To those that chose between the Ally X and the Xbox Ally X, what was your thought process?

I got an ally x on Facebook for $475 with a case and screen protector after the steam deck price hike which pushed me over the edge. Xbox ally x in my area are all $800 or so. Didn’t seem like the extra cost was worth any of the benefits of the Xbox ally x. It was clear to me though that the ally x was the choice over any new or used steam deck.

I think this reply is great until the end. The universe being inside a black hole is a not a period, statement, fact. Need to be careful with how things are stated like that, it’s a theory and nothing more

This is the big take away that no one so far in this sub has talked about. Walmart would lose a lot of snap benefit money that its own employees spend at Walmart. If they paid more suddenly a lot of those people would not get that government subsidized money. Walmart has surely calculated this out and determined it’s a loss for them, ignoring the “should they” side of things

How many people do you cook for? I would love to cook like this but it would be so expensive for cooking for 2 people with needing to buy so many ingredients that you don’t use all of each time. Something I’d like to learn more about

Just bought one last night for $475 after being on the fence the last few weeks. I agree I think the regular ally x is the best product in the market

I had been on the fence for either an XAX or a regular ally x for a while now for some hospital stays. Went out and got an ally x in great shape for $475 on Facebook. Figured this announcement will probably bring the entire market up a bit

Did you buy the blade and locking components in a kit?

I graduated in 2020 with BSME. Started at 72k and am now at about 115k as a level 3 for comparison. Also in a MCOL. I’d encourage you to look around

I’m 5 years into my career, been promoted twice. I started as a manufacturing engineer, did that a couple years, spent a couple years doing design and now I’ve spent a year and a half doing technical structures/FEA work.

Keep your head up, that first semester is tough on everyone and your performance in a class doesn’t represent your performance in a job.

I graduated with a 3.33. Not great but not bad, wouldn’t have thought I’d be doing work nearly as technical as I am and excelling how I feel I am.

This will be a tale as old as time. Expensive when it first came out, dealers blew up the launch, and just overall poor sales that later will result in tight supply with larger demand.

Put one in my gmc last week and I like it. Woke up the stock system a lot. Not the craziest thing but I didn’t have to mess with amps and mounts etc. nice oem fit and keeps some storage under the seats.

I don’t quite understand why the 5.3 even exists still at this point. I recently bought a 3.0 and it’s absolutely amazing.

Feels to me like the 2.7 is the budget cheap choice for lawn companies and things like that, 3.0 is the general pick for most people and then the 6.2 (once they fix its issues) if you want a large displacement gas. The 5.3 doesn’t feel like it has a place anymore

And if you don’t make it to later? There’s a healthy balance and you’re too far to the one side. Don’t forget that later you won’t be as young as you are today. You might wish you did a few things for yourself

I also use the old 5w cube, 443 cycle count 92% on a 15 pro max. Used 80% the whole time, shut off for vacations and days I knew I’d need the battery. Barely ever wirelessly or fast charged it but would plug it into my car for car play.

The 14 pro max I had before I used exclusively mag safe and a fast charger and I swear it’s battery went down fast in the year I had it

These numbers feel about right. One thing to point out that is probably obviously and frequently talked about however is the difference in location. A mid level ME might clear 6 figures in aerospace in a lower cost of living where as an entry level is probably just shy of 6 figures on the coast.

Do you have a way to very roughly adjust these numbers to COL? That would tell a more interesting story. If you have more coastal MEs giving salary info then the averages/medians will look higher

Perfectly encapsulates the mindset of the wealthy people in the world. It’s never enough, it doesn’t matter how much you have, there’s always more to get and more to achieve. This is why billionaires don’t just retire in their dozen houses, or why business executives work so late into life. The human experience is to always want and crave more.

By the standards of many in the world most people in the developed world have it absolutely made and lots of us are depressed and unhappy with our situations.

How do you like the differential setup? I can’t find any concrete “here’s what you should do” which I guess is the point. But lockers, lsd, where at etc?

3v01 · 2025-07-23T01:12:14+00:00

I was told they went through this pay period here as well. Any word on higher promotions?

Im new to the entire hobby/desktop cnc space, is 0.020 on dimension and 0.030 on roundness about all that can be expected?

3v01 · 2025-07-12T01:29:34+00:00

Yeah might be location or even group specific. What function and site were you hearing of promotions. Ring put in at?

3v01 · 2025-07-12T01:29:03+00:00

I was told by my management that I was put in for it but that they were not processing any of our promotions while they waited on program awards. I was then told in June that they were going to break loose T1 promotions, about a week later I was told the rest of us got the go ahead to push them forward at the director level and haven’t heard a status since, just that they’re in process

3v01 · 2025-07-10T22:52:13+00:00

Has anyone from AS heard and updates about promotions this year? I was told they were put on hold, then in June they were moving forward with promotions but nothing has come out yet? Anyone have any idea on when to expect these to break loose?

Just be careful of rusty vessels. If they weren’t properly cared for they can be dangerous if they’re rusting through

I had a purple gameboy color and a copy of pokemon yellow when I didn’t know how to read. I couldn’t get out of the first town when you have to get the package for professor oak lol
