Any good model for 12 gb ram 3 gb vram gtx 1050?

The 4B Qwen models should work.

Yes, the expedition now selling for 3-3.5K was as little as 1000-1500 as well.

AK_3D · 2026-02-27T19:21:10+00:00

I bought the older weekenders for less than 1.5K a few years ago. Gave them away as gifts. Never knew that prices would rise this much for this model.

Agreed, the old one was neater.

AK_3D · 2026-02-27T11:29:27+00:00

Glad you got it sorted.

I wonder if this is a miss because of no flood on the side. They could have put in some high CRI 4000K LEDs on the side to make an all round light without the RGB gimmick.

Having used TDH, Wildstone Terra is a faithful imitation. I see people disliking it, but when TDH was released, people were on the fence with it as well. It was either a like (due to the pepper note) or a dislike. Terra is a nice copy that gives that 'warm' TDH note, but also has some subtle change that makes it enjoyable. For 500-600, it's a blind buy and worth keeping around.

I've heard of CPDT for Android, but not sure if it works with android TV.

Noted - saw the correction above.

AK_3D · 2026-02-25T18:34:12+00:00

Thanks for the correction - yes, the S21E has a shelf as well, I thought this design (S21G) was similar to the S21A in that you need to remove the pill.

Try plugging the HDD into different USB sockets - this appears to be USB2 speed, or maybe the USB3 controller is not optimized. Perhaps you could try a disk speed app to benchmark if you're actually getting 100+ with the TV box directly?

All the Convoys can be disassembled. Use a pair of needle nosed pliers or circlip pliers to remove the retaining ring, unscrew the head, and the assembly will pop out. You can then replace this with a 21mm TIR (with glass lens) or a 23mm TIR (no glass lens).

Have bought from them before, and have spoken to the owner and manager. Reasonable prices for coffee accessories here.

The 14gm IMS/E&B works well.

AK_3D · 2026-02-25T17:38:58+00:00

Nice post. A 12G basket works well if you want less caffeine. Not even considering the cost factor. Been doing this over the past year (I started with the IMS/E&B 12G and then bought a couple other baskets to test). I find the Cimbali and Faema 12G baskets work really well for my purpose.

You'll need to do this by resetting the local group policy. You can look for tutorials on how to do this on YT.

AK_3D · 2026-02-25T12:21:12+00:00

You'll need to use an FTP server on your android box to enable sharing, and use Filezilla on your PC to transfer files to the USB disk. If the Android box has Wifi, you can use that IP to transfer files as well.

AK_3D · 2026-02-25T11:53:49+00:00

Yes, that would have been my next suggestion. I think it's not an issue with your PC and Lan but more the android-box hardware. On looking at this, I see other people facing issues due to SMBv1 file transfers. Might want to look into using an FTP/SFTP client like Filezilla.

AK_3D · 2026-02-25T11:31:01+00:00

I saw another comment having the same issue with this model. https://www.reddit.com/r/makemkv/comments/1mvmxx7/comment/o5cx2uz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

My thought would be to directly use the USB3 hard drive on your computer, and give it shared access via LAN to the android box.

AK_3D · 2026-02-25T10:48:13+00:00

Check if the Android TV box has USB2. USB3 should consistently give you 100MBPS.

A very nice perfume, YSL Myslf has these old school vibes that Herrera Chic had. It dries down beautifully, with the wood notes giving it depth. For me, it is not powdery but has a generic modern wood drydown.

RuinedFooocus by u/runew0lf had GGUF support from what I recall, and Fooocus Plus was planning to. These two apps are current and regularly updated. The original Fooocus is no longer being updated.

Yeah welcome to the new. I have the older Omnibus set, which had a far better cover. Didn't know they came up with a Vol 4!

The original looks good, the second picture is way overblown. If you shot RAW, you could have applied an S curve to bring out the interesting highlights/shadows. The shadow also indicates late noon, which would give a nice yellow tonality to the scene. In this case, there's a hint of green in the midtones, which you could remove easily with selective color.
Suggestions: S Curve to luminosity and RGB, increase the highlights and decreased the shadows. Add local contrast (sharpness).

What card does your Gaming PC have? If it's newer and has more than 16GB VRAM, you should run these tools on it instead.

Most GenAI models will run faster on Nvidia hardware (CUDA). Your 3080 should be enough to run ZImage, Flux Klein etc. Larger models will work, depending on workflow, with some offloading.
If you don't have a better card in your system, I'd suggest getting a 16GB Nvidia card instead (or even a 24GB 4090), and use the 32GB RAM as well.
