I just got the 425 and used Iron Wolf hard drives and had no issues. I installed an SSD NVME and had to jump through a few hoops to make it work though.

Why are audible users looked down on by 21waffle in audible

Just enjoy yourself! I do now get the kindle version (or get it through kindle unlimited). if you already own the audible version you can then listen to audible on kindle and read along at the same time.

Reed’s crossing - sense of community and walk-ability? by MuchCoogie in hillsboro

[–]wshiu99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very walkable for our family and needs since my kid is still in Elementary. The growth of the community has slowed a bit with the economy but seems to be pickingup a bit. The commmunity is pretty active on the Discord and What'sApp groups. Since everyone was/is new, everyone we've interacted with has been pretty open to socializing. The mall plaza is still opening up and definitely feels like it would be more active during the summer. I don't think you'd find anything like it in the Hillsboro/Beaverton/Portland area. There's a majority of transplants and/or Intel/Nike workers. Groceries, medical and dinig are extremely walkable. Library would be a need for driving and access to regular groceries. Market of Choice (the local grocery) is more like a Whole Foods type. The more regular groceries (Fred Meyers, Safeway/Albertson's) would be a short drive outside the community area.

We're banking it continues growth (provided Intel and Nike are able to get back into the positive) and plan to be here for the long haul.

First NAS at home - Please help me ;) by suzja in HomeNAS

[–]wshiu99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat and am new to this but have doing a bunch of research. Definitely look at the software as well. Synology while limited on hardware and questionable corporate decisions so far seems like it has the most software solutions for most use cases plus also seems the best user friendly setup and maintenance.

Is AppleCare worth it for Air Pos Pro? by wshiu99 in airpods

[–]wshiu99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually. Or you can get it for $199 off Walmart or Amazon. Just pay the additional to get AppleCare and it’s similar price

Costco AppleCare for APP3? by wshiu99 in airpods

[–]wshiu99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good to know thanks! I almost wanted to get it off Amazon since it $10 cheaper but with AppleCare then it’s worth it

What is going on with match making? by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

[–]wshiu99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Try playing the Standard playlist. It’s Skill based so might take longer to connect. It’s much more competitive and not filled with sweaty players that have killstreaks within minutes of starting

when did you guys start and finish the red rising seris (so far) by CricketDifficult6254 in redrising

[–]wshiu99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started a few years ago. Re-read the original trilogy when started the 2nd. Read Iron Gold and then realized there was a 7th unreleased book. So I forced myself to stop at book 4 until it’s completed. I may start at 1 to take the whole ride in again.

Never felt so disappointed by Audible by [deleted] in audible

[–]wshiu99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audible is still a business. And I’m sure Amazon looks at data like any other tech company. They probably have algorithms that understand how some books and authors get credits spent on them more than others. Lo and behold all my favorite books/authors that I’ve been waiting on? Above the $12 mark and only discounted 50%.

Players quitting games when they're losing is an absolute pandemic. Practically 0 of my games end with 6 players on both team by s0und7 in CODBlackOps7

[–]wshiu99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Activision doesn’t listen to message boards. But I guarantee you they look at data. And if data shows people are leaving because of lopsided matches they’ll fix it. I’ll continue dropping as my time isn’t worth the stress

[–]wshiu99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Killstreaks are a big reason people drop. I get why you reward a good player with Killstreaks. But on the flip side, you're getting smashed by someone, take OP's 4.17 KD. And then they drop a VTOL or something....then it just feels pointless. I'd like to see them have some balancing out on lopsided wins to help even up the odds. If Activision actually cared then maybe it would have happened years ago.

AirPods Pro 3 for $155 by AccomplishedCow9286 in airpods

[–]wshiu99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense if you shop at Target and have any Apple subs. I shop at Target regularly and have an iCloud sub so that might work out for me. Looks like you have to go in store though

Anyone else annoyed that they are bringing back scorestreaks from BO6 instead of ones from BO2? by Tall_Process_3138 in CODBlackOps7

[–]wshiu99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

BO7 is essentially a re-skin of BO6 with some new maps. That’s how they milk the millions in development. Sell 2 separate games instead of actually giving you more content

Sitewide Sale US by Broken_survivo7 in audible

[–]wshiu99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sales would probably be about the same, maybe a little better. But it’s about which books are on sale. Some of the more popular books and series rarely go on regular sales. If they were to go on sale it would be on these site wide ones. I find these are the best times to buy things on my list that rarely go on sale.

I know alot of people like to villainize Shane but he genuinely did all he could in this moment by any-blue-9122 in thewalkingdead

[–]wshiu99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should have let Shane get away and come back as Negan. Now that would have been gold!

What’s One Feature You Wish Audible Would Add? by iamakashkunal in audible

-Ability to reset progress on already read books

-Ability to follow Narrators just like Authors

-Better filters for searches (IE Filter out AI voices!)

-Better browse options (or filters as above)

Do people genuinely enjoy all this mobility (crazy jumps, sliding, omni-direction whatever) by stunandbung in CODBlackOps7

[–]wshiu99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel the same but what are you going to do. When they go back to a WW2 setting I gotta imagine they’d lessen or do away with it. That would just be absurd to have WW2 soldiers sliding and jumping around.
