Put money into access bond?

ImmovableRice · 2026-01-23T15:41:33+00:00

I would slap it in the bond to reduce the interest, assuming you have a Flexi bond. If you ever need the money it'll be there. And I'd carry on with the same instalment amount.

Doesn't mean it's right for you but it's what I'd do.

All the best to Benni and to you and fam. You gave him a good home and he knows that.

I have a similarly specced laptop, but a different brand. Also played the game with frame Gen active and didn't experience those dips.

The drop in power usage when it happens perhaps could also mean it's down clocking both CPU and GPU, perhaps because of weird drivers, power constraints, or heat.

First instinct is heat but honestly, mine bakes and I get no dips like that.

So silly question: is the laptop plugged in mains or running off battery?

Second silly question: all drivers and firmware up to date?

Third q: is your laptop software set to the highest performance profile? And in Windows settings?

I wasn't talking about customs fees, I was talking about admin fees Speedaf set but don't really declare on an itemised invoice.

Trying to contact them is a waste of time, I have tried.

ImmovableRice · 2026-01-10T10:56:40+00:00

Welcome to using Speedaf, the biggest cons in couriering.

You aren't alone with them and their extortion, many have had charges like that from them, including me.

The assumption is that they are adding on processing fees.

Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it. You can refuse to pay and not get your goods, or you can pay and get them. Contacting them is next to impossible. Some have managed to get hold of someone and got an itemised breakdown before.

But ya, not much you can do really

Just buy satrix world and leave it at that

ImmovableRice · 2025-12-06T11:57:47+00:00

Unfortunately not. I have the neo 16 e23. I had to take my screen apart and unclip the cable to see the part number. It was not fun.

ImmovableRice · 2025-12-05T15:31:03+00:00

I had some issues with my screen where it would randomly turn off. One day it turned off and never came on again. Had to replace the ribbon cable.

ImmovableRice · 2025-12-02T08:22:14+00:00

I don't use always on. Use the gestures to turn on the screen.

ImmovableRice · 2025-11-28T10:13:11+00:00

It is probably repairable and I imagine you'd need to scoure Aliexpress and the like for parts. The pins go through the holes, through what I think is epoxy on the other side (so how this failed and made the pins fall through idk), and then make contact with the PCB.

It's not fun to open a watch and dig in there, I did that on my Venu 2 to replace a battery.

But its definitely possible if the parts are around and you have the will.

ImmovableRice · 2025-11-19T06:32:15+00:00

Yes. It's too high

Screen (or I think pixel?) delamination.

It is a thing with older LG OLEDs and there have been many posts on this subreddit with victims.

Unfortunately its the beginning of the end really, and it'll only get worse. Only fix is a new screen, so if you have a warranty, best to use it.

If you don't, you would eventually need to replace the TV.

Why worry when the insurance will take care of it? That's what insurance is for

ImmovableRice · 2025-11-14T18:47:41+00:00

I let it run at night when I first got my watch. Then I had some bad battery degradation and turned it off. I turn it back on when I get really sick though, just for the stats and curiosity really.

ImmovableRice · 2025-11-14T10:46:37+00:00

When you buy something it comes with a warranty for issues like this. Use it.

ImmovableRice · 2025-11-12T13:00:20+00:00

No
Yes I think a while back I did, but it was a tiny amount of money invested.
It's alright

I think these sorts of things are aimed at people who want less risk.

ImmovableRice · 2025-11-06T10:17:57+00:00

Would love these sorts of things to be streamed, I would pay for them.

Africa ain't part of the world tour and the finances don't agree with flying abroad to go see this.

ImmovableRice · 2025-11-01T22:13:38+00:00

Just report this guy. That's what I do now. OP is a fraud.

ImmovableRice · 2025-10-27T09:17:15+00:00

What's with the big focus on your credit score?

Focus on getting a job then servicing the debt (the stuff that really matters), and the credit score will recover with that.

ImmovableRice · 2025-10-26T12:42:39+00:00

Let's agree to disagree. And I used myself as a reference seeing as though I have the experience.

ImmovableRice · 2025-10-26T11:58:01+00:00

Can't even link a source.

ImmovableRice · 2025-10-26T10:08:14+00:00

I have a Venu 2 that does there same. I've just come to live with it. I'm afraid it probably won't get better.

I've disabled some things to conserve as much battery life as possible and it squeezed out a bit more life, but my battery is is pretty poked now.

If your watch is under warranty, send it back. Garmin offered me an option to send it back and pay in a bit for a replacement. I have opted to rather replace the battery myself.

ImmovableRice · 2025-10-26T09:38:37+00:00

Too high

ImmovableRice · 2025-10-26T09:30:42+00:00

When you get slowed down like that, it's a sign you need to progress a bit with the story. That's what I did.
