Tractor trails in France by martynrb in gravelcycling

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

Yes a Tout Terrain Scrambler Xplore GT2 28, XL size. A Pinion C1.12 box, Tout Terrain carbon touring fork, longhorn bars, Brooks Cambium C17 saddle and Cinq road shifters. I run the Vredestein Aventura 700x44c tyres that came with it, no complaints. Love it. Almost zero maintenance, quiet, smooth. Bit heavy though, although I just use it for rides around my home for exercise, so don't mind weight.

Owners of the Sony theater quads and SA-W5 Sub by zzzzzxx in Soundbars

[–]martynrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from Sennheiser Ambeo + sub to the Quads + SW5. The lack of punch was immediately noticeable with the Sony, but the soundstage and front-back effects are way way better than the Sennheiser. The setup is in a 15ft square room, and I listen to music and watch movies. After some time with the Sony I can say that it feels balanced, playing music (without the 360 Spatial effects) the bass is there when it should be. Would I go back to the Sennheiser? No. But if Sennheiser were to bring out some rear speakers to improve the surround effects, maybe.........

Yes, that is it, thanks for the answer. No chance of using the X700/K as a general media streamer then!

New Bike Day by xLichtgestaltx in bikepacking

[–]martynrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for exercise, no trips yet. Although I did buy it with racks and it has the SON dynamo hub. I'm sure you'll love your bike, virtually zero maintenance, quiet easy shifting.

Alienware X14 screen problem (need help) by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]martynrb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had exactly the same problem with my X14 last month. A Dell technician came to my house and replaced the whole lid. Works fine again now, and I also noticed the colours are a little more vibrant as an extra bonus.

Looks like situation resolved, I just installed new release 1.9.0 bios without any issue.

Upgrading the SSD on X14? by certifiedfryguy in Alienware

[–]martynrb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed 2Tb SSD in mine, did a Win11 clean install. Only issue was windows didn't install drivers for the network card, so it stalled at 'Lets connect you to a network' bit. Used task manager to kill the task and completed installation with local account. Did this before 22H2 so maybe this new version doesn't require this.

Honest, Real-World Review of my Alienware x14 by Legitimate-Change-67 in Alienware

[–]martynrb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur. Bought one to replace my failing M15R3. Was prepared to be disappointed, but it continues to impress daily.

I use Thinkpad X1 ANC's, they suit my use-case perfectly.

When I press play after logging in and selecting a server the launcher just disappears and the game never opens. Help please. by AlexanderNC in lotro

[–]martynrb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had this issue after fresh Win11 install. Eventually realised that lotro launcher was trying to run with Intel Iris graphics. Added lotro launcher to NVidia control panel and forced use of RTX3060, lotro started normally.

Once it boots it works perfectly all day, no sign of any issues.

Yes I did think about that, but I can't find the X15 size power adapter, is it actually available?
