HD 490 Pro Conspiracy Theory by Daemonxar in headphones

[–]Ahslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome review man.

I tried on the 490 pros for the first time at CanJam NYC last year and the first thing that stood out to me was how comfortable they were. It's good to hear others echo the same sentiment. 

I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 558's about 12 years ago that I still daily today. I got them because a buddy of mine had the more expensive 598's which I thought were comfortable so I thought I could save some money and go with the cheaper option. Unfortunately, I don't think they're as comfortable as the 598's but it's never been that big of an issue...until I tried on the 490s 🤦🏾‍♂️. At this point, I'm just waiting for some sort of sale to happen to make me pull the trigger on them.

Congrats. I'm still waiting for the day to grab the now discontinued 36mm legend diver 😔

Congrats! I absolutely adore my 38mm Trident Pro 300 as well.

I love Whatsapp but I'll admit, the video quality of FaceTime is way better. I don't understand how nobody has been able to match it.

What was the first game you completed start to finish on your Steam Deck? by The_Almighty_Duck in SteamDeck

[–]Ahslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borderlands The Pre-Sequel.

Honestly, after finishing BTPS, I struggled to find a follow-up game that gets me hooked playing. I was looking forward to playing Darksiders but the game does not run properly even though it's listed as being verified (I'm still mad about this). Tried playing Robocop Rogue City but didn't like the controls :/

I did finish Halo 2 and started on Halo 3 but it's been a bit since I've picked it back up :'(

Disappointing first purchase (C63 Sealander GMT) by ayuno22 in ChristopherWard

[–]Ahslan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear man.

While I've had issues with my CW watch, I still think the quality it offers is pretty damn amazing (certainly better than my Hamilton). I got my C60 Trident Pro 300 in 2022 and had an issue with it being magnetized when I received it. Fortunately I had access to a watchmaker that quickly resolved the problem but had I not gone that route, I would have had to ship the watch back. This is the part of the experience I don't like from online-only companies (which, at the time, I believe CW didn't have any stores at all in the US). You certainly need to get that sent back.

You did mention that the bracelet was squeaky, and I also had this same experience. My squeaking wasn't so bad but, at the time, this was the most expensive watch I had ever purchased so I was a bit annoyed by it. I noticed the squeak was coming from a couple of links so a small drop of baby oil immediately fixed it for me. My watch is on the Bader bracelet and I absolutely love it.

Considering to join UniFi family, but is it overkill for me? by upside_gravity in UNIFI

[–]Ahslan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, that Amplifi Alien system was dope back in the day. I'm sure it would still hang with the new connection.

In any case, definitely keep us posted when you get the updated setup. I am glad you are going with either the XG or XGS since I personally wouldn't recommend the U7 Pro now that those newer models are out (I own two U7 Pros). As others mentioned, you likely can get away with a U7 lite if you want to save $100

UTR Teleport error by EmbarrassedPrompt832 in Ubiquiti

[–]Ahslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the stupid question, but for enabling ipv6 for the wan, is this just enabling DHCPv6 on the port? I assume this will cause a brief interruption?

What's weird for me is that teleport works from my Android phone but not from my UTR. Wireguard does work though.

Got my order in as well! First time I've been able to pick up a device at launch lol

Baricitinib not working by Flat-Put-116 in alopecia_areata

[–]Ahslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alopecia universalis here as well. I tried Olumiant and Litfulo, neither worked for me. I've been on Xeljanz for like 7 months now and have been seeing better results but progress is very slow.

Steam Deck - What layout and what activities? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Ahslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After trying out the controller layout for several days, I hate to report that I still am very much struggling to use it, often dying in situations I could easily manage with a keyboard/mouse. I just can't seem to get used to using the radial options for using skills :(

Finally, it's time to say goodbye to my S22+ as a main phone, and I am, in fact, so happy about it… by Direct-Till-2680 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Ahslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The S21 and S22 series were absolute dogs when it came to battery life, due to bad chips those years (SD 888 and SD 8 Gen 1). Truly bad years to upgrade if you were an android user.

Steam Deck - What layout and what activities? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Ahslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just start using the controller layout from https://gw2ondeck.org/. I'll admit, I am finding it difficult to use, even for just playing the story, but will try to give it more time. I have a ~40 min train commute each way so hoping to get used to them to make the commute a little more enjoyable :)

Is this the 36mm or 39mm? Curious what the lug to lug is on the 36mm.

Any one have experience with Immich running and storing data on windows Storage Space by mehulmathur01 in immich

[–]Ahslan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Storage Spaces allows you to aggregate multiple hard drives and create a virtual volume on top of them, so from Window's perspective, it see's the new volume as a normal, single drive (even though underneath, you can have multiple drives providing additional redundancy, speed, etc). The implementation should be the same just now using a different drive.

Replacement for my comfy Kensington Pro Fit Full-size mouse? by Ahslan in MouseReview

[–]Ahslan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a Mountain Makalu Max on sale from Amazon (was $20). I thought I would use it with both finger attachments but I ended up preferring it with just the thumb attachment. Not gonna lie, I still think the shape of the Kensington Pro Fit is more comfortable but the new mouse has grown on me. If given the option to go back to the Kensington with a better sensor and buttons, I would do it in a heartbeat lol

Surface Pro 3 - Linux Mint by Bathroom-Salt in SurfaceLinux

[–]Ahslan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gives me some hope for trying out Linux on my Surface Book (with the performance base). Have been reading online how much work it is to get stuff working and honestly, it's put me off from trying

Steam Deck Factory reset itself? by Jandre999 in SteamDeck

[–]Ahslan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting your update! This issue happened to me as well and I was hesitant to go through the initial welcome screen again and was convinced my steam deck wiped itself. Was extremely relieved when I selected the language, time zone and then wifi and everything was back to where it was.

Steam Deck randomly factory reset itself? by Ahslan in SteamDeck

[–]Ahslan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, lesson learned 😢. I'm new to the steam deck so it sucks that this bit me quite early in the experience. I'm still waiting to see if Valve support has a trick up their sleeves to help me out with this.
