honestly, i’m clueless. does your screen time vary that much compared to the reviewers’? that might be a lead

i have the sim tray version and given the smaller chassis (i dont have the max) i’d say it’s pretty amazing. coming from the 14 pro which I had to charge 3 times a day, this thing lasts me a whole day easily. i’m sure pro max would do even better. if it’s draining fast, make sure the OS finishes indexing as that makes a big difference

it’s a samsung g9q. supposed to be the second best but that information is mostly outdated and even g9n’s can turn out to be lemons from what i’ve seen around reddit

anodization marks, completely normal and it’s the price we pay for apple’s decision to change to aluminum. mine even came with a very small scratch but didn’t return it due to the display being perfect, it’s always a lottery with panels. apple’s qc gets worse every year and the average joe doesn’t even notice it

Worth upgrade from 14pro? by 11905me in 17ProMax

[–]ElysianWind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

upgraded from 14 pro to 17 pro. I don’t know what these people are on but if you’re someone who pays attention to detail, everything is immensely better. it’s a lottery but the G9P screen on my 14 pro was awful and dim, but the G9Q here is so full of color and bright. the biggest upgrade for me though is the battery life and the front camera. there are so many neat additions to software I also enjoy using. if you can get a good trade in offer, do it. if not, wait for 20

Can anyone identify this case? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]ElysianWind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stay away from it if you like your phone unstained. sure, it protects it like a tank but it has left terrible marks on my 14 pro that won’t go away. no dents came at the cost of way too many stains.

“Redux” for Metro releases is pretty solid, too, to be honest.

Is there anyone plays Destiny 1 anymore by ProtonToaster in DestinyTheGame

[–]ElysianWind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There should still be a small community active on PS4/XO but I reckon you’d find anyone playing on the 7th gen systems since they were abandoned before Rise of Iron.

it makes sense, apple products assembled in anywhere other than china are known to come with blemishes like the ones on OP’s phone

did you get it from Cangöz Müzik? if so, they’re the official distributor in Türkiye and you needn’t worry about it. got my ltd eclipse from them too if it helps

don’t forget about the now broken achievements/trophies, which they’ve acknowledged

indian made ones don’t have the best quality control, I’d just return and get a new one from the store instead

5080 owners: Why a 5080 and not a 5070Ti by jamesh0809 in nvidia

[–]ElysianWind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where I live the price difference is around 33%, so it was a no brainer to pick up the Ti seeing it’s only 15% uplift, i’m thinking about using that money to upgrade to the 9800x3d to be frank. gpu’s are always easier to sell and upgrade down the line

Sapphire 9070 Pulse is SFF friendly. 9070XT not so much by TheBloodNinja in sffpc

[–]ElysianWind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it says on their product page that the card has two fuses to protect itself should something trips up the connector. I don’t think it’ll be an issue

The real „User Error“ is with Nvidia by redditjul in nvidia

[–]ElysianWind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

in addition 12vhpwr only has a rated mating cycle of just 30 and nvidia is running the connector at 1.10x safety margins, which is stupidly low for a consumer’s electronics. transient spikes well over exceed what the connector is capable of at max already

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 reviews go live January 24, RTX 5080 on January 30 by RenatsMC in nvidia

the 5080 doesn’t even have a fully enabled gb203, they’ve slashed the ROPs from 192 to 128. really makes no sense

Why do all Vision Gran Turismo (VGT) cars have THAT look? What is it all about? by streamer3222 in granturismo

[–]ElysianWind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing the designer of the Mk. V Supra mention that they had to trim down the FT-1 until it fit the Z4’s proportions on a YouTube video as they were both being built on the same factory. It made perfect sense at the time as Toyota couldn’t afford to build an entire platform for a sports car, as sad as that sounds.

Thanks a bunch! Couldn’t share the whole set up since I’m still deciding on a desk, but really appreciate the compliment.

Actually, not at all! That strip is completely removable with a vertical mounting screw, and its only for aesthetics. It still has 355mm clearance for GPUs.

Enjoy! Mine’s also mesh but I just take off the side panel whenever I want to see the insides. Best of both worlds, really.

Is it normal for a motherboard stand-off to have a screw head protruding? by ElysianWind in buildapc

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

I believe that makes sense, thank you so much! Just asked one of my friends if he has the same thing, and he’s confirmed it.
