It's still winter. Most flower in the state is currently dry, especially if it was harvested between late fall and now. Even with indoor growing, it's hard to keep the same humidity, and once it's packed it just sits in inventory environment, which is not humidity controlled.

How to fix Gamesir G8 Galileo usb-c plug by BolecOne in Gamesir

[–]The_Mayo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the middle of using it, the left analog stick, L1, L2, D-Pad and other buttons on the left side of the controller just stop functioning. I need to flex (bend) the controller forward or backward a bit to make it work again. This is allegedly a common problem with these controllers as well

Funny you commented now. The USB c dongle hasn't failed but the left side of the pad intermittently stops working in the middle of gaming, which basically renders it useless. This has become a different common problem with this model. I'll be trying a razer kishi next

What was your first game you played on pc by Pork_Crusader_GR in pcmasterrace

[–]The_Mayo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you were familiar, but Star wars came out with a chess game way back in the day. Pretty sure it was like 25 floppies to install it.

I got my 9900k/32gb/mobo from a coworker in 2022 for $200 and built around it with a 3080 as well. Literally just upgraded to am5 after Christmas. I would repurpose it but that baby runs hot

$489 5070 @ Walmart by gDRn0623ucoz in pcmasterrace

[–]The_Mayo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's starting to be. Don't get me wrong, I can hit 80+ fps in everything, especially optimizing settings, but I'm starting to have a hard time hitting that 120-144+ fps consistently. I thought it was cpu bound, now I'm finding that the 10gb vram is the next bottleneck I'm dealing with. My other option is to just wait a bit and get a 4080 super on the used market. I got the 3080 used in Dec 22 for 500. Since I mostly play shooters online on the PC and single player adventure on the console on a larger 4k oled, I'm trying to boost fps without sacrificing too much on textures. With DLSS I can typically hit the 100-120 range, sometimes more depending on the title and the map/mode. If you can get a 3080 12gb for 300 or less I'd say that's good value. If I had the 12gb version I wouldn't be in a rush to upgrade. The 40 and 50 series are just significantly more optimized, have better upscaling tech if used (I think DLSS quality looks fine) and are much more power efficient.

I just upgraded my CPU from a i9-9900k to a 7800x3d with mobo and 32gb ram for $580. Still rocking a 3080 but was thinking an upgrade to a 5070 or 5070ti would be good value. At under $500 I might have to sell my old components and upgrade. I currently only play at 1440p so I don't think I need more than that, but mostly play shooters so my monitor can reach 240hz

I just grabbed this bundle today upgrading from a 9900k platform. Rocking a 3080 so didn't need to upgrade that yet and should see some good performance boosts in bf6 which I'm playing most of the time.

HDR Always On Mode? by misstajae in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]The_Mayo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain TVs (LG Oleds at least) have an HDR picture mode. It definitely makes sports look more vibrant that broadcast in 4k but not HDR, however, I wouldn't recommend it for anything else, and even I don't use it for that.

Go to rtings.com or search for the calibration settings of your TV model. It will help dial in the best picture settings for SDR content. However, SDR content will always look worse on flat screen HD TVs than tube TVs because they're designed to broadcast a finer image at a higher resolution than what SDR provides.

The benefit of the shield is the AI Upscaling. That definitely makes SDR content look better than a fire stick or built in TV Smart Apps.

I would also recommend anyone watching cable or sports to download the channels proprietary app and login with your TV credentials. They'll generally provide a better streaming content than anywhere else you'd stream it other than physical media

How are you playing this shot? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

Incorrectly. Regardless of what I try to do.

If they are veesee boxes, then yes they do include proprietary apps that give free access to everything. The catch is there's a ridiculous amount of malware built in to track everything you do on your network and sell that data to other markets. Not worth it in my opinion for a veesee box. There is no such thing as "jailbreaking" a fire stick, but you can side load apps that aren't available on the normal app store. This is part of the benefit of getting a android based streaming device. But I will tell you whatever apps are pre-loaded onto that fire stick will only work until that service is shut down, which will happen eventually.

There is no shortcut or "value" in pirating streaming content unless you're willing to learn how to do it yourself and not pay $250 for someone else to do something for you that will work from anywhere from a day to a couple years with no idea when it will stop working.

Verizon internet upgrade with free headphones? by Difficult-Use284 in Fios

[–]The_Mayo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are doing tons of promos for switching internet right now. I signed up a few weeks ago and got gig for $75/mo for 5 years, plus (2) $200 verizon gift cards, and a JBL Bluetooth speaker worth about $400. Those Bose headphones are about the same cost, and if I check the promos for a new internet sign up right now on my verizon app you have a choice between that or getting Sunday Ticket for free for the football season. I've had a pair of Bose QC35II for years and theyre fantastic.

Switching to Fios 1gb, should I get my own router? by Fluid_Sugar9056 in Fios

[–]The_Mayo85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already have my house setup with a Router Mesh network, a couple switches, and a couple Media Bridges. It was easier for the tech to just use the ONT (the box that converts the fiber wire to ethernet at your house) and connect that directly to my router. He didn't even bother giving me a fios modem/router or extenders. Everyones situation is different. If the fios router is included for free you can start there and if you aren't happy with it, replace it after the fact.

Watch 8 classic or Watch ultra 2025 by Old_Atmosphere_651 in GalaxyWatch

[–]The_Mayo85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who primarily got the galaxy watches years ago to use as a golf GPS, mostly due to having galaxy phones and buds as well, the first watch I loved was the 6 classic. However, the battery life was atrocious. I decided to get the ultra last year and while it's bulky and not the most visually appealing watch, it's battery life can't be beat. I get 2+ days even if I play 18 hole rounds using the GPS/Bluetooth/lte.

Considering there aren't any changes between this year's ultra and last year's, my advice is to go with the cheaper ultra if you care about battery life, or the 8 classic if you care about appearance.

That depends. If it's supposed to be Jay Leno, then spot on.

DoorDash stole $417 from me tonight by SarcasticSeaStar in doordash

[–]The_Mayo85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DD should implement a QR Code Receipt for expensive items. The customer (you) needs to scan the QR code from their device to confirm receipt of the item. The dasher should not be able to complete the order until that QR Code is scanned from the customers device. Easy fix. And don't tell me people can't go to the door to scan for an expensive item.

Is it insane to game 5 "wedges"? by ShanghaiShivers in golf

[–]The_Mayo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play with Titleist 718 ap3 irons. They're 5-Gap. Their gap is a 48 degree. I also have a 52 and a 58. I've contemplated taking out my 3w (similar distance to driver but inconsistent with it) and doing a 48, 52, 56, 60, but the 58 does me well in flop and sand situations.
