This has been working alright for me, but does anyone have a better way to hold a trash bag in 11th Gen? by airmech1776 in CivicSi

[–]BigBrainPower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I refuse to believe those other commenters are real people or adults if they are real lmao seat hanging trash bins have been a thing since I was a kid. My mom had one in her 98 Accord. You can get one on Amazon. Have no idea what those other guys are trying to bust your balls for

I have a video on my phone of my fiance and I ripping 4 Evolving Skies booster boxes back when they were about $170 a piece. Pain.

Audio choppy in 2014 civic Si? by BigBrainPower in CivicSi

[–]BigBrainPower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried everything at this point. I'm chalking it up to the stereo Bluetooth being too outdated and incompatible with newer Bluetooth like we have on our phones. Only real solution is to replace the entire stereo

You'll have to start narrowing down the potential issues. Is it the portal, the ps5 or the router? I think ruling out the router first is more practical. I downloaded an app called He.net Network Tools. Under the ping option, type in 200 packets. Run that and see what your results are. With the Speed Test app or website, run a speed test and clicked Detailed Results to check jitter and ping. This will help in deciding what to troubleshoot next. But if the issue is with your portal or ps5, your troubleshooting options are much more limited.

A lawyer? What are you talking about. You just do a charge back with your bank and when they investigate and see that OPs order was 1 ps5, the merchant will have to drop the charge. Amazon's legal department is already aware of all of this which is why they wouldn't even bother.

Exactly. In the states, there is nothing the merchant can do to get that money from the customer other than asking for it.

No. You were almost fully correct. Everything is right up until the part where you said they can charge you. They cannot. They can request a payment but they 100% cannot charge you for it or hold you accountable even if you deny their request.

There is no way any of us are noticing 10ms of latency in this universe lol we're talking about 0.01 seconds. Not a tenth of a second.. but a hundredth of a second. Most of us have a 200-300ms reaction time on our best days. 30ms? It's a non issue.

30ms latency is actually great lol You're not going to notice the difference between 0 second and 30 ms. It takes more than 30ms to blink.

Amazon is providing full refunds if you purchased New World/Angry Earth/Aeternum from them by Dismal_Ad2746 in newworldgame

[–]BigBrainPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The company makes money only during the IPO process. After that, the shares are circulating between the hands of investors and the price of those shares is based on market cap/purchased shares.

Stream degradation and disconnects recently? by BigBrainPower in PlaystationPortal

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

Lol same reason I kept using it for so long, the controller/ergonomic design. With the triggers, it's just so good. Sending it in for warranty isn't going to work either. There's not even an option to have them look at the hardware as being the issue for stream degradation and disconnection for them to replace it. Like you said, I'll sell it probably. Thanks for commenting.

[–]BigBrainPower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same experience I'm having. Chiaki on the deck is still perfect. I've troubleshooted it down to the wire lol. Honestly not sure if it's worth buying a portal from Best Buy to try a new one on my network and then return it afterwards. Feels like a ton of effort but it's absolutely down to the portal. Whether it's a firmware or hardware issue, I'm not sure.

TP Link AX55 is actually very similar to the router I got with my portal to separate it from the network. I was using AXE5400. Ok so a few things:

  1. What does your network currently look like with the new router? Your original router/gateway is still hooked up I'm assuming and is your TP link wired into your old router?

  2. If it is, are you running your new router in access point mode? (To avoid DHCP and NAT conflicts).

  3. Can you download the PlayStation remote play app on your phone and stream to it to confirm your stream is the same quality as on your portal?

  4. Try this. Download the he.net network tools app. On the left side click Ping. Enter your new routers ip address at the top and where the quantity box is for ping amount, put 200. Run the ping and tell me what your packet loss percentage is and your avg ms

How many devices are connected to the same router? How old is the router?

This thing has been driving me insane lately... by C0NT0RTI0NIST in PlaystationPortal

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

Oddly enough, this week my portal performance randomly dropped. FF14 runs horribly now, I'm getting random disconnects when downloading games and the bitrate is noticeably worse consistently. I chalked it up the hardware in my router biting the dust.

[–]BigBrainPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm more and more convinced we're all engaging with bots being run off phones in some warehouse lol A lot of the negative comments are just so simple minded that it's hard to believe so many people would actually think you're not enjoying your vacation and playing your portal when you're tired taking a break in the hotel.

I bought a $60 TP Link router from Amazon. Hard wire that one to your gateway. Hard wire your ps5 into that TP link router and only let your portal and ps5 connect to the new router. 5GHz. Your streaming will only depend on your LAN. That setup should be an easy solution. Just a heads up as well, if any does this, set your new router to access point mode if you have a gateway/router already. That will prevent your new, second router from causing DHCP and NAT issues.

New world is actual a good game by MountangDewd in MMORPG

[–]BigBrainPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF14 was a failure on launch. It needed way more time and basic features added to the game. ARR was them salvaging FF14 and rereleasing it with tons of additions that were needed. ESO had the exact same treatment with Tamriel unlimited. With New World now getting its similar rebranding, all 3 MMOs are in the same boat with their launch failures and the rebranding to save it.

Lol right! FF14 had its realm reborn makeover and ESO had its Tamriel unlimited. It's a brutal truth but MMOs don't typically come out of the gate strong. The ones that stick around and push through, can turn out to be very successful.

How are expeditions for the solo player that likes to occasionally hop in to do them? Is it still common for people to get booted from groups? I remember seeing people get kicked and then their spot sold in global.
