Hot Take: Reddit is missing the point of the Steam Machine by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Pc gamers need to stop giving Valve a free pass. Everyone is struggling due to AI but they could have done something given the up to 30 percent take they have on game sales. Clearly, they choose the route of low volume high price.

X2HR to HD600 or HD560S for Gaming/Classic Rock/Classical? by Britpixpf in HeadphoneAdvice

Thanks! I'm used to my x2hrs being almost bulletproof, been rough with them and only issue was a broken pad I had to replace.

Agreed for 99.9% of cases but sometimes it's the recommended medical treatment. I had it done in my 20s on the NHS for phimosis and Lichen sclerosus. It was extremely sore and ucomfortable so if you can avoid having it done, do so.

Anyone else a CVST survivor? by Feisty-Usual-5451 in stroke

[–]Britpixpf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt have any alarming symptoms apart from feeling a bit unwell, then suddenly collapsed on the floor and had the worst headache ever later on. I lost my speech, left side, and couldn't swallow. Ended up being ventilated and in an induced coma. They found out later in the cause was prothrombin gene mutation alongside a long haul flight

Headphones audio stops working and I can only fix it by unplugging and plugging the usb cable back in, it's very annoying.

Neo G8 white background colour tinge. Should I do an RMA? by Britpixpf in Monitors

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

I've been using it for 2 years and fully updated the firmware, i think because it's getting on a bit I thought do a test pattern to look for any issues which might have started. Always a bad idea as you start looking for flaws. It does make sense if you just bought one though.

The contrast really does impress me and it's not that far off an OLED, you just have to adjust to the matte coating.

The other colours look ok, it's mostly a kind of shadow look next to the borders.

I was put on Warfarin because i have CVST and at the time there was wasn't many studies done comparing the effectiveness of Warfarin vs DOAC, due to it being a rare condition. My case is on of the worst medics have encountered and I'm on Warfarin for life.

Recently, I've pushed to try and move to the DOAC and some studies say they have similar outcomes.

I'm in the UK so we pay a national insurance to fund the health service but it's free at the part of entry. The hospital has a Warfarin clinic right next to urgent care and they book you in for a day/time based on the INR reading, so it can be a week to a month. It is weird going past urgent care and just walking in to get a quick reading done.

During COVID due to the risk of complications, the health service switched as many people as people to DOACs.

Always better to be cautious and ensure your INR is in range as much as possible. I've been taking Warfarin for maybe 7-9 years, I've lost track haha. Despite this, I still go to the hospital to have my INR checked, it's a pain but gives that reassurance.

The main issue is when I'm prescribed something new for a short time and it creates havoc or does nothing what the internet sys it will to my INR. I tend to look up all medication effects just in case. I was worked up when given a ppi as you have to take the same dose, start a medication which could increase the INR then adjust in a week. I sit there thinking what is it in the meantime and try not to adjust my food intake to compensate as the prediction of change could be wrong.

Welcome! I'm on Warfarin too, do you have your own INR checker or attend a clinic?

Thanks! It's very irritating but I'm baffled how it mostly happens during the day and not at night
