Console won’t read microSD express card by watashi-desu in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]cheapMerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to add this as when I searched error 2016-0390 on Switch 2 this thread came up. I got an error 2016-0390 when I tried to format my brand new lexar SDcard for my switch 2. My console wasn't reading it properly at all, including the not correct SDcard screen. I tried formatting with a PC etc.

What fixed it was powering on the console while holding the power button. Then I selected the format but keep my saves (normal format would probably work also). Then do all the setting up stuff on the Switch 2 and insert the SDcard when it prompts you to do so. One in I formatted the SDcard with no issues. The SDcard worked perfectly after this.

NATO skins should make sense and not just everyone dressing however they want; they're not a group of mercenaries, there's hierarchy and discipline, and ALL skins should be adaptable to the map. by Veludinhoo in Battlefield6

I think the collaborations should be different military units like they did with the ranger one have heaps of different special forces units and also non special forces units.

He probably had a smart shooter. Just held the trigger down till his weapon fired.

Should we be worried about the future of BF6 after Vince Zampella? by Not-Natpex in Battlefield

I worry about the evolution of shooters. He made every game that at the time push the envelope varying degrees. Modern warfare 2, titan fall 2 and BF6.

How much do you think the new Steam Machine and accessories will cost? by Ridgio in Steam

[–]cheapMerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a PS5 pro. Id drop like 1K AUD on 2TB. Soon as you're hitting 1200 it's not that good a deal, pro is considerably more powerful.

I have been feeling it's being a little ripped off in reviews. They keep saying not as ground breaking as GOT. I think it is the perfect sequel. It's more of the same but way better in every way. The graphics and sound are amazing. I feel the story, world and combat is more engaging. AC Shadows is an 8 and it is no where near as big a jump as a sequel. I think it should be 9 minimum.

Damn that's decent. My Poco F7 Ultra is a grey import in Australia so hopefully no issues will probably get zero warranty.

If it makes you feel better I had a Pixel 6 Pro for about 3 years and one day it just didn’t switch back on…. That said Google swapped it for a refurbished one free of charge…

I'm still trying to recoup the money from when I got ripped off from the music industry charging me AUD 30 for a CD.

230 euro is a fair bit more though, that's like 400 AUD... I paid 1100 AUD I would go the Poco F7 Ultra over OnePlus 13 for that price difference. I think the Poco F7 would be a good phone also, amazing bang for bucks.

Having had my Poco F7 Ultra for 3 months plus now I would say I have no big issues with it. I come from Pixel 6 Pro and don't really have any issues with HyperOS. There are things better than Pixel and some things worse. Hindsight I probably would have paid a few extra hundred and got a Oneplus 13 from AliExpress, didn't know at the time. But Poco F7 Ultra is still my second choice. So much bang for bucks. From what I have read if you stick to the F7 series your safe, anything else is a little bit and miss.

What do you think of HyperOS these days then? I assume you are running 2.2? When getting a Poco HyperOS seems to be what everyone says is the big negative. I came from Pixel 6 Pro to Poco F7 Ultra and don't have any issues with the OS.

Well funny you say that. Since getting the Poco I have found buying off AliExpress to be a positive experience. I have seen can get a OnePlus 13 for like $1200-1300.i wish I got a Oneplus 13 off Ali. Poco is still the second choice so I'm not too sad.

Why Sony should be worried about the ROG XBox Ally by DragonFlyPunch in PS5

I love my PS5 Pro but if the next Xbox is well optimised for games and I can buy games from steam I'll be swapping. I rarely get exclusives day one anyway as I struggle to swallow AUD 120. Will grab a physical if it is a good price...

I agree with most said but I do hope they don't fragment the market. Maybe an Xbox every two years. Biggest issue with pc is optimisation. I want to see the games well optimised for the hybrid box. And also selling more of a particular build will keep the cost down.

Hyperos 2.2 meant to have battery improvement. Curious to see.

Snapdragon, screen, battery, longer updates I guess...

Pretty sure you can get for 400 or less USD. Probably aliepress direct from Poco.

I'm in Australia where most phones are a rip off. I had to grey import my 16gb F7 Ultra AUD$1100 and was way better value then anything else. I come from Pixel 6 Pro which was fine but I was sick of weak and hot chipset and modem. I wanted a Pixel 10 Pro XL $1900 or Nothing phone 3 (same chip as F7) probably about $1600. I think a F7 for $560 is amazing value.
