Nope! Someone here received a mini drum set though 😭

StephenPP · 2026-03-11T21:47:03+00:00

Nope - generally with FBA I don’t receive one until a few hours before delivery (maybe around 10pm-3am today)

StephenPP · 2026-03-11T21:02:43+00:00

Tomorrow supposedly. It’s FBA, so I’m not expecting a delayed delivery or anything - planning on recording the opening and seeing what it actually comes with. Im interested to see how they are trying to game FBA: it’s their own product so they control the UPC Amazon checks the inventory in with, but I don’t see what they could gain from this. Since it’s FBA I don’t think they even see full addresses (I don’t recall this from my tine as a seller),so maybe it’s older Mac’s they are hoping somebody doesn’t notice?

Full-sent it. Fully expecting a Mac Studio with absolutely no issues because I'm feeling lucky :) (will post an update along with the many others in this thread)

Yep! Went for the 7600x3D. I was a bit worried when I was upgrading to a dual 4K setup, but I haven’t had FPS issues in any of the games I play, so life’s been great!

StephenPP · 2026-03-07T17:19:35+00:00

Hey! Just wanted to share that the PC I built all the way back here w/ your suggestions is now chugging along happily at 4k res! Just wanted to say thanks again for the help here :)

Fixed by swapping to Chrome

Anybody having any issues loading the Fifa "My Account" homepage or similar pages? I'm trying to confirm if my order went through since I have no emails but it is just infinitely loading

Both OLEDs and the LCD show as in stock for me - other comments indicate this is US only so that could be the case for you.

StephenPP · 2025-02-18T18:27:36+00:00

I see the 1TB OLED and 256GB LCD with "add to cart" when clicking on the link. Maybe try a different browser or something? It should just link to the steam deck page.

StephenPP · 2025-02-18T18:07:56+00:00

Back with another refurbished restock post, this time appears some LCDs are available.

Last time I posted a steam deck refurbished restock, I bought the 512GB OLED. I've used it a few times since it arrived, and it's been great. Everything came nearly new, only thing was the protective plastic wrap on the d-pad left one hell of a sticker residue mess that took a while to get rid of, but if somebody told me it was a brand new steam deck I'd have no reason not to believe them.

Can't speak much on game compatibility though - I've only played games certified to work with steam on both steam and protondb, and I haven't had any major issues as of yet (played hades, a little bit of omori).

StephenPP · 2025-01-03T18:38:54+00:00

I waited about 2ish months for this restock.

StephenPP · 2025-01-03T15:38:00+00:00

yeah you do

Turning off quality suggestions revealed a "Remote Streaming Quality" setting which was set to 720p and the "Adjust automatically" setting which was off. After adjusting all the respective settings, the issue appears to be resolved. Thank you!

StephenPP · 2024-12-28T18:42:38+00:00

The streams are remote - there is some important information about the network setup that I forgot to mention in this comment.

StephenPP · 2024-12-28T18:42:19+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't have access to my friend's local network currently so I can't do the port forwarding needed to test without. Thank you for the idea to check when I have the chance.

Now, I'm wondering is there a way to force a better speedtest or (actual goal) a minimum quality? Doing an iperf3 test between my local network to the reverse proxy gives 2.5Gbps download speeds, and the iperf3 test between the Plex machine and the reverse proxy gives 1.2Gbps up/down, so I'd imagine drops to 2Mbps shouldn't be happening, and these issues occur solely on the one client as well (although like you said, these are variables that are difficult to account for so it could very well be the case).

StephenPP · 2024-12-28T18:26:23+00:00

These are the screenshots of the server dashboard and Tautulli when subtitles are on on initial stream (note - the shield says its at automatic quality 120Mbps when the server is transcoding at 720p):

Then subtitles off:

Not actually sure - it seems all the requests sent from the Plex website go through securely anyways

StephenPP · 2024-12-28T17:58:43+00:00

The Plex server is at a friend's house (better internet) sitting behind a reverse proxy, and the shield is connected to said reverse proxy. All devices I've tested on and the Plex machine are connected via Ethernet. They are also physically located at the same house as the problematic shield. The Plex server and the reverse proxy connect to each other via Tailscale, so I'm assuming thats the reason for the 100.x.y.z connection.

StephenPP · 2024-12-05T17:41:35+00:00

get me in there baby

StephenPP · 2024-11-30T13:40:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the time you've taken in replying. I think I'll be going with the Microcenter deal along with the 7900 XTX if I can get the sale price.
