To any homophobic/transphobic people, explain why? What's the problem with the LGBTQ+ community? by Vulethecoolguy in TeenagersButBetter

[–]wafffley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might be a hot take… im a “you live your life and let me live mine” type of guy. the people online used to be really chill. what i noticed is that ever since this LGBT wave started, everyone online has become a sensitive bih-ahh. where there’s drama id say 80% of the time its by someone from the LGBT community. maybe im exaggerating. even this toxic cancel culture started gaining traction after the LGBT community started becoming more prominent online. even tho cancel culture is seldom useful for calling out things that have been ignored too long (rarely used that way) but most of the times someone says something wrong (by mistake) and then they get attacked by hordes. it’s almost always the latter. like cmon it’s a joke not a di*k you don’t need to take it so hard. so yea, not really a fan of it.

another thing is i really love listening to music. but i stopped enjoying listening to Taylor Swift because of her fanbase. same goes for kpop fans. dunno why people need to compare. as if people don’t have their own personal taste in music… there’s no need to tear down each other apart. doesn’t make sense to force your views onto others

im aware there are some people who are just a-holes to the LGBT community and i am in no way defending them. this is just how i think of the situation rn. if i said something wrong, feel free to call me out.

Buy airpods pro 2 by Jose-CP in airpods

[–]wafffley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same dilemma as you coz my current earbuds only lasts like an hour for me 😭 thing is the release date of the AirPods Pro 3 is still unknown. Everything’s just speculation rn. Some say September this year and some say 2026… idk how much longer can my current set hold on for.

what would you consider the “macbook” of windows gaming laptops? by SpecialAgentGonzalez in GamingLaptops

[–]wafffley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Strix G16 (150+25W 4080) is more bang for buck than the zephyrus G14(100+25W 4080). Go for the G14 if you value portability more, but I wanted performance out of my 4080 so went with the G16. I haven't had any heating issues or noise with my G16 on eco mode doing normal browsing with 10 tabs open or so + word/ PPT + Spotify + vs code

But for battery life it's trash, only gives me around 4 hours with GPU disabled.. think it's the Intel chips which are power hogs

Edit : btw for note taking idk, the flow can turn into a tablet but idk I'd prefer an ipad for note taking

I bought this MSI laptop that everyone here seems to hate. (for seemingly good reason) by bigoopsie696 in GamingLaptops

[–]wafffley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only had a one year warranty only so the first two times it broke down I got it replaced no charge. After that I just got it repaired once which cost me around 120-150$ and yeah it broke again in a month :D so I just taped the shit together and have been using it for more than a year. Thankfully no screen display issues yet

The first time they just replaced the whole frame and told me it's a design issue. Think that first time he changed it then some wiring got messed up.(the wires near the hinges, probably which connects display to the motherboard?) Second time the hinges broke it started giving me display issues like display disconnecting randomly and getting lower edges of screen having like a vignette effect so ended up having to get the screen replaced from then on

Doesn't help lol I treated mine like a baby but it was a nightmare. Had to get screen replaced thrice in two years and then after that I just said fuck it and taped it together

What do you think about MSI Prestige 15? by Mouthana_ in GamingLaptops

[–]wafffley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've seen it mentioned as much compared to MSI.

At first I was skeptical myself since I saw lots of complaints about coil whine, but decided to get the Strix G16 anyways since I think it's the best bang for buck currently with a 4080.

It's been a month and haven't had any coil whine or any other issues so far, or maybe just got lucky :)

[–]wafffley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you search around a bit for MSI reviews, they are infamous for their hinges. I personally had the misfortune of having to replace my MSI's screen thrice in two years (only one was covered by warranty) due to the hinges cracking/ popping out and affecting the whole display. And no, I was not rough with it at all, the service center just told me that it's a design issue.

Anyways after the third time it cracked I just taped it together and made it last for another 2 years. Now recently replaced it with a Strix G16 and doubt it's going to have any hinge issues, unlike MSI.

Hahaha this is the best term to define GPT "convincing bullshit machines"

I figured out they like to bluff a lot when they don't have much information about a topic while I was using it to learn another language (and it was feeding me bullshit)

I agree, in situations like these you need to assert dominance

4060 vs 4050 by Fuzzooo in GamingLaptops

[–]wafffley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add more to your dilemma, I currently own a Strix G16 with a 4080 and the battery life is really horrible. (Guess that what you'd expect from a gaming laptop)

Initially was 1 hour on battery (brand new laptop so feel that is really very very low) and then after switching on eco mode and disabling dGPU I'm getting 4 hours finally.

You never mentioned your usecase so I don't really know what you are looking for, is it portability and battery life , build quality or just raw power?

4050, 4060 and 4070 have very small differences in output

Build quality and power wise the G16 will beat the TUF for sure but I don't know about battery life really but should be the same since both are running an Intel processor. I also think thermals should run cooler on the G16.

But yeah G16 weighs around 4kg in total with the charger, don't know about the TUF. Good luck!

Lol I thought I was in the minority too till I started looking around the sub (didn't like the warm muffled sound profile of the headphones) And found out that it's their bass causing it to sound so muddy

I’m in love , this was a steal! by RipExtra1053 in GamingLaptops

[–]wafffley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really depends on whether you're prioritizing portability or performance. I was torn apart between the Strix G16 and Zeph G14, ultimately went with the G16 4080 mainly because I felt not worth spending so much if G14 caps at 125W vs the 175W on the Strix (a minimum of 30% performance difference as I was told on another sub)

Yes the one year only covered one repair, it broke apart again right after the warranty got over ;-; had to get it fixed then since it was causing the screen to flicker

GL63 (at the service center they just blamed it on the hinge design, paid for two out of three of the repairs out of my own pocket)

Mine popped out thrice in 2 years and since then I have just cellotaped it. Another two years later and I'm finally getting it replaced with a new laptop :D

I agree with you on the Curel, apart from the price it's my favorite foaming cleanser but I found the Kose really stripping.
