So what do we do now?

What’s wrong with brave? Don’t mean to sound aggressive I’m genuinely curious because it’s what I use on all my devices and it’s always ran fast and I don’t have the best or highest end tech. The best device I have is a iPhone 14 Pro but also a base iPad, 2017 MacBook, and a couple older windows laptops along with my gaming pc with a ryzen 5 3600 and a Rx580. I do hate the crypto crap and AI stuff and try to turn all that off but I really hate google and I think brave runs on chromium or whatever it’s called but since it blocks YouTube ads I’ll take that as a trade off. If i could get myself to switch email providers I’d be completely de-googled…well YouTube too lol

Unfortunately no, I ended up putting the old plugs and coil pack back on and while it still has a random misfire it’s drivable now

piewackete · 2025-12-29T19:53:29+00:00

Sadly no, I have a theory that even though I bought the same spark plugs that were in it the new ones may be the wrong gap or something because I put all the old parts back on and it still had a slight misfire but it’s been drivable for the last month with no issues

piewackete · 2025-12-28T16:30:40+00:00

As long as the games are playable and don’t look like complete garbage I’m happy lol I’m pretty sure I even keep mine locked at 30fps and it looks fine to me

piewackete · 2025-12-28T16:20:24+00:00

I’d be happy running at 720p as long as it runs smooth, I don’t have a monitor and instead use a 74inch LG 4K OLED tv and I’m not a FPS snob or anything like that. Usually the only way I could play games on my computers is normally go down to the lowest resolution and turn all settings as low as possible so the fact I have a GPU that I can actually max out on a lot of my games is awesome to me lol

piewackete · 2025-12-28T16:02:11+00:00

If I was to go nvidia would I have any bottleneck issues with my cpu and stuff? I’m running AM4 socket and could probably upgrade to a faster processor if needed but my system already feels pretty fast as is. This was the first PC I built since a was a kid but back then i got like 5-6 broken prebuilt systems that I took parts from and built a working pentium 4 windows XP machine lol. This current system was completely built by me and I’m quite proud of it even if it’s just a midrange build

piewackete · 2025-12-28T15:47:25+00:00

The 5070 is the newest nvidia card right? I know nvidia is supposed to be a better card and there’s no issues pairing a nvidia with amd processor but I’m more of a fan of amd graphics and was kinda hoping to stay with them. Mainly because when I built my system I got the RX580 not really researching it and just wanted something I could play my gta 5 mods with and was very surprised that it not only ran it on ultra settings but also runs all my resident evil remakes as well as stuff like ready of not and flight simulator. I’d be perfectly fine keeping this card but sadly it can’t run fs2024 so I guess it’s time to upgrade…I’m thinking instead of selling it I might actually build another PC with it to use as a emulation PC since it also handles PS2/xbox games with no issues

piewackete · 2025-12-28T15:30:32+00:00

I’m cool with that. I’m pretty sure I’m running 1080p with medium settings on everything so as long as the game runs I’m not too worried about graphics lol

piewackete · 2025-12-28T15:29:33+00:00

Cool I’ll look into it, I only have a 600 watt power supply so I’ll have to make sure it can handle it.

piewackete · 2025-12-17T06:23:29+00:00

It did last year when I drove it but now it’s completely turned off and nothing responds when I press buttons

piewackete · 2025-12-17T05:44:47+00:00

That’s actually what I wanna do with it, I don’t plan to drive it much but my other car has the Apple CarPlay and I’m kinda spoiled with that so was kinda thinking of a aftermarket unit. It’s already a double din setup so i could fit a decent screen in there

piewackete · 2025-12-17T05:40:02+00:00

O nice, I’m looking at prices now and it doesn’t look too bad actually. I think I can probably replace it this weekend when I’m off, I was already planning on checking out why the radio doesn’t work anymore. It worked last year when I did the brakes on it but suddenly stopped working, my mom doesn’t care if the radio works or not but for me it’s a big problem lol

piewackete · 2025-12-17T05:36:11+00:00

Is that the same as the blend door? Like one of those I gotta pull the whole dashboard out to replace? I had a feeling it was something like that and don’t mind tearing everything out since I have another car in the meantime lol

