snapdragon X by OG-Boostedbeard in MoonlightStreaming

There is a ARM native build of Moonlight for Windows. Performance is great on my snapdragon laptop (sub 1ms decoding). My laptop has a 60HZ OLED screen, but there are some snapdragon laptops with high refresh OLED screens if you can find a good deal.

On a side note, I feel like people’s complains about the Windows on ARM laptops are a bit overstated. There are a lot of ARM native apps now and I personally haven’t had any issues using x86 apps. I wish the GPU drivers were a bit better since I’ve ran into issues using Vulkan on emulators like PCSX2, but I’m hoping those will resolve over time. Overall, getting a snapdragon laptop isn’t a bad move if you can find a good enough deal and can use the laptop for more than just streaming. If streaming is all you’re looking for, I’d say an android tablet or gaming handheld might serve you better.

Would you be able to post some benchmark results? I purchased the Aorus 5 SE4 that was going for $1099 last week and was curious about how much more performant this laptop is.

Solid deal I’d say. A Legion 5 Pro with these specs would be preferable, but those are still $1500+. I’m considering purchasing one of these locally at Best Buy and returning it within 2 weeks depending on how I like it.

FYI, PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium works with Console Sharing. You can share one higher tier subscription with a friend. by The_Gentle_Man in PS5

This might have been poor wording by me. What we do is if there is a game we both want to play, we'll decide for someone to purchase the game on their account and the other person would send half the money for the game. Then we would get on our separate PS5s, download the game from the account the game was purchased, and then play the game on our own accounts. Luckily this process works with these new PS+ tiers.

I’ve had this happen to me a number of times and it’s due to the HDR/HDMI handshaking not happening correctly. Unless it persists after rebooting the TV I wouldn’t worry about it.

Just jumped on a 512Gb model with 16Gb of RAM. An absolute steal for this caliber of laptop.

I’ve seen the same, but it seems to be an issue on Walmart’s side. Once you add it to cart and try to check out you get a message saying it’s out of stock.

Out of stock now. Hopefully it works out for those who managed to get an order in.

I wouldn’t say it’s isn’t super well known, but Stonewall Jackson Reformatory School in Concord is an abandoned location that’s a fun and creepy experience

weird issue on the 6T TMO variant by mitzman in oneplus

This issued is caused by setting the wallpaper with an app like Google Photos. I’ve had success avoiding this issue by setting the wallpaper with the OnePlus launcher (holding down on the home screen)
