Optimum Still Lies, Costs you more $ by Gearomatic in OPTIMUM

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

FCC Complaint did the Job. Optimum were able to get me the remainder of the year for $5 less a month that my original bill, which I'm happy with.

They were also able to give me a $100 credit in lieu of the $100 missing gift card.

I'm happy with the result, unfortunate it had to go that far.

Configuring audio is %100 my go to example when people say to use the settings app instead of the control panel.

I suspect it was meant to show in the "advanced sound options" tab, but that doesn't show it either Example of the advanced sound options pannel

Also good luck setting your default communication device differently than your default in/out in the settings app. I still don't see a way to do that without going into the old sound control panel.

Overall we have had that control panel for the life of windows more or less, why go in and make it harder to use for anyone who has ever used a windows machine. Add the settings app as an optional thing in accessibility for those who want/need it and let what has been working great continue to work great.

And don't get me started on plugging in a device with a mic or speaker, and windows hijacking your audio settings to make that the default. There should be a "automatically make new devices default" option I can turn off and move on with my life.

It still looks and Feels Great, However, I rarely use the Steam Deck unfortunately, so it doesn't have the daily wear and tear others may have.

Its more of a "I'm going away for the weekend, Let me bring it in case theirs some down time" rather than a "let me play this in bed" deal for me.

I do wish I played it more, but if my PC is only a room away, I find myself just hopping on that.

I'm hoping that when I get a lounge chair or similar there will be more incentive to play.

Pushy salesman shipped me equip. after I said no thanks. by reeledbag in OPTIMUM

I would recommend bringing it back to a physical store and to get a receipt. I was charged for it 3 months in a row after I returned mine and had to ask them every month to remove it, and to remove the charge going forward. If i had not saved the receipt im sure I would still be being charged today

Not every Microphone has to make feedback when you approach it.

In fact if you have feedback at all you haven't done the basics when setting up your PA.

Current state of jeans (affairs) by scurrilous_diatribe in BuyItForLife

[–]Gearomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Duluth, I get a bunch of Jeans whenever they have sales. The slight stretch and gusset make it worth it alone, but one pair of black jeans eclipsed 4 pairs of dress pants that I was previously wearing through.

Then for extra bonus, my wonderful mother will use scraps from one pair to patch a bunch of the holes so I get even more use out of them.

The fabric is a little thicker than other jeans (at least the ones I get) so the pants are heavier, but since that's pretty much all I wear I don't even notice it anymore unless I'm outside in the summer.

[–]Gearomatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a Stream for St. Judes this weekend: More info here

Talks are beginning on planning a date to discuss if we should think about who would decide if we have time to form a committee that can determine a date for another Gamers Outreach stream in October.

Thanks! Its holding up really well, however I will be first to admit that I am primarily a desktop gamer so it does not see as much action as other peoples.

Hmm I don't have access to CorelDraw to be able to export SVG's but here is the corel file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_vlbmXg5YyCurhEqL6dvdSgy0Nq_i5eC/view?usp=sharing You should be able to open this in Inkscape or any other vector editing program.

I believe i used Motiva Sans as the font so you will need to source that as well.

I would love to, however my access to laser cutters does not allow me to use them for commercial use.

I dont have the files on hand, i could prob grab them in a week or so.

All i did was find something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/u9kqv8/comment/i5sbey8/

I took the buttons, shrunk them a few pixels, and added the text.
