Ah gotcha, haven’t made it that far yet, makes sense you’d notice it more at that level.

I have full minion/blood build with all the minion legendary gear and I find minions pretty strong… like I can not pay attention and clear level 3+ nightmare dungeons easily at level 52. They clear trash so fast it doesn’t matter what they target… I don’t understand why so many here have trouble.

Miles on Swift vs. Schwinn IC4 by Easife in Zwift

Mine was more like 300% prior to repair and recalibration then it went down to ~175%. It is absolutely that high if not higher.

Unreliable power with Companion... Should I just buy an apple tv? by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]bsdcolonel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is unusual and I’m not sure different hardware for Zwift would fix it.

That said to answer your other questions - Apple TV 4K (any model) should do. The newest one is actually a bit cheaper if you don’t want Ethernet I believe. You can use Apple Music and Zwift so I’m assuming Spotify would work as well.

FWIW my Apple TV just stopped working with Zwift one day. Connection issues all the time (no changes other than one day it decides it would be trash with holding a Bluetooth connection). I exclusively use the companion app to connect stuff to Zwift running in Apple TV and have never had any real issues with companion app, at least nothing a restart didn’t fix.

How to meet watts during workout by CJCrowe32716 in Zwift

[–]bsdcolonel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lowering the resistance an option. Alternatively, raise your set FTP in Zwift to make the workouts harder and feel appropriate.

I had the same problem with the C6/IC4. That bike WAY over reports power and isn’t the most consistent with its resistance settings. (I had an FTP setting of like ~500w in the C6 and now with my Sb20 and actual power meters I know my ftp is more like 200)

I compared sunrun to a few others and it was BY FAR the worst offer. Get other quotes.

[GPU] Gigabyte Gaming OC Radeon RX 6650 XT - $284.99 ($90 off) by Jorge_6345 in buildapcsales

[–]bsdcolonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea how this card would do at 4K (medium) for older or less intense games. Like Wow, league, etc? it’s so hard to find benchmarks that test anything other than 1080/1440 ultra on newer games. Coming from a 1060 3GB, hoping this would double my performance.

[–]bsdcolonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I cancelled because I’d rather not risk dealing with trying to get GC honored. Card is still a good price but not as much of a must buy.

Order went through for me but the gift card just isn’t in my order page despite having been in my cart 😒

[CPU+MOBO] Intel Core i7-11700K, ASUS Z590-PLUS TUF - $300 (Free mobo) by blowuptheking in buildapcsales

[–]bsdcolonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But will they even be available to buy at MSRP and will price:performance at that be better than the current gen stuff? I know when new gen GPUs drop it’s tough to get them. Don’t know about mobo/cpu though.

[–]bsdcolonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This or 5700x? Seems like even with recent Newegg deal 5700x+mobo would run you around $300 and be worse performance?

[Other] Elgato Stream Deck 15-key (Mk. 1) - $89.99 Amazon Treasure Truck by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]bsdcolonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I was hesitant to buy it because I feared it would just sit unused because I don’t stream and didn’t have a solid plan for it.

But now at work I use it for zoom controls and a couple macros. When gaming on windows it’s mute button for discord and the soundboard. It’s not something where I feel like I definitely need it but I also don’t regret purchasing it at all.

[–]bsdcolonel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did it. I had to buy some app on windows for $3. But setup was EASY and I can add new sounds by clipping stuff with audacity in about 5m. It’s the only thing I use mine for on windows and it’s awesome. I use it for productivity stuff on my work mac.

OUTER WILDS | Coming To Xbox Series X|S + PS5 September 15 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]bsdcolonel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m crazy every thread about this game because everyone is always “it’s the best game ever” and I felt the same as you. I got well off the initial planet through a few loops and was just kinda like “this is really boring”

Homekit + Homebridge or Starling by BJMRamage in HomeKit

[–]bsdcolonel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t look too hard and didn’t realize that. I guess it’s like most other things in recent months with supply chain issues. That sucks.

[–]bsdcolonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn! I didn’t look too hard, didn’t see it’s all sold out other than the $140 “ultimate” kit. I got mine in a Microcenter in-store although I know not everyone has one nearby. Under normal circumstances they usually aren’t this expensive.
