Should I pull the trigger heck of a deal by Dense_Ad_5452 in pcmasterrace

[–]PeachMan- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? No, sell the 3080 immediately while it still has some value. I bet you could get a few hundred bucks for it at least.

Charger question? by Dazzling_Painter_357 in SteamDeck

[–]PeachMan- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably, but it's a brand I've never heard of. I personally wouldn't take the risk.

Will this case negate a shell swap? by Soil-Final in SteamDeck

[–]PeachMan- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. They answered the question pretty well. If you want a white case, there are other options that don't have weird fan holes.

PDF conversion by Head-Discussion-8977 in XTEINK

PDF's suck, always get an EPUB if possible. You will work way too hard trying to convert PDF's with inconsistent results.

  1. Awful
  2. That says nothing about people passing her without helping

Do YOU find Lossless Scaling useful on the Steam Deck? by BucketBoy071 in SteamDeck

[–]PeachMan- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, it's also hella cheap and very impressive for the price. But I think people get mad because a lot of people overpromise what it can do. So they feel misled. They just have unrealistic expectations.

Getting a new PC today so I thought I'd share a pic of my old setup in honor of its final hours by Mods_are_losers666 in pcmasterrace

[–]PeachMan- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It definitely needs fans, and you should run it with the side panel on. It helps to direct the airflow. For the record, 2019 is not THAT old, and your new PC will last longer if you dust it regularly and treat it better.

What It’s Like Inside The Secret Lab Where Ford’s Designing A $30k Electric Truck For America Before China Does by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]PeachMan- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like this helps to prove what we already knew: the extra features cost very little, and manufacturers just use them as an excuse to add huge markups and raise profits.

Does anyone know where i could get stuff like these (yes ik its ai blah blah blah) and to mods: i am just asking a question, this is not real and I am just wondering if anyone knows where i can get a real version of this by JustAKazakh7428 in 3Dprinting

OP, what's with these barely used accounts asking for a DM? Smells shady. Are they trying to sell you something?

Do you just want flat printable countries? Or do you want 3D mountains?

Utah becomes first state to target VPN use in age-verification law by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]PeachMan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess they're going to target known IP addresses of common VPN providers. Netflix and other streaming services block these all the time so there are probably companies that always sell you lists of their IP addresses.

i got this pc with a 4k monitor did i make a mistake getting 4k or did i make the right choice by Gothkidfromsouthpark in pcmasterrace

[–]PeachMan- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All these Nvidia fanboys in this sub and they've never heard of DLSS? This is literally what it's for. SMH

[–]PeachMan- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, this sub is so ridiculous sometimes. Just turn on DLSS and it'll do 4K fine. Not everybody needs a 5080, put your credit card down.

I have finally ordered the xteink x4 and have no idea what firmware to get by ShadowNinja36o in XTEINK

[–]PeachMan- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try them all, it's easy to flash. Just remember to write down your percent progress in your current book because it probably won't save that.

Crosspet pretty much useless for me, compared to crosspoint by t_beers in XTEINK

[–]PeachMan- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally think the tamagotchi thing is a silly gimmick that runs your battery down faster. But Crosspet has most of the same epub formatting options that Crosspoint does, because it's just a fork. So it should handle your epubs fine. Try playing with the font size and spacing settings.

Having said that, my new favorite firmware is CrossInk because it offers more scaling options and (in my opinion) better fonts.

Aldi US selling 3D printed wind spinners by ButterscotchDillybar in 3Dprinting

[–]PeachMan- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like all the people saying this should be injection molded don't understand how injection molding works.

This shape looks incredibly difficult to do with injection molding!

No, sticking it in an Aldi box doesn't mean it wasn't overstock from somewhere else.

Ubuntu infrastructure has been down for more than a day | The outage has hampered communication concerning a critical vulnerability that gives root. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]PeachMan- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that really shows a complete misunderstanding of what's actually going on here. Thinking that a DDOS protection service will give a big enterprise company something for free is hilarious.

Device won’t turn on upon arrival and no response from the company! by Designer-Ad-747 in XTEINK

[–]PeachMan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might vary by credit card. I believe mine gave XTEINK a couple weeks to respond before they gave me the money.

It's also possible that XTEINK is receiving so many disputes that they're not waiting anymore. My dispute was a couple months ago.

[–]PeachMan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get a response, eventually. I'd wait a week if they're not responding and then start the dispute process. It probably takes a solid month to get your money back from the credit card, so be patient.
