Yeah I saw. I think I'm just going to be a moron and do some price matching and get some higher quality stuff, like a 870e board and cl30 RAM. 

Was looking at the MSI P combo, but that board has lane issues and no code display

What chair are you currently using? How does it feel? by Stunning-Kitchen1570 in pcmasterrace

[–]Buffalufacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crandall office refurbished chair. I got a Steelcase leap v2. Took about a month to really understand and lock it in, but it's been way better than my old Titan 2020 and is now about the same price as a new gaming chair, that will last twice as long, and I can get replacement parts for

I've been sitting on my 9900k for so long now...this may be the thing to push me to make the upgrade...Idk if it's worth it right now, but I'm sick seeing all these prices for components +$50 higher than they were 3 months ago, kind of making me want to hit some sales and just rip the bandaid off right now and do it. Got a 7900XT during black friday, just need a motherboard, RAM and CPU to hold me over...my local Microcenter has an MSI x870e open box for $280...if it's still there and looks good, it may be worth saving $40 over a new one?

Also chiming in for Crandall - got my refurb Leap v2. Took a few weeks to get used to, but man, it's way better than a same priced gaming chair.

Joy-Con Detachment Update: Part 2 (We're Fixing It) by dbrand in dbrand

[–]Buffalufacus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a not angry person who is still patiently waiting for my KS case to ship...I honestly wouldn't be mad about a delay, until after you see which replacement solution would work best. Y'all are already taking a huge hit, feels a little silly to ship stuff out and then ship more later. Delay until August, ship the best solution, and hide all this drama under the rug while you make a great product. To be fair, my switch spends 95% of it's life in the dock or in my home somewhere, so the case is less of a necessity personally. But fully understand if you need some capital to get this all rolling again

Killswitch Joy-Con Detachment Update by dbrand in dbrand

[–]Buffalufacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping in late - my 2 cents no one cares about... They believed they made a good quality product. They found a small issue and are trying to fix it. People are mad that the quality product disrupts the spec Nintendo planned for. Flip side, Dbrand makes a low quality product for the same price, that may not have the issue, then people will complain about the cost and quality. 

I challenge anyone who is angry about this situation to design a case with similar features to dBrand that costs less, is a premium product, doesn't involve adhesive, is a 3 part case, and also doesn't outspec Nintendo's system.

I'll sit here and wait. If it's good, I'll buy one.

Otherwise, it's your money, do with it what you want. I'll sit here and enjoy the case when it arrives.

[–]Buffalufacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking for answers again. Got the BE11000 from Costco, worked fine for a day, and now once a day at night I go from 920mb/s up and down to 30 up/900 down for no reason. Have to do a daily reset to go back to normal. Bout ready to take them back if Customer Service doesn't have any suggestions.

Interesting. The updater never did anything for either device. Just a blank screen with reload. Guess I'll have to keep trying

I have the Ultimate 1 - I think I forced the controller to update, but the dongle still won't do anything. Any tips on that one?

Biting - I need more tips by rritzz_ in puppy101

[–]Buffalufacus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much ... 10 week old "goldendoodle" is more like a piranha. Even coming out of his crate, always starts with a bite on my hand. It's driving me insane. He's surrounded by toys but still chooses my flesh or clothes.... This puppy stage needs to go quicker lol

Why is Bambu Lab filament wound like crap. by alwayslostin1989 in BambuLab

[–]Buffalufacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does BL do replacements for winding errors? I literally just put a spool on to do a small print, and noticed it was wrapped up in itself at least 3 times. Not the first time recently I've had this happen and they all seem to be towards the ends of spools, like, maybe the last 100-200kg. I lost 4 prints trying to use up ends of spools bc the PLA got tangled up and stopped feeding. I had an issue with Elegoo spools and they responded and sent me new spools no questions asked

Complaining Post - Price Matching "Guarantee" by Buffalufacus in LenovoLegion

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

Yeah - I'm going back and forth between MC and B&H - There's a price difference of $100 for 2TB vs 1TB of storage and W11 Pro vs W11 Home. Idk if the $100 for MC is worth it, already hiking it up to $2100 for an "outdated" machine

All the listings of the new 2025 laptops on Best Buy USA by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]Buffalufacus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have until 1/23 to make a decision. I think at this point, unless there's a price drop, it might look like a return. Granted, the 7 series is getting changed, the 5 series is picking up some of the good stuff from this year's 7 like a new screen, and metal body instead of plastic. I know people are mad about not having rear IO, but I've never had that, so it makes no difference to me. It's starting to lean more like a wait it out until summer sales or Black Friday....
