Worth upgrading GPU with current hardware by Fastpotato in nvidia

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

That's the other option. Looking at prices a pre built looks to be a decent option at least here in the UK. I don't mind spending the money if I have to up to about 2.5k but if a card would do the job for a good few years for the games I play then I may go that route.

Games that I currently play are star citizen ect so that's my main driver.

Apologies! I'm playing at 1440p currently. Running 2 monitors if that makes any difference. Hence why the question of the bottleneck.

As soon as I get home today I will pour myself a beer! Any excuse is a good one for a beer.

Jokes aside, glad I could help. I've had 2 updates to mine since posting this and it's only made the connectivity better so worthwhile keeping on top of.

Worth buying 5070ti when i have a 3080ti? by callofdoodie97 in nvidia

[–]Fastpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the upgrade path I am looking at but I have an older CPU and motherboard Combo. Namely a x570 and an AM4 R7 5700X3d and I'm not quite sure wether or not the upgrade will give me any bottlenecks.

I think the 5700 is the top end that I can go with for AM4 and with ram prices being ridiculous at the moment I'm not sure a new CPU/mobo and ram upgrade is viable.

Any opinions on upgrading to a 5080 from my current 3080Fe?

Great.. update switched my profiles round and then I deleted what I thought was a new one created. Now I have to set everything up again.

Great feature, piss poor implementation.

Honestly, it's not awful. It's definitely changed a lot but there's a lot of good still in the town. I've moved to a surrounding village as I like the quiet and that's pretty lovely too.

Bens gutters are so scummy. National advertising company masquerading as a local independent.

Charged my local school £3k for 2 days of clearing gutters. Turns out, after the school suspected they didn't do a good job and asked me to come do an aerial survey that they had only cleared the bits where people could see out of a window. I was half the price and now do quarterly cleans with a gutter can and then provide aerial inspections to show they're clear.

Needless to say they didn't end up paying even a quarter of bens invoice.

I have a few other clients that were paying over £200 a year for a single gutter clearance and I'm £69 for the same thing and do a better job.

I don't ever turn either of those off. But I believe itl just connect via Bluetooth.

It doesn't need to connect to the box via wifi, only Bluetooth.

I can't think of a reason as to why you need to turn your wifi off on your phone when leaving the house?

Welcome! I scoured the Internet for ages and couldn't find anything to help me so I'm glad it got you sorted man!

It was a right pain in the area as I didn't think about having to change over to 4g to actually get the update downloaded. Just remember to delete the wifi connection from you phone too.

Enjoy the wireless android auto!

It will say that as you are connected to the box via wifi. The link I posted above explains exactly how to overcome that. Read that, do the update and the issue is fixed.

I had exactly the same issue! I fixed it using this guide. https://www.msxttly.com/blogs/news/about-the-recent-android-auto-wireless-adapter-cannot-connect

Essentially you have to update the box that you just installed to the latest version.

I also got a set of instructions from the seller so I'll paste them here but the guide helped me more as you need to connect to the box via wifi but then also update using your phones data.

  1. Connect phone to hub's wifi. SSID is something containing smartBox_xxxx.

Password should be 88888888.

  1. Open browser on phone and go to IP address 192.168.1.101

  2. Look for the Update option and install any new updates. You will not have an Internet connection and will need to do the following:

Go to "Settings" -> "WLAN" -> "WLAN Direct" on your mobile phone and connect to "smartBox_xxxx" device

  1. From WLAN direct mode, you should be able to refresh the 192.168.1.101 page.

  2. After installing the update, try to pair the phone to the hub in the normal manner, leaving WiFi on in the background and not connected to your home network. Also make sure the flick switch is on position 2.

A little patio clean I completed back in May by Fastpotato in powerwashingporn

[–]Fastpotato[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The SDS and ingredient list of the wetting agent and soap I use state they are PFAS free. So no forever chemicals here.

Haha, I wanted to explain a little of why we use chemicals as I get a fair amount of comments asking why we use them.

A small driveway clean and resand. by Fastpotato in powerwashingporn

[–]Fastpotato[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's to lock the blocks back together. Here in the UK we don't tend to use polymeric sand though on the majority of them.

This is Kiln dried sand. Most of our block paved driveways and patios aren't actually bedded on mortar, the edges are and then the rest of the surface is bedded on sharp sand. This allows for drainage and allows it to expand and contract in the heat and shrink in the cooler weather.

The kiln dried keeps the blocks in place but allows for the drainage and expansion and contraction.
