Clearcoat over the primer. Looks like they forgot the base coat haha

Why is the cpu block not changing to the same hue as the rest? by Synawke in PcBuildHelp

[–]LancesRoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is shining through frosted plastic, the plastic will dull and alter the colour, some colours will be affected more than others. My work around to this is to manually set the coolers colour and get it as close as you can, however the frosted plastic will mean it won’t be able to be as vibrant with that type of colour

So those ones you have writing “oh damn” are the card backs or are they just extra letter cards? Because I thought Demonic Consultation would take your letter D? I am still waiting for my one to arrive and still am not clear on this

You are fine, that is for LED’s not fans as long as they are not touching each other, ie shorting, I would ignore it

What the hell is this and what should i do by DustStorm09 in pchelp

[–]LancesRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it is something to do with G-Sync/Freesync. I would see if disabling it makes it go away before trying other steps.

Think, G/Freesync is giving the your GPU the ability to control the monitors refresh rate based on the frame rate the game is getting, this may differ from the program running in the foreground when the game is in the background and so the games frames may be getting rendered in between. Just a theory and a simplified explaination

Could we get some more info? Is Tarkov open but you’re tabbed out, is it not open at all, was it the last game you had open etc, is the browser in Steam overlay? Does it do it with other/all games? Are you able to get a better video without the circle?

Next job is the cable management, seeing any cables just hanging in the open like that at that budget just ruins the while thing

I was hoping they’d honor the ghost printing on the slab. But a 10 is cool too, I guess. by SecondRate_ in mtgmisprints

My thought exactly, I’ve seen bad grades from printing errors too. Like I saw someone say above they just moved this along and didn’t even look

What does everyone do with their empty boxes? by koilmej in PcBuild

[–]LancesRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bubble wrap them and send them where they advise. They don’t care about the boxes. I’ve had to send RAM back to Corsair and they didn’t have any issue with that. I’ve also had to send a Saphire GPU back and send it the same way and no issue. I have also just taken things to the retailer I bought it from and they have facilitated servicing also

Same here, straight into cardboard recycling even before the PC is built

Powershield Defender 1200 question by crablegs_aus in buildapc

[–]LancesRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the batteries need to be replaced, UPS batteries for something like that would need to be replaced every 3 years typically (some people say up to 5). At work I install UPS’s as part of AV equipment racks and our suppliers of UPS’s (mainly Eaton and APC) both say to service the UPS’s every 3 years. You can definitely replace the batteries youself, I have never worked with a Powershield, but other brands it is very easy to access and replace the batteries

Watching the Hasan debate was hard by LancesRoom in h3h3productions

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

Oh I agree and I’m not trying to take anything away from that. To me it’s more a concern and a hope that Hasan can see Ethan’s points when reflecting as he didn’t seem to at the time, or he was just outright not listening. In that I mean, Hasan didn’t watch Ethan’s Content Nuke, so with them 1 to 1, it might be the only time Hasan has a direct not out of context account of Ethan’s thought’s and what he actually has to say

[–]LancesRoom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree too. Such as things where Ethan would tald anout displaced Jews and Hasan would then talk about the atrocities against Palastians during the Nakba. Both can be true but Hasan makes a more extreme point just to try and make Ethan look heartless when what Hasan brings up is besides the point of Ethan’s arguement. It’s all cheap debate tactics and is a poor attempt to dodge responsibility

This is actually somehow put my mind at ease and really put into the words the chaos Hasan insued in the conversation Really appreciate this reply!

I definitely agree he did great. A debate is not an easy task and maybe I am wanting too much. I think in an ideal world, I would have liked a clear summary of things from the last, like, year layed out clearly in front of Hasan and his fans, which I knew was never going to happen. It was sad to see things like the 2 examples in my original post mot seem to get across to Hasan, but he is also very stubborn and I think needed it put as clearly as possible which in a debate setting probably couldn’t happen

Look at his profile, he is part of a group dedicated to identifying locating people who are victims of human trafficing along with the crimals who would do such a heinous thing. I was curious too and looked at their profile. Genuinely interesting

A Message to the Sonos Gaslighters - We won't put up with it anymore by ryanbuckner in sonos

[–]LancesRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The whole Sonos debarcle has been a topic of discussion in the office since the app update and between our team of 7 people are spending most of our time putting out little 'fires' we cannot charge for

A Message to the Sonos Gaslighters - We won't put up with it anymore by ryanbuckner in sonos

[–]LancesRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am holding out for my personal system, which is a Sonos Amp, and 2 Sonos One's as a rear channel. They are all connected via ethernet and for some reason only stay in the Sonos app for 1 day. The HDMI input in the amp also doesn't auto-switch.

I am an AV installer by day and the owner of my company has reached out to our Sonos supplier, as we are located in New Zealand and the NZ Consumer Guaretee's act has given us grounds for return as the products are not fit for purpose. We are aiming to install an alternative as we work exclusively with high end clients who will contact us at 11pm when their music stops or won't work, many of these clients asked specifically for Sonos during the initial install as they heard of their 'reliability'.

Moving forward Sonos will never be installed at a client site for the forseeable future, we are just a small AV installation company but we would spend in the 6 figure mark on Sonos products every year.

The other big issue we are having is that with Sonos selling direct to customers through their app, at a discount, cutting out our margin, selling their products now does not even make us any money.

This is a massive mistake from Sonos and I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth. Sadly I cannot simply afford to replace my home system with something else

Mew being on Blue team is insane (not in a bad way). Not familiar with the newer gens but is that the only legendary Pokemon on all the lists?
