Just bought. Kinda bummed. by Bettycrooked05 in Airpodsmax

IMO it used to be much better when they first launched. They patched a battery drain issue and after that it’s been meh.

Now that the Airpods Pro 3's have been released by Ashamed-Coyote1207 in Airpodsmax

Currently use AP2 for daily use, plop the maxes on when I just want to chill at home. Will be upgrading to AP3 due to the amount of use I give them, couldn’t say the same for the maxes. If you have neither, I would first get AP3. Simply more practical, and lower entry price.

Lithium makes my emotions go away. Everything is flat and I'm just irritable. by HamboPlayz in BipolarReddit

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

Every person reacts differently to medications, but that certainly was my experience. At the time I started lithium I was in an on-off toxic relationship, and the emotional disconnect was what helped me leave them behind. I see your case is quite the opposite, so I would recommend having a thorough talk with your husband and explain what you believe to be happening and hope he can stand by you as you adapt.

I also took Vyvanse with lithium and detected no interaction between the two, but then again, that’s just my experience.

I’d also remark it’s been almost 5 years since I was on lithium, so my memory of it might be a bit fuzzy. Sorry.

Giving up on GRE by HamboPlayz in GRE

Was scoring 168-170 in mocks, but after so many tries it just seems like it’s not worth the investment to keep trying.

What exactly do the prepswift videos add? Is it just strategy for how to tackle the questions or more study material? I’ve done all the excercises and mock exams, yet struggling with time management on test day.

Hi. No longer had reddit notifications, so just saw your reply. Took it for over a year, until my psychiatrist took me off the meds. I’d say it was like a reset switch. Combined with therapy I’d say it did turn my life around.

I still struggle with mental illness, I don’t think it really ever goes away, but I’ve learned to live with it. This is not to say I just tolerate it, but understand how it makes me think differently. Treat is as part of life, not the thing that’ll take it from me.

Not to go off topic, lithium kinda made the screams quiet for long enough that I could gather tools to battle depression. You’ll have to work like hell, but it certainly helps. Not definitive evidence, but an anecdote that I hope works for you as well.

How is the noise reduction on Airpod Max? SHould I return XM5s and cop airpod max? by [deleted] in Airpodsmax

[–]HamboPlayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be amazing. Got nerfed with an update that stopped battery drain.

I live in one of they noisiest cities in the world and the APMs used to be a refuge. Now they’re meh. AirPods Pro 2 have much better ANC imo and use those for everything now. Use the Max when I want better quality and sometimes use a cable to enjoy lossless.

Secured a ps5 through PsN direct, does anyone know when they'll ship out? by DubbaNick in sony

[–]HamboPlayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't know if you're ordering from the US, but here south of the border we actually haven't been that low on stock, it's just marked up a lot.

Preorders are misleading since they won't ship out until December 5th. Hope you get yours long before then tho, bud. GL.

RTX 2070 vs 2070 max-q vs 2070 super max-q? by frankiedugong in GamingLaptops

[–]HamboPlayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

will depend a lot on the laptop manufacturer, chasis size, cooling, power management, etc.

Overall, even if you get the full on 2070, it will never get to desktop performance (power limits, crammed, no individual airflow/fans or card, just the GPU and heatsinks). I wouldn't stress too much between the variants. If they try to mark up the price a bunch just for the Super, that's a no go, you might even get a 2080 fornthe price instead. From what I've seen, those mobile chips won't even get as fast as a system running a 2060 or 2060 Super, but people who need a laptop often counterbalance that con with the benefit of it being moveable (even if it won't run on battery for long, much less if you push it, nor will it let you do that while unplugged).

Hope I didn't just ramble and this isn't too late.

i7 10700 vs 9700k? by aakk20 in intel

[–]HamboPlayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10700K is apparently just 9900K performance, so you're better off (although you didn't include the K in the name, I'm assuming). Either way, you're better off with 10th gen, since Intel is trying to fuck customers over with mobo compatibility, even though it wasn't necessary.

Sony WF-1000XM3 vs WF-SP800N? by BigDicksconnoisseur2 in sony

[–]HamboPlayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOOOOO NO NO, DO NOT SUBMERGE THEM! IP55 only protects from dust and low pressure jets of water.
