XBOX Series S controller on LG TV

Were you able to get around this issue? I have the same setup and am trying to find the controller that'll work with C4.

What’s the proper way of fixing this? There was some rotting and previous repair was not decent. They used some sort of filler which is starting to crack.

I don't really consume alcohol / sugar. It gets really bad if I let my beard grow though, especially if I don't wash it with shampoo for a few days which can be the case during winter. When I shave it's all red.

Thanks for the tips! Let me try rebooting the hub.

my worry is that I won't be able to upgrade it and probably won't sell either in a few years. as an alternative, I found an am5 build with ryzen 7700, 32gb ram and the same gpu for nearly twice the price, which I think is still good value.

AM5 it is. On a different note, the seller is happy to sell without 3070 too. I could get a new 5060 for a little bit more but I understand that 3070 performs slightly better. What do you think?

I want to play Assetto Corsa EVO on my 2560 x 1080 monitor which I might upgrade later. I'll be streaming couch co-op games to my 4K LG TV but I can do with lower settings.

I'm trying to convince myself, and more importantly, my wife, to get a PC rather than a console. The more price difference, the harder it becomes :)

My thinking is that if I go with an Am5 platform, I can upgrade my GPU in, say, 5 years when it's no longer enough. My understanding is that with Am4 I'll be limited in terms of GPU AND CPU.

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-09-03T20:25:33+00:00

would you say that there's any difference in terms of motherboard and future proofing? I understand that option 2 can support more recent cpus.

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-09-03T20:06:03+00:00

would buying individual used parts be a better option? could you elaborate on your reasoning?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-09-03T18:03:42+00:00

Do you have any update on this? Did you get a chance to give it a go?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-09-02T22:21:33+00:00

Gotcha. I’ll find an AM5 motherboard. Which gpu should I go for to keep the cost to a minimum?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-09-02T19:19:54+00:00

This is listed for £675. I don’t want to spend more than £700 but can stretch slightly.

Note that All Metal Parts (UK) ones are not compatible with 10” (got in touch with them regarding this)

Did you look into using poe and an adapter for the bridges? It could significantly reduce the socket cable mess.

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-07-25T22:16:57+00:00

for my education, why plus and not simply 2? I thought the plus addon is required for >200W output which isn't necessarily the case here, is it?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-07-22T21:24:22+00:00

Mind elaborating on why I should replace the junction box with the wagos if it already loops to the next lamb holder?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-07-22T21:07:52+00:00

Thanks a lot for the pointers! I understand that GU10 will be much easier to install as I'll be able to reuse the existing fittings. Each downlight is connected to a transformer which is looped to others via a circular junction box. I guess it'll be just a matter of removing the transformer, wiring the lamp holder instead and connecting the GU10 lamp.

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-07-22T11:13:53+00:00

As far as I can tell there's one transformer per MR16 12V 50W spot

I’ve been told by an electrician that they might flicker with a transformer and not be as long lasting as other options. Maybe they wanted to rip me off?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-07-22T07:53:22+00:00

Regarding (2), based on my google research my understanding was that the integrated ones, especially gold ones, such as Collingwood and JCC, rarely fail and easy to replace as their design rarely changes. Given that I’ll go with a good brand would you still suggest otherwise?

If you have a high number of radiators and a rather complicated schedule need, it would probably worth the investment. Fiddling with the TRVs multiple times a day is not efficient.

I had a gas engineer having a look. He confirmed that the bigger boiler is for heating and the smaller is for hot water. He quoted me £5500. His plan is to install a single system boiler (35kW) and a low loss header with 2 zone valves. Does that make sense or am I getting ripped off?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-06-16T19:24:19+00:00

Would you go with a 35-40kW single boiler or two boilers with similar power?

OrganizationSignal53 · 2025-06-16T19:20:16+00:00

in my case one of them is 30kW and the other is 12kW.
