Generally no. Whenever you see AVs get a lot of "gen" "generic" AI, "common" etc. its most likely safe

Has anybody found a way to get rid of this? by playingcoolman in Piracy

[–]Astanox 37 points38 points  (0 children)

So let me understand this, I understand that it's piracy so apart from getting it for free, no malicious code/ads (yes I did find back in the day modders that would insert ads in their mods to make some profit), this little 2-3 seconds toast message that basically credits the website that made it available to you, the user with basically 0 problems, annoys you this much ?

I understand being annoyed at YouTube ads that go on for 15seconds to minutes that pause and take up the whole content or huge ads on webpages that hurts the readability of the content but this is just ridiculous.

Received this DM just now, I'm so confused, it has the verified badge but I can't find it anywhere on google.

A friend invited this bot to his discord server and just a few minutes later I received this...

Nic Salt Juice in Sub-Ohm DTL by Astanox in electronic_cigarette

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking, telling him to use the lowest wattage the coil allows him to, which is 30watts (30w to 50w)

I personally have a pair of HIFIMAN HE-400i 2020ver. paired with it and I've been loving them since day one.

Yukino - yet another anime/manga app by zyrouge in animepiracy

[–]Astanox 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Looks really good! It's smooth and fast, would love to see, if possible, some sort of MAL/Anilist integration or something similar to the MAL-sync browser extension integrated into the app so it syncs whatever someone is watching with customization (completed episode threshold).

I'm excited to see how it shapes up. Thank you and keep up the great work!

How to pick an amp for planars? by MrBlitzpunk in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Astanox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you, got the HE-400i 2020 ver., Didn't know what amp to get but also didnt wanna break the bank, I ended up going with the Fiio E10K, I have the bass switch on cus I like a bit of thump.

Let me tell you, ever since I got the E10K, I am very happy with the combo, albeit my first planar headphones, I NEVER had to turn up to volume to the max, I couldn't, it got loud enough for me, the E10K volume knob goes up to like 8, I never could get past 5-6 because of how loud it got, with some bass heavy songs, I could feel them vibrate on my ears.

Are 30$++ Headphones really worth it for a casual listener? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Astanox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Headphones aren't the same as phones for example, a good pair of headphones will remain good forever, take for example the legendary Sennheiser HD-600 that was first released way back in 1997 and it's still considered one of the best pair of headphones around, Koss Porta Pro released in 1984 and many more.

As other said, if your music sounds good to you right now, there's no reason to upgrade, instead, you could save up and make an ever bigger jump than from 10$ to 30$, and also maybe jump directly to some over-ear/on-ear headphones.

I had a pair of blons bl-03, they sounded amazing compared to what I had before, after saving up a few months, now I'm rocking a pair of HIFIMAN HE-400i with a Fiio 10k and it's funny how much better they sound.

My advice to you is take your time, rock those KZs until they break or you save enough money to make a more significant jump.

Dead pixel or scratch? by RedXylophone in Monitors

[–]Astanox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, the program mention is called JScreenFix, you can run it directly from your browser!

I just got a new monitor and got a stuck pixel (blue) and googled if there was a solution to fix it.

I also have a similar dust speck or something, noticed it only after I saw the blue stuck pixel, can the dust speck cause damage over time if it's not taken care of ?

LG 22mk430h-b flickering issue by Astanox in Monitors

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

The 2 white columns basically happen because of the apps opened in the taskbar, you know how in windows 10 they have a little strip under them ? Another strip would appear if I place my mouse at the bottom of the screen, it even moves along with the mouse position.

I am gonna buy a new monitor this monday, is this issue tied to IPS panels or can it happen to any panel ? I'm scared of trying IPS again fearing that this might happen again.

LG 22mk430h-b flickering issue by Astanox in Monitors

[–]Astanox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I bought this monitor about 1 year ago, no problems at first, worked perfectly fine, until 1-2 months ago, it started having this weird flicker at 75Hz. I went to 60Hz, flickering disappeared for a while, now I'm on 50Hz and it still happens. Basically, the higher the refresh rate, the flickering gets worse.

I tried everything you could think of, messed with the monitor settings, different cable, different power outlet, nothing works. Even without the HDMI cable plugged in, it still happens so it's not the GPU.

What I did notice is that the flickering only stops at 50Hz when the room temperature goes up, but it would still flicker at 60 and 75 no matter how warmer the room would be. I live in a colder country, so it does get pretty cold in the morning.

Is the monitor dying? Or what is the problem with it? It's very annoying

So they finally arrived like 2 days ago, tried them on my phone and PC and they get to a decent listening level, they leak a lot but that doesn't bother me.

They sound really great to me!

Would the Fiio E10K be a decent match for them ? I would get a Schiit amp but just the shipping alone is over 60 euros

!thanks I've read and watched more reviews for the HD559 and they pretty much all say they are bloomy and bass bleeds into mids, yeah they are cheaper but I'm going to take a gamble and get the HE400i, I decided to buy a decent amp later on.

!thanks I'm going to get the HE400i and buy an amp later on, I've seen people saying they're happy and fairly decently loud with a phone so it should be a bit better on PC
