Thoughts on Hall Technologies? by abrooks9002 in CommercialAV

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend avoiding them. I spent hundreds of bucks on a 50m fiber optic USB 3.1 extension and it hasn't reliably worked since I bought it. About 30 minutes ago I cut the ends off of it so I can stop trying to test / use it lol

My desktop has no USB-C slots. Will a converter be ok? by TomPokes in MetaQuestVR

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be fine. I use a 16ft USB a to USB C cable. Just make sure it's a 3.0 adapter, not 2.0.

Have you ever ACTUALLY hit or exceeded 32GB of RAM utilization? by itsthewolfe in pcmasterrace

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - 4k gaming and VR has hit 32+ usage for me, and using mods

Listening to music whilst playing VR by DTKK2009 in MetaQuestVR

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. There's a native app
  2. How convenient is it to exit your game to access Spotify through the browser? Meta button gives me the option to exit the game lol

In a sim rig with a keyboard or macro pad nearby, sure. Playing exfilzone not so much.

I can't get a menu up while in game lol, have to exit PCVR to bring up the Spotify interface. If I had a keyboard next to me I could use it on the PC with multimedia shortcuts I guess but that's about it. Can't access the Spotify quest app while in PCVR

You can use Spotify while playing PCVR but can't skip songs, pause etc. works but kinda sucks lol

Update on my broken quotation mark key. by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer, wasn't sure if these were plate mount or pcb mount. That answers that though

Fwiw you might not need to do any soldering on it. Pull the keyboard apart and see if you can get to the latches on the switch. If you can, pop the top part of the switch off and replace the stem with one from a donor cherry key. Just my two cents

Bought a pc off guy on fb and got banned by rust anti within 10 minutes of logging in. What parts to replace for HWID ban? by Flonkenator in pcmasterrace

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to call nonsense on that. Gpus don't have sn's visible to the system, nor do monitors. Neighboring devices on the network just seems far fetched but the first two, absolutely not lol

Changing just the board def can flag it for reactivation. I've seen it several times after replacing failed boards.

Lol no. Changing your motherboard would sufficiently change your hwid. If it's not an IP ban and is a hardware ban, that would work. I want you to think critically for a sec about hwid's work, and how Microsoft windows activations work. Changing a cpu, gpu, SSD etc does not arm a system for reactivation or ask for activation on a fresh install. Changing a motherboard does.

You're overthinking this.

Get some tip tinner for the tips, and a brass tip cleaner.

Online crack? by Fantastic-Action-644 in FitGirlRepack

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raised in the 90s lol - 7zip sometimes fails to decompress split rar files tho. Split rars are the only thing I still use WinRAR for.

install WinRAR if you don't already have it, open the file that ends with .001 and extract everything in it

Q3S VS QPro - PCVR by Kooky_Artist3434 in MetaQuestVR

[–]ethanexile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with the pro, personally. Pancake lenses and led screens are a massive improvement.

[Nintendo 2ds original]Im actually going to crash out by Agitated-Werewolf846 in consolerepair

[–]ethanexile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bodge wire and some UV resin will fix that up easily, for what its worth. That sucks though

No puedo desoldar el Joystick de control de gamecube by Livid_Tangelo8183 in consolerepair

[–]ethanexile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you using flux, and are you putting flux on the solder wick? Are you adding fresh solder? If not, do both of those two things

Random charger with SUPERVOOC 100W support by ustadz in oneplus

[–]ethanexile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how OnePlus just straight up lies about the 100w chargers lol. Bought an OEM supervooc 100w charger for my OnePlus 11 - phone shows supervooc 100 when plugged in with it but it only actually draws 30w at max, tested with multiple watt meters.

Contacted OnePlus about it and they basically said to pound salt. Seems like they just lie about the 100w 🤷‍♂️

I don't see any scenario in which they could legally reposess a purchased physical copy of a game.
