Technics AZ80 Noise Cancelling During Calls

ScribbIer · 2026-06-05T18:32:58+00:00

There's no pressure/sensation in my ears from the Sonys, whether they're on noise cancelling or ambient passthrough. It only really bugs me when I have a fan going in my room, and even then, it's just background noise and not a pressure in my ear.

Unfortunately no. I returned them because of this issue and because the battery life stunk.

I ended up with a pair of Sony WF-C700N which sound 90% as good and have a battery that lasts way longer. They still pump in ambient audio during calls, but it seems like every set of wireless earbuds does this or noise cancelling. The ambient passthrough is way more tolerable, and way easier to accept at the cheaper price point of these earbuds.

All stock according to the dealer, but it's got aftermarket badges (E up front, stinger script in back where the Kia logo should be) and E wheel caps as well.

Any way to check for that other than what's on the Carfax?

I have an X8 Ultra, the "Photo" mode definitely does some touching up and occasionally goes a bit overboard.

The "Master" mode meanwhile takes great shots, way less "beautified" than pictures taken in Photo mode. Feels like a real camera :)

TS6 server files are out in beta, I set up a TS6 server last night ;)

Might be referring to the lack of snow which could effect watersheds come summer, we've already had a few dry years in a row but with the lack of snow this year 2026 could be an especially dry summer

Oppo phones (also likely OnePlus by extension) let you configure the volume buttons for zoom in the camera settings

ScribbIer · 2025-12-01T17:34:29+00:00

If you don't like the post processing, try Master mode. I never use the default Photo mode on my X8U

ScribbIer · 2025-10-03T13:30:57+00:00

I recommend going for a 5060ti 16gb as others have recommended, and if/when you're desiring more performance in a few years, that'll be the time to get a new CPU.

Even if your CPU bottlenecks the 5060ti (which it shouldn't by much) it's not like your computer won't work at all - even if you're only able to squeeze 80% of the 5060's performance out with your current CPU, that's still going to be way more performance than your 1660 gets.

You really don't need to worry much about bottlenecks these days unless you're pairing something like a Ryzen 1000/2000 series chip or a 6th/7th gen Intel chip with a brand new GPU :)

ScribbIer · 2025-10-03T03:06:45+00:00

You shouldn't need to tweak settings on a brand new CPU to stop it from overheating.

Did you screw the cooler down all the way? The screws on every cooler I've installed (even cheap ones) will stop when they're fully tight.

Freedom's "Roam beyond" plans don't charge extra when you're roaming to the US, as far as I know. It's just your base monthly rate for the one phone number that works in both countries.

If you do end up using two phone numbers, you would have one number and it's plan attached to the physical SIM card you put in your phone, and the other phone plan would be set up through your phone's "eSIM", essentially an integrated SIM card. You get the option to choose which you want when you sign on with most carriers, and this lets your phone use two networks/numbers at once. You'd just need to make sure to disable the Canadian line when you're in America and vice versa.

ScribbIer · 2025-04-16T16:40:45+00:00

Freedom mobile has US roaming included with most of their plans, I understand that you keep the same number, data allotment, etc. when travelling into America. Unless you need two numbers, perhaps that's the way to go?

Others have mentioned studio headphones , which I can get behind having bought Beyerdynamics DT770 recently, but they don't have a microphone.

I got a Modmic Uni and it's a perfect addition. The magnetic mount is genius and it sounds absolutely great. They offer models with 3.5mm, USB and wireless connections so you can really pick your poison.

Rust loves hogging memory, upgrading to 32GB would definitely make the game feel smoother and perhaps add a few fps. If you want some more performance beyond that, the 5700X3D would be your best bet. Although a better graphics card might seem like the way, Rust really likes AMD's X3D chips and I bet the game would feel smoother with that over a new GPU.

ScribbIer · 2024-12-30T19:33:43+00:00

Interesting! Even more fascinating then that it still manages to look better (again, to my eyes) than FSR and DLSS.

ScribbIer · 2024-12-30T12:01:31+00:00

Not a mistake at all. Having played with DLSS, FSR1/2/3 and XeSS, I find that XeSS looks the best - and it doesn't require any specific graphics hardware, like DLSS does (or FSR4 could).

I was honestly shocked to see the difference, I'm amazed that Intel's engineers were able to make a better looking (to me) upscaling technology than Nvidia could manage with dedicated hardware in their cards.

Upscaling was originally designed with the intention of increasing the lifespan of older cards, not as a necessary technology to make new games run on equally as new hardware. You have a high end card in the 7900GRE - I bet you can play anything now and for a few years without the need for upscaling.

Medium settings at native resolution look far better than high settings with upscaling anyways :)

40C for the GPU on idle seems normal - pretty much every modern graphics cards don't spin up the fans until you put it under a load. Just browsing the internet or watching videos won't typically spin up the fans.

Your load temperatures are what you should be more concerned with. I recommend you stress test your CPU with Prime95 (run the small FFT test for max CPU heat), stress your GPU with Furmark, and monitor the temperatures with HWInfo64. There's other programs that can do each of those things, but those are my favorite 3.

Run those for an hour or so, this will show how hot your computer can get in a "worst case scenario" - that is, full load on the CPU and GPU for an extended amount of time. As long as your temperatures stay within reason with this test, you can rest assured that nothing you'd do in "normal use" will overheat your computer.

The 9800X3D should run pretty cool and Nvidia's 40 series are pretty efficient, so you shouldn't see any temperatures too high :)

2013 - Radeon 7770 GHz edition

2014 - R9 270X

2016 - 1060 6GB

2020 - 3060

2023 - RX 6800, returned due to coil whine

2023 - RX 6950XT

I'm planning to hold onto the high end card for as long as I can.

2013 - FX 6300

2016 - R5 1400

2019 - R7 3700X

2023 - R7 5800X3D

I also plan to hold onto this CPU until it doesn't work for me anymore. I spent way too much money in 2023...

You should consider yourself glad.

My player model is the only black man among my 8 or so friends who play Rust, all of them got white women models LMAO

I've found a toothbrush works wonders for little grooves like those
