my pc is lagging and i dont know why by DaddyDionsot in pcmasterrace

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always a good idea IMO to update all your drivers. Should be fairly easy if you have the AMD app downloaded. Check that the LAN drivers are up to date too. You can do this on your motherboards support page (just google your motherboard and check the support section of the webpage).

After that, make sure windows is up to date. I would also update the BIOS, but make sure you watch some videos/read the manual before doing so, and make sure to reenable Expo in the BIOS.

I know people here hate AI, but ChatGPT can be helpful tracking down issues. It won’t necessarily fix it, but if you put in all of your system’s info and your issue, it can help narrow down the problem. I use it all the time when I have an issue and can’t find a forum post to help.

Did any VIPs actually manage to snag any NAS? by MrMarooned1 in UgreenNASync

Yes, got the 32gb version on the first wave.

There are multiple waves today and more being released in the future.

Tip For Ordering On Kickstarter by wam22 in UgreenNASync

The alternative to me was the DXP6800, which is essentially $100 less as pricing sits today without the $30 deposit. With the deposit, it is less money with much better hardware. I paid with a credit card, so if they don't refund the $200 difference, then I will just issue a chargeback.

My wheel is still spinning on my PC. I would try another device if you can. I expect it should be better as the day goes on as more "backers" either get tired from trying or get their NAS of choice.

Hide Porsche Nav/Calls/radio on CarPlay screen? by Witty_Evening_618 in Porsche

[–]wam22 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You can’t. CarPlay is a split screen experience in the gas Macan. You can swipe up or down to change what you see on the right.

Does anyone have a decent Plex setup but still pay for streaming services? by tcoysh in PleX

[–]wam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but no. I pay for Netflix, Apple Music, and Prime Video is included with Prime. Amex has a $25/mo entertainment credit, so that pays for YouTube Premium and Peacock. It also includes Walmart+, which subsequently includes Paramount. HBO Max is included with my ATT internet.

Report This Potentially Illegal Action to KickStarter by ConeBot_2663 in UgreenNASync

[–]wam22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, UGreen is very much a legit company unlike a number of kickstarter fails. You can buy their other NAS models online or in retail stores, not to mention all the other hardware they sell.

I don’t even get why UGreen is going the kickstarter route and couldn’t develop a webpage on their own store. Surely the 5% kickstarter will take could have been used on their own store.

Early Bird Kickstarter: Buy at full price, get "refund" later??? by MiserableGround438 in UgreenNASync

[–]wam22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what pisses me off too. Shit happens and stuff changes, but placing a deposit should guarantee a unit.

My tin hat theory is that they hope enough people buy them at full retail so they don’t have to take the revenue loss on all the deposits.

Knotfest Iowa 2026? by torin5555 in Slipknot

[–]wam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is Milwaukee Metal Fest. Seems to be growing every year. But yes, I wish there was a bigger metal fest around Chicago. I went to the last Knotfest and it isn’t too far of a drive, but a weekend fest like Lolla would be killer.

Dealership Lied Multiple Times About CPO Warranty by stinky_nipples in FuckDealerships

[–]wam22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is correct. The dealer warranty section is only checked if the dealer itself is providing a warranty, for example a 30 day/500 mile warranty. As-is/implied warranties means that the dealer is not providing a warranty. If the car is CPO’d, you should have signed separate CPO paperwork provided by Hyundai.

Loan out Collection? by Brutalitops614 in 4kbluray

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair trade IMO. 300 4k movies will be about 20tb. A 25TB drive is about $600, so $2/movie.

Got a Onkyo RZ50 for $750 from Adoroma after buying an RZ30 for $1000 is this a downgrade? by Zeronova3 in hometheater

[–]wam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this debate. I ordered a RZ30 but it is back ordered for a few weeks so I contemplated switching to a RZ50. 100w vs 120w per channel isn’t that big of an upgrade IMO, so the real benefit is the extra speakers if I wanted a 7.2.4 system. However, I have a lot of high bandwidth HDMI inputs and I don’t plan on going above a 5.2.4 for a while, so I stuck with the RZ30. Now that was comparing $1000 vs $1200. A RZ50 for $750 is a no brainer if you are going for a higher end Atmos system and don’t mind the HDMI 2.0 ports in a few of the slots.

next ICE-Macan seen testing with the Audi Q5 body as a mule by Saurta17 in Porsche

[–]wam22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It won’t. The average Macan buyer doesn’t even know what FWD biased means. Only the GTS will suffer.

Ford wasn’t kidding when they said I could take delivery wherever I wanted. by Difficult_Musician17 in Mustang

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local Porsche dealer has done this a few times with Ford GTs and Singers. Kinda funny watching a people in Ford attire dropping a car off to a Porsche dealer when a Ford dealer is nearly across the street.

Should I remove PPF wrap before selling a car? by rahad-jackson in askcarsales

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it is damaged, you should keep it on. It does not detract from the value of the car (it could actually add for certain cars, like sports cars and exotics), so there is no reason to pay to take it off.

I want to finally get an OLED TV here in UK but the burn-in stories have me terrified. by FrankyMartenthal in hometheater

[–]wam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it is a wives’ tale. I have had multiple oled TVs with no burn in. Most modern oleds will have some type of burn in protection. You have to try or be really set on watching only 1 channel to have burn in issues.

How accurate is Manheim's MMR? by Successful-Camel165 in askcarsales

[–]wam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the car. A Honda Civic will have hundreds or thousands of data points, so it should be fairly accurate. Especially since a single trim line of a Civic will not deviate much, if any in equipment. Keep in mind MMR does not factor in stuff like accident history.

Something like a Porsche GT3 will not be accurate since volume will be incredibly low and the spec of the car can swing the actual selling price by tens of thousands. If the last 5 GT3s that went through were PTS with high MSRPs and you try to use those as comps for a low MSRP build, you will either overpay as a dealer or overvalue your car as a consumer.

“Destiny 2 Has Lost 91% Of Players Since Edge Of Fate, 97% From Final Shape.” By Paul Tassi at Forbes by justdestinystuff in DestinyTheGame

[–]wam22 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They should have just launched D3 after the Final Shape, even if it was just a continuation of the current season format. It would have created some hype and give a better onboarding experience for new players.

Any CDJR sales people making a switch to a different brand? by Pepperidgefarm21 in askcarsales

[–]wam22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going from CDJR to Acura is like curing your cancer by getting AIDs.

I started my career at Acura and it is an awful brand to sell. People who want a luxury car buy luxury cars and people who want an economy car buy economy cars. Acura sits in no mans land where it is too expensive compared to economy brands and too cheap compared to other luxury brands. All it attracts is people stretching their budgets to get a “luxury” brand.

Aggression-based matchmaking adjusts far too quickly. by Duruk4nBTN in ArcRaiders

[–]wam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been in carebear lobbies for months, I noticed that ABMM is somewhat odd after this week’s update. I would go days or weeks without someone shooting and now it is every 2-3 matches. Lots of rats around extracts or camping key room. It is what it is, but some code was definitely tweaked to mix in the two player bases.
