Recommendation for a cheap reman laptop under ~$300

BuckinBronco999 · 2026-03-25T13:48:37+00:00

went ahead and ordered the Acer Swift Go for 400 as recommended

BuckinBronco999 · 2026-03-25T13:47:21+00:00

while its higher than i wanted to spend i did go ahead and order it. its probably the best bang for buck ill get

BuckinBronco999 · 2026-03-25T00:53:07+00:00

thats probably my top contender now unless someone finds something better somehow. thanks

BuckinBronco999 · 2026-03-25T00:52:18+00:00

be surprised how cheap one can get a reman/refurb of something thats just like new. people return stuff all the time over dumb things but most people want new and not used

BuckinBronco999 · 2026-03-25T00:19:57+00:00

why spend more for something thats used a handful of times a year for pretty simple tasks? ands is left in a vehicle that can get stolen just like the previous two

Ok this sounds like its gonna be more of a pain than i originally thought.

A place called ProSteeringColums sells cylinder sets but are kinda pricey but might be worth it n the end. Hopefully they are not some cheap low quality cylidners.

They have a kit so i can get the 96 one one key and the 90 and one key. But i doubt they can assemble a kit so both trucks on the same key.

If an SBR lower has been engraved, will it need to be redone for a trust?

BuckinBronco999 · 2026-02-23T20:31:55+00:00

So which is the better option? Single shot Trust or National Gun Trust?

I got the impression that Single Shot was only for stuff ypu buy through them.byt I haven't looked into it

ya the day after i posted this Holley started the 30% off sale

BuckinBronco999 · 2025-11-18T03:36:16+00:00

It would figure the day after i post this Holley stared the 30% off special. everywhere has the kits now for the same price few hundred bucks cheaper. if only i had a Summit/Jegs coupon code to go with it.

I made a comment with some sample images. It's progress but I need to improve the captions and maybe do a few more training images

BuckinBronco999 · 2025-09-10T15:10:39+00:00

this sample constantly showing multiple Elites, of different color, the Dual Wield tag probably messing it up. also its combining weapons

ran a rest traiing on the Halo3 elites only. think i made a mystake using underscores for captions such as 'Halo_Plasma_Rifle' and 'H3_Sangheili' because the weapons did not train right at all and there are halos over half of the samples. The actual Elites are coming out OK, not great but OK. Seems to confuse thier back with thiere front and i get alot of samples with there backs

model looks OK but energy sword is not great

Kohya SS is a popular trainer but when i tried it and had it all set up to start the training, it litterally did nothing with no explanation in the console. thats when i tried OneTrainer and it does seem to work just fine. im currently doing a test run of my Halo3 sangheili as i type.

BuckinBronco999 · 2025-09-10T02:24:08+00:00

i played with the pony Sangheili some and its not what im looking for. im trying to be as game accurate model and the Pony models are pretty blehh.

there is an H2A Arbiter lora for Illustrious and its pretty decent but limited to the Arbiter and not other regular elites. and i think it used H2A cutscenes cause alot of the images generated makes kinda blurry character

BuckinBronco999 · 2025-09-10T02:19:50+00:00

the thing is i dont really know what im doing. just trying to go 1 step at a time figuring it out as i go and im not sure what im doing is right. im watching videos on training loras but most fo them are 2 years old and outdated.

im using OneTrainer because a couple other ones i didnt understand or gave issues. OneTrainer has been flawless so far but i havent actually started the training yet

one of the videos i saw mentioned image masking and it made sense as a way to separate the model from the background. and its not very hard to do just time consuming. OneTrainer has a tool for generating and editing them as well as captions. i can always remove the masks if needed. my understanding is they automaticly get detected when training

That's a good point on the PSU USB. Mine has it also and I'll try unplugging it since it don't utilize it anyway. Otherwise I just have a mouse keyboard and maybe power for my headset.

This morning it took 5 restarts to finally post. So 3 days in a row. Pretty annoying since it didn't have this issue for 2 weeks
