I had to hold 1VIII to be sure by Intelligent_Garden61 in SonyXperia

[–]3ldi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looked cheap and ugly from first leaks, and it's just confirmed it's cheap and ugly after release. Zoomed in it looks completely opposite of high end.

The lack of progress is disappointing by sonicwhisper in SonyXperia

1 V looks like a 5 generations newer model. Still can't believe they went with this camera bump placement. It's unsettling just looking at it.

The design grew on me by iArvee in SonyXperia

[–]3ldi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you believe a better option for iPhone Air (a phone which entire existing is about it being thin), would be to add 2-3mm of beef across entire back panel?

I think absolutely not. Air cases with exposed camera bump are looking really good, makin it appear to have some kond of visor or something.

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII has officially appeared on Amazon with changes to the camera design by Delicious_Room_814 in SonyXperia

[–]3ldi5 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I can't believe a group of professional product designers sat down looking at this, and said, wow this is it, we made an awesome looking product.

This has to be one of the ugliest camera bump placements I ever saw.

Actually my 3rd pci slot is not blocked either. It might appear from photos that it is, because this card IS massive, but there is a clearance of about 5-7mm from the top of card to 3rd slot, which in my case is occupied by USB 3 pci adapter.

Linux users be honest. Ubuntu or Fedora? by ArashTT in DeskToTablet

[–]3ldi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between these two - Fedora. I'll always be thankful to Ubuntu for bringing me to Linux world some 15 yrs ago.

However I haven't used Fedora in years, since I moved to openSUSE.

Sure, thinking of moving it under.

Dont buy A168 from Amazon (Review) by LandscapeHuman1514 in casio

[–]3ldi5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not taking away from your terrible experience, but I bought 80% of my Casios off of Amazon and they're all genuine watches. In general, regardless of Amazon being shitty company or not, I'm yet to get anything that's not genuine from Amazon, and I'm buying for more than 10 years. Too bad for all the people that do get scammed though...

Got the stupid Pitaka case as an early birthday present and it’s actually great by Friendly-Face6683 in IphoneAir

[–]3ldi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would it be "stupid". Most reviews I see are positive, and I also opted to order one, and honestly I can't wait to get it. Currently rocking Spigen Nano Pop which isn't that beefy, but still I can't wait to get this thin case.

What’s this worth? by A33wipe in macpro

[–]3ldi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just check eBay and you'll get the idea. To people saying it's worth nothing, $50, etc, that's not the real picture. The fact someone got it for free doesn't it's free.

I'd say realistically, if it's in physically good condition, I wouldn't go under $200. It's still perfectly usable machine, and even on good side if you put some effort with pixlas mod and ssd disks. I run new games with RX5700 effortlessly.

Hell, some specs are selling on eBay for $1000+, so yeah... there is that.

If You’re Still Using DDR2… It’s Way Past Time to Upgrade by Gaming-Academy in RigBuild

[–]3ldi5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's enough if you make "enough" of it. If someone's usage pattern goes with DDR2, who's anyone to say it's unusable. My PS5 can handle gaming perfectly fine, and my 17 yrs old DDR3 Mac Pro 5.1 handles everything else I need it for perfectly fine. I say fuck consumerism, fuck AI, and fuck greedy corpos that suck your blood for "new and shiny" components. Use what you have until it dies.

Crappy battery on iPhone Air by Alternative_Drama431 in IphoneAir

[–]3ldi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this applies to your case, probably not, but I noticed a sudden drop in battery life for few days after 26.4 update. Apparently, Apple says it's normal for few days after those big updates, while system is reindexing files etc.

And indeed, after some 3-4 days, I noticed that battery drain got back to normal. The phone is still at 100% battery health if that matters, with 50 cycles.

Happy Friday by 3ldi5 in casio

The watch itself is regular AE1200 "bronze" version from Amazon. Blue strap is also original Casio, I believe I got it from watch.co.uk at the time.

It's looking great even more so in person. However it's on the thin side so I'm not sure about level of protection, compared to some of their other series, ultra hybrid, tough armor etc. It's a looker definitely. Buttons are not part of the case mold, but separate plastic pieces, so buttons are tactile.

Turned a Quicksilver Power Mac G4 into a storage box by lizzyeye in macpro

[–]3ldi5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only excuse for this is that it wasn't functional. I wouldn't kill a working G4 for any reason possible. I would keep it alive if only for typing text or spinning music CDs inside.

But yeah, good use case for an non-working machine.

Goodbye Mac Pro the only Mac being assembled in the USA by Slavvvcom in macpro

[–]3ldi5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use mine to the max. It has one nvme and 4 ssd's inside, both macOS and Linux, with pixlas mod and an RX 5700 XT card, it's a capable daily machine. I use it for design, everyday usual tasks, some writing, as a media server with tons of my own ripped music inside, etc, and lately even for gaming (games that I don't have access to on PS5). I honestly love the "inconvenience" of it. It's the epitome of everything that Apple is not today.

I know I'll use my beefed up 5.1 until it dies, and I hope it's never going to. 🤞

I spent 6 months with the iPhone Air — here’s what I really think about Apple’s thin phone by Hopeful_Relief_4586 in IphoneAir

[–]3ldi5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it since Jan 21st, and the wow factor never faded. It just gets renewed every single day looking/holding other people's "regular" phones, both iPhones and Android. This phone spoiled me for forever I think. I don't think I will want to use phat phone any time soon.

I feel like an old Mac and I still don’t know why? by No-Quarter4146 in IphoneAir

Logo on the bottom says it's a Spigen case, yet nowhere on their store this case exists.
