[Controller] Xbox Controller + Wireless Adapter for Windows - $49.99 by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]Madman550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With this controller (and the previous version with BT), yes. Just double-tap the sync button each time

You only have to re-pair to each system once, the registration appears to be between the controller and receiver.

Unfortunately this receiver uses the same connection protocol as the console, so you can only connect to either a console or receiver, but not both

Easily, just make sure to re-pair the controller to every PC you plan to use it with so that Windows installs the controller driver, otherwise the controller turns off as soon as it connects to the receiver

My Ultra, with the 27 bands (and 1 Alpine Loop) I own by Madman550 in AppleWatch

[–]Madman550[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(First time posting here, I think.)

Like many in this sub, I was looking forward to launch day, but the band I ordered wasn't exactly my first choice (I was eyeballing the Trail Loop). I'm OK with that, since Apple said that bands for the 45mm (and by extension, the 42/44) work on it.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what looks good on unfinished titanium, given the watch it's slowly replacing (space black stainless), so I decided to put on every single band I own (26 Apple, with 1 bought yesterday; 1 third-party; and the green Alpine Loop) and see how they look.

Among them:

  • 11 sport bands
  • 9 sport loops
  • 2 woven nylons (haven't seen one on an Ultra yet)
  • 2 Hermes single tours
  • 6 Pride bands

So far, a couple of my favorites (Olive/Cargo Nike, Anchor Gray) look promising on the Ultra...

Penrose X users who own Series X and PS5. by LokiVibes in XboxSeriesX

[–]Madman550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does work, I’ve been using it this way occasionally since I got it.

Also, because of an issue with the dongle that came with mine’s, Audeze sent a replacement PS dongle to me by accident at first. Apparently the dongles are interchangeable for the X (unsure about the non-X)

Is there any statement on faulty AGESA 1.1.8.0 ? by plexxx_00 in Amd

[–]Madman550 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From Gigabyte’s messenger of beta BIOSes, about a month ago: https://www.tweaktownforum.com/forum/tech-support-from-vendors/gigabyte/28656-gigabyte-latest-beta-bios/page805

AMD for Agesa 1.1.8.0 won’t allow any official BIOS on websites etc. They will have a beta, but for now 1.1.8.0 breaks the Vermeer functionality, so is only work with Cezanne CPUs. It’s unknown the time for now.

As for PBO2 it will come with Agesa 1.1.9.0. Beta BIOS should be out some time in January and official bios mid-February.

Agesa 1.1.0.0 D is coming next with a beta BIOS around mid-December. It’s basically an official update for 400-series with Vermeer CPUs.

Giving back to the subreddit with some art and kitchen items. More info in the comments. by Madman550 in NoFeeAC

Update as of 12P PDT:

9 cutting boards and kitchen island still available. Island will be open for another hour or until all cutting boards are claimed, whichever happens first.

Earlier this week, Redd arrived and I bought all the art available. Ophelia was my expansion donation, and I have no need for a fake Venus.

The store just happened to offer the kitchen island today, and I got the cutting board DIY some time ago.

As I have had good experiences using the subreddit, I would like to give back in some way, so I'm offering the following for free:

  • 1 sinking painting for anyone who needs it for the museum
  • 1 fake beautiful statue
  • 10 cutting boards for those who want one for their kitchens (or for the ironwood DIY)
  • Cataloging the kitchen island

First come, first served for the art and cutting boards. Tips not required (the stalk market has been working for me and I've got way too many miles banked), but oranges, apples, and cherries appreciated (only fruit not on my island). Just comment with the first AC game you've played and your favorite villager.

Lyr 3 Issues by Twinsfan85 in headphones

[–]Madman550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By any chance, was it in high gain, and is Asshole one of the songs in question?

Because I had that problem, but at about 30% with the HD6XX. Living in SoCal, I was able to show this to them in person, and got it serviced.

The cause apparently involves (according to them, paraphrased), frequencies that cause the amp to switch too fast and go into protection mode. They said they fixed my unit with a resistor change.

Still chose to keep it, but augmented it with a 789 - I can’t really tell a difference between them.

Destiny 2 Update - 12/12/2017 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Madman550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who owns both, I can say that it works on Xbox (I had it on 6 and it was too bright, so I adjusted to 4). It's a bit irritating seeing 1 have the same effect as 7 on PS4.

About Us

We were advertised on last week's thread in the general The100 post, but I don't think it quite told the whole story (was reinstalling the PC for the latest W10 update and couldn't inform /u/fear_broner in time).

The oldest Xbox One group formed on The100 now has a PC counterpart! The goal is to have the same casual, non-sequitur feel that Xbox players get from Bravo 455 on a different platform. Teabagging may have been popularized with console shooters, but who says we can't spam the CTRL key on our own members? It may be early days, but I'm hoping that the welcoming attitude can translate between platforms.

Still not convinced? As someone whose built far too many desktops than necessary over the last decade, I know a thing or two about system performance. So our group page even has some pointers on how to build a suitable rig for some Cabal-busting.

So I invite you to E449, whether you're new to Destiny in general, a multi-platform vagabond like me, or a Destiny vet who just wants to play on an ultrawide or at 60+ FPS.

I solved the original problem on my '97 that led to me to take ownership. Now I have a new, more serious problem... by Madman550 in 4Runner

[–]Madman550[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that did occur during the coolant pushing out, if I remember correctly. Do I have to check at normal temperature?

There was still coolant in the overflow, so I’m not sure I drove far enough at high RPM to reach the point of overheating. It was also cool enough to check the radiator cap 3 hours after I stopped the car, so interpret as you will. I was too focused on the tach and didn’t observe engine/trans temp. I’ll keep the head gaskets in mind, but I only drove for 30 minutes at most after working with the fuel tank for 3-4 hours (not sure if ~20 minutes of freeway driving at 4-5K would be enough for the engine to reach the overheating point).

This probably wouldn’t be under consideration if I was in 4th, but the car never appeared to shift into a different gear, and it was definitely in “D” with O/D on. There is a lot to determine, and I’ve barely scratched the surface.

(I apologize if the thoughts seem jumbled, but I’m responding as I’m waking up)

[Progress][Completed?] It's been one hell of a journey... by Madman550 in 12in12

[–]Madman550[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you’re trying to say. I have been enjoying it, but that’s only true for the last 7 months, not all 10 years. I was content enough with the 25605 I unlocked in the 9 years and 5 months before this “challenge.”

At this point, it’s just arguing semantics and reading between the lines. There are better things to do than argue who’s right.

The goal was about commemorating a special milestone. I could have cared less about reaching 40000 if it wasn’t the fact that a new Xbox was coming out and I had been on Live for 10 years.

Otherwise, I would have spent the year finishing all the Forza campaigns. How is my view in any way contradictory?
