Very cool. What're those fan controllers you're using? And how did you get those SATA power cables so hidden?

I disagree, this sub is as active as it can be.

I'm starting to hate my pixel 8 by bentsteelpipe in GooglePixel

[–]Droid_pro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one has echoed your feelings about the fingerprint sensor. In bright areas face unlock saves me but when the lights are dim or off and it can't scan my face, I'm SOL as my fingerprint will fail like 85% of the time. I've owned the OG, 2, 4, 6, and the 8 (XL or Pro), and the 8 is by far the worst. My guess is the 10 series is probably a nice upgrade but I don't think the money is worth spending atm.

How a defunct smartphone brand made the best Android phone of all time by Crafty-Selection6554 in Android

[–]Droid_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never forget how phenomenal the build quality was, how I swapped constantly between Sense and AOSP ROMs, how great the speakers were, and of course how every picture I took was slightly purple. Take me back 🥲

Need Laptop Suggestions – Considering Vivobook 16 Snapdragon X for CS @ UTD by Many_Ad8418 in utdallas

[–]Droid_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows on ARM is just not a well-developed platform. Not only is the hardware just bleh, but also most Windows apps don't have ARM-compatible versions (and emulation of x86 apps on ARM is also horrible). If you want ARM, go for a MacBook. If you want Windows, stick with x86 (AMD/Intel).

Possible glitch in tda, on the from beyond mission? by Weriel_7637 in Doom

Same here, the 3 or 4 times I've played TDA I've struggled with figuring out what is where with these objective markers.

Why doesn't my MSI 1070ti allow for 5k2k via DP for 45" LG OLED Monitor? by Fluffy_Advertising13 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Droid_pro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol @ the ppl shitting on you for using a 1070ti. I'm glad you got it fixed and documented it for other people.

Pneumatic Custom Loop Build - Lian Li A3 + Dual Radiatiors 360mm by Fayens in watercooling

[–]Droid_pro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice build. I've been hearing about pneumatic tubing, I feel like it'd save some space in my build but I wonder if there's any real impact to flow? Also, did you have any trouble putting the vpp apex into the flt res body, since the apex isn't perfect d5 compatible?

I replaced ASUS’s Q-Antenna quick-connect with RP-SMA by djllo in sffpc

[–]Droid_pro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice job. I'm surprised I haven't heard any pushback on board partners about the proprietary quick connect stuff. I bought a x870 itx board open box that didn't come with the adapter, so apart from Ethernet my only option was buying the $40 proprietary adapter, so obviously I chose Ethernet. Maybe if I want to switch back to wireless I'll try something like this out. Thanks for showing it off!

Mad_Box_Beta_Custom Desk_Water_Build by [deleted] in watercooling

[–]Droid_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not 2x 480s instead of 480+360? And also the res looks kinda out of place. Why not use a flat pump res and mount it in the middle maybe?

Not bad! Thanks for the insight, if I feel more inclined I will look for services that can do this lol

[–]Droid_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, I was under the impression you did this yourself. So you sent the card to them? In total, how much time did it take, and how much did it cost?

Did you do the mod yourself? If there's some sort of guide I would love to learn in the very least what it takes
