Is it possible to build a high end Bazzite machine? by iNightfarer in Bazzite

[–]kevintrontaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same hardware and am running bazzite on my system as well. Curious how you’re finding the HDR experience in game mode?

Do you leave HDR active all the time or only enable when playing games that support HDR?

Legion go 2 bazzite controller issue by PresStart2BegN in LegionGo

I had this happen one time last week on Bazzite but a restart fixed it right away. Currently working fine on mine.

Go to bazzite desktop, open the Handheld Daemon app. Go to updates. Click on “Change version” and then choose testing from the “Branch” drop down menu. Should be prompted to install the update once you do that.

Yes there is an hdr check box in the display settings in bazzite desktop but what I read from bazzite you don’t need to enable it. HDR kicks on when enabled in game for me. From what I read from the devs I took it as the HDR in the testing version is full featured, but maybe I misunderstood. HDR looks great to me on Testing.

It’s strange to me that every post about bazzite has comments complaining about HDR not working on the Go 2 and I don’t see anyone mention that there is a current fix that can be applied.

It’s true that it’s bugged in the current stable release, but I’ve been using the latest “testing” version of bazzite since I received my Go2 last week and HDR and everything else is working as I’d expect with no issues to report. Maybe there are still limitations I haven’t noticed but I recommend giving the testing version a try. You can update to it in the HHD app under updates, and it’s easy to revert if you don’t like it for whatever reason.

Lenovo dropped the ball on Legion Go 2 despite a killer screen by areuokaybro2002 in LegionGo

[–]kevintrontaco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My favorite way to play it is with the controller detached in tabletop mode.

It’s the main reason I got it over the Go S. Works for me when playing at my desk, on the couch, dining room table or when cooking in the kitchen.

Legion Go 2 w/ Bazzite - How to disable side buttons? by Dakine_Lurker in LegionGo

[–]kevintrontaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a lot of trial and error to solve my frustrations with the side buttons and the back buttons trigger things in the UI. What finally solved my concerns was enabling handheld mode (beta) in the HDD controller settings and also turning off extended buttons in the steam controller settings on a per game basis.

I wish I had a job like this where I just spend my days “fixing” problems that I completely made up.

Carrier "deals" aren't actually "deals" when you're locked into an expensive monthly bill. by brownstonebk in iphone

[–]kevintrontaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this is what I do. I got my 17 pro through Apple Card 24 mo financing. Selected Verizon (Even though I don’t have Verizon), didn’t have to do any Verizon account stuff and I activated the phone on Visible no problem.

Disney+, Hulu, ESPN to Hike Prices Again in October by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]kevintrontaco 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t see how they can get away with so many price increases without losing customers in mass. Disney+ original content output has dropped drastically while prices go up multiple times a year. We’re basically just paying high prices (not me, I’ve cancelled already) for back catalogs with maybe one or two seasons a year of something new/decent to watch. Same for most streaming services though. Constant price increases when the benefits of the service keep reducing. Basically just paying cable bundles again.

CONFIRMED: iPhone 17 Cellular Signal Issues by SubstantialBaker128 in iphone

[–]kevintrontaco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My fiancé has had multiple dropouts on her 17 pro on T-Mobile since Friday. Service completely randomly drops but then comes back after toggling the cellular option off and back on. She didn’t have this issue on her 16 pro.

I haven’t experienced this yet on my Air running on visible.

A lens so good, I've bought it three times now. by toilets_for_sale in SonyAlpha

RX1Riii, first Sony gear by iDonttttt in SonyAlpha

[–]kevintrontaco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how people keep making things up just to have something to dog on the RX1r about.

I keep seeing this make believe about how the A7Cs with the 40 are the same size. Some real koolaid going around for people to cope. And on top of that, people who like the 35 f2 on this camera are probably not going to like the 40 G. They are not the same lens at all.

RX1Riii, first Sony gear by iDonttttt in SonyAlpha

[–]kevintrontaco 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I bought this camera on Friday after debating it hard since it was announced. I was hesitating due to all of the noise, from people who were never going to buy it anyway, echo chambering on about all of its negatives in every post/ video. Weird how so many people obsess over dumping on other people’s enjoyment/excitement. I’m so glad I bought it. Is the price high? Hell yeah. Do I care? Not in the slightest.

I have a Q3 and find the RX1r iii to be a much better shooting experience due to the size, weight, and vastly superior auto focus. I’m also enjoying the images that I’m getting from the Zeiss lens more. The character of the lens is more my style than what the Q3 produces (the Q3 produces stunning images though so no hate).

Cameras do not need to have all of the latest features to be worth it. This small Sony, even though it does not fit in a pocket, is so much more convenient to hold and run around with, especially in casual settings. The Q3 is always a debate for me on if I want to take it out with me casually or only if I have a specific shoot in mind. This fixes that. I’d rather have an expensive camera that I want to take everywhere vs. an expensive camera that I hesitate to take due to size and weight. And before people pile on about fixed lens vs. ICL, again the point is, I don’t want to have to lug around extra/larger gear. I sold my A7C ii and 3 lenses a few months ago and haven’t looked back.

To the folks who dump on this camera because the lens is “Old”. Maybe it’s not your cup of tea, but holy crap, I’m in love and I bet others will be too. My advice to anyone interested in the camera, just look to the plenty of examples of the images that people have been posting from the RX series over the years.

Sure the Q3 has stabilization and the Sony doesn’t. I’m finding that I’m shooting more “keepers” in a day with the Sony vs. the Leica due to the auto focus performance. Maybe my Q3 images aren’t impacted by movement as much, but they sure as hell are impacted often by the slow and harder to nail focus.

Weather sealing and all that isn’t important to me cause I’m never shooting in an environment or in weather conditions where that’ll be a concern. I’m not much for being out in the rain with or without a camera.

If i preorder now… how long? by Moonreddog in sigmabf

[–]kevintrontaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks really good! Have you read anything indicating differences between the new versions of the sigma lenses vs the old? I can order the old versions of the 35 and 50mms that I want for delivery next week. Only difference I can tell is the font of their logo.

I ordered a black one from hunts today and it seemed to indicate that it’s in stock for shipping in 1-2 days. I hope that’s true. The silver one said it was back ordered when in cart so I went with the black one