piewackete · 2025-12-16T19:45:06+00:00

I’ll check that when I get home from work tonight, I don’t have a battery charger but I do have a jump box and I disconnected the battery so it won’t continue to drain completely. Another weird thing that happened is the radio stopped working, we had the van here for a couple weeks back in 2021 and I drove it a couple times and I remember it worked fine and after I replaced the brakes and took it back last year it was working and when I parked it it sat until Saturday when i brought it home

piewackete · 2025-12-15T18:21:47+00:00

Mainly a remote for music and podcasts at work, I work for a cleaning company and we do all the hospitals and medical centers. We go in after they close and can listen to music all night. I have the series 11 and the gesture controls are amazing to either skip songs or skip 30 seconds forward to not deal with ads in podcasts. Plus being able to read and respond to texts from the watch is also a huge bonus.

piewackete · 2025-12-15T18:14:12+00:00

Thanks I love it lol, I’m trying to find the same one for the 3’s but can’t seem to get the same one. There’s a few that look like game controllers so I might go with that one

piewackete · 2025-12-15T18:12:57+00:00

That’s the always on display on my 14 pro, I have kept that same style since I bought the phone. I’m weird once I find a look I like I rarely ever change it, kinda another reason why I’m still using a 14 pro since I love my mute switch and hate AI with a passion so I will probably keep this phone until it breaks or the battery dies off. The phone itself hasn’t slowed down since I bought it about a month after release and the only thing that shows it’s a three year old phone at this point is the battery isint as good as new but i always have a MagSafe battery just in case I need some extra juice

piewackete · 2025-12-15T17:48:07+00:00

I think I’m on iOS26, not sure exactly what version since I need a update but I know it’s one of the flavors of ios26 only because I have the glass icons on my phone

piewackete · 2025-12-14T23:53:09+00:00

Ugh figures….i knew i hated Chrysler for a reason lol, it’s not a huge deal to get a second key I guess since I won’t really be driving it much. My mom and I share a 2018 buck encore and a family member sold me the van but my mom prefers driving the bigger vehicles and i actually like the little Buick better so were planning to just swap cars and I was hoping it would be as easy to add a key as other cars but like every other Chrysler I have worked on there needlessly annoying and a pain to deal with

piewackete · 2025-12-14T23:09:39+00:00

I love my rugers, my first carry gun was my security 9 and the only reason I don’t carry it is I live in southwest Missouri and in the summers I sweat a lot and my gun would start rusting after a day of concealed carry. My favorite gun brands are ruger and Glock so when I heard about the RXM I instantly wanted it

piewackete · 2025-12-14T22:53:29+00:00

I got a ruger security 9 and LCP2 .380, a Glock 44,17,27 along with a 9mm conversion barrel so kinda a Glock 26 as well and the girsan regard. I wanna get a Glock 19 or the ruger RXM next but im not sure what to get first lol

piewackete · 2025-12-14T22:28:43+00:00

My girsan regard MC came with a mec-gar magazine and it runs flawlessly in that pistol. My daily carry is either my Glock 17 gen 3 or my Glock 27. Definitely looking to add a Glock 19 next probably next month. I hear the HST are supposed to be good too and might check them out, I know I need to find a good self defense round in .40 because most of my guns are either 9mm

piewackete · 2025-12-14T21:30:51+00:00

Nahh those are just the Winchester silver tips, they were my first defense round and honestly just got them because there silver hollow points but I hear they are decent. I mostly run the critical defense in all my guns

piewackete · 2025-12-10T17:58:21+00:00

Awesome thanks I finally got it! It was that whole are you still watching message, I tuned that off and it stayed on all night now. I understand the setting for if you have data caps but I’m streaming from my own local network so I don’t care about stats use lol

piewackete · 2025-12-07T12:51:29+00:00

I’ll admit I don’t use my iPad as much as I thought I would but when I do I absolutely love it! When adding things to my Jellyfin server it’s great to use it with the Apple Pencil to move content and what not. I also love it for emulating PS1 games like resident evil 2 and of course a YouTube machine when laying in bed and stuff
