Phones › Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by abatically(m): 7:01pm On Aug 28, 2022 |
Decided to retire my galaxy A70 of over 3 yrs. Just joined to Xiaomi community with the Xiaomi 11T. Loving it so far, very smooth, amazing display and decent camera. Lots of smart features too. But I won't lie, MIUI is still trailing behind oneui in terms of features. MIUI has some really good features too and they have really done well not to include too many bloatwares in this one.
Dimensity 1200 is very good for gaming, handles everything thrown at it like a champ at higher settings, no lags. Battery life makes me realize how poor the battery on my A70 is, and I love the 67w charger, I don't even worry when my phone is low since I know a 10 min charge will give me emough juice to keep me going.

sorepco: Why are we in Nigeria adverse to repaying loan? How can we develop with no access to loan like other countries? People don't take loans with no intention of playing. Sometimes things just don't go as expected and u default. It's not enough reason for a loan company to start threatening u after just 1-2 days of default. When u defame someone's imagine because of a few days of over due loan then that person he every right not to ever repay that loan. |

Which day covid come this world? You are very funny. Vaccines generally have a short shelf life. Most covid vaccines have a shelf life of about 30 days when stored inside the refrigerator and just 24 hours when outside the refrigerator, this is similar to most vaccines. Why do u think that child immunization is normally done between 8am to like 12-2pm. Any vaccines not used after those times become useless and destroyed. |

DominusPrime: So if person borrow money from them all they will do is call and threaten? Make I go collect loan drop my 2nd number for them. If they call that number I will ask for another loan. Lol, it doesn't work like that. Before u can take a loan u will have to give their app access to ur contacts and even whatsapp contacts. So the app will download all ur contacts, so once u default they will start calling and sending messages to all ur contacts. If u have ur boss or important people in ur contact they will call them too. |

JennyOfOldstones: I live quite close to where it happened and I was there a few minutes after the accident. That area is a steep slope/hill and is a bridge bordered by a deep gully and a river. The police are fond of setting up a roadblock at the mouth of the bridge to collect money from motorists which causes a traffic jam. Because of the slopey nature of the road, tankers and large trucks are always having accidents on that stretch of the road and that was exactly what happened this time around. An incoming water tanker had issues with braking and because of the momentum it had gained while driving down the slope was unable to stop and it hit multiple cars in the traffic jam the police had caused...even knocking some of them off the bridge and into the gully. Thank God they didn't fall into the river.
Why is it the Police's fault? That road is a high risk area ordinarily; cars are not supposed to linger there longer than necessary and if not for the traffic jam they caused, casualties would have been minimized. Thanks for the explanation, at least u are able to explain how it happened. Normally road blocks should never be monunted where there's a slope, it's risky and those policemen should be held responsible. Ur explanation is much better than those with herd mentality. |

This post did not in any way state how the Police is the cause of the accident, neither did the video.

SatoshiBTC: The maintenance light was reset after the last time I changed the oil in May. For the 08 and later accords, the on board computer continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions such as temperature, speed, running time, etc. That is how it the oil life is calculated and it will notify u when oil life is below 15%. If the light has come on before the recommended time of 5,000 miles then it probably means the system has predicted early breakdown of the oil based on use and engine condition. |
Car Talk › Re: Honda 2008 Frequent Oil Change by abatically(m): 6:27pm On Sep 27, 2021 |
U have to reset that maintenance light each time u service the car. The car doesn't know when u change ur oil so the reading its showing is from the last time the light was reset.
Also, I wouldn't wait for the maintenance light to turn on before changing the oil, that light won't come on until after around 6,000 miles which might be too much depending on the type of oil and filter used for service and also driving condition. |

