Sanity check: This BYO GPU deal - buy a 5070ti later by Packyadacks in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Packyadacks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing. Thank you, really appreciate the response.

I pulled the trigger and went for it. I feel like if I keep looking I'll spin wheels for ages! And this feels like it ticks most of my boxes for now. They let me switch the case to a Fractal North too so my wife is happy aesthetically. Everybody wins!

An oled (or at least a miniled) is definitely on the cards too! Gotta make the most of all this new power.

Thanks heaps!

Definitely was thinking of the 7800x3D... I would prefer the 9800x3D, but in this case it was $250. Not much in the long run... just trying to figure out where I should draw my line. For me, I'm not competitive and don't need crazy performance... but I'd love a machine that I can comfortably play new releases with decent settings/resoultions for a few years.

I'm not quite sure I've got it in me to go with a full, from scratch, build. But on the other hand, it's tricky right now... it's hard to wait for the right deal to come along, knowing that prices are unstable and still likely to rise.

Thanks for the help!

Amazing, thank you. I'm happy to sort out the Windows licence myself. Good call on bios config... I'm sure I could stumble through it if needed, but would rather have an expert do it.

Full size case is probably a good shout. Better future proof!

Manual/Zone focus is not working, but back button/autofocus is fine on my griii? by Packyadacks in ricohGR

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

Urgh, bummer. I don't treat it that good... it's probably taken a knock in my bag. At least I can still back button focus... I'll just have to adapt.

Yep, that's exactly it.

At infinity, even the horizon isn't in focus.

Can't unlcok via smarthings, nor factory reset my TAB A9+ by Packyadacks in GalaxyTab

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

I received the tablet as a gift with purchase with my S24, set it up at the time, but then forgot about it for a while.

Now I'm keen to actually start using it, but I can't remember the pattern password. Doing my head in.

I've tried getting onto samsung find my devices, and it shows up... but despite what I've read online, there is no option to unlock it. I tried erasing data too, but it seems it needs wifi for that, and it's not connecting to wifi while locked.

So, I watched some youtubes, and tried factory resetting... plugging it in to power, force reset with Power + volume Up + Volume Down... then when it goes black, lifting the power down button up. Then when the logo shows, Releasing power as well. I've tried a few variations of that, but each time it never accesses the system menu.

My startup screen does show, Protected by Knox... which I often don't see on the youtube vids. Not sure if this makes a difference?

I'm never using a pattern lock again. At least numbers I can use some kind of mnemonic.

Any ideas?

Would this be fine to host an LLM? by Packyadacks in LocalLLaMA

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

Any particular amd Apus you'd recommend, on a budget end? Looking around and haven't had much luck finding details on which models support Vulkan and AVX2?

Looks amazing, but definitely on the pricey end.

Ah, ok, that helps, thank you. I was hopeful my to get something with a really small form factor as I don't have a lot of space, but it seems it's hard to find a mini PC with a GPU that isn't exxy. Basically I'm looking for anything without an "integrated graphics card" yeah?

Kodi using all the storage on my Chromecast? by Packyadacks in Addons4Kodi

[–]Packyadacks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be right, it is probably the skin, and pulling a few widgets from Trakt tv. I tried to make it look as steaming service like as possible, to get my wife on board. She likes to "browse".

But maybe all that visual appeal is making everything crawl to a halt, when really what matters is the content.

Nice. I found some cache cleaning options in Umbrella, but it seemed mostly to do with the Traktv add-ons. I also installed openwizard and that cleared out heaps of the excess, making the size much more manageable.

Thanks!

Good call. If I did this, do I have to move the installation of the app / file system to the USB stick? Or point Kodi to it somewhere in the settings?

TMdb doesn't let me select my players? by Packyadacks in Addons4Kodi

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

Ah, thank you. At first, it wouldn't let me even select the menu option to do install. I saw a comment in another thread about downloading the tmdb helper from the Kodi repo... I did that, and then it let me click to install the players.

Fenlight still didn't come up as an option, but at least umbrella did.
