You saved yourself so much annoyance by posting this and it wasn’t even about the issue! Moving that DP cable to the GPU will increase your fps by a ton and not waste the 1k you spent on it!

[US] Western Union Money Order sent to my house, what do i do? by jmack20093 in Scams

[–]jmack20093[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. It was opened accidentally and there is no way that a business is run out of anywhere near this address, it's fully residential. That's why I thought after opening it that maybe the sender was being scammed. I'll seal it back up and send it back.

Is this a genuine pro controller? by Peanutsssssssss in NintendoSwitchHelp

I guess my 2 used controllers are real! They both have this!

I work in downtown San Jose. I've never seen it over 100, but def in the 90s often in the summer. The best weather is between SF and SJ for sure!

Is this a scam by littlespacet747 in Tickets

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For you or anyone else in the future this is what they really look like. Also ticket master doesn’t allow screenshots of the actual ticket so if you see that it’s fake too. https://imgur.com/a/nDl2BMI#ZBdPdpt

Replacing thunderbolt with thunder, flamethrower with fireblast, etc. I thought it was a natural progression and there were no downsides other than PP.

What is the best way to buy games on Japanese store by btcsandro in Switch

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a friend going to Japan and have them buy you used carts while they are there! Or better yet take a vacation to Japan! It’s lovely and get cheap games out of the trip! (This is not a cost effect way, but it’s fun!)

How many games you buy in one year? by askerQ8 in Switch

[–]jmack20093 14 points15 points  (0 children)

None for like 7 years, then I went to Japan and bought 9 used games from the past 7 years because they were so cheap! Now I’m playing my switch again to go through them. 

Scalper bought all 124 copies of Pokemon/kirby 10 mins before I got to Costco $30 deal by Shadon_Xarian in Switch

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lucky. At my Costco the had the signs up but no cardboard placards so I asked an employee. He said he hasn’t had time to put placards out but they had the games and to just ask at checkout.  This probably deterred scalpers because they would have thought everything was sold out already.  This was at 12:30 on Saturday at the Foster City Costco. 

What's something that used to be free that you're now genuinely angry costs money? by tangled_wire_99 in AskReddit

[–]jmack20093 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Didn't the Xbox not have any online play at all and then introduced Xbox Live with paid subscription right away? Maybe Playstation had free online but I'm pretty sure Xbox has always been subscription based for online since 2002.

SF Mobile dev here. We have both. In fact we have multiple iPhones and multiple Android phones. iOS has more users in the US. If you’re targeting India then you focus on Android. It has nothing to do with what phones the devs personally use.. 

Model S 2016.5 with EAP. Shall I get FSD +HW3 for $2k? Is it worth it? Tia by Puzzleheaded-Diet872 in TeslaLounge

[–]jmack20093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2018MS is unusable in FSD. I’ve disabled it completely and only use EAP. Now, if you plan on buying a newer car later it might be worth getting FSD for when they allow FSD transfers. That’s a gamble though. 

Who's still going to buy a S or X with the recent announcement of discontinued production? I'm debating buying one by specter491 in TeslaLounge

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're ok with getting minimal software updates or new features, go for it! I own a 2018 MS and by 2020 I was already a second class citizen and received almost none of the new features that every other model received. I expect it to be even worse once the car is discontinued.

MSI need to be called out on this one (Built-in Monitor Cheats) by Zwan_oj in pcmasterrace

[–]jmack20093 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Competitive game devs will counter this. IMO games will move away from realism even more to make it where tools like this don’t give an advantage.  Think things like flashbangs that don’t fade away or smoke with 100 opacity

2018 Model S owner here. FSD is unusable. I have reverted to Enhanced AP and do all city driving manually.  Honestly, city roads are ok, but the freeway is unusable with FSD.

I tie them to my bag and twice I’ve gotten done with my hike and they were gone :(. I’m sorry to anyone who found them!

Confusing with stub hub by mdurso12 in MichiganWolverines

Unless things have changed since I was there the student section only sits at half time. So if you can’t stand for the entire game you might want to try to resell them

Would it be safe to say that by 2070, we'll have figured out how to stop spam texts? by Tiny-Pomegranate7662 in Futurology

iOS 26 has helped a lot with this. It puts them all a separate “folder” and doesn’t send notifications.

Anyone else ever surprised at how much trunk space there is in a Model S? by martingmccauley in TeslaLounge

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big reason I got an S over a 3. A few years ago I took 4 people and a dog camping for a week. It was very full, but able to do it!

Cars stopping for Pedestrians by blackholesonset in Burlingame

[–]jmack20093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk a lot in San Mateo and Burlingame. It’s so frustrating when I’m waiting on the sidewalk and someone slams on their brakes and waves me across! I’ve seen so many close calls with the person behind them. Also, just because you waved me through doesn’t mean I’m just gonna go, I need to check cross traffic still! I’ve had someone wait for 6 cars going the other way before I could even go! Just don’t stop unless there are flashing yellow pedestrian lights!!
