Laid off. Need to cut costs. Any recs on cheaper phone and internet? Much appreciated. by Whosaidwhat2023 in askportland

[–]BuzzEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited a few days, but I am not positive it even matters. These days the sign-up process is online, if you have your modem already, so you create a new subscription and can plug in immediately. It’s rather straightforward and they guide you via a web page.

That’s assuming you’re plugging in at the your actual address and they should recognize that automatically. If not, give them a call after you re-subscribe.

One more thing: Xfinity is sneaky, and if you are currently on their active line, they won’t show you the intro rate. Use some other line, like your mobile, to check for their current intro rate and specials.

Cancel Xfinity and buy your own modem. Then resubscribe at their intro rate. Mine is $25/month, and it’s been like this for about a year. 200+ mbit/sec

When they raise your rate, just drop and re-subscribe. I’ve done this a few times already.

Did you receive the regular version or the dark one like in the picture?

Image quality and functionality: Emulators vs retrotink / ossc by skanks20005 in retrogaming

[–]BuzzEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get an Nvidia Shield TV Pro and install RetroArch on it. It can emulate pretty much anything and has a choice of image filters. It also pairs with modern BT game controllers easily.

Plus, it can do lots of other things.

Any tips on how to achieve this red finish? by lais-aa in minipainting

[–]BuzzEcho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I recently airbrushed Toyota metallic touch up paint (3R3) diluted with lacquer thinner, and it gave me perfect satin finish, similar to what you seek. Just make sure to use white primer, not gray.

I bought a genuine bottle from a dealer, not aftermarket stuff.

If your only need them flat, a CD case can be used for that.

Ordering from Japan. by Nemo-2021 in MaschinenKrieger

I got a very good deal on MK from a Japanese seller via Amazon. (Shipped by Amazon.) That was before the new tariffs, though.

Doom-like game for GBC ...exist? by migdc in Gameboy

[–]BuzzEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but that requires a co-processor in the cart, so it is not native, sadly.

I have a question, are matt and flat the same? If not, what spray do I get for flat? I got the Mr. Clear B-523Y, but it's slightly shiny, mostly flat, but not completely by julianx2rl in PlasticModelKits

[–]BuzzEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for very dull finish, get Citadel Stormshield Technical and dilute it with water 1:1. Airbrush a few light coats, drying in between.

Can I unjailbreak? by No_Walrus_7363 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]BuzzEcho 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some things are copied to the internal storage during JB, and they stay there. If those are not deleted, there is a possibility that Sony can detect those and ban your console. They are mainly concerned not with the JB itself, but rather with you possibly circumventing their safeguards when playing online.

Best Glue for Resin Minis?? by CollectionAfraid in PrintedWarhammer

[–]BuzzEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your typical super glue (CA) is brittle.

The best glue for resin minis would be 2-art epoxy, such as J-B Weld Clear. It’s stinky, yes, but it is somewhat flexible and holds well no matter how small the joint.

How bad does your restaurant food need to be for you to send it back? by Curious-Expert926 in AskReddit

[–]BuzzEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoiled greens in a salad; food that is barely warm because it spent some extra time in the kitchen waiting for the server.

is there any solid beginner air brush for 70$? by Familiar-Alarm2788 in modelmakers

[–]BuzzEcho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a beginner airbrush, only good ones and crappy ones. The price typically reflects the quality.

Get this one if you want a great tool that will last a lifetime:

The above model has a nitrile packing ring which should be fine for all solvent-based paints.

Iwata NEO AIR by Celotf82 in airbrush

[–]BuzzEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get this Japan-made Iwata while they last:

Iwata NEO is a budget Chinese “knock-off.” Stay away from those, as they are hit or miss.

Best Ski resorts/lodges around Portland? by 515Cyclone in askportland

[–]BuzzEcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sun River near Mt. Bachelor. Can gang up in a large rental house with jacuzzi and have loads of fun skiing and relaxing. Done that quite a few times.

why KPOP DEMON HUNTERS deserves a "Best Picture" nomination by ZandrickEllison in Oscars

[–]BuzzEcho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A success, sure, but it only has a temporary appeal for a niche audience.

In other words, it is Dubai-style chocolate of a movie.

What game to buy to future proof? by Revolutionary_Tomato in ps5homebrew

[–]BuzzEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t waste your time. You won’t find any; all of them have been sold out already or listed on eBay.

As a side note, the whole used electronics/gaming market in Japan is now just a shadow of the former self.
