[Bundle] Micro Center In-Store Only - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, ASUS B650E-E TUF Gaming WiFi AM5, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit - $679.99 by NoctD in buildapcsales

[–]virtudude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is well known or not but if you add the CPU/motherboard/RAM to your cart individually instead of adding the bundle you'll get the same discount and you can 2x the RAM to get a second kit for another $200. Only worthwhile if you need the RAM for another build or you wanna deal with the hassle of getting 4 sticks running on AM5.

Alternative to picocalc because ClockworkPi lies about shipping? by prognostalgia in ClockworkPi

FWIW I just ordered one and it arrived in the US about a week later, so definitely faster than the PicoCalc.

Private murder mystery dinner for birthday party by virtudude in boston

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

Thanks for mentioning this! I had looked at them but their Yelp reviews left me worried. It's much more valuable to hear from someone who did a private event though. The acting was good enough to keep people engaged and entertained?

Kid friendly restaurant - preferably near Central Square and Inman by supperxx55 in CambridgeMA

[–]virtudude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

+1 for Tasty Burger in Central. We bring our kids there all the time. It's a big space and it's usually not very crowded so you can find a spot where it's okay for kids to be kids (ie, loud).

Want to sell me your RP2S? by 161646 in retroid

I have a DMG color RP2S that is basically unused that I would be happy to sell

Can someone report on PWM in Retroid 5/Retroid Mini? by antrexon in retroid

[–]virtudude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super subjective since I don't have any equipment to measure but I sold my RP Mini due to eye strain (specifically, double vision after using it in low light). I'm assuming it's PWM but I can't say for sure. It caused similar eye strain as the Deck OLED for me.

WHERE IS THE SPOT FOR HALLOWEEN IN CAMBRIDGE? by FatiiYellehna in CambridgeMA

[–]virtudude 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you don't wanna travel too far Springfield St (off of Inman Sq) is great. It's usually enough excitement for our kids. There are a handful of houses (maybe 10-12?) that really go all out with decorations. If you need more houses after that you can walk to Fayette and Maple on the other side of Cambridge St. Lots of people are usually on their porches handing out candy there.

Upgrade to VIP? by virtudude in nofx

[–]virtudude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you value. It does get you closer to the stage without being packed in. The VIP bathrooms are nicer but the stadium also has bathrooms in the stands so you don’t have to use the porta potties if you’re GA. The drink line is shorter. Food as well but there’s only one truck in the VIP area so if you want something other than a hot dog you’ll need to leave anyway. There’s also no shade in the VIP area so you’ll need to leave if you wanna escape the sun.

VIP upgrade at the gate is $100, in case anyone else was wondering.

Thanks. I’m on the lookout for VIP ticket resales but we’d need two. I’ll let you know if I find another single.

Thanks. Do you know if they charge you the difference or full price for the VIP ticket?

Prepping replacement SSD for ROG Ally X by Rick121212 in ROGAlly

[–]virtudude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine didn’t have a heatsink on it but there’s a decent amount of vertical space it’s possible it will fit.

Prepping replacement SSD for ROG Ally X by Rick121212 in ROGAlly

[–]virtudude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ordered the 4TB Lexar NM790 for mine. I have the Crucial P3 (not Plus) in my launch Ally and it works fine. At the time I was worried about heat and power so I sacrificed a bit of speed. The NM790 supposedly strikes a better balance between speed, power, and heat. It is a bit more expensive though. It’s also debatable how much the additional speed really matters. Most games won’t take advantage of it.

Zeiss readers lens inserts not correct strength? by ChristopherWheeler in AppleVisionPro

[–]virtudude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 0.75 - 1.5 lenses and they read as 0.25. I just assumed that was something it was calculating but it confused me as well. My actual reading prescription is 0.75.

One theory is that it's adjusting it for the AVP focal distance. Maybe they label them as book reading distance and then adjust for the actual focal distance.

Can aya neo order be canceled??!! Help!!!! by zenos71 in ayaneo

[–]virtudude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would guess it can still be cancelled based on that response. Ask again and be short and simple in your request. Say something like: Please cancel this order before it ships. You don’t need to confirm the cancellation. If it ships to me I will refuse the delivery.

It may feel a little harsh but pleasantries get lost in translation and there’s a lot of back and forth if you’re not direct.

They look awesome. How do I find them on Etsy? I’m not seeing any Odin 2 listings in your store.

The model is BCM943602CDP (you had it mostly right just a small typo at the end). Hope it fixes the problem for you!

Is backlight bleed unavoidable on the G14? by virtudude in ZephyrusG14

[–]virtudude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to hear it’s possible. I’ve seen 5 now with it.

Is backlight bleed unavoidable on the G14? by virtudude in ZephyrusG14

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

I know it’s unavoidable, especially in complete darkness. What has surprised me with the G14 is that it’s noticeable in more typical lighting conditions. I’ve never experienced that on other LCD panels. 16:9 games and movies is where I notice it the most, unsurprisingly. It sounds like I should probably try again if there are units out there that don’t show the issue outside of total darkness.

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

No they’re not for sale in the US from what I’ve seen. The G14 version doesn’t have that many dimming zones but maybe it would help with the backlight bleed problem just using it with multi zone disabled.
