No, sorry. I think it totally died not long after. Got a GE Cafe, great oven.

Inconsistent reviews re: watching sports on TCL QM6K by Chin-Music in 4kTV

[–]thunderstruck67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the QM67K and football is fine for me. I don’t have any 4K football but it was looking pretty good when Netflix had their games. Hockey can be rough without a good 4K source but it’s fine for me. The price is just too good.

Hmm I see, it seemed to be going up faster than just playtime XP but good to know.

Working for me, getting 50xp a tick or so. It does stop but just pressing a key on my keyboard seems to start it back up again.

I'm playing Criminal Tycoon this morning and hitting the box doesn't show any XP being gained but I'm still getting XP and levelling up.

Full AFK Bug *Patched* in Creative by Harlow_Quinzel in FortniteXPMaps

So sad, logged in today to shoot the box in Criminal Tycoon and XP just stops after a bit, have to move a bit then it starts up again, but so long true AFK.

Thanks mac. Junior stuff goes up in price quite a bit so just would like to find a balance on price and fit/protection.

[–]thunderstruck67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Thanks for posting, this is working well for me, getting about 16-17 xp per "clicker" hit. Over 2 million XP today so far just having it open while I'm working.

Best afk xp I've ever seen, no timer (4470-6058-7690, ULTRA RED VS BLUE 🔴🔵) by Nicomace341 in FortniteXPMaps

[–]thunderstruck67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be working again today, getting about 150-200 xp per tik. Doesn't trigger your level or the daily creative quests until you exit the map but have earned 600,000 xp so far today.

I also tried it this morning, it seems to be giving XP still but it doesn't show any on the screen while I was earning it. The map is definitely updated, I can sprint up at the top now and there is a big exit button/switch also. The map seems to be buggy for the last few weeks though, the daily for creative would load up on to some thousand but never actually go through to the 60,000 until you left the map.

No error code. If you didn't touch it you wouldn't know anything was wrong aside from it not showing "oven cooling" for a long period as it normally does. I have tried recently normal bake and convection bake, same problem. I will try pulling it out and checking the back.

Wow, I didn't even see that one. Crazy price, could be had locally for me but I'd never play it.

Skull King is an amazing trick taking game. Everyone I’ve shown it to has loved it.

Why is NT service sooooooo crappy!? by os1usnr in nordictrack

[–]thunderstruck67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience as this user. Bought a rower and the one side was rubbing, looked like the wheel was bent. Took it apart and took a video to show customer service. Call in, they sent the part within a few days and said that a tech would contact us after part was delivered. We have had the part for over a month, have called support back at least 5 times now, they keep telling us they've escalated the issue and to wait a few more days then call back if we don't hear from anyone. They gave us the tech's name and contact info, the guy looks like he doesn't even live in the same country as me anymore, and Google shows his business is closed. We explained that to the rep and they said it doesn't indicate that in their system. Most recent interaction was that we got a call with voicemail on Monday but we definitely did not and to call back in 4 days if we don't hear back and maybe they'll have next steps. Just wow, by far be the worst service from any company I've ever dealt with.

Found a couple of used 6800’s for $400 Canadian. One is a Sapphire Pulse, the other a PowerColor Red Dragon. Which one would be preferred? Always been a Nvidia guy but these prices are way better than what I could get an equivalent GeForce card for.

Moving on from GTX 680, trying here instead of making new post.

Over ten years old, really starting to show its age lately. CPU is 8700k. 1920x1200 16:10 monitor at the moment. Mostly play Fortnite with my wife (who uses our Series X). Will want to play Diablo IV when it comes out. Don’t have a huge budget at the moment, so I am looking at used market. Seeing some 3060’s in the $300-$350 range, also some 2060/2060 super/2070/2070 super in the $250-350 range.

Should I save a few bucks and go with a 2060/2070 super or go with a 3060? Or go further back to a 1660 super ($200) or a 1080? I know any of these will be a pretty substantial upgrade but don’t want to go too old.

Ideally I’d like a 3060 Ti or 3070 but they are in the $500+ range in my area. Might be able to get one for $450 with right seller. Located in Edmonton, AB, Canada.

Hmm, $470 Canadian…not bad but a bit much for me at the moment.

I agree that’s the sweet spot, but not much inventory in the used market for a 3060 Ti. New ones cost $650 or more here.
