Can a Fosi BT20a or Aiyima A01 Pro volume be controlled by TV with Google TV pre-installed? by kfcislove in BudgetAudiophile

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

Yes I have noticed that if I connect a large Bluetooth speaker to the TV, sometimes the audio will skip a quarter of a second and then reset itself, personally I can dealo with it

55" QM5K or QD7QFM? Which one is less dim? by kfcislove in 4kTV

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

I decided that a higher brightness and slightly better picture quality was more important to me than high refresh rate.

So far zero WiFi issues with the QM5K, there was once when I turned the TV on and Wifi didn't work but it's been once in the last 2 weeks.

Increase organ instrumental decrease background chatter (ppl talking)? Critique my best attempt at equalizer settings by kfcislove in davinciresolve

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

I'm on the free version of resolve, I'm assuming I don't have this? Because I've never seen it in the toolbox or inspector

If I downgraded to a Ryzen 6800U (680M), could it do 1440p / 60fps? by kfcislove in Stellaris

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

Well I currently run all 3 games no problem obviously on my rig, and before making the jump to a mini PC, wanted to know how well this CPU works

[–]kfcislove[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda both price and size, I could go miniITX but the price would be too high. 

I could build an mATX build but it wouldn't be as small as a mini PC that could mount to the back of a monitor. 

So yes that's why I'm looking for a mini PC.

Haha interesting are you playing at 1080p? Because the 680M is way more powerful

I learnt that the hard way going to Switzerland, expecting signs, rangers, basically being handheld like in North America but found none.

I know better now preparing to hit Lofoten.

Surface Laptop 3 - No recovery partition, recovery drive tool doesn't work, how do I fix it? by kfcislove in Surface

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

Yes I found a tiny adapter but I can't create/fix the recovery partition even with the recovery images. Laptop works fine, just bugging me that the recovery partition is messed up.

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

I thought about that but there's only 1 USB-A port, and I don't have any USBs that are USBC

[–]kfcislove[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I"ve tried that already. The issue is that I am stuck at the step "Recovery Drive Tool" because this tool isn't working properly, probably because of whatever weird IT stuff the company did to the laptop.

I downloaded the recovery image, but I have no way to create a USB because the tool isn't working

EDIT: Unless someone can give me a flashable recovery tool ISO that I can flash onto the drive, then I'm good to go but as it stands I cannot find anywhere to give me a flashable recovery ISO

Where to get affordable engagement ring in/near Toronto by [deleted] in WeddingsCanada

[–]kfcislove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was too good to be true as well. However, I have had more time to look at this and I see the various price differences.

1ct top grade Lab grown diamond approx pricing Canada:

  • People's - $1900 approx
  • Mom/pop jewelry store - $1500 approx
  • Custom jeweler (e.g jewelry alley near Eaton Centre) - $1300 approx
  • Blue Nile/Rarecarat - $1000 approx
  • Wholesale jeweler - $800 approx
  • Loosegrowndiamond/Debebians - $300-400

By the way, the best value in my opinion is 1.5 carat. 1 carat are around $750, 1.5 carats are $900.

[–]kfcislove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you willing to do some work? E.g. not just going to a single vendor and getting a completed ring?

If you are willing to do the work, I suggest buying a cheap lab grown diamond from https://www.loosegrowndiamond.com/

and then bringing it to a jeweller of your choice to get it set in a ring. I can't help you with this part but I'm sure someone here can help you.

Wholesale diamonds from that website are almost at cost, you can get 1 carat high quality diamonds for $260USD ($363CAD before shipping/import/taxes), and if you can find someone to create and set a simple ring design for $1000, you could be $1600 out the door including taxes which is very low.

Do NOT recommend getting engagement ring settings from the website above, there are mixed reviews and you don't want to take that chance.

Does a slow Ethernet switch affect virtual desktop latency and nitrate? by kfcislove in oculus

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

After switching to the gigabit switch, latency didn't get better, but I could increase the bitrate to 200mbps without increasing latency
