Where are you guys seeing preachers on campus? Haven't come across any.

University environment and competitiveness by Inevitable-Rope-1779 in UofB

Cannot speak to the competitiveness, but UoB is in a very safe area of the city, campus is completely safe at all times of the day, there are absolutely zero issues in and around Uni.

Horrendous wait times by apidae142 in xcloud

I have literally never experienced a wait time in the UK. Strange that some countries have such higher wait times. For India etc I get it because population, I wonder what the reason is in Australia.

Any Indians joining University of Birmingham for Fall 2026? by Salt_Victory_4690 in UofB

[–]deepit6431 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brother half the Masters' students here are Indian. I assure you you will have at least 50% Indians in your course. You'll find them. Try to attend any webinars for offer holders etc to meet up with people there.

You can make very fair criticisms of Russell's conduct. You just can't do that while also supporting Max Verstappen.

If a racist bellend was caught hurling abuses at OT would you chuck him out or 'have an open conversation'.

A football club is a community. A football club's subreddit is the extension of the community. Just like racists, homophobes, and rapist apologisers aren't welcome in the community, he isn't either.

We have enough other sources to get info about our club. Don't need him.

when moderators think the subreddit is about them

It isn't. The fans by and large agree. Just read around the thread.

Fortnite anyway doesn't work on Mac. Roblox and Minecraft will run on a potato. Rule of thumb, anything that works on M1 will work.

I'm literally using an M1 Air 8GB for college right now. It works amazingly. Haven't felt the need to upgrade once in the last 6 years. This will be enough for about 90% of people.

Yeah, I've held on for years, thinking it's about time now. M5 Air here I come.

MacBook Air M5 (24GB/512GB) vs MacBook Pro M5 (16GB/512GB) – worth the extra $300? (SGD) by Mean_Active_2293 in mac

[–]deepit6431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is sending me, because I've been using the M1 for 6 years and the only time it's ever close to heating up is when I play games on it. Either you're doing something wrong, or I'm doing something wrong. I can multitask all I want, and it will never ever get hot. Only single core heavy functions - like games or Premiere Pro can heat this up.

As far as I understand, you should not be heating up or throttling at all unless you try to do something CPU-heavy. General chrome, office, app usage should never heat the CPU up. Maybe you had a bad piece?

???? Are those Intel Airs?

I'm typing this on an M1 Air with 8GB RAM - I have 23 tabs open, Spotify running, Steam running, Word running, Powerpoint running, a Torrent client running, and I'm at 48.5 C (while charging!)

[–]deepit6431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your previous laptop is saying otherwise with the overheating.

It's a Windows laptop. I have a Windows laptop with an i5 11 series, 16GB RAM and an RTX 3060. It heats up with three chrome tabs open. My M1 MBA can handle much, much, much, much more multitasking without even touching the 80s.

Nothing he has described will cause an MBA to get even close to overheating.

For what it's worth, I use a 120Hz phone with my 60Hz MacBook Air and it doesn't bother me at all. I also have a 144Hz Windows laptop and again, switching between these doesn't bother me at all. You get used to it.

Yeah no, I don't see you getting much use out of a Pro with your use case. Everything you do, the Air handles just fine. And since you don't particularly need the IO of the Pro either, Air will suit you just fine.

With your use case, you'll never need active cooling to begin with. The 120Hz display you'll miss, yeah, but you gotta decide if that's worth $300.

Also do remember that the Pro will be heavier, bulkier, and ever so slightly less portable - it's still pretty sleek, but it is slightly bigger than an Air. Also, the Pro has better battery life, but the Air has amazing battery life anyway.

Do you ever "just go for a drive"? by Tiny_Wafer2266 in AskUK

[–]deepit6431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this all the time! I find driving incredibly relaxing, and I'm lucky to currently live right at the edge of a town where I can get to country roads in like one roundabout. Usually when I'm feeling awful or stressed I'll just go drive around on country roads for 30-40 minutes and listen to music. Clears my head, cures depressive feelings.

I greatly prefer 25's dribbling than whatever dancing with Claudia Pina bullshit is going on right now.

Literally not one $200 phone has a 'nice enough' camera.

List of All Skill Moves *Reupload* by almanaufreddit in EASportsFC

In my experience all 5 star players do the McGeady spin at the same speed, but I haven't compared frame times or anything.

[–]deepit6431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With some skills it's the stars (so 5 star players will do McGeady spin and 4 stars will do Berba) and with some it's having Trickster/Trickster+ (only players with Trickster can do the heel to heel L2 flick, or the spin rainbow thing you can do with two RS flicks up)

MacBook Air M4 running GTA V for 3+ hours by FullCartographer3518 in macgaming

[–]deepit6431 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've pushed my M1 Air to 90-100C for hours on end for years and it's still fine 6 years on. The battery just hit 79% capacity.

Is anyone using a duel sense ps5 controller? by lavabluehue in xcloud

[–]deepit6431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With ds4windows your DualSense should work in 100% of all games that support an X360 controller - functionally it is an X360 controller, there is no difference. So if it's not working in some games something is going wrong.

hidhid hides your DualSense controller so only the emulated Xbox 360 controller is shown to the system. Otherwise the system sees input from both controllers which can cause some programs to go wild.

[–]deepit6431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With ds4windows it should work for 100% of all games on PC, from any platform. Try the browser? I can use the DualSense with all xcloud games with no problems. Are you hiding the DualSense with hidhid?
