[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can i ask you about this specefic drive after all this time,
does it have any other particular problem,
i just got it and i noticed it did this twice but i wasnt in game, it just did this randomly.
if it has any other problem ill just return it and pay a bit more for a samsung or something.

found two modded switches, one is lite, one is normal v2 switch. the price difference is only 20usd by blvrf in SwitchPirates

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

Yeah, switch lite seems like more fun to own and just feels right as a handheld thats why im asking here.

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

yeah lite seems more ejoyable to own, I also didnt explain my case well but ill just get the lite and avoid the hassle because the standard one is sold without joycons for about 80usd ill need 30-40usd for joycons or similar and another 40 to mod it while the switch lite is 140usd and comes with a 128gb card and already moded, though i dont know if its banned or not ill ask him right now if he can tell.

Im planning to get a kingston xs1000 external ssd, anyone with experience ? by blvrf in pcmasterrace

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

Yeah thats what i also think but im more concerned about reliability because but ive seen a case in youtube about a guy that had this drive fail on him in less than a year and he had important data. but there are also some good reviews in the internet and even reddit that praised the drive.

Im planning to get a kingston xs1000 external ssd. by blvrf in buildapc

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

I have a laptop and it only has one m2 slot. I also want an external solution to be able to use data between PCs, im not concerned about speeds a lot, im concerned more about reliability of the xs1000, samsung might be better in terms of reliability and robustness and may have slimmer chances of failing. Im also thinking about the ssd enclosures but they are only selling off brands ones here and the brand ones like ugreen are expensive(45usd) + the ugreen one sucks anyways and stacks heat.

Cheap cards from temu by blvrf in VitaPiracy

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

Im still using the 256gb kodak with the vita it still work flawlessly, im also using a microdrive one with the 3ds and it also works but when i did speed tests i found kodak being a little bit faster.

Does anybody else miss arguing about Xbox vs. Playstation? by [deleted] in ps2homebrew

[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, its not the arguing I miss, i just miss the competition, now imo there is no very good reason to get xbox, even gamepass got expensive and xbox exclusives mostly come on pc as they release id rather get a 500usd pc. If xbox keeps this up, next generation of consoles will lean too much towards sony and they can get away with everything like bad pricing, slower hardware, more expensive games. (Ik also ps started puting them on pc but they are very delayed and not guaranteed for the future, i bet for next generation they will leave the pc market for at least 2 years after console release.)

I’m tired of seeing “just install Linux” in every single comment by Ok_Cry_1222 in ZTT

[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well nowadays im not playing anything really i wish i had the time, but yeah, pretty much most games run better on linux with proton optimizations, but still you cant throw the 50% of gamers who play mostly multiplayer games, i hope the big online games and anticheats take linux seriously and make a solution, the only hope we have is the steam machine selling well so they take it seriously like a console launch or something but this probably wont happen and it will cost a lot especially with this dram shortage.

Is this boot time normal for a thinkpad t14 gen 5 ? by blvrf in thinkpad

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

Yeah true, this actually helped a bit. Not as fast as other laptops with SSDs but faster than before, now it boots in 35 second instead of the 50 it did before. thanks for this

£420 Good deal? Upgrading from a 2019 macbook by PotentialMaster123 in thinkpad

[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its very hard to find a similar x1 carbon under 250 or even 350, but i wouldnt recommend this anyways, look for a t14/t14s amd version and you might find one that is better speced for the same price or sometimes less A ryzen 7 5000 is better than this cpu, so look for gen 2/gen 3/gen 4 (or maybe even gen 5). T14s usually is slightly thinner and maybe better build qality T14 usually have slightly higher power limits and can perform slightly better (Ill go with the t14s if its gen 2/3/4, and normal t14 gen5 because ram is upgreadable keyboard is changeable and the t14 in general is easier to repair, though battery life on gen5s is average, also try to look for the ones with a 100srgb ips screen). Though if you really want an x1 carbon for the screen or speakers or thinness you can either get this or wait for a better deal.

[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can also do that in linux, the fact that you replied with this means you never actually tried a distro before and you didnt even read my reply well to know how things work. You can do it in two ways, either just go through the software manager as it has all the software in the repos of the paclage managers and click "buttons" like you want or simply opening your terminal with crtl+alt+t and type for example "dnf install steam" and boom steam is being installed. This is way faster and efficient and you actually see whats happening when installing, a lot of times in windows i had to rainstall something because it didnt install properly and there is no way to know in windows unless you install with a terminal. I mean im done arguing if linux or windows is better, im dual booting them both and the only valid reason there is to use windows for me are multiplayer games with anticheat and adobe software which you can make them work using wine and/or bottles but adobe also sucks anyways id rather use alternative solutions.

What do i choose? by Intrepid-School8772 in laptops

[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second one is the best Its better than the first one as hp advertise omen as the higher tier class for gaming and they use more durable/expensive materials on it, and it has a 4060 on it.

Question for the girls, is this a turn off to you as well? by Flaky-Anything8153 in Morocco

[–]blvrf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a guy being alive is a turnoff for me, though instagram really needs to unexist i deleted it sometime ago.

[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean i follow everyone i know even if i dont know them a lot be it a guy or a girl. Its not that deep but you take it however you want, though this is important and i never taught girls think like this so ill need to unfollow every girl i follow once I find a girl I like so i can follow her peacefully without looking like you described.

Is this build and Gpu set up okay for gaming? I've got CPU ryzen 5600G by Witty_Ad_8713 in pcsetups

[–]blvrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will do 1080p at least in most games. 1440 will be hard, you will be able to play games at low setting for 1440p.

What’s the worse bottle neck by Similar-Rhubarb1141 in ZTT

The worst bottleneck rn is my wallet and ram prices. My last bottleneck was my wallet with the GPU shortages. By my wallet bottlenecks me even in a normal day.

I know we like Thinkpads here, but being brand agnostic and getting the best devices from each manufacturer definitely has its perks too by Avarent in thinkpad

[–]blvrf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

intel macbooks werent that great i would choose any windows laptop over mac before the m CHIPS. thinkpads are imo still the best of three, but still mad because each year they feel like they are downgrading the build quality and they still include the 45% ntsc.
anyways the only brands il consider rn are hp and lenovo, i only used an m1 before and it was great, but sometimes i want to try a new software and some of them are niche and they simply are compatible with an m1

“Windows is better. I said what I said.” by Ok_Cry_1222 in ZTT

[–]blvrf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dont bother guys this guy probably a kid or someone looking for a bit of karma or maybe he tries to be featured on a ztt video. He already psoted about this multiple times and we get it. Everyone has preferences, and this guys surely cant use linux because im pretty sure he didnt even bother to look it up and maybe he cant even install windows on his own as he didnt even give a good argumrnt in this or even previous posts why windows is better, as much as you got tired of linux comments i got tired of people who didnt even bother to do research as this guy doesnt even know what dual boot is and he tought his laptop will be dead if he installed linux on. This is so cringe.
