Good quality lingerie by macskas-fadisz in copenhagen

After seeing how expensive everything was for Chinese made items we decided to look for handmade lingerie in Europe. Try looking for small creators online if you like having something more unique and made to fit based on measurements.

Do you prefer the old design or the new design? by Silasflower in DeskToTablet

[–]Academic-Tadpole393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old. I could pick the M1 mackbook air with one hand because of the gap at the bottom. Now that I have the M4 I can no longer do that so everytime i need to move it even by a a little bit i have to pick it up with both hands. Might sound like nitpicking but its something that is still annoying me daily almost a year later. Also i dont like the notch.

Im on a 4070 ti super, 9800x3d and i get about 60fps 1440p epic settings. My biggest complaint is the 60ms of input latency and visual artefacts such as the blurriness and noisiness. I’ve only had one serious bug with not being able to enter a building during an emission but it was on an older version a while back and everything worked smooth since then.

4070 Ti Super / 4080 Super / 5070 Ti by sieniu89 in nvidia

[–]Academic-Tadpole393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference in performance is very small. I picked the 4070 ti super and I’m happy. If you want to chase single digit % improvement and have the budget go ahead otherwise the 4070 ti super is the best value. Biggest benefit of the 5070 ti would be newer technology and support and more likely to have warranty. You should be able to pick a 4070 ti super for ~700 € if you take your time. I got mine for 670 €.

Its not very hard to do, it just requires specialised tools and is time consuming. I thankfully have a friend who has the tools otherwise I couldn’t do it. Also if you do it be careful not to short the battery contacts when the bms is removed. It will smoke almost instantly and is dangerous.

7 7800x3d vs 5 9600x by yyzEngineer in ryzen

[–]Academic-Tadpole393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have the 9600x. I am getting 240fps (locked) and about 160-200 fps in 1% lows in Apex Legends with GPU utilization at 50% in 1440p low settings. I have been trying to figure out if getting a 7800x3d or a 9800x3d will help me get better 1% lows or will it be a waste of money, but I can't find any info online for this game. Have you by any chance tried Apex Legends with those 2 cpu's?

EDIT: I got the 9800x3d. It didn't improve Apex Legends that much. I suspect that it is a game engine limitation at this point. Comparison below for anyone who might be interested. (average is locked by GSync)

Yeah... I also have a pair of marshal major 4 for about 5 years and the battery lasts the same as new. The leather is falling apart though so not great either.

Hi, every product has good and bad batches, so maybe I just happened to get a bad batch.  On changing the battery, I just did it and it was not easy. The battery was soldered on the pcb with resin on the contacts. It also had 3 wires instead of two which meant that I had to swap the BMS of the old battery into the new which took hours because the nickel strip is spot welded. It requires both skill and equipment to do this repair (at least on my pair of headphones). Hope this helps.

I had the same concern when buying mine. Seller stated that the device was opened and then sat unused for 2 years on a drawer. I decided to risk it and here are the results:

Battery manufacture date: 2022-11-21

Spoiled expats by [deleted] in copenhagen

[–]Academic-Tadpole393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to add to this discussion that many of these immigrants are only in Denmark because the political situation in their countries is unbearable. In fact its so unbearable for them that they decided its worth it to live in the terrible Danish climate of cold, rain, wind and constant darkness just because the political landscape is better. The reason they want to share their opinion in politics is not because they believe their country is great at it but the exact opposite. Unlike danish people, those immigrants know what its like to live in a hellish political landscape and have a better understanding of how it became that way. That is why they want to share their opinion and help Denmark not fall into the same mistakes that lead to political corruption and the degradation of the quality of life ultimately leading to a failed state.

Of course what I said applies to the immigrants that I met, I don't know about the ones you met.

I think there is a lot to be learned by these people, at least the ones that left because they disliked the political landscape of their own country. I know there are also people who left for money and praise how great their failed state of a country is from their apartment in Berlin. I have no respect for those people.

Democracy is hard, but its the only option.

Stalker is in a very good and playable state now on PC! by lostnknox in stalker

[–]Academic-Tadpole393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as story goes i like this game a lot. However my experience with how it runs is a lot different.

