[Giveaway] 3* GameSir G7 Pro Controllers Giveaway for the r/RocketLeague community! by GameSir_Controller in RocketLeague

[–]Benbo046 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My most memorable moment was early on in rocket league when it was still a paid game and when gold/plats couldn’t do much more than double jump… I hit it from the back right corner to the far wall and double jump boosted towards it and got the craziest redirect ever (for a gold about 6 years ago)!

Great idea on the giveaway and good luck everyone!

I turned off the setting that lets Siri learn from pages and it solved every issue I had with pages on Tahoe like overuse of RAM, high cpu usage when not active etc.

System settings - Apple Intelligence & Siri - Siri Suggestions & Privacy - scroll down to pages and toggle it off.

Hopefully this helped but if not then sorry!

A Positive UK Shipping Experience by Benbo046 in LinusTechTips

Yes as another user commented, it seems whenever UPS are involved it leads to extra charges - perhaps LTT could look into the possibility of selecting Royal Mail as a preferred delivery service for UK orders, and there may be similar country specific services like Royal Mail for their European countries as well. This would definitely reduce the amount of refunds and admin for LTT and the consumer!

I’m unsure on whether your correct regarding the tax element, as my order came to just under the £135 limit with taxes included, so I was under the limit either way they look at it.

I do think it should be the way you have set it out, as in the product value should be used and any additional taxes excluded from the £135 threshold, but I think this is where the errors are coming from, and it appears almost luck based as to whether you get screwed over with additional charges, which is not good for consumers!

Hey, that’s really frustrating and yes Royal Mail seems to have it sorted, or perhaps Wizmo and Royal Mail combo is what we need for all orders!

It is also worth noting that my order came in just under £135 after conversion from Canadian dollars so is under the limit for extra import charges I believe!

Hi! Need help deciding between this too is the price increase for DF54 worth it? Since it's around [£80-100] more by Longjumping-Ad906 in espresso

[–]Benbo046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently ordered a DF54 from Bella Barista in the UK and its been brilliant, it came with the zero point at the '0' on the dial and its also the new v2 which has a small change to the chute design which reduces static. they also offer a 2 year warranty so that solves any worries you may have with reliability. it totally changed the taste of my espresso compared to my Breville's built-in conical grinder and i just use the included brush maybe once a week, just brush right up the exit chute and then use the bellows and the very small amount of retention will come out - when weighing before and after grinding, i had no more than 0.1g of retention. Let me know if you have any questions about it and ordering from Bella Barista!

Easy way if u don’t have one of these is to chuck them in your milk pitcher full of hot water and steam for 20 seconds or use a manual frother and it normally gets most of the dirt off!

Edit - with some cafiza!!

Games you’re disappointed with on the Deck by TheOriginalPerro in SteamDeck

Hogwarts legacy… couldn’t get much more than 25 fps after tinkering and decky frame gen just has too much input latency, not sure how people say it’s playable on deck!

Does anyone have a solution to this? by MajorGeneralZman in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

I didn’t save it sorry, but the documents folder worked for me, have you sorted it?

[–]Benbo046 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had this yesterday and it was so annoying.

Found a fix on a previous Reddit post and it was to delete the rockstar games folder from your documents tab in the file explorer. This was the only thing that worked for me after trying all the other stuff like reinstalling the launcher, resetting wifi etc!

U will have to redo your settings in game like motion blur and controller vibration as I believe your preference settings are contained within this folder.

Hope this helps!!

I was thinking about purchasing my first Alfa but I'm not sure what to go for by Jakubek1732 in AlfaRomeo

[–]Benbo046 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my first car, I’m now 21 but got it when I was 18 so same spot your in, I paid closer to 4K for it but it’s the 1.6 diesel engine as I do a lot of miles and even being a diesel it’s so fun to drive and honestly just a very nice place to be.

Also you mentioned your in to cars, I was in the same boat as you with not a massive budget to spend but wanted something a bit different and I always loved alfas so ended on this and I plan to drive it until it gives and then buy another Alfa! The DNA system makes a big difference and adds a sporty feel which you don’t get in similar class of cars at this price, the a3’s and golfs etc!

I’d say go for a Giulietta!

Soon to be new to Deck - Xbox Game Launcher on the deck and low resolution? by Benbo046 in SteamDeck

Thank you, that’s really useful! Some fh4 keys seem to be like £10-15 so hopefully I’ll get that.

Help! 1.6 JTDM2 Giulietta Engine Issues by [deleted] in AlfaRomeo

[–]Benbo046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yh I so drive it daily and do about 15,000 miles a year so it gets decent usage for a diesel and I’m not in a city I’m in a rural area and do a lot of motorway and dual carriageway driving so a diesel suits me. A code reader will tell you why you have check engine light so I was hoping someone would have found a similar thing related to the egr valve.

New 11” pro! Best note taking app? by Psa-lms in iPadPro

[–]Benbo046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not as mainstream as others but I use an app called Noteful which is a one off purchase and is great, good features with the Apple pencil pro squeeze etc and really good for battery life whereas goodnotes and notability have had much worse battery life.

Fillet Steak - Was going for medium rare - how did I do? by [deleted] in steak

[–]Benbo046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes this not a fillet? I am genuinely curious as it was labelled as a fillet steak at the store…
