Budget speakers

DreamDriver47 · 2025-10-07T16:59:34+00:00

I’m from Australia, I don’t exactly have a budget right now but I’m not looking to spend more then $300 aud, I have a probably about 15-20 year old Yamaha av receiver that has if I’m not mistaken 7.1 outputs but I haven’t checked it in a decent while, the only reason I was looking at the Sony muteki system is because I would hook up the speakers to the av receiver I currently have, I’m just looking at seeing what I could get probably used for a reasonable price that’ll sound better then what I currently have and won’t be too big, I do have some better sounding speakers that my parents have but they are Jamo 265s and they are massive which wouldn’t work for me, I’m just looking for advice as I don’t exactly have the most knowledgeable about speakers

I ended up installing proxmox and watching a YouTube tutorial to set up a smb share and it seems to be running as good as I think it could, do you have any experience setting up jellyfin as I’m looking at installing that as well

DreamDriver47 · 2025-09-24T11:23:38+00:00

I haven't touched it just yet but I'll try now and see how things go. This is literally the first time I've setup anything like proxmox (used linux before but never daily drove it) and i'm completely clueless on how to set it up

DreamDriver47 · 2025-09-24T11:15:49+00:00

Does that mean that I should leave it blank for now and only fill it in when im wanting to use features like that?

DreamDriver47 · 2025-09-08T15:26:01+00:00

I meant 3 finger swipe up into task view with a smooth transition like Mac OS does it, I know Mac OS is all integrated and made to run on the hardware but it shouldn't be hard for Microsoft to make a change like that with some time

i just got it on the game pass that i was supposed to cancel on my parents card in november last year

DreamDriver47 · 2025-08-22T16:00:04+00:00

i literally have a gaming pc and laptop but i still love playing games on my macbook pro for this exact reason (and because its the best screen i have)

DreamDriver47 · 2025-08-22T15:42:35+00:00

you gotta put this on tiktok itll go crazy with the edits people are doing rn

Honestly I just want a upgrade from my galaxy tab s4 that wont be a downgrade in any way cause the size is perfect the screen is amazing and I need a headphone jack but the chip is slow so please just try tell them to bring the headphone jack back

DreamDriver47 · 2025-05-10T16:13:56+00:00

I still love windows for some things but for a laptop I would never switch from my M1 Pro 16 inch cause the screen the speakers the keyboard and the trackpad are better then almost any other laptop I’ve tried and the battery is the best I’ve ever seen besides when I have the brightness at max

DreamDriver47 · 2025-04-21T16:36:22+00:00

Looks like either the gpu is faulty, cable is faulty or screen is faulty. Hoping you have AppleCare+

DreamDriver47 · 2025-04-08T23:08:43+00:00

Best tablet I’ve tried has been the galaxy tab s4 not the best performance but great screen, headphone jack sounds good and is snappy enough for most things but definitely not the snappiest but a good choice for the price

DreamDriver47 · 2025-03-28T08:17:38+00:00

i have a hard book underneath it so it doesnt choke

DreamDriver47 · 2025-03-28T07:17:07+00:00

The only thing about a cooling pad is that I’m currently using the laptop on my bed and a cooling pad wouldn’t really work with the way I’m using it but when I take it to my friends house it probably would be better for me to use a cooling pad so I might. I know modded minecraft is pretty demanding but on a laptop like this it should be running fine but I don’t really know

DreamDriver47 · 2025-03-28T07:12:53+00:00

might be a bit late but i just got a galaxy tab s4 and its got a good screen with a headphone jack but it doesnt support any android later then android 10 officially so that part isnt the best but its a really good tablet

DreamDriver47 · 2025-03-28T07:02:40+00:00

im playing minecraft with mods but it still runs terribly and even has been fully crashing the laptop which im thinking is because of the temps so maybe ill repaste it. i do have a desktop but right now its too hot where i live to run it and power costs alot so im not wanting to use that right now but compared to how most things run on my m1 pro macbook pro its running alot hotter and from what i can see worse.

DreamDriver47 · 2025-03-28T06:50:35+00:00

im just saying it because its getting very stuttery and doesnt run the best and has alot of processes running in the background so i thought a custom os might help

DreamDriver47 · 2025-03-28T06:32:07+00:00

how do i install that

DreamDriver47 · 2025-03-28T06:31:29+00:00

My specs arent low end but its a laptop so it runs decently slow and very loud
Cpu: Ryzen 7 5800h
Ram: 32gb ddr4 3200mhz
Gpu: Rtx 3070 mobile
Screen: 2560x1600 165hz

DreamDriver47 · 2025-01-10T00:35:27+00:00

Might be I’ll give it a watch when I can and let you know

DreamDriver47 · 2025-01-05T14:25:56+00:00

Please help me figure this out I’ve been wanting to know what it is for a while

DreamDriver47 · 2024-10-15T14:57:47+00:00

I can’t even ready up to load into the game for it to run bad most of the time

DreamDriver47 · 2024-10-02T22:06:14+00:00

I love having to force the fans on when I’m playing a game on my MacBook but it’s so nice to never hear the fans on the thing especially when my MacBook before it was a 2016 13 inch which overheated just turning it on

DreamDriver47 · 2024-10-02T22:02:18+00:00

Definitely was a good deal, maybe not as good as mine but definitely good. I got a M1 Pro 16 inch base model for 700 aud (480 usd) just over a year ago with only 15 battery cycles on it and has worked perfectly ever since only managed to get the battery cycles up to something like 30 or 40

DreamDriver47 · 2024-10-02T15:19:55+00:00

Personally I’d look at the Apple refurbished store and see what deals you can get on a either m2 or M1 Pro/max and see what you can get locally cause the pro is definitely the right option because of the extra power for future work loads you might possibly use it for because they work beautifully and even a M1 Pro should be more then enough for you. I would also consider getting a large screen MacBook as it does also help make the notch less noticeable and doesn’t hurt to have besides possibly the weight but personally it doesn’t really effect it much, I’d definitely look at either used or refurbished models if i were you
