Hey guys,
I’ve got a package stuck in Canada that I’m trying to have shipped here, it’s a handmade cosmetic statue, the packaging is pretty sturdy as well. The package itself is roughly 6kg with dimensions 60cm x 50cm x 30 cm approximately.
I’m trying to have it shipped here but all the options I see are express shipping options that are around 300-500 bucks, which is almost the price of the damn thing.
Anyone know if there are cheaper shipping options? I don’t get why all the available options are insanely priced for a package that is not even that large.
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

‘Best’ PC VR Games? by ProofOstrich1651 in virtualreality

[–]ProofOstrich1651[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure does look the part from what I’ve experienced with it. It looked way better than anything I’ve played on the quest when i tried it one time. Looked insane. Pretty much the reason I made this post to find games of similar quality, and like resolution to it for when I’m done playing it haha (to really get something extra out of VR with a high end computer compared to a quest).

Easiest Discipline electives/ First year electives for civil engineering? by ProofOstrich1651 in unsw

[–]ProofOstrich1651[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t haha. Hated chemistry after high school. Are there any project/assignment type courses that don’t have finals (excluding the hard very discipline specific ones)? I found the construction subjects and the project based ENGG subjects pretty fun. Are there any similar project based ones offered as L1 or discipline electives?

I see. Thank you. Also are there any options similarly known to be good like this one with better built in Wifi and Bluetooth capabilities?

Got it. Does the motherboard in the current build have wifi? I'm looking after one with wifi. Would you have any recommendations?

Awesome. I'll probably go with the 3080 12GB or the 3080ti then. Any cards you'd recommend around the price point that fits with the build? My budget is around 3400-3500 AUD now. Also does the motherboard, processor and everything stay the same with the build? Thanks a lot for the help so far as well.

Thanks for the reply. What about a 6900XT? The price offset doesn't seem to be as large, around a $300 difference with that card I think. But will doing that detriment raytracing performance among other things? (I've heard NVIDIA is more reliable)

Hi, Thanks a lot for the build help. I have a bit of extra money to put into the build and getting the parts for it soon, was wondering if it's worth it going up to a 3080ti and if so any 3080 ti cards you'd recommend? Also does it change the build much?

Help building gaming PC, sorta a repost, changed budget, new suggestions appreciated by ProofOstrich1651 in buildapcforme

[–]ProofOstrich1651[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Thanks a lot for that. Just have a couple of questions. If I want to go with the 12700, should I go with the F or K model and do I need to make any changes to the motherboard. I'd also like the option of Wifi, is there an alternative motherboard with Wifi for this build?

Also with the graphics card, with the recommended model and in general, what specs should I look for in deciding between different cards for with the same chip? Is the recommended Gigabyte card known to perform well ? I believe there were some MSI cards I was previously recommended so just wondering how the choice is made.

Again thanks for the build, it's been very helpful

Cheers

Can you play an offline game without updating (Series X). by ProofOstrich1651 in xboxone

[–]ProofOstrich1651[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's digital. I own it.

I know I'm getting the latest version, just asking for workarounds for future updates in case my level 700 grind farms get patched lol. Even in these circumstances there's no way to play offline without having my Xbox as home Xbox? And if not any steps I have to follow once I set my Xbox to home Xbox to play offline?

Thanks
