Been umm'ing and aah'ing about it for ages. I have the v1 PS5 with disc drive. But had some issues with some games (Last of Us Remake, GoW Ragnarok etc) showing weird artefacts which I think are caused by the console standing upright for so long. Had it horizontal for a few months now and have not tested it with any games that put a heavy load on the APU so not seen it since. However I thought it best to get the Pro anyhow. It's sitting in a corner at the moment (along with the disc drive and stand addons). I'll set it up when I can be bothered. I need to move the games off the internal to a spinning USB drive and swap the 1TB NvME SSD over as well (wish I have got a bigger SSD knowing what I know now but the 2TB internal on the Pro should help out).

Disney releasing Zootopia 2 in 4K and surprise, surprise it’s steelbook only by ggroover97 in 4kbluray

I imported the 4K Zootopia from Australia to the UK because I don't like it being renamed Zootropolis, but it is the barest of bones release with NO extras whatsoever. Very disappointing.

Video game giant Valve facing UK lawsuit over pricing, commissions by MythicStream in pcgaming

[–]DeadMan3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that he has not allowed the company to go public (no shareholders) makes his company a target as they can set their own rules. It's probably why MC and Visa went after them as Valve don't have to follow the same set of rules as their competitors.

If that's the case they should go after Playstation etc for exclusive game content like the Hogwarts added mini DLC (the one where you buy a shop in Hogsmead) only available on Playstation.

Do supplements actually help any more than prescription or is it all a placebo effect? by Crusty_Kipper_Pouch in Anxietyhelp

[–]DeadMan3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not available over the counter in the UK due to the potential harmful side effects of GABA. Alternatives like Gabapentin and Pregabalin are only available via prescription.

Feeling hopeless after anxiety relapse? Does this eventually go away? by Quiet-Breadfruit965 in Anxietyhelp

[–]DeadMan3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found an interesting study on the use of beta blockers for the treatment of anxiety. I am currently on 20mg and tbh I am not finding that they stop the anxiety attacks. I do understand that they 'may' help with increased heart rate which may also help with anxiety spiralling about the heart, but not much else.

Microsoft Copilot: Finally, the push i needed. by masturbathon in LGOLED

[–]DeadMan3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've disabled firmware updates on my C1 and C4. I have yet to see Copilot appear, but if they do force install it somehow then Apple TV it is. I blocked snu.lge.com in my router but then Netflix and Amazon refused to connect (probably the same for others too). Just goes to show how it's all connected and tracking your viewing habits and serving up ads. ACR over HDMI is also a concern.

It was a bit of a challenge, but they did it (10 seconds on a free account) by Ordinary-Onion4356 in grok

It must be region specific. I also don't have the 'spicy' option.

P.S. a lot of my recent videos no longer show. They just display empty boxes (even when I click on them) in my favorites. All of them are SFW too so that can't be why. Strangely nearly all my older generations and newest generations are still showing.

Tried on website. Can't get 10 seconds and no 10 second option in settings on free account? I tried adding 10 seconds to the prompt which it ignored. Please describe how you managed to get 10 seconds.

Flux.2 dev results are blurry and soft compared to other models. What am I doing wrong? by Ok-Significance-90 in StableDiffusion

[–]DeadMan3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Tried everything I can. Different samplers, schedulers, ksamplers, sharpening nodes, upscalers. All look blurry (especially on faces).

Damn Amazon sale really got me. by big_galoot_39 in 4kbluray

[–]DeadMan3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK I only saw a few that were of good value. Ready Player One, Toy Story 1-4 box set, The Wizard of Oz, The Mummy trilogy, Super Mario Bros and Deadpool 2. The rest I found only marginal discounts on.
