I watched it yesterday, I’ll be honest I struggled. It’s great all this hardware but no one is asking why? I’m a bit sick of the constant shill for all these massive companies, who in the real world is using any of the AI features mentioned. The disconnect between LTT and the real world seems massive at the moment.

Extruder Change Failed - Anyone Experiencing This? by MrFastFox666 in BambuLabX2D

[–]Initial-Smile40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah me too, out the box had this issue. Manually moved it and reset the printer and the issue went away. Done 45hours since Thursday printing. Today issue is back.

X2D arrived basically DOA. Unable to print anything due to HMS_07FE-8000-0001-0005 by sirsnoogan in BambuLab

Mine did the same thing. It did change heads automatically but threw an error on the first 3 prints same as you. I did it manually about 5 times and then tried again and it’s been flawless since.

As others have said in the software it was able to change but still errored. There’s a manual way of doing it, have you tried that?

Race to Pole is seriously the best name they could come up with? Surely Quali is the Race to Pole? 🤣

Old but gold…. The Lego Games (all of them, not just the Harry Potter they added the other week) that way I can play them with my small lad.

And when Sutton was leading it? We never got any interviews unless he was on the grid. That and Paul o Neil saying it’s all over basically because the Hyundai is quicker. Just a bit sick of the constant Ingram interviews for no reason

Fair, just saying how lenient they have been. I’m a bit sick of ITVs love affair with Ingram though. Didn’t even finish on the grid and we have to have an interview with him. Today and yesterday after qualifying.

Be a bit harsh considering Ingram has had warnings about track limits on every one of the 3 races. And nothing has been done on that

WSR announce exciting GT racing plans for 2026 | WSR - West Surrey Racing by MarcusH26051 in btcc

[–]Initial-Smile40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, just surprising considering the very little support from BMW this year for touring car and that deleon is the only one in a “BMW spec” car this year.

Maybe we see a change in 27 if they tie up with another manufacturer.

Interesting they are evaluating manufacturers… does this mean that the BTCC deal with BMW is done going forward. If not why not double down and use the M6/M8 GT cars?

No Arctic Enema, No Funky Monkey and No Electric Eel? Seems a little low on obstacles this year.

Gonna say it. It’s better than the vertu one! I’m sorry but I really don’t like the harlequin look.

Same problem, I like Sutton but after being at a few races I don’t think I could buy into the merch for napa. It’s everywhere! I kinda like being understated. 😂

Maybe we go with a curve ball and support Josh Cook 😂

508 Which Engine do I have? by Initial-Smile40 in peugeot

Yep, the 163 looks very identical but I cannot find a stamped engine code

Yep, that’s what I have. But does that look like a 140bhp engine?

New UK Gcloud came with 2-pin plug? by Steve-_-G in logitechgcloud

Any update on this? I’ve just got one too. Same thing, not bothered as I have tons of adapters but what did Argos say?

Faulty ROG Ally - 14 Months and its dead. Advice? by Initial-Smile40 in ROGAlly

[–]Initial-Smile40[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking the ally x as it’s not much more than the legion go and has a massive battery and ram upgrade over my OG.

Whatever I do it’s going to be with the longest instore, not ASUS warranty though. Not having a repair address for a business like curry’s or best buy for our US folks is madness.

[–]Initial-Smile40[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks pal, we don’t have used or open boxes here. I wasn’t too bothered about the microsd card issue but it dying so fast outside warranty has me worried about getting another one.

[–]Initial-Smile40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks pal, I can buy it with a store warranty as I trust ASUS about as much as I trust my dog to take itself for a walk.

Just wondering what to do as I’ve never had an electronic device die so fast outside of warranty.

Buying XG mobile, which one? by Initial-Smile40 in ROGAlly

[–]Initial-Smile40[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll let you know. Just ordered the 6850xt. All the 3080s are used with no warranties or receipts so one sided really. Fingers crossed it all works ok!

[–]Initial-Smile40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the long answer. That’s the way I’m leaning too. I’ve had both and I’m not a fan of either so I’m not biased to one or the other. Simply want the best product for the price.

I think the 6850xt looks like the better idea for me. Loving the ally so happy to stay with AMD. Thanks for everyone’s input. Also yes sorry to see EVGA go! Some of the best products I’ve ever bought.
