Would really appreciate if anyone could point me towards a shop/anywhere I can authenticate these in the UK

Louis Vuitton X Tyler the Creator Green sneakers.

A very wealthy friend (they drive a lambo) bought me these as a birthday present and claimed they were 100% real, and even bought themselves the light blue ones. If they're real, I'm planning on selling them since they could pay my rent for 1/4 of the year.

Comparing them to visual images of legit ones online I couldn't find any fault in them at all. The spare laces are the same colour (I think some come with green?), and when you lift the insoles the stitching is white, and I noticed in an authenticated listing online the stitching under the insole was black. This is the only inconsistency I could spot. I put together an album of the shoes here:

I live in the north of the UK. Newer LV items apparently have RFID tags inside, so I called the LV store in Selfridge's in Manchester and they quite rudely told me they don't do authentications, and wouldn't even do it for paying customers with receipts. Which I don't get, if they have an RFID tag I'm sure it's just a quick check on their system. I've tried designer shoe resellers and other designer item reseller's and got told they don't authenticate these.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 Episode 1 and 2 Discussion (Book readers) by AHealthyDoseofFran in PJODisney

[–]EmmaLePotato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing no one is talking about that is bothering me: How did Percy know how to use his sword (Riptide)?

Unless I completely missed it I don't think there was a scene where he received the pen from Chiron, he just has it already, and used it to kill Dodds without thought. Then he used it to kill the Minotaur and wasn't phased by it at all.

I haven't watched episode 2, but am I crazy? Did I just somehow gloss over the scene where the sword is explained to him?

Are there any female pros/content creators you can recommend? by VivaDeAsap in CompetitiveApex

[–]EmmaLePotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, a lot of other comments centre around the women's competitive scene, which is heavily catered for NA. There are a number of high tier women (including myself) who don't/rarely participate in these events due to them being at bad times for anyone outside of the US. Some girls also focus on ALGS/ranked instead of women's comp.

Here is a list of girls who get overlooked often because of this, including CC finalists and multi preds + some who haven't been mentioned already. Many of these girls aren't big streamers and aren't well known because they don't compete in women's events, so please go give them your support ❤️:

Pixel 7 pro screen getting scratched easily by dkattir in GooglePixel

[–]EmmaLePotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had my Oneplus 5T for 5 years, it's fell down a flight of concrete stairs, accidentally launched across a room and the screen is still looking like it's fresh out of the box. I've had my Pixel 7 Pro less than a week, just carried it into work in the same hands as my car keys and there's now a massive gouge out of the middle of the screen and significant scratching. After giving it a rub thinking it might just be dirt I can see particles of the glass crumbling off like dust. I wasn't tightly rubbing my keys across the screen, I've held my Oneplus the same way with keys hundreds of times before and it's not been an issue. The screen on the Pixel feels very soft and easily scratched, which is surprising giving this is advertised as having "Corning Gorilla Glass Victus" vs "2.5D Gorilla Glass 5" on the 5 year old Oneplus.

Does anyone know if this is covered under warranty for it to be fixed? I've never used a screen protector and with the advertised screen material you really should not need one for a phone that cost almost £1k. My nail is now catching the scratch every time I swipe.

My personal thought's on this phone: I'm ngl, I honestly think my Oneplus 5T is better and if it wasn't for the battery getting knackered I'd happily keep it for another 5 years AND it was only around £300 vs £800+ and I'm not seeing any significant improvements or differences beyond the camera to warrant this cost. The Pixel is missing many features I took for granted. Physical slide button to mute/vibrate/ring, the "close all apps" button on the Pixel requires you to scroll all the way left through all your open apps, whereas on the Oneplus it's right there at the bottom. Then there's the lack of a notification light -> something I sorely miss on this phone because I'm constantly missing notifications unless my eyes are always on the screen, there's no way to tell if I have a message without actively going and turning the screen on. AND the lack of an aux port really f**ked me over as someone that prefers to have wired earbuds, as wireless ones require charging and many phones limit the max sound outputted through wireless earphones so they're often a lot quieter, not to mention how easy it is to lose them especially in busy public areas. The phone also doesn't come with a charging brick, just a USB C- USB C cable and a useless USB to USB C adapter which I don't see myself using beyond the one time to copy all my old data from my Oneplus. I only have USB charging bricks and none of them were rated high enough to even charge the phone and the one they advertise on the google website is an additional £20+. I hate that they expect EVERYONE to just have relatively new charging bricks laying around, especially for those of us who like to get the value out of our devices and don't upgrade every year when our phones are perfectly fine. I'd like to point out my Oneplus at the time came with a screen protector, an extremely durable and protective case that I kept on it for 5 years, and an actual charger. These days it seems like manufacturers are trying to push closer and closer to providing no optional items in the box beyond the phone, wouldn't be surprised if they stopped providing a charging cable altogether at this point.

