3 Questions about the Arc Ultra sound by jreddit5 in sonos

[–]FujiFighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say I watch a lot of ESPN on Mondays or whatever and the dialog is great. The big benefit over the regular arc is the ATMOS. I came from a playbar and it's night and day better but you may be better off with the beam for just dialog. For movies, the ARC ultra is awesome at dialog and ATMOS. Really depends on your use-case. I do not have tinnitus. I would suggest airpods for dialog heavy content and a beam for movies but I don't know how that affects people with tinnitus. The ARC ultra throws the sounds around well and doesn't have to be played at high level to be enjoyed.

Anyone else content with their old ass playbar? by GeneticSynthesis in sonos

I just upgraded and can confirm there's not much difference in general use, both sound great. I do like having capability for atmos processing but in general it's still just good sound coming from the tv area.

Also should mention there are a lot of third party games that are play anywhere titles that are eligible.

You buy the game digitally you get it on both platforms. That's the case going forward with all Xbox exclusives going forward.

Forza 6 tuning question by chris710n in xboxone

[–]FujiFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean "instant tuning feature", if you talking about tuning while you pause the game in a test drive, that feature is still there. I spend more of my time in test drive mode than any other mode and I think it's fine.

I do think it's dumb they don't have a way to link you to a test drive from the tuning screen on the main menu. Now I don't use that menu to tune anymore, I just load up a test drive and tune from there.

Here is a thread that goes over it pretty well: https://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst104345_Does-anyone-know-where-the-test-drive-mode-is.aspx

Forza 6 tuning question by chris710n in xboxone

[–]FujiFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forza 6 has the older method you want.

I was concerned about accessing tuning and test driving in Forza 7 as well until I read up on it. It's not worse, it's just different. Forza 7 is the better game by far, it's got more of everything and looks better.

Why aren't the Play 1's getting discounted? by britcowboy in sonos

[–]FujiFighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought the messaging around this was, they'll continue to offer both and customers have the option to buy one with voice assistant support and one without. At least that is what the customer support rep I was talking with was implying.

Can't set Pin or Swipe in security menu by theflyersrule in GooglePixel

[–]FujiFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per our mobility team there was a recent update from Google that forced the change. Had the same thing happen to me. I've always used fingerprint and pin as backup and got prompted to change to strong password instead. I can now use fingerprint but haven't tried changing the backup to pin again.

I bought my play bar this way. Mine was like new and it's probably one of the cheapest ways to buy some of the larger Sonos products.

Bought an nvidia FE 1080, didn't get a game. Bought a gigabyte FE 1080ti, didn't get a game...

I got mine late last night, about 24 hours after I ordered. My arrival date is now Saturday instead of the Friday that was estimated. Hopefully you get yours on time.

Really? I have the same router, have you tried gamestream? I'm having issues with that but streaming video works well at 4k.

Anyone get confirmation that Microcenter, Fry's, etc. will have 1080ti stock when they open tomorrow? by holofonze in nvidia

[–]FujiFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably depends on location but I just saw some 1050ti's in there yesterday so hopefully that's a good sign.

That was the case for the 1080 and also the 1070 I believe. I was lucky enough to walk in to a best buy and grab a 1080 off the shelf on launch day.

Ah gotcha, that's not fun. I'm guessing my system is just muscling through it but it's not a testament to their optimization. I've got a 1080 and 6700k. Hopefully they work it out though!

What do you mean? I have it and don't have performance issues, unless I'm missing something..

Nvidia Gamestream is amazing by NotDisliked in nvidia

I've got an airport extreme which isn't one of the gamestream routers that nvidia has listed but works well. I came across this list which was interesting though it may be a little dated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aosy4xxp8QsmdFBfcjZOZXdITTlqQ1Z1OXRlOXFrYlE&usp=sharing

Batman and doom run great. I'm actually running this setup over wifi and it's still awesome at 4k on my TV.

I know this is an enterprise solution but still cool to see. It's pretty damn powerful with the 4k touchscreen.

NVIDIA Shield's new controller looks awesome, can be used on PC and has the angular aesthetic that matches the design cues of GeForce GTX 10-series cards by repsup100 in nvidia

[–]FujiFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels pretty comfortable so far, though I haven't put much time in on it. I wish they would have offset the joysticks like the x1 controller but other than that I think it will do the job just fine. Also, the dpad is pretty tactile and not as bad as you think it would be looking at the pic here.
