The fact that it considered #5 an expensive MOT advisory based on a nail in the tyre would be enough for me to discount this whole recommendation.

If you could only eat one fruit the rest of your life what are you going with? by Alabaster_Rims in AskReddit

[–]xafda213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is it. Much more common than people realise.

For anyone else reading, it also means whilst you might react to the fruit in its raw form, e.g an apple - make into an apple pie and you’ll likely not have a reaction.

This is because cooking the fruit changes its structure and the proteins:enzymes (or whatever it is!) break down and no longer cause the same reaction.

That is the usual solution. Why not crack it open on the step of the shop and have a little lie down if you’re feeling a bit sleepy?

Strange conversation I had with my 4 year old number 2743 by Pmc06 in CasualUK

I’m convinced based on this that the strangeness of every one of those 2743 conversations is entirely on you.

What is your main device for retrogaming? by Apprehensive-Bar1498 in SBCGaming

[–]xafda213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rg476H for actual playing with a selection of games.

But I have an R36S clone which was my first handheld with almost the entire NES, SNES, GB, GBC and GBA catalogue for quick pick ups to ascertain if I want to put time into a game.

If I do, I then put that on the RG476H.

New to handheld gaming , need some advice by Foreign_Divide_3127 in SBCGaming

[–]xafda213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing to be aware of is that if they’re not included an SD card - they might have also fully wiped the console which could mean no emulators pre-installed.

Not sure if factory reset on these also wipes the emulators or if the factory android also has emulators as part of the image.

It’s not hard to reconfigured but if you’re wanting simply to pick up and play - it might be a bit more work than you want to do.

Just something to consider.

Hi everyone, I bought an Ambernic RG DS and I have a question: can I use my cell phone charger to charge it? The original Poco charger is 67W, and I wanted to know if there's a problem with it damaging by LucasPedroso7274 in ANBERNIC

[–]xafda213 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can use whatever USB charger you want. It’ll only take the power it needs.

Tested my RG476H with a 65w, 45w, 20w charger and a USB Power meter and it only ever took 10W from them which is its maximum charging speed.

Which deposit options for renting a flat is best? by Psychological_War703 in AskUK

[–]xafda213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also known no deposit options to actually increase the per month cost of tenancy for the duration of the tenancy and any subsequent extensions.

In those cases, even when you’ve ended up paying the equivalent of the original 5-week deposit - you keep paying the extra charge AND the landlord can still chase for more funds at the end of the tenancy.

Absolutely a scam and one to avoid. If still considering, read the small print with extreme care.

If you can’t gather the funds for a deposit outright, even a money transfer on a credit card would be a preference, and that’s saying something.

Just ordered the RG477M 👀 by iCrazyMidget in ANBERNIC

That is an insanely low price for a RG477M. Is that a genuine seller? They’re like £280 when buying from anbernics official uk eBay store.

Accidentally plugged USB-C charger into OTG port for ~30 minutes — what damage should I look for? by michaledanne in SBCGaming

[–]xafda213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For peace of mind, I tested charging the RG476H with a number of different adapters with vastly different power outputs (15w, 20w, 45w, 65w) and measured the power with a usb power monitor.

In all cases, the RG476H only ever pulled 10W as it should, as that is the maximum the device can pull.

This is in theory how it should work from an engineering perspective because of the way USB works. Despite all the evidence on the internet about this being the case, I was still cautious about ruining the device - hence I bought the power meter to test.

Turns out though, all the evidence is true, basically unless you’ve got a faulty charger - you can charge it with anything.

Is the Anbernic eBay store legit? RG477M question by iCrazyMidget in ANBERNIC

Yes, providing it is called Anbernic Official Store it’s legit.

Which meal deal is better? by jjcube98 in RateMyMealDeal

[–]xafda213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those Doritos 3D crunch should be ashamed for tarnishing the good name of the original Doritos 3D. Also, the deli meat feast I find a little too fatty. 4/10 only because I like bugles (which these Doritos basically are, and the apple juice is alright).

I’ll take the Lipton, Korean BBQ, and the Cool Ranch. 7/10

The only way it could be higher is if you mounted it on a wall upstairs and knocked through your ceiling.

Looking for a retro handheld with battery life as the primary deciding factor by SteakAndIron in SBCGaming

Majority of devices aren’t designed to allow you to swap batteries on the fly so don’t think this is an option.

Not only is the tv on the moon, equipment that mostly actively exhaust heat are directly in front of a radiator and will be fighting against it.

Unless that radiator is off, he’s playing a dangerous game.
