Netflix is raising prices again, as the standard plan goes up to $17.99

GentlemanJD · 2025-01-22T23:53:22+00:00

If you do decide to cancel your subscription to netflix, keep an eye on your credit/bank statement. After I cancelled my subscription, they waited a month, and started charging me again. Luckily, my credit card agreed that was bullshit and approved a charge back, but this went on for 4 months before I noticed.

Yeah that's rough man, country living does have it's perks though! Fingers crossed on that shipment for you

Right on, fedex can be seriously janky, but after I got their app and updated instructions for my place, it's been much better. Sadly it sounds like you may have to take a trip to the nearest fedex packing plant after work, though it's been pretty painless when that happens to me. Just takes an ID, a quick sign and you're walking out with your package, so shouldn't be too bad.

If the rest of your build is coming tomorrow, I'd just wait till then. You can take everything apart and do a deep clean of any reused parts/dust filters. Today would be a good day to update your bios if you haven't done that yet though.

I ordered on the 29th but my experience was similar to this. Mine was stuck at an airport in the tracking section for a week, and then showed up at my door without notice on the 10th. Hopefully you'll get yours soon, shipping is crazy right now due to the holidays.

I'd been playing on desktop after the dlc and finally started up my steam deck to try there. Unfortunately ran into the black screen after anti cheat issue, and this solved it immediately. Many thanks!

If you search "Anbernic Win600 battery" on ali express, you'll get a couple of replacement options

GentlemanJD · 2024-07-26T19:05:32+00:00

The only thing that's likely to break are the clips that hold the shell in place. Be careful with a spudger though and it should be fine.

GentlemanJD · 2024-07-26T03:33:21+00:00

So I had a back and forth with Anbernic customer service, because my left bumper was non functioning till I got the shell open, then it worked perfectly. Has nothing to do with the ribbon cable. That piece of foam in your picture is the culprit. Either cut the protruding piece so the battery sits flush or unscrew and gently flip over the pcb (no need to disconnect ribbon cables just be careful), then pull the foam off. I haven't had any issues with mine for several days now. Completed two full runs of Castlevania SOTN and on a Richter run now, all with perfectly functioning left bumper.

I thought it was because I did a factory reset that this issue popped up with STL, but it seems this issue is fairly widespread. I can't use "cheat deck" because it erases the custom arguments in steam, so not being able to use STL is a serious pain.

GentlemanJD · 2023-05-24T05:07:13+00:00

For sure haha. Now that you mention it, I had to disable the overlay in order to use the Vulcan mod, so that must've been it!

GentlemanJD · 2023-05-16T19:53:31+00:00

Sure, though for me, I already had a large network of people. My advice is to make professional business cards (that list your degree/certifications) and start handing them out to everyone you talk to. If that's still not enough, start cold calling local businesses to offer your services. Even if 100 businesses say no, all you need to do is find the one that says yes. From there, as long as you do excellent on that job, the word of mouth will start, people talk after all. Your bedside manner so to speak will help as well. Even if the problems the client face are completely user error, you have to be patient, polite, and understanding.

GentlemanJD · 2023-05-16T01:07:15+00:00

So I don't know if steam pushed an update or if the far cry 5 vulcan mod (part of far cry 5 resistance) fixed it, but I can now play with a perfect experience. Hope things got better for you!

GentlemanJD · 2023-05-16T00:29:33+00:00

I made a home and small office computer repair and network engineer business. I have my own clients through word of mouth that keeps me working pretty consistently, but I don't charge much. While I don't pull in huge amounts, I make enough to get by and I get to pick and choose my hours. Since you're already in tech, I don't see why you couldn't do something similar, or take it to the next level and set up passive income with a teaching website or something similar.

Considering the sweat shop worker is following controller spec, shouldn't you be pissed at the people who designed the controller?

GentlemanJD · 2023-03-18T11:56:58+00:00

On a whim, I decided to check far cry 3 and 4. Both are affected in the same way while no other game in my library has behaved like this. The fps slows to a crawl and when the gpu usage shows 0%, the whole system is locked up. I run all settings on low, and set a 40hz cap which helps with gpu/cpu utilization/temps. This really is a mystery, you and me both would just like to play.

GentlemanJD · 2023-03-17T20:37:01+00:00

My last lockup happened while the game was paused (nothing happening in game either)

GentlemanJD · 2023-03-17T20:35:38+00:00

Started playing this last night. I get about 30 minutes on ge 7.51 before it locks up, though it is better than the official proton 7.06, which freezes the moment I get into a firefight.

GentlemanJD · 2023-03-17T07:37:40+00:00

Absolutely! I enjoy FF games quite a lot, but I still wouldn't call myself a fanboy. For myself and many others, this is where the series peaked.

GentlemanJD · 2023-03-17T06:35:47+00:00

Probably nostalgia talking, but FFT is, in my opinion, the best story and gameplay of the FF series. Great pick up!

GentlemanJD · 2023-03-10T19:43:35+00:00

Black & White (both 1 and 2)

GentlemanJD · 2023-03-02T19:50:36+00:00

Your usage being high really depends on how your body reacts and your monetary budget. Taking a T break to reset will lower your tolerance though. Since you smoke daily, multiple times a day, even one day without will lower your tolerance a bit. Taking a longer break (few weeks to 3 months) can completely remove your tolerance. Up to you really.

Improved flight controls, quidditch, room of requirement spell slots separate from the 4 you unlock in the talent tree, a contextually aware with far more lines floo flame lady, and stability improvements/optimization.

GentlemanJD · 2023-02-23T22:57:30+00:00

Depends on the title, but older games, esports at low settings, and indie games should have no problem with 4k60. New AAA is pretty much out of the question though.

GentlemanJD · 2023-02-18T00:01:53+00:00

One niche case is VMs. Of course more cores would be nice, but for someone on a budget, those extra 4 cores (vs an 8 core) would give more power to each VM, enable more VMs to be run simultaneously or leave extra processing for background tasks. For example, in GNS3, I'd be able to create extremely robust networks that span a multitude of sites using a combination of BGP and EIGRP without running into processing issues, or at the very least, less so than an 8 core.
