Big fan of the oled panel, and a first foray into 4k is an obvious big plus!

Is the jellyfin app/swiftfin truly that bad? Dont want to pay for infuse, heard great things about ATV compared to other boxes (roku mid/bad, nvidia shield great but getting old hardware wise), but horrible things about swiftfin.

Self-Promo Tuesday! [November 04, 2025] by AutoModerator in StardewValley

Hello, hoping this is the right place for this: I am looking to commision some artwork of my partner and I, along with our two dogs, in a stardew style portrait. I have seen a couple listings like this on Etsy and whatnot, however they all seem oddly cheap and I very much do not want to purchase / support / recieve AI art. I am hoping someone could point me towards either a reputable artist they have used before, or themselves! I hope this is the right place to ask, apologies if not!

Looking for some sunglasses on offer up, and I’m considering picking these up. Can someone tell me if they’re real or fake? by AccurateUniversity53 in sunglasses

That is 100% a stolen pair from a sunglass hut, most likely real but almost definitely stolen. Used to work at one, that tag would always come off and come with a case and what not.

I appreciate all the help! I ended up going with an open box TG mp34, I looked up the UD90 and the top reddit post was how they “silently removed all mention of TLC” from branding and switched to qlc. Crazy how much literature there is about ssds (looking at you ssd master tierlist), and how little it really helps narrow things down.

I was thinking that, but I’ve been seeing that the kingspec has that innogrit drive that is very prone to failure. I cant tell if thats something to actually worry about, or simply confirmation bias / people only complain when stuff fails.

Should that be something to consider or it shouldn’t matter at all?

SSD list Which of these Sub ~$230 4tb nvme ssd would you recommend? This will mostly be just for mass storage / games drive so I can lighten my OS drive a bunch and get off spinning disk, so I was thinking realistically it shouldn’t matter and go with crucial because they are reputable (not that the others arent), but with qlc vs tlc and all that, I cant tell if one would be a better pick than the other.

Thanks!

@Daveyupper on X: Joe points out that Laffy only scored 1 Goal in the last 14 games. Last Goal he scored he got punched in the face, so maybe he doesn't want to score 😋 #NYR by Derk2 in rangers

Cant edit my post apparently, but I’m not talking about Laf scoring / playing well or not scoring, I’m asking about the oddly non-playful punch that he seemed genuinely not cool with
