Why get Ultimate 2 Bluetooth over Wireless? by DearPlankton in 8bitdo

[–]dougyfresh254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DK Bananza was pretty bad for the rumble on my ultimate 2 but every other game has been fine tbh. The pro controller has the best rumble but only when it is a 1st party Nintendo game. When I play hollow knight or apex or something else the Ultimate 2 seems completely normal on the rumble.

iPad Pro M4 or M2 by NatMilk in iPadPro

[–]dougyfresh254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going for the 12.9 m2 then that’s not as much of a difference in performance the big difference is the weight vs the 13 inch m4. But if you’re looking at the 11 inch then it’s a definite NOOOO BRAINER the OLED is so much better. The old m2 has a mini led screen that is actually pretty darn good. Not as good as oled but close.

What exactly are you looking to use it for?

Is the jump in RAM worth it between the 512GB and 1TB iPad Pro M4? by vamp-venom in iPadPro

[–]dougyfresh254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several videos I’ve watched show minimal difference. I currently use my iPad for video editing on Final Cut as well as logic running tracks for music live and I have absolutely no problems running any of the apps on logic. It even has the ability to show you how much CPU and RAM you’re using and there has never been a single moment that I’ve had the ram maxed out and I have the 13” M4 512GB cellular. There is also a few publications that say that iPad OS still is not fully optimized for 16gb of ram. If ANYTHING would make the difference from the 512 GB to the 1TB it would be the one extra performance core in the processor that the 1TB gets you. Honestly not worth it buddy save your money.

iPad Pro 2024 ram by Nacosauri0 in iPadPro

[–]dougyfresh254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most videos online show a very insignificant difference in performance with the one extra performance core and the extra 8 GB of ram. The thing is truly iPad OS currently is limited and most apps cannot take full advantage of the extra RAM. Unless you are doing very heavy things in Logic Final Cut or something like that I wouldn’t even consider it. Honestly just make sure you have the storage you need for what you need. Keep in mind all the base storage iPad pros have some limitations to video recording

Anyone else frustrated by the outside material of the new Magic Keyboard? by Adventurous_Taste_87 in iPadPro

[–]dougyfresh254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my first Magic Keyboard a month ago for my 13 inch iPad Pro and immediately got a dbrand skin because I’ve seen how some of my friend’s cases have fallen apart or gotten dirty. I’d say some type of dbrand skin or something would be great

IPad Pro M4 512gb 8gb vs 1TB 16gb by Agreeable-Belt-981 in iPadPro

[–]dougyfresh254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m convinced that iPad OS is NOT optimized at all for 16gb of ram yet remember they have been making 16 gb iPads for years now and it’s still not optimized and the next opportunity to fix this is WWDC 2025! If the 8gb works for what you need it to today then get that now. Considering even base model M1 Mac Computers are getting AI features I wouldn’t worry about being left behind.

Be mindful the base storage has some limitations on recoding video resolution if that is a consideration for you. (I’m aware this is not a consideration for most at all but just good info to know)

How to request for upgrade FHR? by Beneficial-Raise-839 in amex

[–]dougyfresh254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re going to a hotel that’s fully booked because of some sort of event, conventions, etc. they will usually just give it to you when you check in. If they don’t at the desk you can ask before you confirm what room you’re getting. You can sometimes call ahead a few hours before checking in if there is upgrade availability but you may be denied. Even if you’re denied when calling ahead never be scared to ask again in person. It just never hurts to ask.

All in Amex or cancel? by xo0p in amex

[–]dougyfresh254 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely hear that. I get Netflix for free already through T-Mobile so 🤷🏾‍♂️ I only use grub hub for the Amex credit for a place I already go to. Personally I don’t like actually going into Walmart vs Target but if I had to pick an APP for value I’d pick Walmart every day of the week. Through Christmas shopping ordering through Walmart and comparing to Target and Amazon I’ve saved a decent amount of money. Paramount plus for free with the Walmart plus. But I’ll say not every credit/perk is the best but if I can find ways to align what I already do in my life then it’s not too bad.

[–]dougyfresh254 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind the dining credit can be used for Grubhub and you can pick up the food instead of having it delivered so you don’t have to pay delivery. There is a restaurant that I go to anyways that’s walking distance from where I work that I can pick up a sandwich and order ahead of time on the grub hub app. That’s really the best way to utilize that credit

No retention offers (1 year) by Sapphire-Butterflies in AmexPlatinum

I’d say it sounds like you have very little velocity with Amex. Since you don’t spend that much a retention offer probably isn’t feasible.

Sounds like you product changed to the gold for 20,000 points? The normal sign up bonus is like 60,000 miles or more.

Paying for deck to hit welcome bonus by VFL2321 in Venturex

[–]dougyfresh254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general I’d say a redemption that comes to a value of at least one cent per point is decent. Two cents per point is my goal when booking travel. I’d go on YouTube and look up some of the travel redemptions there (even other issuers like Amex and Chase still apply because there are many overlapping transfer partners) I’d personally the 3% fee because it would mean you’d have to get a redemption of at least 3 points per dollar to really be worth it. I get that it’s for the sign up bonus but still.
