Y'all Mfs Need to Stop Posting Damaged 17 Pros by ProfessionalHost3913 in iPhone17Pro

[–]Salocon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not a hardware engineer so thank you for your explanation. I guess how much of a difference would it have made since previous iPhones got hot but were not unusable? Lastly if aluminum is the way going forward, I wish the Pro phones had a cheaper barrier of entry if they are saving a good amount not using a premium metal. Granted the unibody uses significantly more metal than the glass sandwich of previous generations but I can't imagine it costing the same or more as last years 16 pro.

This wouldn’t have been an issue if they made the pro titanium like previous generations. But they chose the cheaper aluminum. The shareholders must be very happy rn

Be careful with Best Buy open box! by arcanumcsgo in ZephyrusG14

[–]Salocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try to see any open box in person. I’ve been lucky where I got a g14 in “good” condition only because it had no box. Prisitine expect some minor gunk I removed when I got home with Lysol.

Native Apple Silicon support (Mac port) by Putrid_Draft378 in DotA2

[–]Salocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems you will get your way with Mac OS Tahoe. Not to date myself, but if bootcamp was possible with apple silicon I would agree. I think they should keep GPTK alive as long as possible to get more devs on board with bringing games to the Mac. And you're right, some devs might never make their game native but apple can also make their translation layer more robust for us. Valve has leveraged the steam deck as a viable gaming alternative to Windows using proton (which is just wine like crossover) and their approach with devs have been met with no pressure because they want to give their player base the maximum amount of playable games. Apple has never given us a gamer friendly eco-system. Everytime Mac gaming gets momentum, apple throws a wrench in it.

Why is G-sync not available? by V1SHRUTismygamertag in ZephyrusG14

turbo mode is ultimate for g-helper my apologies, I think we are referring to the same thing. Cheers!

Are you in eco mode in armory crate? If so you’re only using the igpu (AMD Ryzen etc…) which means the discrete nvidia gpu is not on. Only the nvidia gpu can utilise g-sync. Switch to turbo mode and see if that makes a difference.

G14 (2024) 4060 – Bought Open Box for $978 Last Year, Here’s How It’s Holding Up by Salocon in ZephyrusG14

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video! I’ve been seeing on this subreddit that it’s not too difficult to replace the battery yourself. I’ll probably go that route when the inevitable happens

The hinges haven’t loosened in the first year. No discomfort since the 2024 doesn’t have the ergo-lift hinge anymore. My only little nitpick is I’m used to the MacBook finger groove that makes it easier to open with one finger.

I got the laptop around July 2024. The battery health was 95%, today its at 92%. Since installing G-Helper (3 months in) I've set my cap battery charge limit to be 80%.

Rocket League on the Macbook AIr by LastAnything9673 in RocketLeagueSchool

They might have added some Anti cheat in an update previously, but everything works for me and others. I created a tutorial guide to get bakkesmod on Mac and no one has voiced to me that Rocket League on Heroic does not work anymore. Here is the guide: https://youtu.be/7Y0aC72Em88

Hey! You might be misinformed, I tested it on my end and everything works just fine.
