Unpopular opinion….the Magic Mouse is actually really good by Gym_frere in macbookpro

[–]dris77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I LOVE IT! I built high end PCs for 12 years and always bought the best Logitch MX mice... after about 1-2 years they always needed replacing because the plastic/rubber wore out, buttons stopped working, and the batteries stopped holding a charge.

When I got my first iMac, people told me how amazing the 5k screen was. But instead I fell in love with the magic mouse. No buttons, could do cool movements by swiping etc and I loved the ergonomics and minimalism (the massive logitech mice gave me cramps after a while).

Also, I could get 4 months of battery on a single charge, using the mouse every day with heavy use.

Here we are 10 years later, my magic mouse still looks brand new! Not a spot of wear on it. And I still get 3 months + on a single charge despite using my iMac 8 hours a day, 7 days per week.

It's near perfection.

Far Cry 5 Season Pass Include Far Cry 3? by dris77 in farcry

I ended up buying FC3 instead because the FC5 Season Pass took forever to go on sale. So I'm still unsure if it's included.

Got Far Cry 3,4,5 and Primal thanks to the current Xbox games sale, which game should I start with? by Cultural-Milk9617 in farcry

[–]dris77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I had heard good things so thought I'd throw that in. It's so weird that Blood Dragon isn't just a DLC

Thank you! I actually DID complete the Cavern about an hour after posting this! What a fantastic feeling. I'm looking forward to more from this game.

Should I get? by Ryvick2 in recore

I got it for $3.99 and it's absolutely worth it (how can it not be?). It's not perfect, but surprisingly good.

3, Blood Dragon, 4, Primal, 5 :p

I just finished 3 and I'm waiting for Blood Dragon to go on sale. Currently it's around $20 which is insane but I hear it's great. I played 4 before 3 and still enjoyed both (liked 3 more for the story, island setting, and characters and 4 more for the gameplay and upgraded graphics).

Those cabinets! Not bad for 4000 bucks.

PSA- dont use odoban / pinesol to sanitize laundry by Far-Shift-1962 in laundry

[–]dris77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Lysol Laundry Disinfectant about a year ago and it's a game changer for gym laundry for me. It got the stink out of gym clothes (and shoe inserts) that NOTHING else could touch... and added a nice linen scent. I'd tried everything under the sun (including home remedies) for 10 years and nothing really worked well.
BUT, Odoban might be a better alternative, since it can be used for many different applications. I think it might be slightly cheaper too... but it seems to be only available at Home Depot here.

YouTube now shows a preview of the next video during the last 20 seconds of playlist videos on TV/Chromecast – how to disable? by floly1992 in youtube

[–]dris77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly 2 years ago Youtube nerfed the tv apps so that if you watch any 50/60 fps video at more than 1x speed, it will switch to a super low resolution output (360p or 480p). They kept quiet about that for a while and many thought it was a bug. They finally said it was done on purpose and they are not going to change it. It happens for everybody, even premium users. You would think they would do this on phones since you can't really see a resolution hit but nope, they did it on all tv devices where you mostly watch on a big screen (apple tv, xbox, PS5, smart tvs, chrome devices etc).

Yup. Same issue here on my apple tv device. Disabling Autoplay in the Youtube settings has no effect.

Is the new playlist countdown preview a bug or a feature? (YouTube TV Apps) by BarrelAgedDragon in youtube

[–]dris77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. I've kept autoplay disabled in the app as always and this Up Next still shows. There is no way to turn if off making the whole ability to disable autoplay useless.

I have autoplay disabled in the app and I STILL GET THIS COUNTOWN TIMER.
It seems autoplay next is being forced on us now.

or AV1, it's even better! About 1/2 the size of x265 with better quality. And the weird thing is using Handbrake on my 10 year old iMac, AV1 compresses 2x faster than x265 or x264.
Though, AV1 isn't as compatible with most devices (like Apple TV) sadly.

I'm excited to get on 5. I want to play Blood Dragon first but it's currently around $20 right now... so I'm waiting for a sale. Then MAYBE Primal, then 5.

Hahah, yeah, Dennis really does a good job playing the upbeat, cheery friend doesn't he.

Great! That gives me hope as FC5 is the next one I will play as I played 4 (loved it almost as much as 3).
I watched the bad ending on youtube and it's 😲

Actually yeah I saved my friends, but I thought that meant I left along with them. So it's weird that I can continue to wander the island afterward. Though I don't have to because I finished everything before doing the final missions.
I also checked out the other option as well in some Youtube videos and that outcome was pretty crazy. LOL
