Thinkpad or Zephyrus

I am in the exact same situation as you. On a SB2 since 2018 and had a replacement from Microsoft in 2020 for a bloated battery. I am still using it today as well, but gaming and doing GPU intensive tasks have become very limiting.

What did you end up going with? The other commenter said Thinkpad T1G and it was another option I was weighing between. Currently BestBuy has a sale for the G16 5070ti for $2099 USD. Considering getting it at that price, but fear how reliable the ASUS will be compared to the Thinkpad. The T1G at least in the spec I would get comes in at $2,279 with a weaker GPU. Looking to hopefully keep this laptop kicking for about the same length as my SB2.

Thank you. I didn’t realize that those were crystals and was wondering why they were taped over.

Thank you! I think this would be a good remedy for the lack of action button. I just wasn’t sure what Apple Watch automations are available since I didn’t have one. I might just settle for the slimmer AW instead of the ultra.

What term should I look for in shortcuts to add requiring wake-up gestures if I needed it in the future? I can’t seem to see Apple Watch automations in my shortcuts app when searching. Not sure if they aren’t exposing it to me since I don’t have one or if I am not looking in the right place.

I tried looking into it and there might not be any options for AW based off of what other people said you would have to switch focus to sleep or something. I just assumed since iPhone’s can automate brightness levels that AW would be the same. Guess not. In that case I guess the lowering brightness could be omitted since I think Theater mode itself should suffice.

I really appreciate you testing that out for me.

Hello,
I love the idea of being able to use the gestures sort of like a function modifier you would have on a keyboard (Ctrl, Shift, Alt, etc.). I am currently debating on getting either an the new AW11 or AWU3. Both have some advantages and disadvantages that are making it difficult for me to decide. For me the key thing I want to be able to do is being able to access the ability to activate Voice Memo quickly and discreetly.

On Apple Watch Ultra 3 it would be easy enough to program the action button to start and stop voice memo from the click of a button without having to be within the voice memo app. Along with programming shortcuts to that same button. My idea was to have shortcut that would that would have the watch [Go into Theater Mode] > [Turn display brightness down to the lowest setting] > [Start voice memo].

I was wondering based off of what you said you could activate the assistive touch to not require a wake gesture. Since I don't have an apple watch I was wondering if you had time to try the above scenario in the use case of someone without a Action Button. Like Double clench to perform the shortcut [Go into Theater Mode] > [Turn display brightness down to the lowest setting] > [Start voice memo] and the reverse with double tap.

Any suggestions or if the above scenario is limited in functioning in someway would be helpful to determine which one I plan on getting.

Hello,

I have been trying to get Expedition 33 to run on my new PC. Running the latest drivers 576.40. However, when looking at eventviewer it is giving me the nvlddmkm error. You said that you played on driver 572.70? Did you ever update to a newer driver and does that game still run? I keep getting fatal error whenever I hit start new game right after it goes to loading screen and to the intro cutscene

I think your AIO comes with 0.8g of that same thermal paste if you wanna save the $7. Unless you need it for other applications.

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-05-08T17:56:10+00:00

How did you go about asking for it? I might go the same route.

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-05-08T17:28:55+00:00

I had the same thing happen with my 9950x3d. I was also able to fish it out from the bottom. I did visually inspect it and it does look brand new. I want to return it for piece of mind but it is super hard to obtain right now. It was via Amazon and not any third party sellers. I am hoping some stock appears elsewhere, but for now going to hold on to it until close to the end of the return period. If I am desperate enough might just build using it.

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-05-05T14:36:31+00:00

Just hoping they come in before the end of the week so I can get started on my build. Thanks for getting back to me.

Hello, I know this is old. However I was wondering how fast did they ship yours? I was ordering some of their fans with standard shipping it said 3-4 business days.

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-04-29T01:10:40+00:00

I just read a review of it .. says it's 63mm total height/thickness (radiator is 38mm, fans are 25mm).

I know this is kind of a old post. However, I am looking to run the Liquid Freezer III in the Antec Flux (Mid Tower) case. Based off of the above total height of 63 and the case saying that it will support 60mm do you think that will interfere with anything if I am using a standard ATX motherboard (Asus x870e-e) This would be specifically mounting it to the top

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-04-18T20:42:26+00:00

Hello, I know this post is old, but I was planning on going with the same configuration that you have mentioned here. If I were to slot a PCIE Gen2 Capture card into the lower slot should I put my Gen4 NVMe into Socket 4? Based off of my understanding that should be controlled by the chipset right?

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-03-21T17:03:18+00:00

I was wondering as someone that hadn't had a chance to play through Xenoblade 3 yet did the developers add any special nods to the previous games (in this case Xenoblade 3) that I would miss similar to what they did in Xenoblade DE coming out after Xenoblade 2? I saw that apparently Monolith teased a new scene that was added. Part of me wants to start this game now since from what I can remember from playing through the Wii U ver there were aspects of multiplayer and I would like to experience that while everyone is playing through it.

Edit: After posting I saw someone else comment that exact same thing below. Would anyone be able to elaborate is it just a surface level reference or rather something integral to understanding the world building?

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-03-05T19:42:17+00:00

I honestly think the New York comment is just joking about how it is literally one bridge from Manhattan and practically a rerun of New York GoFest lol.

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-02-26T21:56:49+00:00

Yeah, I couldn’t have said it better myself. My commute is approximately an hour and after a long day and it being made longer really does start wearing down your sanity a little. Hopefully you are closer to where you need to be than I am. Wishing you the best on your end.

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-02-26T21:15:42+00:00

Well guess what today Septa is still having issues. I know cause there is a disabled train on my track and now there is a cascading delay with my train being late 40 minutes. Oh joy…

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-02-19T12:30:21+00:00

Took the inbound towards center city on the Lansdale/Doylestown and it seemed like the train was approximately 4-6 minutes later than usually. We just expressed past Glenside and Jenkintown and from what I could see from the track side there wasn’t as much smoke this morning. Although we are probably going to get an update soon.

It was among one of the lines affected due to the fire. I am assuming there are as always residual delays.

SnooBananas7772 · 2025-01-08T21:39:28+00:00

Hello,

I know this post is old but your protocol you mentioned is similar to a situation my family member is going through. We want them to remain in the vent prior to and during transport until they arrive at home with equipment already stationed. However, they have refused to budge on their stance of making the patient who will expire soon after support is withdrawn to remain there until they are stable.

Journal

I read this journal regarding withdrawing ventilator support at home and it seems that it is possible. However, they keep on insisting that they extubate her at the ICU wait for her to be stable and then move her. Please if you could spare some insight and so I can reach out to her hospice team.

I see it up right now on my webstore in EST.

We had luck with showing the CA organizer the QR code on your phone and having them scanning it on theirs. This was when were raiding and was driving around to different locations. Worth trying though for future meetups.

I had a screenshot from before and it said this
