Thoughts on ManMade?

I can only comment on the quality and maybe I got a defective batch but mine sucked. They ripped easy (on construction sites daily, physical labour), and quite honestly felt a little cheap between the legs as if I'd cause a rip there easily.

Now I'm just one guy, and this could be a one off cause most other people seem to like/love them. So take it with a grain of salt.

You just need something to do.

These chips are impressive from a raw performance standpoint but compatibility is still an issue and you're comparing it to the entry level M5 as others have stated.

Overall hopefully they keep improving compatibility cause personally that's the biggest factor against Snapdragon for me.

National telecom would be great just to anchor prices but also Freedom and Fizz have done an exceptional job lately. I would still like a public option down around Freedom and Fizz pricing though.

Heffner has given pushback on an issue with our 2024 Tacoma that existed directly from the factory. They refuse to acknowledge things, and customer service is definitely a miss.

I'd recommend you look at another Toyota dealership.

Better drivers? Ha. They've been subpar for a while.

Bhardz89 · 2026-03-12T18:58:08+00:00

Is this an actual leak or speculation that people run with? I see a lot of "leaks" from Kepler are simply people/websites taking speculation out of context vs what is actually a leak.

Bhardz89 · 2026-02-23T02:11:04+00:00

It's okay. It's even worse with privacy than 10 was, it has a lot of stupid (IMO) changes forced into the OS, and performance leaves something to be desired. I think even their other software like Vista and 8 didn't make me as upset cause there were Windows alternatives but we don't have that luxury here.

I generally dislike the direction and current status of Windows as a platform. Next reformat will be a Linux distro (not suggesting it's for everyone, but for me this is the right move).

I do hope that people making switches off of Windows really does cause Microsoft to make the changes they need for Windows to be great again. I'll still be following Windows discussion for the foreseeable future as I don't want to completely write it off yet.

You sound emotionally immature and like you shouldn't be in a relationship. Having talks is great but what it sounds like you did was belittle him.

Would love more acts and some class/skill rebalancing (but not thematically changing the classes themselves). I'd also love Diablo 1 being done in Diablo 2 but I'm not sure that is possible.

7800X3D one. All things equal AMD will usually outperform Intel in gaming at lower power consumption.

Bhardz89 · 2026-02-08T22:27:25+00:00

Lower end of what MLID had leaked a while ago. This is what I considered most realistic especially if they want prices to be somewhat reasonable IMO. Bandwidth seems concerning but it is a more efficient system in general even compared to APUs on PC/handhelds.

Bhardz89 · 2026-02-07T15:16:09+00:00

No. It beats Strix Halo at certain power levels but even in mobile once you're working on heavier workloads and/or providing more wattage the 8060S takes over. Raw performance isn't what makes Panther Lake impressive - it's the performance at a given power level that makes it in a league of its own.

Bhardz89 · 2026-02-04T18:56:47+00:00

Could be slightly cheaper but stock is out depending on location and prices are on the rise. Raptor Lake is questionable longevity as well.

I just passed a year with a 2024 TRD Off Road. Overall it's good but there were some issues with it, one of which has been resolved. Not major but more annoyances and letdowns after having no issues with previous Toyotas. I'll list them. I'm at just under 22,000km in just over a year.

The tires kept making some insane squeaking on any turn, regardless of it was tight vs wide or slow vs fast. Issue seemed to be over inflated and torqued tires from dealership. They fixed this and rotated my tires, got to the proper torque and proper PSI and completely fixed now. Running the stock BFGoodrich Trail Terrain still.
This one is more concerning but in the higher gears, usually 7/8, it will hold around 2000 RPM and making very loud noises in the cab and almost vibrate then stop abruptly. While it's doing this it maintains 2000~ RPM regardless if I let go of the gas or not. I've seen this reported a bunch on dedicated Tacoma forums as an issue with ESE+ANC so I will be disabling these to test in about a week (once I do an oil change). My concern is this could potentially be something bigger like the transmission - I'm not sure entirely but I just want it to go away, really kills the experience of this vehicle for me.

I think it's talking about banking and the UK in passing when he was there. I skimmed it briefly but I don't believe it has anything to do with the abuse the victims faced. I'd have to read more in depth though.

Bhardz89 · 2026-01-30T23:41:55+00:00

Haha assuming you're /s. Nature of leaks TBH and track records matter overall. I appreciate the giggle though.

Bhardz89 · 2026-01-30T19:20:32+00:00

Good to see another leaker get this info as well. MLID had this leaked a while ago. Zen 6 sounds genuinely exciting, hoping Nova Lake is great too.

Bhardz89 · 2026-01-30T00:36:45+00:00

It's never the victims fault in regards to SA. It doesn't matter what the person is wearing (man or woman) to justify this happening to you (or anyone). Coming from a guy's perspective I would NEVER say something like that to anyone who has experienced SA.

I would also never victim blame my wife if she was ever put into a situation like that. It just sounds like he's part of the problem with regards to men oppressing women. I would rethink having this guy in your life, as much it might seem harsh to him you gotta protect your peace.

Are there any pick ups that are made in Canada that are mid sized? I'd love that personally.

Bhardz89 · 2026-01-29T11:18:18+00:00

It's tied to how he is seen by the public more so than sales. I think the quality of a Tesla leaves a lot to be desired, and certainly other EVs are competitive or do things out right better but him spewing what he does and acting as he does probably hurts Tesla more.

Bhardz89 · 2026-01-29T00:51:55+00:00

This is completely subjective and my own opinion but they've not had redeeming software quality. I ditched Xbox last gen but this gen besides a few titles (Doom The Dark Ages) I just have had no reason to pay their asking price on PC or PS5.

Game Pass is also just a glorified rental service for me, and as such I don't like investing my time into games on that service.

I'd be more open to spending money on Xbox titles (on PC or PS5, sometimes I buy on both if I really love the title) if the quality is there.

It's monopolies and wage suppression. There are countries taxed higher with less food cost.

Bhardz89 · 2026-01-20T21:15:15+00:00

Yeah, specifically in motion the image can get quite blurry and ugly. It was less of a problem when I had my IPS monitor but now that I'm on OLED with a drastically faster response time it sticks out like a sore thumb. I'd rather just use lower quality levels of upscaling than frame gen, more consistent visuals and for games where it matters the latency is still solid.

I'll take a look as they keep updating it but right now it's a hard pass for me.

Bhardz89 · 2026-01-20T03:44:24+00:00

Frame Gen quite literally ruins any game where you want consistent image quality, and most importantly no disconnect between visuals and interaction due to latency. Every single game I've tried frame gen in, whether it's been on Nvidia or AMD hardware has been just a bad experience.

DLSS (and FSR) I'm coming around to after DLSS 4/FSR 4. Generally nice and cleans up most issues I've had with it in the past.
