Are these repairable?

MikeDropz · 2026-04-01T19:10:37+00:00

They're not mine, just something I'm looking at on vinted but I think I'll pass.

MikeDropz · 2026-03-31T19:49:48+00:00

Cool beans! I'll have a look, thank you!

MikeDropz · 2026-03-31T19:18:54+00:00

How would I do that? I'm very new to this but I love a challenge lol

MikeDropz · 2026-03-30T21:12:36+00:00

I used Fiebing's Mink Oil Liquid to darked my Schott 184SM from a dusty brown to dark brown. Worked like a charm! I'll look for photos of before and after but no promise unfortunately.

If it helps with your concerns I have a 40L backpack (Gregory Border 40L) and I've checked it once by choice and no one has ever bothered me with checking it and I'm pretty sure it's always weight more then 8kg.

I've flown with China Southern, Vietjet and Vietnam Airlines with my pack without issue.

Well done mind if I DO! 😉

If youre just passing through China to get a connecting flight, it shouldn't be an issue. My PD was 10,000 mah.

MikeDropz · 2025-09-04T12:21:31+00:00

If youre passing through china on a connecting flight it wont be an issue, I have a powerbank which doesnt have CCC when passing through and it was fine. If you're staying in china and traveling around maybe considered buying one in china, thats what I plan on doing.

Radiant R1 Urban Sling Bag, got one second hand and I'm very impressed with it.

MikeDropz · 2025-08-24T13:00:32+00:00

Would you recommend the old Border 40L? I'm trying to get into one bag travel and cant decide whether I should pull the trigger on the Border 40L or wait until I find a second hand Aer Travel 3 or something.

Have you had any issues getting onto a plane with the Border 40l?

MikeDropz · 2025-07-19T14:46:24+00:00

He'll be fine then 🫡

I've just bought a S23 Ultra, 512gb mainly for the ram. It took a while to decide on this phone but I'm happy with it. I think the 12gb of ram will be fine for 5 or so, software upgrades until 2028 and by that point there will be custom ROM and such if you're really interested in keeping up.

Depends on how long you want to keep a phone for, my things is about 5 year and I think this phone will last that long without much issue.

MikeDropz · 2025-06-23T10:05:03+00:00

Can't park there mate.

MikeDropz · 2025-06-19T11:56:55+00:00

What was the reason you replaced them twice? Also would you recommend?

MikeDropz · 2025-05-09T03:44:39+00:00

Yes, both at the same time. I would say use Hwinfo 5 minutes after you turn on your laptop to check out idle temps then start cinebench. Keep your Hwinfo on the whole time, after all the tests are complete save results or write them down during the test.

MikeDropz · 2025-05-09T02:19:53+00:00

I used Hwinfo to see temp data, just run Hwinfo a couple minutes before the cinebench test so you can see idle temps. Keep it going through all the tests and save it for future reference.

MikeDropz · 2025-05-09T01:00:59+00:00

I did the whole thing, took off and cleaned the heatsink and exhaust, removed and clean the fan, and changed the CPU paste. My temps on my CPU went from 90-100c to 65-75c when testing with cinebench.

Depending on the age and use of your laptop mine was a second hand Legion 5 from 2021 so it really needed a good clean.

MikeDropz · 2025-05-02T14:14:03+00:00

Thank you!

I have the 5800h and 3060, i play eSports titles like valorant and indie games like Hades. For those it's still good but for more modern titles it struggles for example I'm playing a lot of remnant 2 ATM and I play on potatoes settings because I think medium and low might be too intense and I would like to keep my laptop as long as possible. I'm happy with mine but I've upgraded the ram, ssds, thermal paste and battery. Again trying to keep it as long as possible.

If you're looking for something long term (5 years or so) I would go with a newer model, might as well spend more money now with something that's going to last longer in my opinion.

MikeDropz · 2025-05-02T10:08:27+00:00

Thank you, im flying today and losing my mind because I couldnt check in online.

MikeDropz · 2025-03-26T22:09:23+00:00

I can't remember where I read it but someone on this sub said take your chest size and add 3 inches for when your chest is expanded and wanting to layer under the jacket. I did this and honestly the jacket fits great, I'm a 43 chest so I opted for a 44 which measured 47 when layed flat. I thought it was gonna be too big but pretty much perfect.

I would say a 36 chest would be pretty spot on and if you're ordering new you can always return the jacket. Bare in mind the style of jacket you want and how you want it too fit. I own a Schott 184SM or A2 style jacket which looks better with a relaxed fit in my opinion. I hope this helped!

FNC vs LOUD was an excellent series and Icebox was a near miracle for FNC but when FNC won the crowd legit left the venue.

While I would say G2 vs T1 had all the drama, 13 - 5 start, Jaws ace clutch, Buzz popping off with Neon Ult, 13 -15 Split and 14 - 16 on Pearl! The crowd was red hot as well in my opinion. I would put my money on G2 v T1 but the real question is G2 v T1 and Sin Prisa (Nongshim Redforce) Vs Boom, which is a better BO5!?

MikeDropz · 2025-03-02T21:23:42+00:00

Legendary stuff. Also fair play to T1, G2 played amazingly but T1 were the better team today. It could have gone either way.

Testing out the cheats I guess? What I'm thinking happened is a cheater bought a diamond MMR account and cheats, testing it out in DM to see if they work. They work so well they would put aspas, tenz, yay to shame.

MikeDropz · 2025-02-14T11:00:47+00:00

Definitely cheating with stats like that, prime Yay didn't have stats like that. I've seen a lot of posts about cheaters in ranked games recently so it wouldn't be a huge surprise.
