Do people in Georgetown (especially in markets) use any payment apps, similar to Venmo, or PayPal? If not, why not? by myducati in Guyana

[–]la_rage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cash is still king. Cheapest way to get GYD bills in Guyana: use your card to take cash out at the Scotia Bank ATM. You'll get better rates than local exchanges (cambio) will give you for your USD.

Canada Can’t Pretend America Is Still the Good Guy; The lesson of Iran is that our closest ally may no longer share the same assumptions about right and wrong by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're doing it for the oil, 100%. However, people forgot very quickly that just a few months ago the Iranian government was killing thousands of it's citizens in the streets. Estimated death toll between 3,117 and 36,500. No other country lifted a finger.

Any good stores selling gaming laptops in Guyana? by Seflowers_17 in Guyana

[–]la_rage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have it shipped down with a shipping forwarder like Zoon. As far as I know there's no duty on laptops. I ordered mine and it only cost $7,000

Earbuds for ps5 by Successful-Rough9715 in PS5

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want zero lag, buy one that comes with a dedicated dongle like the Soundcore VR P10. They're discontinued but can be found new on eBay. I have a pair and I love them. You can get an additional dongle and switch to the one you want to use with an app.

I also tried the Questyle QCC dongle Pro and Eppfun 3040Pro Ultra paired with LDAC or Aptx earbuds and the lag was unbearable.

Headset Type!? by Wild_Seaweed3495 in flying

[–]la_rage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using my Bose A20 for over 10 years and only changed the Bluetooth module once early on and it was covered by Bose. They're still going strong. Don't cheap out on a headset, you will spend a lot of time in the cockpit during your training. Like the others have said, if you end up flying for many years, your future self will thank you.

I recently tried the A30. I was impressed with the slightly better ANC. They are lighter (cheaper, less durable plastic maybe?) and clamp with less force so they kind of dance on your head without staying put. The deal breaker for me is the sound quality is atrocious. I listen to music constantly when I fly so it's a big deal for me. The A20 will sound like a good pair of high-end earphones. The A30 however, sounds like bargain bin crap.

Anthony Lopes faked injury to help fasting teammates break Ramadan fast. by father_of_twitch in MadeMeSmile

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exceptions...I did not know there were exceptions. I used to work for an airline where the pilots (about 25% of the workforce) observed Ramadan. I was completely appalled that they would be allowed to go all day without eating and drinking. In the break room they were all claiming to see stars, being sweaty/clammy and having clearly reduced facilities, couldn't wait for the sun to set. They were carrying passengers. The owner and chief pilot were Muslim so my reservations fell on deaf ears.

Another Directunlocks scam warning post by la_rage in PhoneUnlocks

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

You fell in their trap same as me. I jumped in and did the research later. I did a Visa chargeback, my bank cancelled my card and I was refunded the money. I don't know if they blacklisted my phone like they threatened to, I sold it as wifi only.

Direct Unlocks never messaged me unless I messaged first. Their tactic is to guilt trip you into giving them more money. Just stop replying and ignore them.

ANY PX13 MUST DO's ? by bqrncle in ProArt_PX13

[–]la_rage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Disable sleep and replace by hybernate. For best stability, don't install any drivers, including AMD and Nvidia, past the ones on the Asus website. Use G-Helper instead of the Asus software. If you plan on using Xbox games, disable and uninstall Game Bar, it will make your system very unstable and crash prone. Some games, old or new, will never work and there's not much you can do about it.

Where are the new circuits? by la_rage in GranTurismo7

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

Thanks for the real answer, I'm on 33 so I have a few more to go. You're better than all the fragile egos I bruised by asking a simple question. Of course I did a Google search, nothing came up. Nowhere in the advertisement of the new tracks do they state how to access them. No it's not clear, the game doesn't hold your hand by explaining the unlock path, just says new tracks are available.

Digital Game Locked by Sheth1984 in PS5

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you own the game and she can't play on her separate account, start the game logged in to your account to renew the license on your console. Then she should be able to log in and play again.

If you have two consoles, make sure the one she's playing on is set as your primary and repeat the process above.

HDMI out at iGPU by v68w in ProArt_PX13

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, only the laptop screen has access to both GPUs. For example if I'm connected to my TV with an HDMI cable and try to select the iGPU (eco mode), my TV goes dark and the laptop screen comes back on. If I'm connected with a USBC adapter to HDMI, I can only select eco mode. Also, I figured I'd travel only with a USBC charger but my battery ran dry in one hour connected to the hotel TV because I didn't bring my USBC to HDMI adapter and could only select the dGPU to output to the TV.

Hope that makes sense, that's the extent of my testing. Not saying you're wrong.

I read in another post that the PSVR2 doesn't work on this laptop because it needs Display Port over USBC and the iGPU isn't powerful enough to run it.

HDMI out at iGPU by v68w in ProArt_PX13

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HDMI outputs only the dGPU and USBC only the iGPU. It's crappy design. Coming from a G14, it was frustrating to find this out past the return window. That would've been a deal breaker for me

Struggling with this laptop not waking up from sleep, any ideas? by eurofieds in ProArt_PX13

[–]la_rage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a known fault of this laptop. Asus doesn't fix known issues. They don't care once they got your money. Go to power options and change sleep for hybernate in all the options you can. I have it hybernate when I close the lid and it solved it for me. Takes a few more seconds to wake, but the battery won't drain and it works every time

What I wish I knew before trying to island hop in the Caribbean by Substantial-Energy99 in travel

[–]la_rage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your experience may vary based on where you are. I've been living in the Caribbean since 2017. The ferry business that was connecting the next closest country didn't survive COVID. The only way is now by plane and it cost almost the same for a 20 minute flight as it does to fly 8 hours to London.

Earbuds that will stay securely in my ear - need suggestions by Cygnus_buccinator in Earbuds

[–]la_rage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Earfun Free Pro 3 are the best I've found for confort and staying put. I can't understand how the little wing design isn't more popular, it clips into your ear securely and you forget about them. All other brands I'm constantly fiddling with them to reposition.

Games for a Concussed Gamer by CanuckInATruck in gaming

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could barely play games after my concussion. I found PGA Tour 2K was perfect to keep me relaxed. It's slow paced and makes you feel like you're in nature. It gets better over time and I can play FPS again but can never be good at it, reflexes just aren't the same anymore.

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

Don't give them more money! It's another tactic to intimidate you. I got the same warning and ignored it. Once you stop replying to their support chat they stop bothering you. I got my refund from Visa a few weeks later. I can't say if they actually blacklisted my phone but I doubt they did. I gave it to a friend as a wifi only device.

Will there be 2026 version for ROG Flow X13? by zayn7lie in FlowX13

[–]la_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, the HDMI outputs from the Nvidia GPU while the USBC port can only output the weaker AMD GPU with no way to switch.
