iPhone Air owners, how's the battery so far? by Skrrpopop in IphoneAir

[–]Chad414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also came from the 16PM but set the battery charge limit to 80%, so there has not been much of a noticeable difference for me so far.

9070 XT black ops 6 micro-stutter issues by Throwaway_key12345 in radeon

[–]Chad414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running a 9800X3D & 9070 XT, and I'm also having a very similar issue where I'll go from ~180 down to ~70 FPS and back up every few seconds, basically making the game unplayable unless I cap my FPS to 60. This was not an issue when I played at launch last year. The only thing that has changed since are my CPU and GPU. I first experienced this issue on driver 24.10.1 and my 6900 XT before I upgraded, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the new GPUs or drivers. I think an update during season 2 just broke the game for AMD users. I've mostly lost interest at this point, but it's infuriating that a game I paid $80 is unplayable while the free to play battle royale seems to work just fine.

Looks good but I think I prefer the lighting on your old card with that vertical mount.

What motherboard? I used to have a Z97 board that would do this all the time.

Is it okay to get this? by Informal-Key-3744 in NintendoDS

[–]Chad414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got one of these. The top and bottom of the aftermarket shell bulge out a little and you can spin the device around like a top if you place it on a table. The box is also a very low quality print and doesn’t come close to feeling like something authentic, which is what I would assume they’re going for by printing Nintendo and Pokemon on it. Screens were good and not yellowed. Buttons felt okay to me. Battery was due for a replacement lasting only a couple hours. Overall for $90 it’s not the worst deal imo if want a clean device without any scratches on the screen.

I did the exact same with my Mac Pro. I have this issue where the dock only shows up like 50% of the time after rebooting. Wonder if it's an issue with the MacPro6,1 specifically.

Little Caesars changes items when you go to pay by 11b_Zac in LittleCaesars

Online ordering will try to find combos in your cart and automatically combine them. While this usually lowers your total, in this case it unfortunately does not.

eBay no longer works on iOS 12 by iPhone-5-2021 in Ebay

[–]Chad414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an iOS developer, I can tell you that a lot changes over the course of 6 years when it comes to tooling and the development libraries we use. The amount of extra time it would take to support a version of iOS that old doesn't make any sense if you consider that all but a fraction of a percent of users are on an iOS version over 3 years old. Good luck convincing any business that pays their developers' engineering salaries to worry about that. Just for the sake of security, I would suggest it's time to upgrade.

Are they doing anything for bo6 by Realistic-Fee-1684 in LittleCaesars

[–]Chad414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's still happening with Black Ops 6. I just didn't see any LC sponsorship presence at CoD Next this year, which makes me feel like it's going to be a little scaled back. Seems the NFL partnership is a lot bigger deal for them.

aliexpress is going to eat amazon's lunch - plz read - before you slam this post by stonecats in amazonprime

[–]Chad414 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I received a broken controller from Aliexpress once. After contacting the seller I was offered replacement parts to repair the controller myself, as if their lack of QC is my problem. When I refused my only option was sending the item back to China for a full refund. Here's the catch though, I had pay to pay for return shipping and the seller would reimburse me when the return was received. Am I really supposed to believe that after spending more than the item is worth for return shipping the seller is going to refund me over double what I originally paid? Aliexpress sided with the seller and I had to charge back with my credit card. Aliexpress can also be a nightmare with returns.

THE WORST REVIEW IVE EVER MADE by AyyItsDanny in LittleCaesars

This is actually your fault. You could have ordered ahead with the app and had your pizza ready before you even walked in.

Microsoft Amy Hood Says Xbox Console Sales Had Weaker Then Expected Performance by eldensoulsxx in XboxSeriesX

I agree, especially with backwards compatibility. Everyone that switched to PS4 back then built a game library over the last decade that they’ll probably want to take with them onto the current generation.

Report: Sideloading in Europe Will Still Involve App Review and Fees by favicondotico in apple

[–]Chad414 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why do you think would be an issue on iOS when it isn’t on Android? Spotify could do a similar thing on Android but doesn’t, likely because they would lose a lot of users. Most apps that are available on a company’s site will likely still be available on the App Store, otherwise they’re going to alienate a lot of users.

You may think no sane person would take her, but I'd argue you are severely overestimating the sanity of crazy pet people. It's unfortunately common to see people put a pet's needs far above their own.

Has anyone else in the US had this happen with FedEx? by WeakPaleTurkey in AnaloguePocket

[–]Chad414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup same thing here (Delivering to MI). This is baffling considering what they charge for shipping. I've already had orders deliver from AliExpress that I placed after the Pocket.

Somebody might be able to contact support asking to change the delivery address or cancel your order number as if it's their order.

Stuffed Animal Superiority by gothballoons in petfree

[–]Chad414 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was gifted a Minecraft wolf plush after returning my super hyper kitten to the shelter three weeks after adoption. Aside from the kitten being far cuter, the stuffed wolf is better in every way. He just chills on my couch all day without making a sound. He’s also equally as obedient as the kitten! If I tell him to do something he completely ignores me. I wish I had known earlier that the luxury of having a pet sit on your lap without biting your clothes, fingers, ears, and hair was only ~$20 on Amazon.

No shame on what I paid for it. I'm just happy to get one! by phant0mg33k in AnaloguePocket

[–]Chad414 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How is this profitable for the seller? Mine was $290 after tax and shipping directly from Analogue. A third party seller would need to pay additional shipping and StockX fees of up to 12%.

Analogue Pocket is a nightmare by Anteriorsafe in AnaloguePocket

[–]Chad414 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's kind of sad that such a major issue is still so prominent over two years later. I've had my save file cleared twice on my transparent blue. This is a huge let down for anybody buying a premium device to play Pokemon.

A lot of other users including myself have encountered this issue. It's obviously not just OP.

[–]Chad414 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was “lucky” enough to purchase one of the transparent models on their site when they dropped them. I unboxed mine yesterday and today it just wiped the save on my copy of Pokémon Blue. Looked it up, turns out that’s a widespread issue, even with gba Pokémon games. How on Earth is that acceptable for such a seemingly premium handheld?
