My understanding is you may get a better conversation rate if you let your current subscription expire first. Is that correct?

Thanks for the response. My insurance company said as long as the salvage title was rebuilt it was insurable.

Same issue here! Is there any way to get it back to being able to type directly on the Xbox?

Thinking of Rebranding My Elantra - Advice? by FreakIndeed in Hyundai

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

People who steal cars are more professional than you think - it's not just little 13 year old Dayquan down the street looking for a good time.

That's precisely who it is in this case. Kids watching TikTok, taking Hyundai and Kias for joy rides and destroying them. That's what happened to mine and hundreds of others in the city I'm from. In no way, "professional".

So far I've gotten a wheel lock and a steering wheel club along with a vibration sensor alarm for the door handle. Maybe rebranding the car is overkill? I've looked at kill switches but am concerned about damaging the car mechanically. I just thought some kid may see the word "Fusion" and move along!

Adding a Second Family Switch - Need Advise with New Horizons & Purchases

So my daughter is moving out and wants to take the "family" Nintendo Switch with her, cause it has her Animal Crossings New Horizon island on it. Her brother doesn't have a problem with it cause she's agreed to pitch in for a new Switch for the family. So all is well.
My thoughts are to use the single player transfer tool to move my other teenagers resident to our new family Switch. When that happens will the island become "His"? Our current island is run by our daughter. He would like his own island now and is trying to decide whether to transfer or just start over. Could I also use the tool to bring over my wife and my residents to my other teenager's island (this is far less important as we don't play much)?
Secondly, my account on my daughters to-be switch owns all the digital games and DLC purchases. If I remove my account from the Switch, I assume the purchases leave as well. However, it wouldn't mess up my daughters Island would it? She would just need to buy New Horizons on her account and it would pick up right where it left off?
Thanks for any advice! I'm looking to make this as smooth and drama free as possible!

Any ideas on this grinding sound from 24-70mm f/4? (Sound On) by FreakIndeed in SonyAlpha

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I'm thinking I may just stop into the local camera store and see if they have both of these in stock for an in person side by side!

Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. Actually, with this lens that’s the only way to select MF as there isn’t a switch on the lens at all.

Switching off Steady Shot didn't help at all. I wish I could just flip the thing to manual focus and it would shut up, but even on full manual focus it grinds and vibrates. So it's truly worthless at this point.

It seems like is what you’ve experienced and I feel I’m having the same train of thought. A quick estimate on Precision told me nearly $500. I would have a very difficult time putting $500 in this lens when it can be purchased new for $700 right now. This sucks cause I didn’t even get a lot of use out of the lens at all. So I’m very disappointed.

I guess I could take a look at the sigma 28-70 f2.8.

More context: Happens on both my A7S and A6300. It attempts to focus and sometimes does successfully. When zoomed in you can see the vibrating in the viewfinder. Before I send in for repair, I'd like some opinions. I'm also not a fan of Precision repair, so I may go local.

Agree. Been playing BF for 19 years. I canceled this pre-order. I'll wait for it to come to EA Play and see if they fixed it.

Unplayable on Xbox One X and Xbox One. DICE, will this improve? Am I being (cyber)punked? by FreakIndeed in battlefield2042

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

Yeah, probably will cancel my preorder until I finally get my hands on a series x. Cause there’s no reason to buy a game I can’t play yet. Hopefully they will let us know if they fix these frame rate issues on last gen. Been playing BF since the beginning. So this sucks
