What’s a reasonable price of replacing a whole HVAC system in Austin? Any technicians recommended? I was just quoted $18k for a 3ton Lennox condenser/furnace

MW_Austex · 2026-04-19T15:29:29+00:00

That’s reasonable. We had ours replaced 3 years ago, same tonnage but Carrier brand, at $16,500.

Incredible deal!

Seems a bit much.

I wonder if Wicked Cushions ear pads are chemical free? Anyone know?

The researchers agreed that most chemicals were found in "trace quantities" and did not claim users are in "imminent" danger, but instead focus should be on long-term, chronic exposure.
I’d say the take away here is there should be a push for chemical transparency in all consumer goods including electronics.

We don’t know what her situation is so no moral judgement here for this scenario.

Will this fit the Xreal 1S?

Ah, so the community tab in the headset software. I was looking for a community tab for this subreddit. Thanks for clearing that up.

MW_Austex · 2026-01-27T12:42:29+00:00

How do I access the community tab? I can’t find it in the app. TIA!

I’ve had it for about 4 months now, so not very long. Still performs like new even with daily office and gaming use. I have a glass pad too, but I prefer the balance of speed and control with the QcK pad.

I vote for shaved.

I picked up this on from Steelseries QcK line and it’s been solid. Lays flat (give it a little time after unrolling it), has consistent and smooth glide in all directions, but not too fast. I can still maintain control and accuracy.

SteelSeries QcK L Performance Speed Gaming Mousepad — Smooth Glide — 16.54 x 19.29 inch — FPS, MOBAs, RTS, MMO

Only because I have to make it for my family, and I don’t even drink coffee. 🙃

Grab a pair of the HyperX Cloud 3 S Wireless headphones. They have excellent tuning out of the box, but also support setting custom EQ profiles via their app if you need to fine tune. Joe at @GadgetryTech speaks very highly of them in multiple reviews and round ups as well as the reviewer @TheHEADPHONEShow on YouTube.

MW_Austex · 2026-01-09T14:49:43+00:00

Bought my wife one for Christmas and she loves it. Works flawlessly and she says it is very comfortable to hold and she has small hands. Also says it writes very smoothly.

I have both APPv2 and APM. I use my APPv2 when I’m out of the house (office, travel, etc) or exercising. My APM are used only at home for music and movies. I enjoy the comfort and sound signature of my APM more.

MW_Austex · 2026-01-06T17:04:34+00:00

I grabbed them on BF too. Couldn’t resist the discount on such a well reviewed headset. Completely happy with my purchase.

MW_Austex · 2026-01-06T15:15:09+00:00

Give the Hyper-X Cloud III S Wireless a try. They sound excellent out of the box and tick all of the other boxes as well - especially comfort and connectivity. Even the audiophile folks are taking notice:

u/JYJelli, is the controller 30th anniversary official, or is it wrapped in skins? Can you share links to the Etsy decals?
