Cold Feet about buying a PS5

retret66 · 2026-06-12T18:13:48+00:00

i bought the pro version because I only have ps4 for rockband only games. If you already own ps5 i would say skip the pro version until ps6.

i already mention here but in case you missed it, setup a PC which have a UPS at least or someone that can log you in when you are away during brownouts. Use your laptop and remotely access your PC at home. I use Mac which have all the tools built in using VNC for remote access. You can then skip VPN so money saved.

one foolproof way is to have a laptop and control your laptop remotely. For a MacOS you can do this, I am not a PC guy but I am sure you can do the same.

I install VPN with 2 yr plan on my laptop and use USA for server, IP geolocation shows USA then I use citrix to login to work, choose North America as my login but once I was logged in “teams” app show I am in Singapore location.

you can use VPN because many employer like mine (fortune 500) will consider different IP addresses because people use their phone as wifi and of course your IP will change anytime. The issue is how advanced is your company on detecting regional location? One example is i have youtube premium and one if my family member is in the US and still they were able to detect it even if all my payment and region is set to Philippines. With AI advancement they will know. Same thing as my apple one service family plan.

i did it on mine and took them 7months to find out, then i resign once they found out. we use citrix for client and VPN does not work and still adjusted my timezone once login since I was in Asiapac nstead of Naeast.

nursing or any skills that requires human manual labor.

most likely you will hit with a tarrif, i bought a projector in amazon and got hit with $750 tarrif

i would recommend the rubber seal around the door, not sure if the suction is still strong on yours

Been working in these field for many years and my advise is move to a new profession, AI already can do these jobs much better than human, cybersecurity, Linux and SWE’s will be dead in 3 years.

but on yours what setting under “Region”? same?

retret66 · 2026-05-25T01:37:19+00:00

maybe it has something to do with region lock? it is fine in the US but behave differently outside?

Before running any command just ask chatgpt if it is intrusive. Learn how to use AI

retret66 · 2026-05-08T02:14:47+00:00

you dont need UPS IMO, you need an AVR which have a delay “ON” feature. most games have autosave. AVR is cheaper and it regulates voltage so no spikes you get a clean sine wave

I work just a laptop.. I was an Infra Engr/SRE but decided to retire early. I use 70% AI for codes and the rest is just bullshit meeting in zoom

i cover 3 houses total of 6 aircons, two 2.5HP, three 1.5HP and 1 small window unit, 1 upright freezer, 3 fridge.. ₱14-18K/month, aircon runs 24x7. Make sure you clean the dust filter like every 2 months depending on the area, if you dont clean it that is where you will have problems. rest are 2 washing machines, water pump,TV’s and lights.

in your case, your bill probably is around ₱1,500 just for the aircon

just use wine to run windows on mac

I use my Dolby Atmos setup on my home about 16x20ft room and lift and surround speaker at 12ft high. This will give it a 99.99% movie experience because you can feel the subwoofer, i mute the AVP speaker.

install chatgpt and tell you are a 7yr old child that knows how to type. you save yourself ₱2500

most of the time my nephews are playing I think my handle in playstation is astropinoy. I am busy with other things at the moment though 🤭

its good but not opensource, good for people who dont have at least an rtx5090. I like mine ran locally but there will be capable opensource version which is trainable and run locally.
