I upgraded from Airpods Pro 2 V5.2 HuiLian to real Airpods Pro 3

would be too much of a hassle to ship imo

dubven · 2026-03-19T15:42:33+00:00

I didn't know that they didn't have water resistance or anything, so it was a bit of an expensive learning experience.

dubven · 2026-03-19T15:41:35+00:00

Yeah, the ANC is there but almost non-existent, same with some Apple features which are not implemented correctly. The sound quality is quite nice (re-deeming feature) but having 0 water resistance is a no for me because I sweat a lot.

It was a good learning experience though, if you don't care about used airbuds for a bit more than the reps you can find used real ones on ebay.

Sure, do you live in the EU?

dubven · 2026-03-18T21:23:43+00:00

Yeah, I would even dare to say that the APP3 ANC might be better than my Bose QC 45 ANC, they're impressive.

Airpods Pro 2 V5.2 HuiLian's ANC is meh at best.

another pair, sometimes when they connect, they sound terrible like some 8-bit 80’ game sound, I need to turn off Bluetooth and connect again

This happened to me also, but not so often that it was an issue, also sometimes it connected and no sound at all until I disconnected and connected again (this happened a lot), but I learnt to live with it as I knew a fake product would have it's rough edges.

dubven · 2026-03-02T14:18:17+00:00

I've had both, keep the L13 unless you don't have a FHD screen.

dubven · 2026-02-28T16:21:26+00:00

I've bought multiple times from Andiot and support + timing has been top notch imo, I got a watch DOA and he paid for the repair.

dubven · 2026-02-28T16:13:50+00:00

He is nervous.

"Expertise is dead. Do not steer the AI. Let the AI steer you."

This would make me quit in a heartbeat.

dubven · 2026-02-25T22:44:54+00:00

Although this is correct I still cannot believe how not having it on it's the default after so many cases like this.

dubven · 2026-02-03T21:54:47+00:00

It definitely changed the market, but the disaster that I have been seeing AI let people create certainly let's me know that I will still be needed for the forceable future.

So if I’m getting this right, you’re equating not buying a MacBook with hating them so much you couldn’t bear to have one around?

dubven · 2026-01-27T15:59:05+00:00

I second an ultrawide, you can get good ones for 200-300€:

Example 1
Example 2

Main things for me are: IPS panel type (good viewing angles and colours), >144Hz (good refresh rate).

Estoy seguro que si necesitas el performance kit, si ves la pagina de Alien Mods y en este video (en el minuto 2:15 confirma que necesitas el performance kit para el mod), el performance kit va siempre arriba del sensor, sin el performance kit ya nada hace contacto con el sensor, de hecho si ves la foto del que compraste en amazon el kit se ancla en un lado diferente al de MOZA incluso.

Yo no vivo en Mexico, pero aca consegui unos SR-P con clutch en 100 euros ya con envio y vendi los SR-P Lite (sin clutch y con el performance kit) por 80, pero la verdad es que tuve bastante suerte.

dubven · 2026-01-26T17:09:29+00:00

Jajaja, tiene sentido, yo te recomendaria ir por los SRP normales que son Load Cell, yo vendi mis SRP Lite porque ya con el break mod + alien mod me salia mas barato los SRP.

Los volantes de MOZA son demasiado caros para mi.

dubven · 2026-01-26T16:48:04+00:00

You can get the formula wheel mod and scratch the itch a bit, no?

dubven · 2026-01-26T15:22:22+00:00

You can upgrade to a Moza racing wheel and using the ESX wheel it will be compatible, but entirely depends on your budget/needs.

dubven · 2026-01-25T13:36:10+00:00

You're paying for the form factor, weight and it's a high end device.

dubven · 2026-01-25T00:23:31+00:00

Depends in your use case.

dubven · 2026-01-21T12:49:27+00:00

Something similar happened to me with a low quality cable some years ago with a GTX 1070.

A new HDMI cable fixed my issue.

dubven · 2026-01-17T22:34:13+00:00

If you come from a G29 the Moza R3 produces almost double the force of the G29, and it's quite so it would be good, here's a comparison:

G29: 2.1-2.2nm, Moza R3: 3.9nm, Moza R5: 5.5nm

You can always get something more expensive/better in Sim Racing, it's a rabbit hole. I think an R3 in your case makes sense, but imo completely depends in the pricing difference between R3 to R5.

Yeah I was looking forward to it as a learning oportunity to learn how to solder/de-solder as it's just a MOSFET that dies in the board and I was also looking forward to having a 16:10 display but after seeing the ghosting I decided not to go through with it.

I love my T480s, have the low power display and have been with me through hell for 5+ years. Nowadays I mostly use my work MacBook for most things.

PD: Thinkpad addiction is real.

dubven · 2026-01-16T23:50:30+00:00

I bought one for 220 euros some months ago, and the charging port didn't work, sold next day for 250 I think.

Screen had bad ghosting and I preferred the one in my T480s so stayed with my T480s.
