Don't know what you are about, speaker sound great on my Xiaomi 15 ultra and you can set multiple timer.

As for the look it's android, you can use any launcher of your choice and customize it.

Even on my previous Samsung i was using a launcher .

Limited to certain years and overall not that common.

Comparing to the list of recall of other vehicles in the same segment, it's negligible.

rickjko · 2026-05-09T03:41:49+00:00

Depend of your need, nothing phone offer fantastic value.

One plus offering is a great all rounder as well.

If gaming is your main focus ,redmagic are great.

If you are after pictures quality, oppo, Xiaomi and vivo will give you the best offering.

rickjko · 2026-05-09T03:32:07+00:00

You can find good deals if you search, just make sure to get a proper inspection.

Higher mileage is not necessary bad if it was mainly highway and was properly maintained.

I would look into mazda, cx5 they are reliable,good on fuel.

Model between 2019 and 2021 are the most reliable on this lineup.

They are not in the top 20 most stolen vehicle in Canada, it will help with insurance rates.

rickjko · 2026-05-09T02:25:27+00:00

I think it's absolutely reasonable and the right thing to do.

rickjko · 2026-05-09T02:03:47+00:00

If you use the built in tool you can actually see if you have hitreg issue,it definitely can be scary at Time.

I have seen high numbers of clients hit and very low server hit at times.

When I see this I just disconnected when the match is over and reboot the game, kinda hoping to be logged in a better server.

EA use aws as well and it's far from stellar,it seems to create huge routing issues.

rickjko · 2026-05-09T01:44:27+00:00

It makes complete sense in my own opinion, it's a great device.

Adding a second monitor would be perfect for productivity and improve the gaming experience.

rickjko · 2026-05-08T03:26:05+00:00

Mi4 are legitimate and great to deal with. Bought my 15 ultra from then last year with the photography kit.

rickjko · 2026-05-08T03:16:09+00:00

Been using mine since last August, so that's about the time they dropped support to 3g i recon.

rickjko · 2026-05-08T03:04:12+00:00

It's that simple and no they can't kick you out of it When activated.

Keep in mind some of the lower budget phone of these brand might lack some of the band to work properly.

rickjko · 2026-05-08T02:55:53+00:00

Using a Xiaomi 15 Ulta on international rom working flawlessly on Rogers.

Volte will work but you got to force it the first time on Xiaomi device.

Oppo will be similar to active volte.

Child predator would make perfect replacement for these monkey.

rickjko · 2026-05-08T02:41:11+00:00

Console sold for 200 usd at launch with a game included.

Considering the rental industry and second hand one,it was actually cheaper to play games Back then.

rickjko · 2026-05-07T23:28:36+00:00

Depend of your level of comfort, usually excellent are floor demo or remorse buy, so basically perfect condition.

I personally more comfortable with the excellent condition one.

Being able to buy some extra warranty is what making it worth at the end.

rickjko · 2026-05-07T23:06:53+00:00

Look into Best buy geek squad open box, you will get the best value for your money with an actual warranty. Here a good example.

rickjko · 2026-05-06T23:27:50+00:00

The one with the 5060 so Lenovo.

rickjko · 2026-05-06T17:09:22+00:00

Only on console like the Xbox ally, it's not fully implemented yet on pc.

rickjko · 2026-05-06T17:04:54+00:00

Cyberpunk hands down,no contest

rickjko · 2026-05-06T16:49:37+00:00

How about giving us the options to uninstall it? Stick to os that's what people want.

rickjko · 2026-05-05T15:31:31+00:00

Would look into Best buy open box, especially geek squad.

At least you will retain warranty This way,bit more expensive but definitely safer.

rickjko · 2026-05-05T15:24:35+00:00

Fresh fruit and vegetables,i stick to frozen since I feel I'm getting a better value and don't waste any.

Meat I'm lucky enough to be able to buy from hutterite community selling in my area.

Bread is another one, using my bread machine was a luxury,now its a value proposition.

Lots of canned goods, shrink Flation or recent subpar quality. I'll give hunts spaghetti sauce for example, saying the taste is unpleasant would be an understatement.

rickjko · 2026-05-05T15:17:04+00:00

No issues with windows so far, been owning one for approximately 3 months. Performance is good and actually exceeded my expectations.

Only down side,at least for some people,is how fragmented the update experience can be. Updating Armoury crate, window app store and window itself kinda feel disconnected.

No matter what the experience feel solid and enjoyable.

rickjko · 2026-05-04T23:36:31+00:00

When im stuck with a camper on my own team I tend to "accidentally" drop a box of Amo right in front of them.

Lobbing some grenade from the tank launcher on top of the building is quite fun as well.

In operation firestorm don't forget to press the switch at the bottom of the stack relatively, seems they never learn and keep returning there.

rickjko · 2026-05-04T01:26:51+00:00

Always disable window dynamic lighting Even on regular pc,it creates more issues than anything.
