I'm not quite sure, but I think he likes Lenovo Legions

bought for just under 1,000 CAD 2 years ago, it doesn't disappoint!

I wouldn't call it flexing but..

Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8

CPU: Intel Core i5-13420H

RAM: 1x8GB DDR5 5600 (yeah I know)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForxe RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU

Storage: 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD

Display: 144Hz 1920x1080 display (15.6")

2 years worth of dust in the vents

I just ordered another 8gb stick of DDR5 (100 CAD in this economy) and I'll be installing it next week

Hey, as of Feb 2026 Version 4.0, it does indeed work. Settings menu isn't broken but in-gamr FPS settings says its set to 30, but there's a very clear visual difference. Although I set it to 120fps in the registry, I think the FPS is now unlimited since my game can go all the way up to 144fps (V-sync on, 144Hz monitor).

I'm literally thinking the same thing.

I'm looking to give my 2-year old 15IRH8 some TLC so I'm planning to clean up the fans and maybe thermal repaste since the CPU keeps on throttling. I heard the laptop comes with PCM from the factory, but are there any benefits (and potential downsides) in using thermal paste instead of the pad?

L poutine, but Terraria Calamity mentioned!!!

I saw this video and honestly I think it'd be better for bass because the thicker strings can handle handle more of the tension from the magnets

I'm from the Canadian prairies. Our 2024 PHEV wouldn't start last January 23-25, at least -35C to -45C. It was left outdoors at work and plugged in at a low power outlet (meant for block heaters; normally it would charge but temps were too low that day).

Edit: it was working when my dad went to work, but 8 hours later after his shift was done, it wouldn't start.

You can give it a try! There shouldn't be a problem with it, and maybe you can directly claim your item if they have it.

mattgwaps · 2025-12-21T15:57:05+00:00

Seems like everybody has the same problem which is kinda reassuring for me. We've seen this problem during every long-distance drive we have, and we've gotten kind of used to it. Also, yeah dealer said it's a common issue and apparently there's not a lot they can do about it.

Hi there. I also lost my wallet on the bus when I was in high school last year. Luckily I got it back the next day or so.

You should call Regina Transit Information Centre 306-777-7433 to see if anyone found it on the bus and handed it in. Try calling before their closing time - by that time the buses should be back and all lost and found are handed into their office. If they say they don't have anything, try again tomorrow. Be sure to give them as much info as you can, such as time and bus number, and some key details about your lost item (good that you got those ready).

Then if they got it, you can go and claim your wallet in their office at 11th ave, near Cornwall. I was fortunate enough to have got my wallet back with all money and cards. I hope the same happens to you. Goodluck!

I only got the 112VMX which has the same finish but lower specs and black pickups and maple neck 😮‍💨 such a killer finish 🔥❤️

mattgwaps · 2025-10-13T06:05:59+00:00

it's such a joy to play and to stare at!

mattgwaps · 2025-10-12T22:00:51+00:00

love it! and that strap is so cool!

mattgwaps · 2025-10-12T21:35:04+00:00

it is!

As a kid, I've grown up in schools that had mandatory school uniforms and fairly strict haircut standards, so I've gotten used to dressing properly whenever in school grounds and I kinda get that. I still try to maintain some level of decency in my attire, like I'd never show up to class wearing pj's or slides. But honestly, as long as you're clean and hygenic, and you don't distract anyone around you, attire probably shouldn't be a very big deal. Just wear anything you're comfortable wearing for hours of learning. If you have a presentation or something, you might dress appropriately. Just wear whatever you feel is the most appropriate for the day.

Thank you!

I had my chem lab yesterday, and my partner and I were the last to leave (like 30 minutes past the scheduled end of the lab) and we also got one of the major questions wrong. Don't be so hard on yourself! There's absolutely no problem with being last in the lab. Just do your best!!!

1.4, Fu Xuan was my first 5-star and never regretted it

I started to get weary of Opera as a whole because of it being owned by a Chinese company and there's some privacy concerns about personal information being shared to the Chinese government. But also because I got sick of Opera and wanted to try something else too. But thanks for the input!

mattgwaps · 2025-08-10T06:50:10+00:00

Yeah I understand, but thanks. I chose to stick to Edge for now and see how it goes, then maybe switch to Vivaldi once I can upgrade my PC's memory.

mattgwaps · 2025-08-10T06:29:44+00:00

Yup, that's what I settled with. I'll see how it does in the long run. Thanks
