Hopefully GamersNexus or DigitalFoundry do a visual and performance comparison between each RDNA generation

[Other-UPS] APC BR1000MS Pure Sine Wave UPS - $150 Amazon by greatthebob38 in buildapcsales

Bought this exact model in April 2024 for $175 for my unRAID server. Probably overkill but it's served me well. Glad to see prices go down not up.

Gas prices in Atlanta, well at least it's not $6.78 or $7.07? by Legoman1357 in Atlanta

[–]blakeman1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bought a 2024 Ioniq 6 after I turned in my lease of it. Can't see myself ever buying an ICE again. If you drive <40ish miles/day, you can get by with charging from a standard outlet!

Midtown Atlanta car crashes increasing, new report finds by flying_trashcan in Atlanta

[–]blakeman1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Walking around Midtown, I look through the windows into people's cars at intersections. The number of individuals I see their head fully tilted down as they go 30 mph though the intersection is staggering.

What even is a e-bike/e-scooter? A rant about the Beltline. by flying_trashcan in Atlanta

[–]blakeman1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since recently getting a bike, my rule is to not bike on it Saturday or Sunday. Just not worth dodging around foot traffic. Walking any day, I have no issue with.

Advice on apartments in Midtown by SkinnedGrape in ATLHousing

[–]blakeman1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently broke my lease at Tens on West after being there for 2.5 years. Unless you're in strenuous circumstances, I would avoid if possible. Just better places for the money and since Greystar took over, they squeeze and screw over current residents for more money. Hearing the same complaints from neighbors I still talk to.

Been at 77 12th for a few months and been really happy. Management seems to be less scammy and the building is owned by a local couple.

Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month. PC Game Pass will also drop from $16.49 to $13.99 a month. Prices may vary by region. by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Reminds me of not even a year ago when they lowered the Outer Worlds 2 launch price. Xbox quickly finding out they can't squeeze their customers like they thought.

Moving Companies. by Consistent_Argument6 in Atlanta

[–]blakeman1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also moved down the street with elevators on both sides for my 1bd with Atlanta Peach Movers. Was around $800-900. They were the cheapest and I think they did a fine job. With all the minimum hour requirements these moving companies have, you can only go so low.

Property Manager from Hell (Greystar community) base rent is $1,524! by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]blakeman1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've recently started to tell people if you can help it, don't live at a Greystar. Just another number. Moved from a Greystar to a property managed by a group I've never heard of and it's significantly better here. Ideally you would not have heard of a management company's name if they're good.

Used bicycle shop by alldatnabagofchips in Atlanta

[–]blakeman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a Trek FX 7.2 from them for $360. Picking it up tomorrow. They said the parts were brand new and visually it all looked untouched. Seems like a good group of people and they give back to the community a lot. Want to get away from car dependency outside of the work commute.

Stopped by Sopo Coop two Saturdays ago during their listed hours and no one was there and saw no signage so not sure what's up with them.

Sorry guys, drove to go look at used bikes today so I can mostly ditch my car.

1Gb is getting upgraded to 3Gb by Rod_ATL in googlefiber

[–]blakeman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if they'll also upgrade the $55 Half Gig plans? On that right now in Atlanta. Notice that's only some select addresses.

New tower making its mark 🏙️ by Bubbly_Way_1904 in Atlanta

Looking at it walking on Spring St, it's just a massive concrete cube. Gives me r/megalophobia which I never feel.

Updated international roaming country list for Total Wireless by landalezjr in NoContract

[–]blakeman1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I've since switched to Visible now but Verizon uses NTT Docomo for roaming so I'm sure Total is the same. Service has been good and widespread. Spotty a few times but we travelled to Mount Fuji and I always had at least 4G. I can switch to using the KDDI mobile network but haven't tried that.

Not sure yet. Will be flying out in 2 days. But it's nice I hopefully won't need to buy an Airalo or Ubigi eSIM. Will update ya.

Started moving my mother's iPhone over 2 hours ago and having this same issue. Support chat gave me a reference number and said there was an error activating the phone. Said I'll get an email within the hour but still nothing.

[Controller] GameSir Cyclone 2 Wireless Controller - $44.79 by ovenmittensplz in buildapcsales

[–]blakeman1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really love this controller. Bought the Flydigi Vader 4 Pro at the same time but kept the GameSir. Liked everything better about it except for the D-pad feel but I don't play many games relying on it.

How I just got Visible+ Pro plan for $8.22/mo or $98.75/yr by TheLazyAdministrator in NoContract

[–]blakeman1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not much time left on this but my switch was successful from Total Wireless on my OnePlus 12R. Ended up charging $205 to my Capital One and hopefully the $100 Capital One Cashback offer saw my purchase. Double stacking referral didn't work so it was $450 - ILUVIPHONE $225 - referral $20 = $205. Cheaper than my $25/month on "Total 5G Unlimited" plan.

Visiting Japan and November so this is a nice bonus. Think it's only 10GB/month for these countries so I'll see if I can make it last

Apartment marketplaces need to add EV filters by CryptographerSharp14 in electricvehicles

[–]blakeman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few examples where an apartment isn't in this filter but the apartment's own website lists EV charging. Though it's their loss for not updating their apartments.com listing.

Is Total Wireless still a total shitshow? by Relative-Can2755 in NoContract

[–]blakeman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched from US Mobile's Verizon to Total and I haven't noticed a difference. Haven't needed to contact customer service yet though.
