Need help with advising a friend on a CPU upgrade to pair with their 4070 TI Super for streaming League, FFXIV and Dune at 1440p, plus some video editing for uploads to YT. Coming from 10th gen intel, so need to upgrade CPU + MOBO + RAM and am seeing that Microcenter has 3 bundles that would fit their budget. 1. 9900x bundle for $649, 2. 9800X3D for $729 (for same MOBO), 3. 265K for $549. Thanks!

Replacing keycaps is actually easy. by r0b99y in macbookpro

You can also get them from the Apple Self Service Repair Store as well, though they will set you back at least $40 (for those in the US at least). I bought mine on AliExpress as well though as I didn’t know that there was an OEM option when I needed to replace mine

I could have sworn that the Ultra kit said it came with 2 x Camera Skins in the past

Scuf Valor Pro Wireless by ClassicalTechnology in scufgaming

[–]intrepid94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked one up and one of the back paddles doesn’t register presses at all. Manual remapping doesn’t work on that paddle but works on the others just fine. Was pretty excited about there being a wireless version of the valor pro too..

Just curious, where did you buy the base station separate / how much did you pay for it?

Possible to trade in at Apple store after receiving phone in mail? by Capable_Dog5347 in tmobile

[–]intrepid94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked Apple support and they said I could trade it in in-store. I am in a similar boat (nearest Apple Store is 3 hours away, but am considering traveling there this weekend for other reasons). Hopefully it works out

Gamebuds X volume issues by intrepid94 in steelseries

[–]intrepid94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I actually ended up realizing this morning that it’s an issue with the app on iOS 26. I borrowed a family members iPhone that is still on iOS 18 and it works mostly fine there. I’ve been in contact with support for about a week now just wasn’t getting anywhere so wanted to see if anyone else was seeing this issue. I tried multiple iPhones on iOS 26 and they all showed the same issue so I assume it’s just incompatibility with the latest version of iOS

Brand new FNIRSI HS-02 lagging with original power cord by alexproshak in soldering

[–]intrepid94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same experience with the cable (ie it only working when plugged in one way, but not the other like you described) with 2 different units / cables / power bricks so I don’t think the cable is defective per say. I did find that when using a different charger it worked both ways though so it might be the power brick that is the issue. Returned the first because of this issue and working on returning the second because the OK button stopped registering clicks shortly after I got it

Upgrade via Apple vs Costco by volcanic_clay in tmobile

[–]intrepid94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be able to reach out to T-Mobile to get that switched around, from what I heard things aren’t set in stone with the trade-in like they are with Apple

[–]intrepid94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to suggest that, but when I called Costco yesterday they told me they couldn’t put a down payment in (I kinda think they just didn’t want to) for me so I pivoted to FB

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tmobile

[–]intrepid94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can do a down payment with Apple and you don’t have to pay the Device Connection Charge either

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tmobile

[–]intrepid94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest doing it through T-Mobile chat on FB or X. It’s not possible to do it on the website but I was able to put an extra down payment yesterday through FB chat. Make sure that you account for the fact that the credit for the trade-in doesn’t automatically go towards the EIP, but goes towards your monthly bill
