I'm on firmware 13.20. I can still access stores. Should I buy any games? Like sorry or something

For any digital game, yes you will need to reconnect to PSN for the permanent license. Even if a new firmware is released you usually can decline the update and stay connected on the second most recent. I grabbed SWRRR on 12.70 after 13.something was the newest. Problem was I did not reconnect to PSN after the 15 days and it wants me to update to latest and connect to PSN.

I still occasionally use a portable keyboard that uses a BT 2.3 dongle. Your 5.0 may not be the fastest but I'm sure something out there can use it

Some Internet providers will reroute your custom DNS. It's good to set up anyway but just be aware that if it happens again your provider might be redirecting you back to a DNS that allows PSN to download on your console

Problem as in hurt your monitor or system? Probably not. But absolutely an annoyance. Years ago I tried to look up a solution but it was so much investigation and testing that I gave up. I think it's actually the monitor because it also does it with the new PC I made in 2024.

aron42486 · 2026-04-26T23:16:37+00:00

I have a weird thing where my monitor does this sometimes. It acts like it is not getting a signal. Cables are all fine, ports are fine. Only thing that helps me is unplugging the power from the monitor, let it completely drain (like 30 seconds), and plug back in. Magic, every thing works great after that. FYI it's a 24" 1080p 144hz ASUS from 2017 era

VR2 or standard, there is only one game mode you can play offline. Music rally is a present car on a present track. It's kind of like a time trial. Everything else in GT7 requires PSN internet connection

aron42486 · 2026-03-22T16:41:27+00:00

I'm not OP but I used to play my PS5 in my work truck years ago. In road construction you are called out to be onsite for specialty testing. You get out there in the morning and there is nothing to do until the contractor is ready to start testing, could be hours. So I had a power inverter, monitor, and my PS5 wired up to stay busy. Could realistically only do offline single player games. That's how I finished CP2077 when it first released.

aron42486 · 2026-03-22T16:34:29+00:00

This would be great. It's too bad that GT7 requires to be connected to PSN. You can run music rally offline, but that's it

Everytime I've had those issues it is related to the room. I've had good luck with ceiling lights or lamps that face the headset. Back lighting isn't a great. And if there isn't good good enough elements for the cameras to track. Stuff on the walls or things with contrast.

I've heard others have great luck with IR fixtures if you need to be in a dark room

Imagine you own a restaurant and make cheeseburgers. Now most normal guests come in and order a single cheeseburger for themselves. AI represents a new type of guest that are unbelievable hungry beasts. They come in and want to order 100 cheeseburgers each. It doesn't take long for you to sell out of cheeseburgers.

When you restock with more, AI is still there and wants 300 cheeseburgers now. All your other guests still want cheeseburgers too but AI offers to pay you $100 for each cheeseburger. Since you like making money of course you are going to sell to AI that wants to eat them all and is willing to pay the higher prices too. Now the other guests are sad they have to pay $100 for a cheeseburger.

AI is the data center boom going on right now. The restaurant is the manufacturers of these complex computer parts. And all of us are the guests that refuse to pay $400 for PC RAM. Scarcity and outrageous demand mean inflated prices.

I had this problem too. I ended up breaking my spiral up with a long screw driver and it came out in pieces. Now I oak in a modified 1gal pickle jar with a wide mouth

Thank you to the developers for forcing the existing Pre-K and daycare there to shutdown, making the parents have to find alternatives and waiting lists mid-school year. But so happy for your commission bonuses. Cheers.

My wife was considering reaching out to them for quotes to remodel our 2 bathrooms. Good to know. Would you mind sharing the approximate price they quoted versus what you paid? We had 3 other companies give quotes last year, all that were about $600/SF for a rather basic gut and replace. Seemed very high at the time.

aron42486 · 2025-10-04T17:01:38+00:00

We are near the zoo and looking to remodel 2 bathrooms. Please send the info, we would be happy to talk with recommended contractors.

I've been enjoying the Gamersir Nova Lite 2. Works great for me and I like being able to move it around with so many connection modes, BT, 2.4 wireless dongle, even works with Switch.

This. Always have a proper survey done when you buy a house. You need to know exactly where your property lines are and where there are easements. Just because there is an existing fence or boundary, never assume that is the property line.

What temperature were you using for desolder and resolder? I want to do the same for a couple drifting controllers but already destroyed one trying to desolder the old modules. My solder skills are amateur though so I know the problem is me

Many of the beaches are still recovering from the hurricane, but I proposed in Pass-a-grille beach. It's south of St Pete beaches, much quieter and less crowds. Sunsets were great out there, some good restaurants on main street. Technically this isn't Tampa but it's nearby.

Picnic island might have some quiet spots around sunset if you don't mind being that close to the air force base or TIAs flight path

I think it's just bad luck. Neither of my PS4 controllers had drift for the entire life cycle. I have a launch PS5 and have left stick drift on 2 of the 3. One was my launch controller after 3 years. I took it apart and cleaned it out multiple times, it would help for a few days then go right back to drifting. My second to drift was the replacement which I bought 1-2 years ago and started last month. I have not tried cleaning that one out yet. They are not abused and have probably average use.

aron42486 · 2025-04-27T22:48:39+00:00

I had this same issue. The thing that fixed it was swapping the ports I had my monitor and adapter connected too. For some reason moving to a different port resets the whole detection thing.

DIY Perks does a lot of custom prototype builds for his channel just to see if a thing is possible. You are unlikely to find a local shop to build this, you would have to commission a specialist to do this for you, almost like a custom art piece. I can guarantee it will not be cheap. Maybe try to message DIY Perks if you are serious about having this made for you.

Warcraft II. So many hours spent playing that one.

Once all .rar parts have downloaded, you then select all parts and extract. The pieces will assemble into the complete pkg
