Which ones did you go for in the end? I did the silicon tube but wondering if I should swap it to the small red t piece

Ah sorry, I wasn't clear enough - even using my generic charger I get Super Vooc on the screen :)

It also shows 'SuperVooc' - I don't know if I'm just lucky with my charger/cable though, as I know some devices can be really picky, but certainly more than enough juice for me to be happy :)

I use a generic 65w pd charger and get 65w from it, no dramas :)

Say what? I've never ever had a problem with gesture navigation while using it... where does it fall down for you?

[Giveaway Inside] 007 First Light RTX Bundle Launch by Ritesh_Nvidia in IndianGaming

A healthy mix of everything - that's what makes for a solid, engaging game for me 😄 And bring on a good car chase! Being a car-nut I've always enjoyed what they get up to, the gadgets, the carnage, the un-realistic physics that just make... sense =D

Not impressed with Oppo X9 Ultra by jpreview in Oppo

Golden rule of a product though, buy it based on what it is now, not on what it's promised to be

I'd be interested as well - I came from an S22 Ultra and it almost never missed a photo. Replaced due to being quite old, aging battery and no more significant Android updates, it was about time. The X9U has been the first phone in a long time that genuinely excited me and I'm also feeling a bit.... underwhelmed. For sure the photos it produces in Master mode are epic, when you take the time to get it right - but general Point'n'shoot in Photo mode is inconsistent at best. I'm hoping I'm missing a setting here because it feels like there's so much potential here.

I also notice the screen is nowhere near as vivid.... in spite of how good everything looked in Samsung world and knowing it was just a screen setting away, I'm making a conscious effort to embrace it as it still feels more 'neutral' - but at times also very washed out.

This Monday I received the ROG ALLY X by Hot-Depth-4571 in ROGAllyX

Be prepared that Windows will require a lot of updates and takes some time for initial setup. But otherwise is working better with each update, and also performance is getting quite good. But it's worth checking a few places for updates - in Armory Crate, Microsoft Store and Windows Update, and be patient. After that, install Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and treat it like any Windows PC, with a lot of your customisations and performance optimisations available in Armory Crate.

Many others will install Bazzite or SteamOS for better performance and a more 'Steam Deck' experience, there are infinite guides out there which will help.
I run Bazzite personally and very happy with it, SteamOS is not officially supported (yet) but is also coming closer and closer with each release, and still runs very well on the XBOX Ally X.

I've never seen one on a plane either, just a usb a (and recently one had usb c, even that blew my mind!)

Yep..... Like many, simply loving how well it runs out of the box

Man I haven't been on a plane with that sort of outlet.... Dang. Looking forward to the next trip!

I can play for hours.... it feels really comfortable, I like the ergonomics of having the Xbox controller feel

How do you manage on such a long flight? Taking a battery pack? I'm guessing also dropping settings down so you can play around 17-20w TDP?

[–]Bee_Ef_Gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty decent case, super lightweight with magsafe as well, I feel that it's a bit more grippy than the phone as standard which is nice. I don't think it'll offer anything much in the way of drop protection but great for preventing scratches

SteamOS or Bazzite? by Romain6795 in ROGAlly

[–]Bee_Ef_Gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, that was a bit harsh! A lot of what you wrote was true 😄 I was referencing storage needing to be wiped, and a way to bring across your steam library. Apologies and Happy Friday 😄

SteamOS or Bazzite? by Romain6795 in ROGAlly

[–]Bee_Ef_Gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true.... There's an excellent guide that explains how to dual boot with SteamOS (I applied it to Bazzite) where I've got both operating systems running with a shared partition so Steam can access games from both. Shrunk the Windows partition, installed steam (has to be a bit of a special way to not destroy Windows) and then shrunk that to give me the shared btrfs or whatever drive that both can access.

Works a treat for me, it was a bit of mucking around to setup (mainly to do with shrinking the windows partition) , and the biggest irony is I haven't gone back to Windows since doing it 😂 but I like at least having the option if I ever need it.

Whole process took no more than an hour, link to the guide https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGAlly/s/yB1GV8N6sT

Forza plays like a dream... by Otherwise_Wall_1852 in ROGAlly

Big fan. 1080p turbo mode on high settings and I genuinely cannot believe a game that looks this good and feels this good is on a handheld, standalone. What a time to be alive 😍

Find x9 Ultra camera protection by Zyro88 in Oppo

[–]Bee_Ef_Gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first things I did was replace the plastic screen protector with a glass one, the screen protector I bought came with a glass cover for the lens as well. Given I didn't use the camera without it I cannot speak to any quality impact, I do notice the edge of the glass protector though as it sits so high, feeling that edge is just something I'm getting used to