BabaIbo: Just as I did to your mischevious person now. Wait let me get your quote on corolla
In arguments, ignorance to use words correctly is not an excuse. How many Honda accord do we have out of the series? You should have asked which accord am I referring to. Sedan? You never included that word in your writings. You just included that word because of the guy that quoted me last night and as you can see I said that was not the one I am referring to. If I know that is what you are referring to, I would have agreed just like I did to the guy that quoted me last night.
Mr man this is it below... Is that your twin brother's account?
Lol, you know a corolla is a very slow car but you said it can run 160km/hr comfortably.
I made a comment about that can not suitable for such speed. In my comment I was referring to Nigerian roads, and I listed cars that can do it comfortably due to their balance. One thing about telling lies is you will always need to cover it up. 
Here, I gave a list of cars but you picked just one, why didn't you tackle the question as a whole but you avoided it by being mischievous. In that same reply I mentioned Porsche, BMW etc but in your dishonest nature, you picked one, to make it worse, you used the old model of it. You simply lack honesty.
You can keep referring to it as a blunder but idgaf.
I gave you links but you didn't accept them, so believe whatever you want to believe on that Prado topic.
LoL, you are acting as if you never erred.
You claimed SUVs are not made for speed, but later agreed when I gave you fast ones.
You claimed a corolla sport is a VERY slow car, which you already typed that it is a fast car earlier on.
You claimed you used the word "SEDAN"(which is a bit precise) in your statements but you never did.
And so many errs.
Exactly what I accused you of is playing out. Double standard: Erred but won't accept but want another to accept. Goal post shifting: Dodging the actual argument. Hypocrisy: Full of blunders but pointing finger at another. Insincerity: Lack truth.
You never accepted your own blunders, but you expect others to accept their blunders just to feel that you are correct/right. Of all the statement I made, the only place with error is the one I said Land cruiser Prado vxr has V8 and that is partly because I referred to land cruiser VXR as a Prado in that statement remember I specifically told you I am referring to the vxl and vxr edition, before I could edit it and correct the error, you already quoted the statement. Note: The VXR is what I'm referring to here, not the VXL because I still stand on the point in the other case.
The difference here is I just admitted I made error somewhere but your pride won't let you accept your errors. But that is not necessary because I know you do even if you don't accept them. Lots of muble jumbe. U still don't get it and I got no time for this. I'll focuse on the embolded phrase. Just because a car can do 160km/hr doesn't mean it's a fast car. For goodness sake a Toyota Tacoma which is a pick up truck with poor handling can do 100mph which is about 160km/hr. Does that make it a fast car? Ur lack of understanding is something else. Even am 18 wheeler semi truck can go as fast as 130km/hr. I've seen dangote trucks doing over 130km/hr on highways. Does that make them fast? How to know a fast car is how long it will take them to get to their top speed. A Toyota Corolla can still go as fast as 180km/hr, it doesn't mean it's fast because it will take longer for it to get to that speed than an actual fast car who will get to that speed at a shorter time. That's is how to know a fast car. But of course I don't expect u to understand this. |

BabaIbo: Who is comparing a Crosstour with Honda accord sedan? Did you see anything like that in any of my replies? I will take the time to burst all ur lies because I see that instead of accepting that u made errors u keep denying it and deviating away from facts. You didn't compare a Crosstour to a sedan? Who made the comment below? BabaIbo: Yes, it can outrun a Honda accord on a free highway. Make una no dey argue out of ignorance. Do you even know what a v8 stands for or you are just arguing blindly? While so sport cars carry such engine or higher if it doesn't matter?
BTW, can a Honda accord outrun a crosstour/bmwX6/porsche cayenne? Let's use something on similar level for comparison because the Lexus or Prado with V8 engine go dust am far far, na wetin I don experience first hand. The bold part u u asking if a Honda crosstour can outrun a sedan. That is what u typed urself but of course u are denying it lol. How can a crosstour outrun an accord sedan when they have basically the same drivetrain and the crosstour has higher ground clearances and weighs more? BabaIbo: His comparison was between corolla against GX470, he specifically chose that car of all the cars I mentioned, just to have a point by dodging the main argument but I never cared. Again this is u making up things that I never said. I would never ever put a corolla against a Lexus GX when I know the corolla is a very slow car with very poor handling. Even thought the GX is equally not fast I still won't put it against the corolla. Unless u are able to show me where I said this just like I am bringing out ur past comments, then u are still talking out of ur a$s making things up. BabaIbo: Yes, it can outrun a Honda accord on a free highway. Make una no dey argue out of ignorance. Do you even know what a v8 stands for or you are just arguing blindly? This is u saying a Lexus GX470 will outrun a Honda accord V6 just because it has a v8 engine. Again u typed this urself. Another blunder which u are now trying to deny. BabaIbo: Prado doesn't come with v8?
See as I dey laff you.
You don't know and you don't want to know.
Land cruiser Prado comes with v8 and that is why I specifically mentioned vxl or vxr, not TX or txl.
I'm done with this argument. This is u claiming a Prado comes in V8, and u still haven't been able to prove it lol. Another blunder. BabaIbo: You be Olodo, I feel like telling you to geraot.
You are arguing over what you don't know.
So you don't know a V6 car has two rolls of 3 cylinders engine, while V8 has 2 rolls of 4 cylinders engine?
It is the way that they are arranged that gave rise to the "V" in their names.
Normally, they will write 4 cylinders meaning it has double of it. Do you expect that car to have only 4 cylinders when v6 no get 4 but 6? And this is u trying to navigate away from the truth when I showed u the prado u showed me had 4 cylinders. But then u tried to make it look like its 2 ROLLS of 4 cylinders lol. Even said a V6 is a car wit 2 rolls of 3 cyliders. Omo u gotta be one hella slimy snake. I then showed u a prado with 6 cylinders and asked u if that is 2 ROLLS of 6 cylinders making it a v12? Since a 4 cylinder prado to u means 2 rolls of 4 cylinders making v8, then a 6 cylinder prado has to be 2 rolls of 6 cylinders making v12. So did Toyota make a v12 Prado? But of course u tried to dodge it. U just keep making blunders back 2 back, instead of u to learn u are forming boss. But of course u had to resort to insults because that is what people like u do. |

