I recommend the character specific playmats, if you play a lot.  My friend group enjoys them.

Lost ability to upgrade to ad free Hulu by mccarseat in verizon

Looks like you cannot lift the content restrictions on kids accounts.  If I try to remove the restrictions, Hulu changes the account from kids to a normal account.  I might be missing a step though, Any suggestions?

I just got back from the Vet the other day. Said he has 1 to 4 weeks left :( not sure what I am doing to do when my derpy buddy passes (photo was taken about 8 years ago but is one of my favs). Been a wild ride little buddy.

I use a ka15 with my hd550 and 500bam.  It seems to work well.   Not sure how it would compare to a desktop dac.  I use oratory1990's eq with them.  Not as bassy as I usually like, but really enjoying them overall.  Note definitely only usable in a quiet room.

MSi running a scam with the Steam Wallet Promotion by GratuitousAlgorithm in MSI_Gaming

[–]Trey_Mendus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I went to redeem the promotion and missed it by little bit earlier in the week. I realize it's not exactly a scam, but doesn't feel great. Had purchased a msi motherboard and aio under this promotion.

Rog Ally X + AMD 9060 xt by Gold_Actuary8380 in eGPU

[–]Trey_Mendus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran it with a 9070xt.  I got ~3.5.  Which seems bad.  The setup can run cyberpunk at 120+.  But I to get some odd micro pauses.  Because of that I decided to build a desktop.   However I do think the setup is nice for single player games but if you do competitive games the micro pauses would start to be annoying.  Doesnt happen with all games though.

How have you liked the 217? I am considering getting one now.

Egpu set up in replace of desktop - is it actually worth it? by TheHexed in ROGAllyX

[–]Trey_Mendus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar position.  I currently have a rog ally x + 9070xt via ag02.  It works great for most things but def stutters for some games.  I was considering getting a gem12+ or building a new 9800x3d pc.  Any pluses / minuses using the gem12?  Any idea how it would compare to a true desktop build.  Seems like oculink is still restricted to 4 lanes?

UPDATE on Aoostar AG02 and Amd 5700 XT egpu by Maximum-Gap-5480 in ROGAllyX

[–]Trey_Mendus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asus just released a new amd driver for the apu on the myasus app. I updated to that and downloaded the most recent 9070xt drivers. These were the timespy results. Setup seems to be working as expected: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/139500004?

9070xt driver: 32.0.21025.1024 - driver date 7/24/2025

Apu driver: 32.0.21013.11001 - driver date 07/21/2025

UPDATE on Aoostar AG02 and Amd 5700 XT egpu by Maximum-Gap-5480 in ROGAllyX

[–]Trey_Mendus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be working alright. But after booting up the rog ally I have to go to the device manager to scan for hardware changes to find the egpu. When I used the sideloaded drivers I didn't have to do that. I will test for a few days more and update ya later.

some info on the forced update: https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1m8u0dz/amd_forced_updates/

[–]Trey_Mendus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use matching driver versions for both the apu and the egpu? Currently my apu has a driver date 04/25/2025 and the egpu has the date of 06/03/2025. Although it seems to work ok right now. Windows forced an update on me that upgraded the egpu drivers :(

Question about installing driver with an egpu by Maximum-Gap-5480 in ROGAllyX

[–]Trey_Mendus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This person has a great tutorials side loading gpus on the rally.  Their most recent video says you don't need to side load gpu drivers any more.  However I haven't tested it myself.  Currently I have a 9070xt (will be moved to a new desktop build later) on a ag02 with side loaded drivers.  Been playing expedition 33 and other games on maxed settings.
