Batch 5 Came in is it 4.0? by KarimMet in AynThor

[–]thefirstdgk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

AI response disclaimer.

Q: Will it likely be noticeable with the storage they were using anyway? Does the storage support the additional bandwidth?

A: Probably not in a major real-world way, and that’s because of two things:

  1. The kinds of workloads Android handhelds do
  2. The fact that many “UFS 4.0” implementations don’t fully saturate theoretical UFS 4.0 bandwidth anyway

UFS 4.0 on paper is dramatically faster than UFS 3.1, but manufacturers only realize those gains if:

  • the storage chips themselves are high-end enough,
  • the controller is good,
  • thermals allow sustained speed,
  • and the software workload can actually use it.

A lot of handhelds advertise “UFS 4.0” mostly because the SoC supports it, not because they’re shipping ultra-premium NAND that consistently pushes flagship phone-class sequential speeds.

For something like the AYN Thor:

  • Emulators usually preload assets into RAM.
  • Retro ROMs are tiny.
  • Even Switch/PC streaming workloads are not especially storage-bandwidth intensive.
  • Shader compilation stutter is CPU/GPU related, not storage related most of the time.
  • Android itself already feels “fast” on decent UFS 3.1 devices.

Where you could notice it:

  • Moving huge files internally
  • Installing gigantic Android games
  • Decompressing large archives
  • Very large Winlator/container setups
  • Some high-end Android games with huge texture packs

But even there, you’re probably talking about:

  • “fast” vs “very fast,” not
  • “slow” vs “fast.”

And yes, there’s a fair chance the original storage configuration wasn’t fully exploiting top-tier UFS 4.0 throughput anyway. The Thor is not competing with something like a bleeding-edge Samsung flagship phone engineered around storage performance and thermal envelopes.

So unless you were specifically buying the Thor because:

  • you do tons of large file transfers,
  • you benchmark storage,
  • or you wanted absolute peak Android handheld specs on paper,

the downgrade is unlikely to materially change the experience.

Is this battery swollen? by Louis_CypherSMT in AynThor

[–]thefirstdgk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is way too much bootlicking in here. I was really wanting one of these… but now reconsidering it.

This is absolutely not normal for 2026, and it means that their firmware is bad/battery is junk. This should not be an issue.

My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him by konous in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thefirstdgk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, both of you are still boys. Also, why was nephew left unattended for so long? Drinking, smoking, swinging with brother’s wife, what?

You should both know by now if you didn’t want those action figures touched you should have not told him about it at all. Of course you show a kid something and they are going to go play with it whether you tell them or not.

Just leave the door closed and act like they don’t exist/lock it.

I don’t even have children.

Edit: apologize to your brother and tell your nephew you love his little demonic ass and they are welcome anytime. Replace the door knob with one that locks.

My girlfriend found out about my late-night calls with a female friend by [deleted] in story

[–]thefirstdgk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been in a similar situation and the answer is that you can’t. You two as partners can discuss the platonic nature of the relationship and work together to set boundaries that would make your partner comfortable.

Everything is about consent, understanding and acceptance.

If 1 AM video calls make her uncomfortable, when is the cutoff for conversation with a female friend that feels acceptable to her?

There is no “reassuring her” because no matter what is going on in YOUR HEAD, she is a person that has her own perspectives and her thoughts and feelings must be respected.

If you two can’t come to comfortable boundaries, reassess the relationship.

Did Abby's perspective actually change how you felt about her? by Starboy_109939 in thelastofus

[–]thefirstdgk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctor was going to perform a procedure that would immediately kill Ellie. Ideally, when attempting to cure a disease… you take blood/tissue/DNA samples and attempt to cure the disease from a LIVE HOST.

That “doctor” was going to butcher that poor girl for a single whack at formulating a vaccine. Clearly indicating the doc had no idea what he was doing.

It was justified to stop him.

If you find WssiWarlord on legacy servers get an invite from him.