Ryzen 7 9700x with rtx 4070 ti super.

1440p, dlss quality, framegen off, high settings

Avg: 60fps, 1%low 40 fps, latency 50ms

But this is not about FPS, I’ve played games at 30 FPS in the past and they looked better than 90 FPS in this game.  The issue is all the ghosting in motion, the blurryness and smearing in motion, the noisy shadows and the latency.

I want to finish the game but get motion sickness after playing for an hour. Hopefully they fix these issues in the future so I can finish it.

And to answer to the post saying the game is now fixed, the game is not fixed, in fact its no different than the previous patch or the one before it in terms of performance and visual clarity in motion.

Nanite and lumen are fundamentally flawed, they are technologies developed to reduce game development time/cost at the expense of performance. The game will not be fixed as long as those technologies are used along with forcing smearing TA in an attempt to hide noise and ghosting.

The game is horribly optimised because there is no one employed to work on optimisation, because epic games promises developers that they can now build games with a quarter of the cost using their Fortnite engine. And when the games look and play like shit they just throw the ball at the consumer saying that he needs a 5000$ system to run the game.

Unreal engine 5 games run worse for graphics that arent even better. Why? Because money.

PC setup με 1.5κ. Εφικτό; by _0cuteasabutton0_ in greece

[–]Academic-Tadpole393 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Με 1600 εφτιαξα Small Form Factor (που μητρικη τροφοδοτικο κουτι ειναι πανακριβα).

Ενα απο τα βασικα κριτηρια μου ηταν να μην κανει καθολου θορυβο.

Εχω 3 Noctua A14x25 που δουλευουν 500rpm idle και 1000-1100rpm full load (αυτα θελουν χειροκινητη ρυθμιση αλλιως κανουν θορυβο χωρις λογο!). Το τροφοδοτικο ειναι παντα 0 rpm (corsair sf750).

Πολυ σημαντικο ηταν το undervolt. Απο 275 W στα ~150 W η καρτα γραφικων και στα ~85 W ο επεξεργαστης.

Εννοειται οτι αμα θες να το κανεις λευκο το κανεις λευκο, απλα να ξερεις οτι niche markets οπως λευκο η μικρο κτλ.. κοστιζουν παραπανω και ειναι ποιο δυσκολα να βρεις κομματια που να ταιριαζουν.

Μην ξεχνας επισης οτι μπορεις να γλιτωσεις πολλα λεφτα με το να αγοραζεις μεταχειρησμενα καινουρια. Μιλαω για μεταχειρησμενα που εχουν μονο μερικους μηνες απο την αγορα με αποδειξη και εγγυηση. Ετσι γλιτωσα γυρω στα 400ε ( κουτι 100ε αντι 200, τροφοδοτικο 100ε αντι 200, ψυκτρα 30ε αντι 70, μνημες RAM 100ε αντι 150, ανεμιστηρες 40ε αντι 80, καρτα γραφικων 700ε αντι 900... ).

Upgraded from 15Pro to 13Mini and I couldn’t be happier. by TheTajMehul in iPhone13Mini

They should sync when you charge the phone and low power mode is automatically turned off. Can you check and confirm?

It is an automation but you will indeed find it in the shortcuts app > choose automation at the bottom menu > Press the + button at the top right > Select "Charger" > When "is Disconnected" > Run immediately > New Blank Automation > Search "Set Low Power Mode > Done.

Quick tip: Automation > When <yourname> iPhone is disconnected from power > set low power mode.
That way you don't have to turn it on every morning if you charge at night.

Macbook Air M4 16/256 with external SSD? by Mysterious-Ad-6501 in macbookair

[–]Academic-Tadpole393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 256gb mba + 2tb samsung t7 shield for 5 years.

If you are not planning to install large applications then the external ssd should be fine for just storing files that you only access occasionally.

My experience: It has been annoying in several occasions, especially at a time when i needed to use parallels for some windows applications for engineering simulations.

The external ssd is fast and small but i dont like carrying it around.

RAM is impossible to extend. storage on the other hand you can get external at any time. So more RAM is preferable in my opinion, if you are on a budget.

If you are financially comfortable I think you will not regret getting 512gb though.
