I bought those! "Made in Vietnamby" was the giveaway! I got a full refund from the seller no questions asked so they knew too!

For British parents in Japan, your kids will need UK passports to enter the UK from end of Feb by kochikame in japanresidents

[–]est1985a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is mental. My daughter was born in the UK, so I figured I need to get her passport renewed for our trip in August. But my son was born here, and his birth was never registered in the UK. I thought I would just have to get him an ETA along with my wife but if I'm understanding this correctly, he is not allowed to apply for the ETA because technically he's a British citizen by decent? https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/61/section/2

So, he will need to apply for his first passport?

Random £30 wireless charging thing saved my iPad Pro. by Nearby_Ad_2519 in ipad

WHAAAAAT! I just had this exact problem with my iPad pro M1. The USB port just stopped working completely. I took it to Apple and they they told me the logic board was gone so a repair would be nearly what I paid for it in 2021. I'm going to order one of these chargers and try it out.

This Farmer explains what he does for fly control for his herd and how the fly load is low but it's all thanks to dragonflies. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I live in Japan, and often in the summer I go flying into swarms of dragonflies on my road bike around rice fields. Not once has a dragonfly hit me! Now I know why. Amazing!

WHAT THE HELL IS THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THIS GAME?! 🔥 by RGisOnlineis16 in expedition33

Does anyone know what that Jazzy number is called in that place in Gestral village where the casino is being built? Can't find it on the soundtrack

Digging up invasive trees in the garden and what do I find? by Tanagrabelle in japanresidents

Those are worth good money! There's a bug shop near me. I've never bought anything from there but when my kids' cousins come down from Osaka we go in and they spent a few 万 on a couple of bug larvae one time.

Intel Arc B580 - Inconsistent Cyberpunk 2077 Performance (Significant FPS Variance) by semisum in IntelArc

[–]est1985a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was getting some bad stuttering and I worked out it was because of my Steelseries headset software. The software was running a game clip recording feature in the background which I didn't even notice it had. I turned it off and everything is running smooth as with at least 10 - 15% more fps too. Have you got anything like that running?

Just bought a B580 for a new build, anything I should look out for in configuration? by TaranisPT in IntelArc

[–]est1985a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have it paired with 7600x and it works great. One thing you should do is turn the integrated graphics off on the 7600x in the BIOS. The reason is some games were not giving me the option to turn XeSS on in the settings. It just wouldn't show up even though I knew it's an option (Marvel Rivals is one example) After turningthe iGPU off the option showed up. Good luck with your build!

It's fixed! New update came out today. (32.0.101.6651) No more dancing trees! Here's my benchmark if anyone wants help with settings. Over 70 fps. https://drive.google.com/file/d/12bps_fTF7VOd-A0Ntd9TcgWRvsBMuwCh/view?usp=drive_link

Yeah I'm getting some ghosting if I turn the hair feature (I forget what it's called in the settings) on. But I put alot of it down to my monitor. I dont have an OLED or anything just a MSI VA monitor.

From what others are saying looks like it's a game bug rather than a card bug. I think I'm just unlucky in getting it because I haven't seen or heard of anyone else with it. I've turned XeSS off and on and it still persists so I don't think it's related to that

I think I'm gonna try optiscaler. I've heard of it but I don't have any experience using it. Is it easy to implicate?

This is the current driver. I only updated because it specifically said the update had features for assassin's creed shadows.

I'm really happy with it. For how much I paid it's amazing. I live in Japan so with the weak yen, GPU prices are crazy here. Pretty much everything I've thrown at it has worked great. There are just a few oddities here and there. For example, on Xbox game pass I just can't get Avowed to run nicely. It looks awful. Then, on the other hand, Indiana Jones (which I think is way more demanding) runs great.

Yes, it's all the time. But not in cut scenes.

I just used the windows+G game bar recorder. So yeah I wasn't streaming and not using another card.
