which was located in Palo Alto, California, and purchased by Microsoft for $500 million in 2008. The Danger Hiptop, also re-branded as the T-Mobile Sidekick, Mobiflip and Sharp Jump, is a GPRS/ EDGE/ UMTS smartphone that was produced by Danger, Inc. Samsung redesigned the new Sidekick 4G with our best-in-class hardware, combined with T-Mobile's 4G network speeds, the Android operating system, and unique messaging and entertainment features, to make this a perfect match for both loyal Sidekick fans and new Sidekick owners.The original Hiptop with revised color screenĭanger Incorporated / Flextronics / Sharp Corporation / Motorola / SamsungĢ002–2010 (Sidekick Web Services to 2011)Ĭolor (Monochrome for the 1st gen Sidekick/Hiptop)Īttachable 0.3 Megapixel (Built in for later models) It comes loaded to the brim with social network, media and messaging features, so youngsters will be able to keep up with their chums at all times, as well as keeping up with all the latest fads.ĭale Sohn, president of Samsung Mobile, said, "We are proud that T-Mobile selected Samsung to help create the next-generation Sidekick and carry the iconic Sidekick brand and device to the next level. It has front and rear cameras (3-megapixel for the main one), a five row QWERTY slider keyboard (complete with Smiley button), and packs some funky colours too (like bright pink). The phone, which has been produced by Samsung, has a 3.5-inch display and is powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo) and a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor. ![]() So it's perhaps no surprise to see the Sidekick re-imagined under the Android banner - although it's fairly obvious from the fairly mediocre specs that T-Mobile now sees the Sidekick as a budget friendly, teen-aimed device. And it was produced for T-Mobile by Danger Inc (it's actual name was the Danger Hiptop) - a company which lists Google's Andy Rubin as one of its founders. ![]() ![]() ![]() All you need to do is complete a network analysis, and you'll easily detect each device connected to the internet through your router.
