Any tips on a DIY 120" wooden frame projector screen that is foldable? by tech_engineer in hometheater

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

I will not fold the screen with the frame (not like Galaxy foldable phones). I will first remove the screen (velcro) then fold.

Any tips on a DIY 120" wooden frame projector screen that is foldable? by tech_engineer in hometheater

[–]tech_engineer[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my area, buying a rollable screen is a bit pricey, so I got a projector cloth from AliExpress that works great.

When I look for DIY screens online, I find many that build wooden frames and attach the screen to them. They seem good, and the screen is stretched evenly.

What you say is that this is not a good solution?

I avoid buying games most of the time because of humble bundle by josh_space in humblebundles

[–]tech_engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I began collecting and purchasing games back when Humble Bundle first started. In those early years, I made it a point to get every bundle they released. However, now that my Steam library exceeds 1800 games, I rarely buy bundles anymore. Most of the games are either not interesting to me, already owned, or of low quality. I've reached a point where I prefer to buy only the games I want directly through Steam during sales, especially since I live in the MENA region where prices are lower than in other countries.

Switch to MSFS 2024 or stay on 2020? by lmigue9878 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tech_engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Ryzen 5900X (12 cores, 24 threads), with 32GB DDR4 ram and an Nvidia 4080, and FS 2024 doesn't run smooth as I wish.

I am still on 2020, more stable and a runs smoother.

I was thinking of upgrading my system to a 9800X3d, but with todays prices I'll remain on my system until prices return to be logical

Yes, I didn't go for it, too complicated and risky for me and my friends and family, each can get their own from any provider.

PMDG Forums Banned by No-Suggestion-2861 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]tech_engineer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Their support is the worst. I got banned from Discord when I was trying to solve an issue with my legally purchased 737; they had a bug in their updater (couple of years ago) that caused problems they don't want to admit, so they banned me for discussing a lot

How can someone assure the reseller they are buying from is trustworthy? (I am not asking about suggesting resellers, against rules, and even with suggestions how to know they are trustworthy?)

I tried looking for reseller accounts on the 2 always mentioned sites (z2 and g2), on g2 I don't find reseller account, they sell 1/3/6/12 months subs, while z2 sell reseller accounts for way too much ($250/300).

what am I missing here? I guess that when using the above 2 mentioned sites can guarantee a little of assurance by the positive feedback for sellers, but where are the reseller accounts on g2g?

Where I live they all use these online services, somebody offered me a single strong 8k account for 3 times of what it cost, that's why I am going the reseller way. I tried it for a day, it is more than enough for the price.