BabaIbo: Are you normal?
Why are you calling me a liar? Is something wrong with you?
Are you the one I started the argument with? Did you bother to go through the thread to know where the argument started from?
My first reply to the topic was that there are cars you can run that speed with comfortably on Nigerian runs and not corolla because of their balance, their springs and shock absorption systems.
You replied with something like a corolla can run 160 km/hr comfortably but due to the road blahblahblah... but I ignored the quote/mention since you're only repeating my statement in another way, because you already put "but due to Nigerian roads..." in your statement.
A guy whom I can't remember his moniker at the moment, said ALL SUVs are not made with speed in mind which can also mean no SUV is made with top speed option... And that line was the genesis of the argument, not your own mention.
You just dabbled into it again but because I didn't check the name, I responded thinking it was the first guy.
You're the one I should call a liar because I remember vividly when you compared a Honda accord with GX470, I asked you why didn't you use Porsche cayenne or BMW X6 in your comparison, why GX470. Since they are all v8, I even accused you of selective argument. I think how corolla enter your own discussion was when I asked you to compared Prado, Porsche cayenne, BMW x6, crosstour with corolla of the same period etc
Mr man, if you don't know how to read and understand, no dey disturb me with this old topic. I don't think I will reply you on this again, since you are a f*cking liar trying to twist the whole talk, just to paint me a liar. I am not surprised that u had to resort to insults, its typical of people like u. BabaIbo: The other points you read or followed were diversions/side talks where the other guy claimed a corolla is faster than a gx470 or a Prado. This is why I called u a liar because this ur comment was directed at me. I am the one that brought a Lexus GX470 into the mix, and unless u can prove to me where I said a Corolla is faster than this car then I am right. I mentioned An Accord V6 and not a Corolla. BabaIbo: I remember vividly when you compared a Honda accord with GX470, I asked you why didn't you use Porsche cayenne or BMW X6 in your comparison, why GX470. Yes I said it that a Honda accord V6 is quicker than a GX470. Why do u keep talking about selective argument? of course I choose my words carefully unlike u that assume all V8 are faster than all V6 cars regardless of the size. I remember in one of ur comments and I quote 'do u know what is v8?' Also why do u keep mentioning why I didn't compare an accord V6 with a Porsche Cayenne or BMW X6. Why would I? I know the Cayenne and X6 perform better and they handle a lot better than any Honda accord ever made. I purposely chose the GX470 because I know its not that quick and doesn't handle very well compared to the Porsche, but u kept saying every big engine cars are faster than every v6 or 4 cylinder cars. And then u even had the guts to bring a slow as$ Landcruiser Prado into the mix, like really? Anyway I am still waiting for u to get home and show me a v8 prado. And for the sanity of everybody here, can u pls stop mentioning a Honda crosstour when calling fast SUV's. for u to keep mentioning that car shows u know nothing about cars. In case u don't know, the Honda accord crosstour is simply a hatchback/wagon 8th gen Honda accord popularly known as evil spirit. So if an 8th gen Honda accord is not quick enough or handle well enough, why do u think a crosstour would be quicker or handle better when it is basically the same car with higher ground level and more weight? U see that ur not even making sense. How can u even mention a crosstour in the same sentence as a Porsche Cayenne and BMW X6?. Even a crosstour V6 with awd is still not as quick as an accord v6 and that awd doesn't even improve its handling by much. Anyway I don't blame u, just because u see that the Crosstour has identical shape with the X6 u think they are the same thing? lol. |

