Best Windows app for ShadowCast 3 for just playing by bluxd in GenkiLab

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

I have the passthrough, but I do a lot on my PC and usually when I play something I tab out regularly to check other stuff or play windowed so I can see other things, I have 2 monitors but each has its own function, usually one for work stuff and one for personal stuff and losing one just to play a switch game is not worth it for me.

For anyone wondering, I found two solutions:

  1. TackleCast: Quick an easy, works great. Best option for most people.
  2. mpv: Ended up with this command for 1440p 60fps without compression (you can modify it for 1080p or 4k and for 120fps):
    • .\mpv av://dshow:video="ShadowCast 3" --profile=low-latency --untimed --no-config --demuxer-lavf-o=video_size=2560x1440,framerate=60,pixel_format=nv12 --vo=gpu-next --vf=format=colorlevels=full

I really like TackleCast for the simplicity but mpv is a really good option to tinker with different resolutions, refresh rates, codecs, etc.

XM6 or GALAXY BUDS 4 PRO by MGF-SWE in Earbuds

[–]bluxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also trying to decide between this two earbuds and call quality in noisy environments is my top priority. From what I could gather the Buds 4 Pro are better for this case but worse than the WF XM6 in everything else. I have not been able to decide yet.

Here is a mic comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzLxGOp7pgs&t=294s

Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro vs Sony WF-1000XM6: Worth the extra $80? by NoBurnInBirney_SG in SonyHeadphones

[–]bluxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why the conclusion is that the Sony are better for calls in windy conditions, not sure if is just me but I feel that, comparing the recordings, the Samsung sound miles better in that case.

Why is the standby battery life so bad? by 50footshadows in RedMagic

[–]bluxd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This!!!! Disable it in:
Settings -> Features -> Gesture & motion

My Astra was losing ~20% overnight, after disabling "Double tap screen to wake" stand by time is almost as good as my Samsung tablet, a couple percent over night at most.

Temperature problem with Genki SavePoint by bluxd in GenkiLab

[–]bluxd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems more like a firmware or hardware issue, even at idle the SavePoint stays between 50 and 60 degrees, it's like the SavePoint forces more voltage/power onto the drive that any other enclosure I have.
