Just a quick post for Internet longevity. (There wasn't a dedicated Honda community I could find on Lemmy and fuck Reddit, so here I am.)

From what I could find online, some Honda and Acura owners will get stuck with a TT06 (or TT04) error when the system attempts to update itself. I bought my '23 Accord new and have been plagued with this for the last two years. This may affect other '23 models, but I cannot confirm this by just reading through rando Honda forums.

The first service bulletin with a fix, that doesn't work, is here for Accords: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10237040-0001.pdf The error will return after another update is available as it did for me. (Simply doing a TCU reset doesn't fix the issue.)

The Honda service tech will need to contact Honda and force an update override to get the latest TCU updates installed. (While I am not a Honda tech, I am a nerd. There was an off-by-one issue with time synchronization which I know can cause all kinds of issues with various flavors of hardware and software update systems.)

I had to call Honda and open a case with them directly, have them contact the service manager directly so they could get updated service instructions. (Weird.)

TCU updates that were installed for my Accord that seems to have fixed the issue:

Cheers! I was just doing a brain-dump while this was still fresh in my mind and the firmware screenshots were still at the top of my photo list.

My apologies for a somewhat irrelevant post in this community, but cars.

tl;dr: looking for a moderately intense upper body workout that will impact heart rate the most.

I am a "new" runner again after not going out of my way to exercise for the last 20 years or so. My blood pressure had gotten insane (resting rate was clocked at +180/+120 at a Dr. checkup earlier this year.) so I decided to take action.

For the past couple of months, I have been working my way up from walking, to power-walking, to almost jogging and now into actual running at probably a 8-10 minute/mile pace. Thankfully, I have always been on the thinner side, so I get to focus purely on cardio for now.

Of course, my posture and gait sucked ass at first and I was pushing too hard without much recovery time, so as a result, I am babysitting minor MCL injuries right now. There isn't anything torn or anything, just sore as hell. I literally just got back from a 2.5 mile walk, but it was kind of pointless as it was extremely slow pace and I had to stay focused on knee safety.

However, as a result of the walking/jogging/running, my resting blood pressure is already down to a reasonable average of 124/90 and my Dr. has reduced my BP meds (beta blockers). As hell has apparently frozen over, she even managed to crack a smile over my lifestyle changes. (She has seen me through some rough times to include my most severe alcoholism days, so I was just used to stern looks and pseudo-lectures.)

Through my fitness apps, I noticed a direct correlation between max heart rate achieved (over time) to reduction of BP and lower resting heart rate and I want more!

On my running down time/recovery time, I would like keep to pushing my heart rate a bit. What upper body exercises are best for heart rate as I still am able to commit 1-1.5 hrs per day to fitness? Until I can plateau my fitness level and switch to more "maintenance syle" exercises, I would prefer to keep pushing fairly hard.

Any suggestions would be appreciated and I hope my storytime post gave context to my situation. Cheers!

So, yeah. It's been a few years sober now, so that is nice.

One thing I have noticed about myself is the actual existence of a personality. It wasn't a change that happened within the first few months of being sober, but over the following years.

Strangely enough, a bizarre trait is that if given the chance, I can talk about just about anything for hours. My saving grace is that I was always a repository for massive amounts of random information, but now, I can string all of that data together into coherent sentences then easily pivot into all related sub-topics and associated information on top of that.

I make a ton more off-the-cuff jokes now and I don't even know where they come from. It seems I have the ability to make people laugh, which I never thought possible.

Overall, my personality has become extremely broad these days and the above is just a couple of examples. One might say that I am a pleasant person to be around? (That is a very strange feeling, BTW.)

Has anyone else seen themselves or others go through massive personality shifts like I describe? I am not understating "massive". I surprise myself nearly every day with how intense I can get.

FWIW, I was an extremely heavy drinker when I quit and was about a year into serious dependency.

Quick definition for those who don't know: Cognitive dissonance occurs when a person's behavior and beliefs do not complement each other or when they hold two contradictory beliefs.

Story time! Please read this in it's entirety as there is important context as well as an actual point.

I have been spending some time with the in-laws over the past couple of weeks, because reasons. They are an immigrant family, but have been in the US since the tail end of the Vietnam war. All hold US citizenship and it's a large family.

Politics has cone up occasionally, but for the most part, we tend to steer away from those discussions when we mistakenly bring them up in conversation. Strangely enough, some are actually Trump supporters but I wouldn't go so far as to say anyone is full-blown "MAGA" or anything. I would describe the support as mild and truly ignorant of broader level politics.

So, there was some discussion about how immigrants needed to be kicked out of the US and there was support for mass deportations. Another conversation was about how "everyone"abused food stamps and welfare, but within about 10 mins, the discussion flipped to what products another person in the family could buy with their EBT card. Medicare and Medicaid is also a waste of the countries money, but then later there was a discussion about how to use those benefits for another family member.

Politics aside, cognitive dissonance is a bitch to deal with, especially when it's coupled with anecdotal evidence that may not even be real. I suspect that any experience with other "immigrants" I heard over the last couple of weeks are likely the result of a single, heavily biased experience coupled with gossip. (The gossip may create false memories of a situation the person believes is true. I think there is a special name for that.)

Telling a person bluntly that they are wrong is usually counter productive. Calling out the contradictions in beliefs can also be strangely unproductive as well. When a valid argument is made and a person realizes they can't resolve a conflicting belief, the tendency seems to be to fall back on a generic phrase like, "Well, I don't fully understand it, but that person must know what they are doing.", or something similar.

Provided that you actually give a shit, how do you go about cracking the shell of someone that has fallen victim to this kind of thing?

I have no plans to move from Lemmy any time soon, but I am curious if PieFed integration was being considered.

It would probably make more sense to fork Connect but a "multi-client" would be neat.

There seems to be a correlation between how long a feed hasn't been interacted with and this behavior. (Scroll up and down a feed; Wait a random amount of time; pre-fetching seems to halt.)

There are times when pre-fetching the feed can be slow and briefly pause while loading. Sometimes, this is when the feed will lock up.)

... this happens more often on cursed memes. /s

I can still slide to open the menu, but cannot take action on the feed. (The + button opens in the fore-foreground, so it works as well as 'back to exit' Connect.)

I was playing with the thumbnail preview in fairly rapid succession when one just "stuck".

Seemingly random. Error may only happen on the first post a new thread. Could be a server-side issue, but not sure.

Menu -> Refresh does not cause this issue.

I just realized that I have never used an oscilloscope on anything over 50V DC. (There has never been a need, actually.)

The goal is to trace how noise generated by my PC GPU is propagating through the power circuit. As I don't want to start tossing in power filters at random spots, it would be nice to actually understand what is going on first.

TBH, measuring mains AC doesn't seem any different than any other measurement I would take, other than using a 1:100 scope probe. Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of that would put my scope at risk?