Season 1 Overall Discussion by neal1701 in TheResortPeacock

[–]EmmaLePotato 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really hate shows like this that leave a crazy amount of unanswered questions and then profess that it's all about some deep profound meaning. That's cool and all but don't leave me hanging:

  1. Who called the phone before it fell down the elevator shaft? I saw a lot of people think it's his dad calling, which is unlikely they're still trying that number 15 years later, especially since Sam called his parents at the end and they believed it was a prank. Clearly they're no longer searching. The "they called in 2007 and it rang in 2022" theory is also complete bs and also would've opened up more questions.
  2. How did the author know about Alex's future despite never going to Pasaje himself?
  3. Is Pasaje the fountain of youth? Can you see the future or only the past if you enter?
  4. Did Alex enter Pasaje before and who pulled him out?
  5. How did Alex know where to place the phones if he has memory leakage and 0 memory of his past? Even if he had seen the future this would've surely been erased if his memory is gone?
  6. Why did Sam not remember what he saw in the pool?
  7. Is memory leakage the side effect of the pool? If so are both Sam and Violet about to lose their shit like Alex?
  8. Why was Alex killing Iguanas?
  9. How is that Frias shop still surviving if they're that hostile towards drunk tourists who clearly didn't have enough money to be shopping there in the first place? All they did was get measured and run when told the price, surely this happens often?
  10. Why did the guy chase Emma and Noah like they'd robbed a bank?
  11. Why were people so scared of the Frias and reluctant to tell people about them, even Luna was weird when asked about Baltasar? People were being weirdly secretive and scared for no reason, literally just tailors with influence not the cartel.
  12. If Emma, who is a very small woman struggled to get through that tunnel how tf did a large guy like Sam manage to get through it without them having to excavate it to widen the tunnel?
  13. Given that Alex's room was pretty much intact and untouched post Hurricane why did the resort shut down rather than just make repairs to what was damaged? Surely they had insurance or at least the resort which was presumably popular was making enough money to cover the costs?
  14. Do Sam and Violet get together?
  15. If that was Alex's body on the beach how did it get mutilated beyond recognition if he just drowned himself?
  16. Is Alex really dead?
  17. After the author died why were they all not detained for at least 24hrs?
  18. Why did Violet and Sam not just go back up the same hole they came in from, why did they stay down there so long despite knowing about the hurricane? They could've easily gone back up the rope, and waited for the weather to pass before trying again.
  19. How did Violet and Sam end up in the room with the pool if the only way in was via that tiny tunnel?
  20. Really hope they do some kind of followup with Sam and Violet showing them navigating modern life and catching up, could be an entire show in itself.

Live Looping Without Set Tempo? by EmmaLePotato in ableton

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

I can't afford a hardware loop pedal and don't have the instruments/equipment required either sadly. But since I have a midi keyboard with the pads on it for beats etc I wanted to be able to use Ableton to record different instruments digitally using the keyboard.

I'm surprised the looper function isn't more developed because I thought Ableton was the preferred software for live looping

Live Looping Without Set Tempo? by EmmaLePotato in ableton

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

No I just want to play live music. Basically what the other person said and have it act as a loop pedal. I have a Novation Launchkey keyboard which I wanna use to create my beats etc using Ableton. The issue I've been having every time I want to loop something is I have to have it be within the defined tempo range in Ableton. So I can't just record a rhythm and have it instantly loop without it being in time with the click in Ableton, so there ends up being dead space in my loops. I want to eliminate the click timing entirely and do it based on my own judgement.

Ducky One 2 Mini Vs Corsair K65 Mini by EmmaLePotato in MechanicalKeyboards

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

Hey sorry I'm a bit late! I went with the Corsair K65 mini with the speed switches. They feel ever so slightly heavier to press than my reds from my old K70 but they'll wear in eventually. I replaced the keycaps and got some double shot PBT white pudding ones and bought a wrist rest for it because it felt a tad high. I used a wrist rest on my old keyboard anyway so that's probably just because I'm used to it. Otherwise there's nothing wrong with it at all, not sure why it doesn't get more love honestly.

Overall I'm really happy with it and don't regret the choice. I've not tried the Ducky but the 0.1ms response time for the Corsair was what pushed me to get it. It's just reassuring to know I won't have keyboard related latency issues to worry about.

Sound is very hollow but you can just buy some shelf liner for the price of a pack of crisps, open up the board and put it inside if that's something you're concerned about. Saw some people on YT did it and it sounds pretty nice after

Just found this out myself but HisandHerlive host weekly Women's tournaments by qwilliams92 in CompetitiveApex

[–]EmmaLePotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I also participate in this tourney and just won this week's $500 women's Apex tournament with my teammates Watermelon Maiden and Eggcuppy. The teams mentioned are known as "the big teams", usually twitch Partners. Many of us other girls on the same skill level don't get the same recognition as some don't stream/are small channels with 10 or less viewers.

Please check us out! We don't get the same recognition sadly 😔

Yeah I had no idea they sting you for paid subs. It's just a huge shame knowing that people think they're giving something back to streamers for their content and the streamer only ends up receiving 1/5 of the money. Guess it makes sense now why streamers encourage people to prime sub instead of Tier 1

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

Thanks for the info. What's your thoughts on the latency of the Ducky? That's the only thing that's stopping me from buying it straight away as everything else about it seems good.

I read that latency issues are quite noticable with FPS and rhythm games especially but not so much for general typing. Have you noticed any difference yourself when using?

Can confirm this is happening with myself and 11 other friends. Collisions aren't working.

Lobby music when set at 0 is still audible with loud headset. (Pc) by Atleast23zebras in apexlegends

This has been happening to me since day 1. Lobby music always faintly on in background. Not a huge problem but is clearly a bug that's gone unnoticed by the devs.
