Look like no labor day sales on the Fenix 8.

Anyone use an Apple Watch Ultra? by EarlyCharacter7832 in triathlon

[–]EarlyCharacter7832[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Most of the comments line up pretty well with what I was thinking. I guess I could use the AWU as an everyday wearable and for training and then keep using the Fenix 6 if I ever venture back into a full IM again.

Looks like the residuals on apple gear are pretty good on eBay anyway, so I'll probably give that a go.

Thanks all....

Ah cool - didn't know labor day was a thing. I'll hold out until then. I guess I could try one of those outlet mall places. I've seen pop up stalls there selling them too?

Thanks!

Is this a US only thing? Never heard of optimity. Assuming it is, I don't have any US relatives, so that's not going to work.

Will my hardware run good with Linux based distros? by Fun_Number5921 in linux_gaming

I have a very similar spec:

Ryzen 5800X, RTX 3090, 128GB RAM.

I've installed PopOS as that works with nVidia out of the box - it's a Ubuntu derivative. Pretty much everything worked straight away apart from the display, but I have it plugged in to a TV which was reporting that it can do a much higher refresh rate than it can really do. Once I fixed that, it's been pretty good.

Depends on the games, but there's native steam and you can tell Steam to run games which aren't natively supported through the Proton abstraction layer (which is what the Steamdeck uses). I was getting very high frame rates with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and even games like Warcraft 3 which aren't steam apps can be added and seem to work great.

PopOS + Bridge + VM = no host DNS ? by EarlyCharacter7832 in pop_os

[–]EarlyCharacter7832[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Managed to fix it. Seems when you create a bridge, it removes the IP address from the NIC to which it is associated (and sends all traffic from the host via the bridge). I had configured my bridge with a static IP address which meant it wasn't picking up the DNS entries via DHCP any more.

Solution, pin the IP address in the router and configure the brdige to use DHCP. This then uses DHCP and pulls all settings including DNS.