BabaIbo: Off topic!
When you're discussing in a public forum, keep your dirty showoff to yourself. Some have cars that one of it can buy those two with enough balance(change).
Back to the topic, is Porsche cayenne, BMW x6, Crosstour and the likes not sporty SUVs made with speed in mind? Can a corolla outrun a Toyota Land cruiser Prado? These were the original argument points(yu can check the thread from beginning to see).
You just jumped to an argument without understanding the point. Lewis Hamilton escaped a serious accident some day ago, sport cars do somersault in car racing even wit their almighty balance. I don't need your explanation please.
My argument point were "some SUVs are made with speed in mind", and "some SUVs are faster than cars."
The other points you read or followed were diversions/side talks where the other guy claimed a corolla is faster than a gx470 or a Prado.
The way you people assume that others are poor is amazing. Anyway, I will ignore your ignorance on that.
Don't always involve in an argument you don't know the genesis, if you must do, endeavor to follow from the beginning.
I noticed the indirect insult in your mention but I will let it slide. Don't mention me again with this kind of response please, because I won't be polite if at all I will reply. Guy why are u lying because u want to score some cheap points? Who said a Corolla will outrun a GX470? Pls show where I said that. I clearly said not all V8's can outrun V6's especially when the V8 is an SUV and I said a V6 Honda accord of the same year will outrun a Lexus GX470 with all its V8. Never compared it with a Corolla. And as for the Prado, those things are as as slow as fu#k especially the 4 cylinder versions. Toyota corolla is a very slow car, but a 2009 Corolla will still outrun a 4 cylinder 2009 Prado. Suv's are generally not made for speed, only a few of them can hit top speed quickly while maintaining a good handling. A lot of people have lost their lives because of this misconception of thinking suvs are made for speed or that a heavy car means better handling. You will see someone put a Toyota Tundra on the highway and be feeling like he is the king of the road because its got a V8, they end up crashing it at top speed because of poor handling. |

Ur car maybe be having engine seat problem, if one or more of plugs bad, even battery among others. There is no issue with the car. Its normal for a lot of modern toyotas and other cars. Once u take out the battery and put it back, it will take some time for it to relearn the idle. Just a few kilometers of driving and it will be normal. This is why when u ask some people for their battery and they refuse, some would think they are stingy or proud. |

BabaIbo: I won't say more on that argument again because I am certain of that, all I can say is there are land cruisers with v8...
Don't say the only thing close to Prado is Lexus GX. It simply replaced Prado of Toyota Land Cruiser range in some parts of the world, and it is only rebadged.
It can be classified as the same car but different name etc. Of course land cruisers have V8 but they don't carry the Prado brand. Land cruiser Prado are cheaper versions of land cruisers for people who want to enjoy the ruggedity of land cruisers but don't need the V8 engine. It's a water downed version of the most rugged car in the world, why would they fit it with V8? And Prado is not sold in the US, Americans have the choice to pick a Lexus GX which has a V8 engine or go crazy what the full sized land cruiser. |

It is something I have seen, not hearsay or online stuff.

Just like on Nairaland forum, u posting that there's a V8 prado without proof. Someone else might put this on google and google will lead him to this thread where u claimed there's a v8 Prado. Just show me any V8 prado for sale, or the specs from a reputable website, not some blogs. Unless of course u are talking about the Lexus GX470 which is what is sold in the US instead of Prado.

