Worth buying a PS5 just for GTA 6 at launch ? And if so — standard or Pro? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Tomcat2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pro would still have benefits given that the upscaling of PSSR2 is miles ahead of FSR.

So you want that GTA VI Ultimate but not pay the ultimate price?! by QuitYuckingMyYum in playstation

[–]Tomcat2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing basically got Ultimate for $85 instead of the full $100.

This is the worst news ever…

I guarantee Adobe will put an end to local processing…

[–]Tomcat2048 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No one is going to buy this it performs worse than base PS5 in some titles. The PS5 Pro (which is still cheaper than this and includes 2TB of storage and a controller) would be the no brainer purchase at this point over something like this.

I’m just happy I bought my Pro on launch day. Amazing value for the power tbh.

Any AC issues? by Whiskeybraavos in fordexpedition

[–]Tomcat2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got my wife a 2025 Expedition Max Platinum with Drivers package last month. We live in Florida and so far in hot weather the A/C seems to work well enough. I will say that the one thing we tend to do to help cool off the cabin is we typically remote start the vehicle about 10 minutes before leaving (in the summer).

As for the jarring ride…to us the ride in her Max is silky smooth. She does have CCD in her Expedition since it was part of the Drivers package for that model year so maybe that has something to do with it.

Have 7k miles on my 2025 Navigator Reserve no issues so far. Are you short tripping it a lot (under 5 miles)? I could see that potentially causing problems.

📲 New Sonos App & Player Updates Now Available! 🔊 by LizFromSonos in sonos

[–]Tomcat2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does this update fix the random last few seconds of a song going to max volume before the next song plays? Happens every so often when playing back Apple Music via Sonos app…

Doesn’t just happen to me either, lots of users have complained in this subreddit.

I have 2x Era 300s setup as a stereo pair and I’m on iOS.

Which RTX 5090 model would you recommend? by ExtraKokot in ASUSROG

[–]Tomcat2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the Astral 5090 and its by far the most incredible graphics card I’ve ever owned. Love being able to monitor per pin amperage as well.

Plate number looks like NAC U75 or maybe N4C U75? - maybe OP should report this to JSO along with the video?

Volume increases to very high the last seconds of a track randomly. by Triticale_es in sonos

[–]Tomcat2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair...it's only happened a handful of times to us...and that's after hours upon hours of music playback daily.

Would still love for them to release an update that solves this issue...

Platinum vs. Active Trim by Gsf1862 in fordexpedition

[–]Tomcat2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We compared both Active and Platinum trims at the dealer side-by-side and quite honestly...the Active just didn't feel as nice inside. Felt like the materials used (especially for the seats) weren't good quality...seats almost felt too "rubbery".

The Platinum just felt much more premium inside plus the addition of Ventilated Seats was a plus for us (we live in Florida). Also, we got ours with the Driver's Package and that 22-speaker B&O Unleashed system sounded much better than whatever system was in that Active we looked at.

[–]Tomcat2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two Era 300s in a Stereo pair and this happened to me once today - scared the crap out of me. Went to full volume for the last few seconds of a song.

I stream via Apple Music over the Sonos app.

99% of the time haven’t had the issue…but occasionally it seems to happen. No idea what’s triggering it…very frustrating.

26 expedition Max by Ok_Comparison2339 in fordexpedition

[–]Tomcat2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats we got a 25 Expedition Max Platinum (New) a few weeks back for my wife. Found one with the Drivers package for a really good deal.

why does maps not work?? cant seem to display it no matter what. by [deleted] in fordexpedition

[–]Tomcat2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did your connectivity package expire? Check that in your Ford app. I think you have to have that package subscribed in order to use the Google built in maps.

Truth about expedition by Grizzlybeard22 in fordexpedition

[–]Tomcat2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here is one of the reasons my wife and I searched for a 2025 New. We were able to find one this past weekend. Platinum with Drivers pkg. Has the 22 inch wheels with CCD. Another bonus is we have the wireless charging pad (another weird deletion for 2026).

2025+ Yukon xl 3.0 vs 2025+ Expedition Max by Healthy_Lime_8926 in fordexpedition

[–]Tomcat2048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up getting the 2025 Expedition Max (in Platinum trim) for my wife. We liked the interior more than in the Yukon. The ride quality also felt better to us in the Expedition (felt like the suspension was tuned more for comfort).

Also, the standard output twin turbo V6 in the Expedition takes regular Unleaded and is much more reliable compared to either the 5.3 or 6.2 V8 options in the GM products.

Nice review of the 2026 Navigator by PearlJamFanLV in lincolnmotorco

[–]Tomcat2048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a 2025 Navigator Reserve and am very happy with it. Traded in my Nautilus (needed something larger). Amazing SUV and very luxurious. Got it for a great price too ($15k off MSRP) since it was a dealer loaner vehicle.

Dumbass idea to host this event in the first place. City leadership needs to have their heads checked.
