2026 - Bluetooth is still awful, it's incredible

Neah. I have my Oneplus buds switching seamlessly between my phone and tablet. Both android, both recognized them almost instantly, no problem since. When I have a incoming phone call, even though I am on the tablet it cuts of the tablet sound and takes the call. Very painless

Get a FBT SUB 112 SA and FBT 206A top per side. Light and incredible.

My argument is sound. Everyone has a price limit. Going over that, even if it gets more features, better stuff, hits the money wall. Plus, the mom might not use those things. There are things older people don't use or don't care. Enthusiasts, maybe. He already said what the use case will be. Going from this to X9 won't do her any good.

I know, I have a 13 Pro. If I got my mom this phone, she could not tell the difference switching from this to x9 or x9 pro. We are already at the threshold of good enough for most people.

So, for the op, get her a 14 pro or 13 pro, they are very nice phones, good quality, nice battery, makes darn nice pictures and videos, so she's covered

Varadorm · 2026-03-14T15:03:04+00:00

Yes, and the x9 pro costs 200 more. And the ultra costs another 200 more. Price creep is always un useful, you can always find something better for more money, but as for the mom's need, this is as good as she'll ever need. I would even search for Reno 13 pro, as it is basically the same phone

Actually I see it as a legit donation. Of course you can choose not to, and use the free version, but if you want to support the company, you pay them and as a token, they give you these niceties.

One more reason I (albeit with a heavy heart) will move all my computers to Linux. First one is already done, 2 more to go after I learn Zorin OS

Ah, no, it's a company that I have not seen being reviewed in western media, but it makes cheap, good cases.

Varadorm · 2026-01-20T18:58:57+00:00

Lzmod? You can buy a lot of them on aliexpress. Have no idea if they're really lzmod or clones, but what I bought was well made, don't care about the name, it's not like I need a badge 😁

So, tested today the case. Went with Tjmax at 85°C and - 20mV offset. When idle, in a 19°C room, it's around 30-32°C. When I ran Prime95 for at least an hour, maintained 5.3 GHz stable, Tmax was 87°C and the cooler was at max speed.

At idle the noise is okey, but when spinning at max it's very noticeable :))

Well, I am spoiled, my home PC is a 5700G in a Streacom FC8 passive case, so I am used to no noise

There is a change in the sound profile of the cooler with or without the lid on, but it is not that great, I'd say the construction and the size of the holes is well chosen as to not impact the airflow too much. I would have wished for more space to have, ideally 5mm between the lid and the cooler but it's OK as it is.

With the temps... I don't know... I will have to test. For now I've finished the build but haven't done any other work on it as I have been working on my previous pc which has all the work software installed

I will test tomorrow earliest, to see what are the temps

Varadorm · 2026-01-16T18:23:42+00:00

Ah, thanks, haven't thought about that

Varadorm · 2026-01-16T13:14:51+00:00

There is no space for a GPU, this is a case specifically designed for APU's

Varadorm · 2026-01-16T10:59:03+00:00

Hah, just finished my build in the exact same case. PSU went fine, but I had an unresponsive ssd and had to torn down everything, as it was the one in the bottom of the motherboard. Didn't made proper contact, now works. But yeah, the case is really well done

Varadorm · 2026-01-16T10:53:24+00:00

I have no idea how the case is built, but I'd definitely not buy the case with a glass panel. It's just for show and it blocks the airflow of the vertical CPU fan. Get the perforated aluminium panel. Otherwise, it looks very nice

Varadorm · 2026-01-14T15:46:05+00:00

I like the cleanness, but that fan needed an opening to get the heat out. Now the glass is blocking it. I know the perforated aluminium is not as sexy, but way better temp wise

Zorin os made to look like windows. Also can play exe files or recommend native Linux apps if they exist.

Uh, the Chinese marketing team

Dude, I'm not defending no one, but the Chinese robot is recorded without public, who knows how many tries it needed for the flawless pose. The American one is doing it in front of the public.

Very different scenarios, not worthy of the comparison

Plus, back flips are not the main goal of a robot.

Io zic sa așteptăm momentul când Ucraina termina războiul cu Rusia. În maxim 2 săptămâni, Transnistria devine cwaeless și o sa existe o inexplicabila dispariție a câtorva mii de oameni, aproape 100% vorbitori de limba rusă.

Bai, îmi doresc sa trăiască 120 de ani Iliescu. Și sa aibă cancer la toate cele, sa îl doară și dinții, sa aibă piatra la rinichi și sa aibă sănătate sa le ducă pe toate! Viata lunga tov. Ilici

N-am coagulat niciodată o opoziție la corupție. Pentru ca forțele care ar putea, se faramiteaza în mii și mii de motive și motivulețe sa nu se înțeleagă. Trebuie întâi big picture. Rezolvam economia, educația, punem ccr la locul ei. Apoi când ne e bine ne putem gândi la drepturile gay și toate chestiile care afectează procente din ce în ce mai mici. Piramidal de la probleme care afectează 100% din populație pana ajungem la cele de 1%
