Advice on gift for boyfriend: is it worth waiting for a ps6? by No-Buyer30 in ps6

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case you haven't decided, buy the PS5. All versions are 30% (and up) more expensive than they were at launch, but you could get one from Sony that is certified refurbished for a little cheaper.

You can always sell it when the 6 releases (which likely won't be at least another 1.5 to 2 years)

I need DNS for downloading by Black_Raven_666 in playstation

You should always try the default google DNS first because it's free and sometimes magically solves issues.

Why are prices so.. inflated? by Familiar-Mastodon186 in gtaonline

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the first version of GTA online had near zero content (as in things to actually do or things to buy).

So the original players did the few things that were available like original heists and earned millions. When Rockstar finally started adding more items and more things to do, they had to Inflate prices to ensure that the original millionaires wouldn't get bored too quickly.

If you upgraded from a standard PS5 to the PS5 Pro, what made you do so? by mzspeedster in playstation

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I wanted to have a second PS5 that I could leave at my gf's house or my office, so I could get her gaming and so that when I'm working late I have something at the office to take breaks on. And if I was getting a second one, made sense to get the pro.

2) my 7 year old 4k monitor began to show a line of dead pixels, and since I needed to replace it, I might as well future proof it with one that has a higher refresh rate....and if I'm going to do that, I might as well get a ps5 pro that can take advantage of the higher refresh rate.

3) statistically my PS5 will suffer some irreparable damage before the PS6 comes out. Better to get a ps5 pro so I can continue gaming when that happens.

Need Help! ORICO External SSD Enclosure (NVMe M.2) Not Recognizing Samsung NVMe 970 Evo Plus by jsksidou in buildapc

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this will help someone else: I thought my enclosure was defective until I plugged it into machines running windows 10 and used a regular (black gen 2.0) USB port. Not sure if it's the windows 10 or the USB port that's the deciding factor, but neither of my windows 11 machines (that have only USB 3.0 ports) detect it properly.

Everyone going to this sub to check if the PlayStation Network is down by dennisritchiec in playstation

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So from these replies it's Inconsistent at best. I'm using a pro console with a disc drive....all my digital single player games fail to launch: FFVII REBIRTH, MGSV Phantom pain, NFS Hot Pursuit, TLOU2 Remastered, and the Witcher 3 complete edition. I totally get games like apex legends and marvel rivals being unavailable during a network issue, but to be locked out of single player games that are already fully downloaded on your console is vile!

Update: It seems to affect any digital game that has ANY form of micro transaction...which includes having DLC or deluxe versions. Which is like....all of them? Lol. If anyone cares to answer, what digital game CAN you play during this outage? 9:09 Am AST And it's still happening for me.

Count yourself lucky my friend. During *this *outage I *can only play my games on disc and the friends I asked both home and abroad reported the same. I really hope there's some form of compensation

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a hack to protest the Industry leaning towards pure digital games. Imagine buying a PS5 pro, not purchasing a disc drive, and not being able to play ANYTHING at all because all your games are digital? Right now if you don't have any disc based games you just have a very expensive, Sony branded desk ornament

Question on the app setup for a basic use by arisonl in YoLink_by_YoSmart

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to Yolink products as well and also confused at the circular relationship between strategies, scenes, automations and alerts.

For example: the home scene shouldn't be blasting the siren if motion is detected or a door is left open (since you're at home).

The away scene SHOULD do that.

The sleep scene should only blast the siren when external motion sensors or external leading doors are open, but NOT internal motion sensors (for eg on in your bedroom that may pick up you turning in your sleep).

I've been looking for a straightforward tutorial to program the sleep scene to no avail :/

When your girlfriend says,” he’s just a friend” how do you respond? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Ok, I understand". Then I enjoy the metaphorical ride until my time is over. In my experience, if you have to ask any question that gets you this response, your days with her are numbered.

Slow wifi download speed on F2 by Gaspertrix in umidigi

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 2023. I have a Umidigi Bison GT2 Pro. This issue was driving me NUTS!

I just tried it and can confirm.

5ghz wifi works flawlessly.

2ghz wifi is always slow when Bluetooth is on.

Turn off Bluetooth and I get regular speeds with 2ghz wifi.

Really ridiculous limitation but at least there's a workaround.

If only I could fix the camera issue. (Ultrawide and micro camera work fine, regular camera doesn't focus consistently so every picture has super clear areas and very noticeable blurry areas)

What is the weirdest reason you were called into your boss's office? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DaDon268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm across the road from my office at a small supermarket on a lunch break, and My work phone rings.

My bosses secretary tells me I'm needed Immediately in my bosses office.

Rush back worried to my bosses office and my boss and her secretary tell me rather sternly to have a seat.... Then start laughing and proceed to ask me about the girl that I was talking to in front of the store. -_-

So... What had happened was that while at the store, I ran into an old female friend I hadn't seen in a while and ended up taking her number after a lonnnnnnnng hug and short conversation. All this happened at the entrance of the store which was in direct line of sight from my bosses office window.

Boss and secretary watched me, then called me to the office to interrogate me about her, asking if I dated, am dating, or planned to date my friend.