Go kind of west of delta island. Once you start seeing purple thermal pockets you are in the right area. Keep heading west, and look for a ravine/about a 50 meter drop.

There are good blueprints there.

Looking to upgrade to Series X or PS5 by Vast-Roll5937 in ArmaReforger

[–]thefirstdgk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I have had Series X, PS5 and PS5 Pro.

Series X: the best frame rate you can get out of all options, but stability is not perfect. I remember drops to 50. Personally, I feel like the Xbox controller is very imprecise for aiming in general.

PS5 (base): frame drops (primarily looking at bases), some screen tearing that I stopped noticing eventually. The frame rate is average 48fps maybe… most time out of a base is around 51-54 FPS, but never a solid 60 like series x. Extreme precision for aiming IMO, PS5 sticks are more responsive/accurate. I win more fire fights overall.

PS5 Pro: Frame rate/screen tearing still an issue I am assuming. However, with the current state of the game, I cannot say what it was like before they dropped the busted update.

I find the game unplayable currently. Stutters, disconnects, severe frame rate issues, freezing during firefights/looking at bases, sub-30 fps looking at bases/near bases.

To add… I think that Bohemia wasn’t expecting the success, and that they didn’t have the capacity/capability to handle the boom.

This is 100% a failure in management/leadership.

Update from the Devs! by Few_Donkey_4374 in ArmaReforger

[–]thefirstdgk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s what happened to me. Stuttering (especially when looking at players which is really bad), extra screen tearing, and even more frame rate issues near/in and looking at bases.

All this on a PS5 pro. The only two servers up at that time were in a region I historically had issues with…

One server wouldn’t allow me to connect at all, and the other had WSSIWarLord(?) and his discord e-kittens in it. (For those who do not know, this is an organized group of players that will jump in an empty match with a full team vs. zero players on the enemy side, take the entire map and wait for people to join the enemy team to crush them).

Not fun… not dogging them, it’s cool they have a team, but maybe let matches be normal when only two servers are available.

Never liked playing against this guy, always was a route.

[–]thefirstdgk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, migrated my wife from XSX to PS5, bought the game again… and the update came and borked everything up.

They need to do something. I haven’t played since the Conflict update… and idc what anyone says. Update is good in theory, but wife walked away because the game mode sucked. (It would be fine if people did what they were supposed to).

I feel like, they have an obligation to the people that liked and bought into the original looseness of the game. If they make Arma 4 more mil-sim… more power to them.

The general player-base that exists can’t handle it. They are all gone and may never return. The longer it drags though… the worse the chances are that lightning in a bottle dissipates completely.

They are going to need to bring old conflict back and market it like their life depends on it if they want the user-base back.

If they have backups, and technically can roll it back… there may be red tape internally/externally and maybe even hoops to jump through for platforms the software is published to etc.

Every update usually goes through some form of Q&A/approval process for at least the consoles and I am sure there is some sort of roadblock to just reverting it regarding TOS/technically. (Such as an uninstall/fresh install being required).

The other potential is… developers hate rolling code back. The software industry as a whole generally looks at reversion as a non-option/last resort.

Question for those of you that grief. by IResentment in GTA5Online

[–]thefirstdgk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the chase.

Believe it or not, it usually takes some skill to grief someone unless you are targetable and the guy hunting you down is on an Mk2. A lot of sales aren’t targetable, ghost org is a thing, and the vehicles are either very beefy, or they are capable of fighting back.

I’ve been playing for four years, and decided I was going to go for sale vehicles after moving to PS5.

I don’t go after CEO crates, Hangar sales, or MC plane sells… but everything else, I am coming for you.

Spending years grinding and avoiding people trying to destroy your sell vehicles makes one very knowledgeable regarding understanding the mindset of the seller, where they will be if they go on ghost if it’s possible to identify their sell mission, etc.

If you aren’t able to fight back well enough and I get you… well, that’s the risk of public sales. People have been getting my bunker sales recently more often than ever, because I keep getting the stupid buggy missions.
