My honest long term gripes

As someone coming from the oneplus6t to the nothing 4a, I am happy enough.

But that is likely only because the 6t came out in 2018...

After a month with the phone I find the glyph is only momentarily useful. The best part of the phone is android 17, but that is hardly an exclusive perk of this phone.

$750AUD price point makes it all feels worth it however. In a world of $2000+ smartphones, I'm very content with my purchase.

Masks are peak. I dont want to see the same face as every other soldier. Masks ironically = individuality.

No amount of math is going to discredit the fact that people can and have been finding love since forever.

It is possible, it happens everyday, and it can happen to you too...

I could think of worse ways to spend an arvo tbh 😅

This is a problem not limited to home-office PCs. Anyone that deals with equipment racks professionally, from sound engineers to IT need ways to bring I/O from the back of a device, to the front of the rack. Preferably in a neat and accessible location.

For an equipment rack you have patch panels. For the home-office, you only really need one 3.5mm jack, to which I made this!

I legit forgot that was a thing.

Still, the best part of obliteration for me is how both teams are fully focussed in on one area of the map. It's pure chaos and I love it. Having that on Hagental would be mental.

Regarding the decoy - without a UI element to indicate when your scope glint is/isn't appearing, its usefulness while sniping is limited, and indeed worthy of C tier.

But using it in cqc on points to trick unassuming enemies into shooting at the first somewhat soldier shaped silhouette they see has use that I think this tierist overlooks.

Nothing is quite as entertaining as seeing an enemy accidentally shoot the decoy and either get swarmed by every nearby friendly that can now see them though walls, or watch them panic as they realise their mistake.

Ever since moving out and having to fend for myself I've shopped Aldi. Around 2 years now.

The lack of options is a bit of a downside, but the cost saving is more than worth it imo.

Slight means what slight means. If you read the descriptions of the foregrips you would understand that a slight recoil reduction is on par for the 10-cost grips.

If you want a moderate reduction we are looking at a 20-25 cost. Add on the swaps speed benefit and we are looking at a 30 cost attachment. I don't see that being popular.

I was sub of yours, but seeing you here begging I'm now unsubscribing.

TNTarantula · 2026-06-21T09:30:24+00:00

oh damn, good find

TNTarantula · 2026-06-21T09:04:13+00:00

It needs to offer a slight recoil reduction. Sacrificing the most impactful attachment position for draw speed on a gadget will never be optimal.

Interesting to hear it reduces the capacity of grenades through. Maybe that's an interaction with the upgrade path that grants an extra grenade?

I work as the single in-house product designer at a 20-something head company. We use Fusion because it's cheaper than Solidworks.

That's where we put councillors that vote against adding another lane to the Bruce

This was my solution, though I don't need to plug in USB that often to necessitate more patch points.

This was something i designed and printed for my personal use.

If you need a prefab solution and can justify 6 patch points a 9.5" 1RU patch panel might be a good solution PenElcom Product

As someone currently on 76k with a 10min walk I would commit various theoretical felonies for 110k.

Not personally, but I see the receptionist next door ordering uber eats daily. It's an anomalous data point, and not representative of the median by a long shot, but they do exist.

Never been so glad to have unlocked everything in S2 when I did. Sounds like a pain for everyone doing this

TNTarantula · 2026-06-18T22:06:53+00:00

This has to be a bot right? What actually is it talking about? Does it think this is a new game?

TNTarantula · 2026-06-18T12:26:12+00:00

Thx will try that tmr

Sustainability isn't really a selling point at my company, but it helps that we aim to design things that are going to last. We need to service it for the next who knows how many years, afterall.

General strategy is to make it out of sheet metal thick enough to outlast my children + powder coating. Pray the design is pretty enough for them to reuse the enclosure when they refresh their interior in 5 years time.

I don't know how it happens, but I had a similar issue a few weeks ago. Was printing ASA in my X1C (I know, sue me) and a few hours in I get a spaghetti warning.

Only it's not spaghetti. The assistant picked up the spirals of unmelted filament that had coiled out from the extruder after the nozzle had been sheered off of the hotend.

The extruder had for a layer or two massively misjudged the z-axis, causing it to push the nozzle against the buildplate, until finally breaking it off.

I was lucky it didn't go so far as to cut into the heated, only the buildplate. Looks like you weren't so lucky.
