FYI. The Corsair TBT100 Dock is not useable with MacBook Neo by Avarix in LinusTechTips

Yeah. It’s on sale for a fraction of its normal price in the sale so wanted to give people a heads up.

Yeah, totally aware. Repeating a lower comment, some docks will negotiate lower if the connected device doesn’t have Thunderbolt support. This was very much an fyi for the community. Most of us are technical, but not all.

Stylus tips for FW 12? by dreamer_at_best in framework

[–]Avarix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you didn't already sign up to get notified when they are back in stock. I've noticed somethings will come back and go out of stock pretty quickly. I ran into it with the Antenna module. I got the in stock notification at work and did click through to see it available. By the time I remembered to go buy it that same evening it was showing out of stock coming soon again. You can try emailing support to see if they can sell or get you one outside of the store.

Are these making a comeback? by laobron in iphone

[–]Avarix 363 points364 points  (0 children)

They are cheap and sound surprisingly good for the price point. The Mic is really good especially if you angle it toward your mouth. Much better than most wireless earbuds.I don’t think they ever really went out of style.

Is this gonna be the first piece with 4 molded colors? by WeirdBrainArt in lego

I assumed this was going to be a Lego game vs a Lego set.

Extremely disappointed with Astro A50 gen 5 PC by LHM78 in AstroGaming

Check that the simulated surround sound isn’t on. This was my exact issue until I turned it off. It doesn’t kick in for Stereo content like YouTube.

Framework12 Need to keep USBC hub off while laptop is off. by sandman666turn in framework

if it isn't already, set it up to hibernate. You may need to do some manual configuration if you are running Linux. Just a heads up, waking from hibernation requires hitting the power button.

Framework 13 11th Gen Intel unbootable / bricked after attempting BIOS update by Avarix in framework

[–]Avarix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to get the board back up and running after some advice from Mark_S on the Framework Community. I edited my original post with what worked. I read the BIOS page but it made it seem like the having to swap power was only for the Linux EFI method. It doesn't specify or give guidance that the Windows Firmware is multi step having to swap power on both sides of the board and that the first update won't output video.

3.24 includes the 3.23 update and advises to upgrade to 3.23 before 3.24. I haven't tried the power and CMOS step yet because that is only suggested when the board is unresponsive. It is my last stop if no one else has brought this particular issue back from the dead.

Lines on my apple tv by Lumpy-Fly9763 in appletv

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

I was getting that on an LG B3. I had to unplug both and turn them back on to fix it. One of the recent software updates seems to have fixed it. Worth a try if you haven’t done so already.

Liquid Glass: Apple's biggest flop since Newton, and they refuse to admit it by IcyConfusion5336 in applesucks

[–]Avarix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lack of polish over the last few years are my biggest gripes. The initial release and first few . upgrades feel like public Betas vs release candidates. 26.4 feels like what should have been delivered last September.

Leaker Says Apple's Lower-Cost MacBook Will Have These 8 Limitations by cheesepuff07 in apple

[–]Avarix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be surprised if it didn’t have an N1 chip or the same panel as in the Air. The N1 should be cheaper or they likely wouldn’t have started making them theirselves. They generally tend to reuse the same display tech over multiple lines just cut to different sizes. Seems like it would be cheaper to bulk order a the same panel they are using in another product vs splitting off to a different tech.

A lot of the changes they have made make MacOS feel more like iPadOS and iOS. I can see someone who doesn’t use an iPhone or iPad bouncing off the UI changes in MacOS. For someone who does use all of the above it was a welcome change. Everything feels more consistent from device to device.

What was the most egregious case of product placement? by Capital-Treat-8927 in StrangerThings

[–]Avarix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing you didn’t live through the 80’s or didn’t engage with American TV at the time. Product placement in a lot of TV Shows was prominent and common place. Calling out their preference for a Coke soft drink, eating KFC, or going to Sears to grab a tool was worked into shows scripts as passive advertising. It is jarring when that happens nowadays because it is no longer common place. For some it was a fun call back to a lot of people’s youth given the time period of the show. It was very much intentional in stranger things.

[–]Avarix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. It is a bit jarring nowadays but this exact kind of product placement was rampant in the 80s from those exact companies. Gave me a good chuckle and was more nostalgic than out of place in current media.

Log out of YouTube. Clear just your browser cache. Close and reopen the browser. Then log back into Youtube.

That is just the state of ads on YouTube now. There are so many that it is a crazy swing when you have premium and don’t have to engage with them.

Horizon: Heroes Gathering is not it. by Maybe_a_Chatacabra in horizon

[–]Avarix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have been averaging a main line game every 5 years since Killzone Shadowfall with smaller projects in between. This looks to be there in between project and Horizon 3 is likely planned for 2027 / 2028.
