  1. not game developer, but web application engineer, currently swamped by amount of projects going on jokes aside, good luck on your project, let me know if you need support from turboduck, as this is a community project, we will eventually upgrade the current system which will provide hosting functionality, that will be open for mod shop file upload
  2. send me a PM when you about to release and need file hosting
  3. watched 'me before you' while ago, pretty good
  4. Google AI is trying to remove human from operating vehicle! unsurprisingly, Apple carplay in comparison actually collect much less data
  5. Toyota agrees to add Android auto in its cars From another article
  6. posting stream, integrate steam, discord, PSN/XBL, dedicated screenshot/video share ARE ALL PLANNED
  7. yes, like a catalog, you search for a vehicle by year model, get relevant info all in one page
  8. I remember when I acquired the site, previous buyer (not Diablo the 1st) was running it on a dirt cheap shared hosting with a manage layer called cpanel for those of you don't understand what means, it is basically hundreds and in some cases thousands of websites cramped into one single dedicated server with a management layer on top, basically a UI that translates user options into server command for those who don't know how to build, manage and maintain servers, it comes with many limitations, often time un-optimized and require additional resources to run when I ran through some stat checking sites, the speed was in the range of slowest site, behind 90% of all sites on the internet (don't remember the exact number) running the same checkers recently, result came in as 'very fast', sitting at top 5% of all sites on the internet Just curious how you feel on a side note: any feature do you want to be implemented? for example I was thinking a vehicle stat search, that will return all specific parts, rating, related news, reported issues, recalls, variations all in one page some of your might know I am researching vehicle to purchase recently, and I think this will be useful (let me know if such site already exist, and how do you currently find those information, as it will help me built the API) On a side note side note: do you prefer dark or light website theme?
  9. by open, doesn't mean everyone can publish article, we can have approve queued articles, while have certain user groups to be whitelisted, also allow us directly promote forum content to article.
  10. well, the idea here is do we want to keep the wordpress part as is, or merge with the forum system (so that anyone can post)
  11. so I know I didn't f*** up the database, spent whole morning working on it over the weekend
  12. update 5, fixed all broken static file references i.e images (for real this time)
  13. So I went to test drive RX450h today, in my short experience, things I like: quiet, comfy, panoramic sunroof, roomy (for passenger) just for comparison purpose, what are the competitors in the same class?
  14. As far as I know currently the only usage on Turboduck is posting blog news, I am currently incline to merge both platform into one, the benefits: look and layout will be same across entire site (altho this can still be accomplished when keeping it separate, development time is a lot more to keep them feel as part of same thing) login session will be consistent (keeping it separate can still have login be shared via Oauth 2.0, user sessions are not, meaning you login to forum and go to blog, you won't be automatically logged in, there are workarounds but future support are concerning) Make use of internal system API, for example, giving reward to member who contribute, group permissions existing posts can be migrated over, this will also save some time on upkeep (reason is simple, think maintenance on two application vs one, which one is easier) the drawbacks: available themes and plugins are significantly less by dropping wordpress (we might only be using it for blogging purpose as of now, but might be expanded for something else later on) In term of posting content, I believe currently there is no application that can beat the simplicity of wordpress would like some input from you guys
  15. we already know downside of hybrid is less cargo space, higher initial price upside is energy efficiency and quiet-ness (but I want to know more practicality of this) from my research, there are three scenarios: EV mode, internal combustion engine (ICE) + electric motor (EM) assist, ICE less noise mean you can enjoy your music better in i.e traffic, it adds another level of comfort but how often does that quiet-ness kick in with every day driving say (50-50 highway-city, 75-25, 25-75) assume 2015 or later non plug-in hybrid models vs their non hybrid counterpart say Lexus hybrid vs their non hybrid same model, is it always quieter? if not then how often not based on above scenarios
  16. To be honest not really a fan of the the Alfa Romeo design, @TIMELESS it seems I have misconception about hybrid, so my apology after doing some research, Lexus hybrid seems pretty good will go test drive at a dealer near my lease end
  17. I am not a car guru, never heard of that brand. current options are: 1, buy the new EVs that comes out (Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Kona) 2, lease a luxury EV or gas car (same as above) 3, buy an used reliable luxury car like Lexus
  18. will get it when I have time to play, my steam account is eudemon369, now sure how you add in game
  19. it does, usually option 10k 12k 15k per year I was referring to buy a used luxury car, use for 3+ years and sell it or lease a new car, use it for 3 years and dump it
  20. Yes I am leaning toward getting another 3 year lease too, this weekend my mental went through this cycle: Can I afford a new car? yes Do I need a new car? no so I looked up what's most reliable used luxury car, the answer is Lexus, But I am the type of people that get bored of car in 2~3 years, is it good idea for me to buy 3 year old Lexus for half MSRP price versus leasing?
