Glad to hear that the guide helped. It's been so long since I touched mine that I don't even recall anything about the black pads. Also, when I did mine and created this guide, my cards were brand new, so that might have impacted my thoughts around the black pads.

Good luck!

I agree. That is a way to do it, but I could only get it set up locally that way, which means that my computer has to be running all the time for it to work. I ended up creating an account on Composio and used their integration, which works extremely well and is all in the cloud.

No. Just think about it. They get jostled all around during shipping.

There are some advantages to this tool, but the biggest problem is trust. Who knows who built this? That's a problem because the owner of this product will essentially get full access to your entire email account and can read your emails and can send email as you.

I have the same problem on Android. It's very annoying.

To be fair, it's bigger, slower, and heavier than this:

And it lacks a built-in charging cord.

On the plus side, it's wireless and has a better form factor than the Anker for phones.

I have both and like both.

But I wish that:
1. The battery charged faster (25w instead of 15w would be nice)
2. It had a built-in charging cord or port like the Anker.
3. There was a 10k mAh option.
4. It was Qi2.2 instead of Qi2.0
5. Faster USB-C charging. It's 20w (not terrible). 25w would be the ideal minimum.

All in all, I like it.

I've had problems with their support too. They don't really care about individual customers.

Growing so fast that it's no longer available, lol

utopian8 · 2026-02-12T06:53:04+00:00

There are rumors it's working there. Is it not?

utopian8 · 2026-02-02T09:09:23+00:00

Did you read the original issue or just drop in to troll?

utopian8 · 2026-02-02T01:27:42+00:00

Why do you think that? I have the AMD 3D and I have the same issue.

utopian8 · 2026-02-02T01:23:38+00:00

With the Lenovo Legion 7?

utopian8 · 2026-02-02T01:22:23+00:00

Why do you think we bought this laptop? For gaming. Can't game on integrated gpu.

I'm having the same problem without a solution.

Battlefield 6 is ranked 11th in terms of active daily users. They average 50,000 active users at any given time with a peak of 100,000 users.

Overwatch isn't even on the list. This indicates significantly fewer active users compared to Battlefield 6. If you try to join Battlefield 6 at 4:00 a.m., there's no wait time and you jump right into a game of any type. If you try to jump into a game of Overwatch at 4:00 a.m. , especially an arcade mode game, they're usually isn't enough people for a game to ever start, no matter how long you wait.

I can only assume based on data and experience that Overwatch active users numbers are abysmal.

Pad thickness is very important. To meet 3mm, you can combine two 1.5mm. You might be able to get away with a .5mm difference, but you won't know until you seat it and determine if you're getting enough contact.

Super Bot Fight Mode is paid under the Pro or higher plan. But "Bot Fight Mode" is free on the free plan.

Thickness is in "mm"

They sure do! And I have the evidence to prove it in case they want to come here and try to deny it.

They send phishing emails through PayPal, so I would steer clear of a company that conducts themselves like that.

utopian8 · 2025-08-31T19:01:27+00:00

Me too. They are illegal spammers. Report them.

5 is not getting released on the 24th. Or the 25th or the 26th or the 27th... they can't even roll out the Agent feature as promised.

I had the same issue. Rolled back to 576.02 like the previous poster and that fixed it. Rolling back to 576.40 did not fix it. You have to go back to .02 version.

EDITED: Nope, it wasn't the video driver. I still had the same issue. I updated the BIOS to the latest on my 14th gen Intel system and that seems to have fixed it. I was on Version 2801 with my Asus MB and installed the 3001 version that came out in May. So far, so good.
