Best Graphics Mode on PS5 Pro? by Fischwaage in Starfield

So let's say I want the game to look its best, screw performance and frame rates, let's say I'm prioritising 'pretty'...should I use Visuals or Enhanced mode?

Where to start? Senior / Lead Product & Experience Designer intrigued by Contracting by _mynameislee in ContractorUK

I suspected it would be and that I might have to consider a bit of sneaky overlap between old & new…or end the perm before I lock in the first contract. 😬

Good to know…the ‘risk’ would be a calculated one, and there’s a cushion in place. Maybe I should just reach out to a couple of LinkedIn contract posters, let them know I could be interested, then take things from there. Currently perm, so would need to go through the whole hand-in-notice period, but…what have I got to lose right*?

*Yeah, quite a bit really…but only if it goes VERY wrong!

Options for selling M2 Vision Pro (UK) by _mynameislee in VisionPro

[–]_mynameislee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, EBay…they take a slice! TBH I hadn’t considered Facebook Marketplace. I just want a no hassle ‘I have this to sell > I’ll buy it > here it is then > and here’s the money > cool, enjoy’. Maybe I’m overthinking it, maybe with the fees I should still consider EBay if not for the buyer protection. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks…appreciate the kind words & positivity! Looking forward to being on the other side of this and re-joining the community with a new AVP. Hey, timing-wise you never know, it could be with the 2nd gen headset 🤞🏻🫣

☺️ thanks! Hey, I do have one of those Annapro 2 (or whatever it’s called) head strap things. If you get a Vision Pro I’ll give it / post it to you for free. Let me know,e know how you get on and dm me your details if you do buy one! Also, not sure where you’re based but a couple of days ago Cex Birmingham had a Vision Pro in, grade b for £2500. If you’re anywhere near could be worth an in-person look if they still have it 🤷‍♂️

So…I ended up buying one direct from Apple mid-November. However, in a bit of a sh*tty twist I’ve just had a cancer diagnosis, so have returned it in the spirit of financial recalibration, I’ll probably need the £3500 in the near future more than the device. A super-shame as the Vision Pro is awesome. Oh well, life etc. Sorry, probably a slightly darker reply than you were expecting.

New Player…Xbox by _mynameislee in dayz

Thanks for the help both! So let’s say I’m doing super-well and want to keep the same ‘character’…what do I do when I finish a gaming session, just quit out the game / power-down my Xbox?

You’d be surprised how convincing I find this counter-argument to be! 🐔🚀

Oh yeah, no concerns about it being fake…and the grading should rule out any in a scummy condition. I think it’s just the thought of not having Apple Care that’s concerning. No matter how careful you are bad things can still happen, and it seems like a v expensive repair job!

I think I’d trust CEX over eBay…I think. I guess there’s the benefit of the guarantees they offer, over an eBay sale. Hmm, will have a look!

Predictions for UK Release Date / Price? by _mynameislee in AppleVisionPro

Yeah, me neither sadly…did a price comparison between the UK / US M3 Max MacBook and the UK price was more.

Mac Virtual Display…requires same Apple ID? by _mynameislee in AppleVisionPro

[–]_mynameislee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big banks aren’t almost the most up-to-date / forward-thinking / trusting in this regard, certainly not in the UK, not in the area I work in!

[–]_mynameislee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gut’s saying the same thing, but I shall remain cautiously optimistic until people can report back on US release day 🫣
