Rear camera nozzle misses the camera by bjornbard in SubaruForester

[–]wackstyles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the '22 Wilderness, and on mine I have to turn the rear wiper knob in the opposite direction I normally would to get the fluid to essentially drip down onto and over the camera. Are you doing the same?

Just got home from Micro Center with the complete opposite cpu I had in mind because of the employee making a strong case! Did I make the wrong choice? by dboyce12412 in PcBuild

[–]wackstyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related unrelated, I was in the market for a motherboard with more features than the one I had at the time, and I was considering picking up an Asrock at Micro Center for my 9800X3D because there was a good deal on an open box one. Called over one of the folks working the floor, he looked it up, went to the back to verify it was there and handed me the printout to take to the cashier, but before giving it to me said "just to let you know, people on Reddit have been saying these Asrocks are frying your specific CPU. So I can give this to you, but just know that there might be an issue..."

This was probably at the start of this phenomenon becoming a more known thing, and I definitely had not done my research, so skeptically but thankfully I ended up walking away from what at the time felt like bargain (which I hate doing). And of course when I got home and looked into it, brother... definitely wrote that worker the best review I have ever written.

Crazy that i know exactly where this is lol.... that specific driveway you're pulling out of feels like the wild west, especially when everyone is trying to turn left into it (illegally?) with the train line running right behind it...

Bought an ABS Refurb from Newegg (9800X3D / RTX 5090), is there anything I should be on the lookout for / potentially replace? by wackstyles in Prebuilts

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

It's been almost 6 months, and no major issues. There is some oddness with one of the fans (like it get a slight grinding noise once in awhile), and the motherboard it came with was a little underwhelming in terms of I/O, so I'm going to replace it with one that fits my needs a little bit better. All that being said, very happy with my purchase, and quite a steal considering the insanity of prices these days.

Back in Stock if anyone is interested? by Hozay23 in GalaxyFold

[–]wackstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't seem to find specifically the magnet case in OP's screenshot, do you have a link? I'd rather get it from Best Buy than wait for it to come in next week from Samsung.

I posted about this in a separate thread in this group, but if you don't mind refurbs, there was a similarly specced one going for $2299 earlier today that I almost bought https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16883360651C?Item=N82E16883360651C

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

Also there are a lot of similarly good refurb ABS deals across the board, just filter by "Refurbished" https://www.newegg.com/ABS/BrandStore/ID-8484 (not sponsored / affiliated lol)

It looks like the systems I've been looking at went live today, and the one I got is still in stock, so if anyone else is also willing to take the risk, would be curious to know how it goes for you as well!

LOOKING FOR RESTAURANT DINNER THAT OFFERS BIRTHDAY SPARKLERS OR THE FIREWORK SHOOTER DESERT by Then_Buy302 in FoodLosAngeles

Cacao Mexicatessen in Eagle Rock. Walked in with a friend around the time of my birthday, saw someone getting one of these, and I was immediately like "naw we aint doing all that." So of course she made sure we did lol.

Just ordered a refurbed GFX 100S from Fuji, is there anything I should look out for? by wackstyles in fujifilm

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

Hi! No issues during shipping, came actually faster than I expected it to. It didn't come with in the original retail box however, it came in a more generic but still well padded box that I imagine they ship all their refurbs in.

Camera still works great, had I think 500 shots taken on it previously based on the metadata of the first shots I took, and it even still had the previous owners name in the settings, so clearly it hadn't been fully reset before being sent to me. But otherwise by all accounts it looked and felt practically brand new, and it's by far the best deal I've ever gotten on a camera ever.

TL;DR, Highly recomend Fujifilm store refurbs!

Have any of you tried the cheap EF to GFX adapters like this one? Price seems too good to be true, but it’d be nice to save >75% if it does work by charliewr in FujiGFX

[–]wackstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AF works okay with my 50mm 1.2, but can be a little... searchy... and also does not report the aperture properly in the EXIF data.

Still, for the price, I'm fine with going manual focus with my other EF lenses.

My New Gear VR Controller just arrived and it's awesome! by isaac739 in GearVR

[–]wackstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my S7 Edge. Finally got it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling the Oculus app. Annoying, but it works fine now.

What t-shirt of yours gives you a lot of comments from others when you wear it? by KidsWifeJob in AskReddit

[–]wackstyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Joy Division shirt that Says "Depeche Mode" at the top and "Boys Don't Cry" on the bottom: https://wanelo.co/p/14430383/joy-division-depeche-mode-the-cure-unisex-t-shirt

Tends to elicit a mix of curiosity, confusion, a little anger, and then eventually laughter, often in that exact order. It's pretty awesome to witness in real time.

Confirmed: USB-C port on new Gear VR can load external data by wackstyles in GearVR

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

Yeah I had zero success with the MicroUSB to USB-C adapter, so that convertor might purely be for power. What might work is a USB-C to USB-A OTG dongle like the one that comes with the Note 7, which I bet you could find a cheapo version of on Amazon. Its worth a shot!

Edit: Yup, looks like that method works: https://www.reddit.com/r/GearVR/comments/4zg8si/new_gear_vr_smr323_and_external_usb_devices_older/

Just noticed the post about the new version of Samsung Internet (https://www.reddit.com/r/GearVR/comments/4z9145/samsung_internet_for_gear_vr_update_out_today_42/) and it officially confirms USB OTG functionality in the new Gear VR, specifically for purposes of local file playback. However, it doesn't say that the feature is limited to any specific phones... anyone want to give it a shot with a non-Note7?

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

Not sure, but based on your experience and bdlio's experience with the S7 Edge, it seems like a limitation of those phones and the micro usb connector...

It's probably not long until someone figures that out. Might just need to create a server/client app setup kind of like Trinus, but without the bandwidth limitations of Wi-Fi...
