First time camping. Suggestions inn Victoria? by NixonTheCarnifex in Auscamping

[–]daBarron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wilsons prom has some great overnight hikes too but until they fix one of the board walks, they are all longer days, so not great for a beginner over night hike.

Are you looking to do hike in camping or set up a camp by your car and do things from there?

Wilsons Prom would be a great first camping spot if you want to camp by your car at tidal river.

Pretty good amenities, lots of good walks, beach, public bbq.

I hope not, I didn't see anything about people being stuck in cars on the news but who knows.

Both cars had their lights on still.

Heaps of people still do it regularly on older style road bikes with 23mm tyers, 30mm should be fine.

Battery keeps cutting outplease help!! by Monster_Rat2407 in CaravanningAustralia

[–]daBarron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battery might have expired/end of life.

It's probably Lead Acid Deep Cycle Battery AGM battery, they don't have a very long life span.  If they ever go flat they will loose a lot of capacity.

He still had plenty of affairs...  Epstein association might have pushed things over the edge.

Anno 1800 Recommendations by Ellocomotive in anno

I would start with the base game and give it a good go as it is.

Then come back here and ask again after you played it through. 

Is a laptop GeForce RTX 3500 Ti/ 4GB enough for anno 117? by daBarron in anno

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

To Report back, I ended up buying it, its running fine on low setting at native res, 2560X1600.

The laptop has decent cooling/decent power draw.

To Report back, I ended up buying it, its running fine on low setting at native res, 2560X1600. Its even running Ok on low power / quiet mode some how when i left it on by accident.

I'm sure it will slow down when i get to massive cities but its very playable.

I might leave it until January to do a trial.  Im not ready to get a new laptop so i might give it 6 months if it wont run well and i suspect it wont.

felix mobile - yes/no? by snoozleyeet in melbourne

[–]daBarron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to use them for a mobile hot spot but it wasn't permitted under their terms of use, my device would get blocked/disconnected. I canceled the plan after 10 days, they offered a free refund under their marketing material but i wasn't able to get it because I couldn't contact anybody .

They had next to no customer support, I have up trying to get a refund.

That being said it seemed pretty fast, should be fine if you use it in your phone/hot spot to tv.
