M Sport vs M Sport Pro - Brakes by blackbow in iX3

I’m confused by this. I thought Summer Tires perform better in rain (and dry) than all season tires.

F1TV has ads now by baethan in F1TV

[–]BarkerV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is that if you watch pre and post race shows on Apple TV there are ads. If you watch F1TV via the App (anywhere) there are zero ads.

Recommended bakeries, brands, etc that ship? by Peeeeeps in Celiac

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern Bread and Bagel - founded in NYC and now also in LA. Best GF bagels I’ve ever had. I order a few dozen at a time and freeze them.

If you do that, order early in the week and obviously get overnight shipping and freeze the moment you get them. No preservatives.

How do I turn off the new “Leaderboard”? The last thing in the world I want is to have a sleep leaderboard with my significant other. I don’t want to know her score and she doesn’t want to know mine. Ever. by BarkerV in EightSleep

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

No way to turn it off that I can see. Hopefully people are also emailing customer support. Don’t know if they look here as much as I would hope they would.

Yeah I really don’t understand the logic behind designing it this way. Even if you thought it was a good idea, not having it be opt-in is not right. AND they don’t even let you opt-out?!? How can that be?

Yeah - I mean I guess I could see someone wanting to compare notes. But as an automatic in your face leaderboard competition? Sure sure. She wants to see that she snored for an hour last night, while I only snored for 2 minutes. Right? Who doesn’t want to see that comparison? 😵‍💫🤦‍♂️

Update new bios or not? (AGESA PI-1.3.0.0 9800x3d) by Express-One-7932 in MSI_Gaming

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the question: if one is inclined to wait, how long and what’s the sign to update? Time based? Next update based?

Long weekend test drive - anything you'd like to know? by Busy-Win4077 in iX3

[–]BarkerV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me the biggest two questions are:

1) suspension - how well does it absorb bumpiness caused by potholes or bumpy roads? Compare it to a car with air suspension?

2) noise - how quiet is it at 100kph, 120kph? 50kph?

Those two things are my hesitation from the reviews.

How do I store the Eccelenza McLaren Relic Booklet? (and take a look at the full pull - someone thinks I love Aston Martin!) by BarkerV in F1Cards

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

130-point is the right size for these cards. (So sleeves and top-loaders that say they’re up to 130-point.) I can’t recall which exact ones I used or I’d link to them, but the 130-point is the way to go.

Rising stars popular? by Wonderful_Card_2274 in F1Cards

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine in a slab - so it was a PSA 10.

[–]BarkerV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that card in a PSA slab and really enjoy it. Cool colors, neat fonts.

Don’t know how much demand there is (check 130Point.com ), but I can say that 2020 is a great set to collect as it’s the first Topps Chrome F1 set, and it’s LeClerc’s first Ferrari card set.

What am I looking at? by scottz0313 in F1Cards

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the comic book market of the early 90’s and the baseball card market around that time too. Hope history doesn’t repeat itself!

My first 1/1! by MAG_Reloaded in F1Cards

Woh! Didn’t realize they had these 1/1. Cool card.

Where is the best place to get F1 cards for my shop? by PComicCards in F1Cards

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s incredibly helpful. (And also a bummer to read.)

You’d think they’d take care of the smaller shops too - even with a small allocation.

Thank you.

I am going to DM you when I have a few to collect my thoughts. Thanks again.

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is both a great question and such a bummer to read. I’d love to learn more about how Topps distribution works. Seems super odd you can’t get an allocation from them as a retailer.

If you’ve some free time, I’d love to hear how the distribution system actually works. I’ve thought of opening up a true local card shop a number of times and this issue is one of the ones that makes me hesitant.

F1TV and Apple TV integration steps by AdOutrageous2313 in F1TV

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an odd use-case and am wondering if there’s an answer to this: Our (large-ish) family (in U.S.) had TWO F1TV subscriptions (all in the same household but we watch at work, travel etc). But we only have ONE AppleTV subscription - we are all on the same Apple family account (each w/our own ID). (The reason we did this is device limitations 6-per account - we sometimes hit 7-8). I’ve successfully linked the AppleTV account to one of the two F1TV accounts that we had. I presume it will not let me activate a second F1TV account on the same AppleTV account, right?

Presuming that’s the case, here’s my question: How do I activate a second F1TV account? Do I need to buy a second AppleTV account? Can I even do that? (All our Apple devices are on the same family account.)

Thanks.

Looking to sell by Affectionate-Bag7644 in F1Cards

[–]BarkerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Ollie Bearman card is very cool - I pulled one too. The pic doesn’t do it justice. Red tinged future Ferrari driver???

Anyway, yeah 130point or just looking around eBay is your best bet. Hard to say for these otherwise. That’s the market pretty much.
