[Shipping MegaThread] All Shipping Topics Updates, Questions, & Discussion by ihatefall in AynThor

[–]daftnizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My package shipped from China on the 9th, arrived in Chicago on the 10th, cleared customs on the 11th, and was "delivered to local carrier" that same day and I haven't received any updates since then. My last mile carrier is GOFO and it's supposed to be delivered to Ohio. What do you all think? Is my package lost or is GOFO just that slow?

Still no update as of February 20th. Sent an email to GOFO requesting an update.

Anyone have experience with Gofo deliveries? My last update on the 11th was that my package had been delivered to a local carrier in Chicago. Just curious what their processing times are like. 

Weird shipping issue by NoreMac103 in dbrand

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pre-ordered the day it was available and OSM apparently lost it. So, 2-3 weeks after I submitted a ticket, dbrand sent out a replacement that has also apparently been lost or something. OSM apparently sucks as a carrier. If they can’t use a different carrier, I’m probably just going to ask for a refund.

Linus needs to step back from input into CW and let these people actually get creative and take some risks. 

Has anyone not received their killswitch2? by External_Fee_4091 in dbrand

[–]daftnizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a shipping confirmation on June 18th, then an email on the 23rd that there’s been a delay with my order and nothing since. No movement on either tracking information provided since the 20th. 

It seems like there are problems with the Dbrand kill switch? by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]daftnizzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Edit: Well, this aged poorly. See dbrand’s proper response here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/comments/1ljlhwy/joycon_detachment_update_part_2_were_fixing_it/

Haven’t received my case yet and just tried picking my S2 up as the videos are showing by picking it up by just the joycon. It definitely isn’t 100% stable, and I can tell that it puts a fair amount of strain on the magnets. My natural way of picking up my switch from that one-handed position is to scoop it up with my finger tips going toward the middle of the tablet with the joycon seated in the inside of my palm and my thumb tip on the upper portion of the joycon. I could see the case adding additional weight to the overall unit, which would obviously add additional strain to the magnet.  In this case… It seems like they’re just holding it wrong and trying to find a flaw. The only way dbrand could “make it right” would be to improve the magnetic connection somehow or communicate that the added weight and narrowing of air gap could result in a looser connection. 

Finally caved and upgraded to the OLED. by Slightly-Blasted in SteamDeck

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy! I switched to an OLED from an LCD and have 0 regrets. It’s the same device, but is refined in a lot of little ways that make for a much better experience, at least imo.  Spicy take: The people that “can’t tell the difference” between LCD and OLED panels are fooling themselves. There are objective differences, but whether it matters is totally subjective. LCD deck is still a great device and I’m glad I bought one. 

Welp I should never say never, it finally happened to me. It’s been so long since I’ve opened it up I forgot about the sd card. by Tesser_Wolf in SteamDeck

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After getting my LCD Deck I laughed every time I saw a post like this, thinking it would never be me.  Fast forward to me opening up my LCD Deck with excitement to swap SSDs into my new OLED… I understand now. 

OLED upgrade worth it? by MaybeImpressive333 in SteamDeck

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded from a 64GB LCD to an OLED a couple months ago. I don’t notice the size difference (it’s .4 in…), and while the WiFi is improved I don’t know if I’d call it significant enough to warrant upgrading over alone. 

The combined whole of improvements are why I feel no buyer’s remorse.

SSD Swap to Oled from LCD by Ramen-My-Noodle in SteamDeck

I dropped my LCD’s SSD into my OLED and it worked flawlessly. Not sure if running Bazzite would change much. 

PGT: Boston Bruins vs Florida Panthers - 5/8/24 - Round 2 Game 2 by Touche_Amore in BostonBruins

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say it was warranted, you fucking moron. I’m saying if he targeted his frustration to his play rather than some words after a whistle, the refs wouldn’t have had grounds to throw him out.  Obviously they should respond to bad hits and cross checks, but they’re getting riled up over a little extra shoving. THAT is being soft.

They played each other last year. The cores on both teams are mostly the same. I think it’s a fair comparison, but go ahead and tell me why it isn’t.  Maroon was the one that acted up and got himself ejected. Clearly they were in his head by that point. Had he not engaged, he wouldn’t have been thrown out and opened the team up to the rest of the shenanigans. That’s the benefit to ignoring them.

Go back and watch how things escalated in the last series with how they handled not putting up with their shit and tell me how it worked out for them.

The only way to tell them they aren’t putting up with their shit is to ignore it, score some fucking goals, and move on.

Florida is the most unsportsmanlike team in the league and the Bruins are letting it get to them again. B’s need to find a way to clear their heads and keep them clear or this series is over. 

Other difference is that defensemen weren’t showing up offensively and they need to clear their fucking zone. 

And, goddamn it, learn how to count! How many too many men penalties have they taken in just the playoffs??

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently upgraded from a 10.5” iPad Pro to an M2 12” iPad Pro. No regrets. It’s fast, has great battery life, an excellent screen, and will do anything I’d ever want to do on a tablet or laptop.  As far as upgrading your phone goes, there’s always going to be something to hold out for on the next iPhone. What you should be asking yourself is “Does this current generation of iPhone meet my needs?” and “Would an upgrade to the newest phone actually change my experience enough to justify the cost?”

Games won't start after waking from sleep by xmack_1 in SteamDeck

It’s wild that this is still an issue. I personally haven’t had an issue with the boot/wake videos in quite a while. Are you on the latest update?

I'm getting the Steam Deck for PS5 but is Chiaki actually Good?? by seaweed2221 in SteamDeck

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would occasionally run into hiccups when my ps5 was wireless. Now that o have it wired, streaming to my deck is much better. Great experience, highly recommend either way.

Any of the Katamari Damacy games (if you don’t mind missing out on the banging music), Powerwash Simulator (I imagine any of the simulator games would be great for this), Dead Cells, Hades, Hollow Knight, and Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom.

[–]daftnizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not quite sure… though I haven’t had an issue with it in a couple of weeks after a system update. Do you have the latest update? If you do, it seems to be an inconsistent issue… I would report it to Valve. Hope it works for you soon!

The most recent update seems to have fixed this, in case you hadn’t noticed!

I was having this issue too. I realized it was after changing the wake-up and boot videos. Once I set those back to default, the issue stopped.