9icetoo: You have tried I swear. I don't know where Nigerians got the notion that weight equals balance. I don't know. All track cars are made as light as possible with composite materials. Even a Lamborghini urus will struggle at corners compared to an F1 car which is lighter. Where then is the advantage conferred by weight in terms of balance? What does he really understand by balance? I don't know how speed makes vehicles lighter. Is there another law of physics that affects their mass? Aerodynamics may play a role on how much traction a cars tyre can provide at very high speeds but beyond that, nothing. People keep confusing steering feedback with weight perception. Weight (mass) is a killer when it comes to changing a cars direction. The heavier cars (Prados, land cruisers) will skid easily or require larger turning circles or angles at speed than a lighter car all other things (tyre condition, road condition etc) being equal. Heavier cars tend to have longer stopping distances. Lighter cara stop better. I do not see the advantage weight confers on cars with regards to "balance", speed or cornering ability. Instead, it's a disadvantage.
F1 cars will corner and accelerate faster than any heavy SUV because it is lighter even though the F1 car has a far smaller sized engine. I just don't know why many Nigerians think the heavier the car the better the handling. It's so confusing. The best handling cars are the ones with lighter weight. I understand the corollas, camrys, accrods and many everyday sedans don't handle well because they are not built to. But there are some small fun cars like the Mazda Miata, golf GTI, Honda civic type R etc that handle very well as small as they are. But how can someone think a Toyota sequoia that handles like a truck is balanced at top speed just because it has a big as$ V8 engine. |

BabaIbo: You are moving away from the point of argument and also doing selective argument bro.
The argument were "some SUVs are faster than cars" and "some SUVs are made with speed in mind"
Since you're leaving Porsche cayenne, bmw X6 etc., just to have an easy argument.
Why don't you mention a slow or small car in comparison to GX470 or sequila?
This argument will keep going back and forth if it continues, except you don't want to accept the fact. There is nothing to argue since u think a Prado is a fast car that will outrun a V6 accord. The Prado doesn't even come in V8 with all it's wight. |

BabaIbo: Why are you using GX470? Even at that, them no be mate, if that accord or corolla runs up to certain speed, it becomes light and as such very risky. I specifically used a Lexus GX470 as an example and u still tried to claim that it is faster than the accord V6 of the same year, and I just proved it to u. I didn't mention Porsche Cayenne because I know it is built to be fast and has better aerodynamics, same with the BMW X6. But u claimed the Lexus is faster because it has a v8 engine. BabaIbo: What you don't know is what it lacks in weight, it gains it via the engine work/efficiency. On a very high speed, you won't even feel the heaviness, because it would have balanced out, unlike the other that becomes lighter and dangerous because it may skid off the road due to lack of balance.
Why do you think most superfast cars carry v8 engines as their basic? Again u are wrong. The weight of the car has a lot to play on how fast it can go. This is why smaller cars with less horsepower will go faster than many heavier cars with more horsepower. Why do u think a Kawasaki zzr1400 with 190hp is a lot faster than a BMW X6 v8 with 445hp? Its because the damn bike is a whole lot lighter. The bike will do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds while the v8 X6 will do it in about 5 seconds. The bike will do quarter mile in 9.5 secs while the X6 will do it in 13.8secs. The bike will max out at 185mph while the x6 v8 will max out at 155mph. Why do u think this is possible? Its the weight coupled with how they are tuned. And u ask why do supercars carry v8? of course they have to carry big engines because bigger engines means bigger speed (when every other things like shape, weight and aerodynamics remain the same). You should be asking urself why supercars are built with carbon fiber instead of steel used in regular cars. Why they have alcantera seats instead of leather. Why they don't have back seats. All these things are to reduce their weight. If u put a ferrari engine in an SUV do u still think that suv will be as fast as the ferrari? lol. If u pick 2 super cars with similar engines and transmission, one built out of steel with back seats and leather, while the other is built out of carbon fiber with alcantera and no back seat, which one do u think will be faster? Also u need to realize that suv's have higher ground clearance which is not good for speed. Have u asked urself why fast cars have very low ground clearance? BabaIbo: I am still standing on my point that a Prado vxr/vxl will outrun a accord or corolla when handled by drivers with equal driving proficiencies. Bro, dem no be mate abeg, seeing and testing is believing in this case. No be by typing on Nairaland. A prado? Dude this must be a joke. Even a full sized landcruiser with all its v8 is not a fast car. U must be a comedian. Kuku talk say Toyota Sequoia will outrun a 2010 VW golf GTI because the Toyota carry v8 with all its 6000lb weight. |

shayubobo: Stop arguing with him. Someone comparing crosstour with accord.....can't you see that he can't even differentiate cars. I bet he doesn't know that it was honda that made crosstour. If we should tell him that there is even an i4 engine with turbo charge that will outperform a v6 now,he will still argue Lol as in eh. The crosstour is basically an 8th gen honda afford hatchback and wagon hybrid. Not an SUV |
