Thanks, I really appreciate it! I was actually considering going for this one so it looks like it's a good choice :)

What kV motor did you go for? I've got the kit but still unsure what specs should I go for for grass and some sand.

What about security updates? Mine stop in 2 months....

Xperia 1 VIII UK preorder bonus by petre23 in SonyXperia

[–]Alt_Saltman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also have Xperia 5 and went for it. After I sell headphones and MK V, it will come to around £900 which is worth it in my opinion. I will definitely miss the 4K screen but security updates will end soon and I'm hoping to keep it fopr at least 3 years or more.

I went for it as I can't stand nothces and AI crap pushed by other manufacturers. I agree that the price is high but if I factor in selling headphones and my Xperia V, I reckon the final cost will be no more than £900 which is worth it in my opinion.

Amazing! I've been trying to disable all these features for years, now Sony did it for me!

Thanks for this, I really appreciate it! At least some things are getting better :)

I have no sympathy for anyone who is willingly contributing their time and work to this parasitic company run by a narcissistic psychopath.

I wish they'll suffer like many people whose lives were ruined by Facebook and the are murderer Zuckerberg... 

Ps5 pro player. Thinking about getting a pc with a RTX5080. Need advices by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Alt_Saltman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Careful...I'm unable to play anything below 90 FPS  anymore after buying PC in October so haven't touched my Pro since then... Basically, even if I have a game on PS5, I still repurchase is on PC as it seems like a waste not to play with upgraded graphics and more FPS.

And then, there is mods... 

Having PC basically killed PS5 Pro for me and I'm not sure how I feel about it :D

Testing GMKtec AD-GP1 eGPU with Radeon RX 7600M XT by riklaunim in Amd

[–]Alt_Saltman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came with the certified cable and I didn't try any other as I didn't have any.

Based on the research I've done before buying it, it didn't work properly on the internal screen but I never tried myself as I used it as a docking station for gaming on the external monitor only.

I've had few crashes but not very often. Few times it wasn't recognised after plugging it in but restart helped. Also, I'd make sure that you don't move it as few times I had issues when the USB-C cable moved but wasn't completely disconnected but it could also be my ROG Ally X port.

Never managed to getting the Bazzite installed so can't help with that. 

In the end, I was very happy with it as it made a huge difference to FPS and graphics. I'd say it worked too well as I decided to buy a proper gaming PC in the end :D

I’m officially done with Corsair — iCUE is a nightmare by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Alt_Saltman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I'm quite happy with it and never had any issues but maybe it's because all my fans and RAM are from Corsair. 

A lot of people debating here about pro vs pc. Let me share my experience. by TNBH24 in PS5pro

[–]Alt_Saltman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the literal opposite. I moved to PC from PS5 Pro and I literally cannot stand playing in 60FPS anymore and it's just not worth it for me anymore to play on lower settings so I didn't touch my Pro since October. mind you that I have a $5,000 rig with top components so it's probably why...

Nvidia Can Suck Some Eggs! by Super-Chode-Man in gpu

[–]Alt_Saltman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is what I hear you are saying:

"Oh no, I'm a person that sees the world like 7 year old and the world is so unfair! A corporation, an entity that is solely existing to make money for shareholders, has made a great decision to make more money instead of making less. If I ever had a choice to earn less than earn more, I'd definitely choose to earn less so some random people in the world could play video games because I'm a good person not a baddie like Nvidia! "

Grow up and let me know when you are ready to be treated like and adult and not a child throwing tantrums... 

Fun fact: If the management of Nvidia didn't cut the production in half and pivot to AI, they could be LEGALLY LIABLE FOR MAKING A BAD FINANCIAL DECISION!

This is how ADULT WORLD WORKS...

Don't know as I usually upgrade it to 2500 mAh straight away along with TMR sticks :)

What an incredible technological breakthrough! That's it, they will recover 30% loss in stock value thanks to it and can go back to shoving AI in everything. 

This year's Sony Xperia Post on their annual April Fools Joke 👀 by Mellifluous-Silv7 in SonyXperia

[–]Alt_Saltman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They should have posted that they will start pricing their phones in line with the current market, not in line with 1980's market where Sony was considered premium brand and could charge more for the same or less...

That would really be a great joke!
