  1. This was lost in shipping for 2 months but arrived today. I like the look of the watch, but I am definitely ordering new straps for this thing the included ones aren't too good.
  2. Following the merging of software between Oppo and Oneplus I was under the impression that stock Android was about to become harder to get..... Long story short it was between the Pixel and the iPhone 13 Pro. However, the retailer had also bundled in a pair of AirPods gen 2, which I knew were really good. So i bought the iPhone. Not too impressed but since I'm less of a phone nerd these days (was into ROMs and custom kernels) I've found it to do the job and I have no complaints. I do wish I bought the 13 Mini rather than the Pro though. Began looking into getting a new laptop since I would begin my master's this summer and my Lenovo had a terribly decayed battery. NotbookCheck raved about the new m2 air. I decided to buy it and I'll honestly say that its the best laptop I've ever had. I would not want it to be my only computer though.
  3. Although I did used to think Macbooks were not worth buying (still the case for intel based Macs), the new Apple silicon macs genuinely seem like a great school computer. So entering my masters i decided to replace my terrible battery lenovo ideapad with this. Very happy with it in terms of battery life and keeb+ trackpad.
  4. Is there any significant difference between using safari and Firefox on the newer m-soc based Macs? Ive bought an m2 air and would prefer not to use safari, but there seems to be a consensus that safari is more efficient than other browsers on macOS. Is this the case?
  5. I think the difference between going from 60 to 120 is very noticeable in terms of just smoothness. In terms of competitive advantage, I don't think the average person has a good enough reaction time to fully utilize 240hz and beyond. My reaction time hovers around 150-160ms as I've gotten older (The average is about 250-280) and the jump from 144hz to 240hz was kind of noticeable but not groundbreaking. Playing enabling strobing made a more dramatic difference to me. 240hz with strobing is lightyears better than 60hz.
  6. I would venture to guess that it would depend heavily on where you are from and the quality of life you are used to. As a Norwegian, I don't find living in any other country appealing. From an outsider's perspective, Canada seems to have the highest quality of life on the American continent.
  7. Whats wrong with hairloss medication lol. Although its better to buy the medecine directly rather than through companies that mark it up.
  8. I bought one of those smart rings like Linus has, primarily to track my sleep. I don't really like to have a watch on when I sleep, and I prefer to wear my own watches, so I chose this over an Apple Watch. The heart rate monitor is also nice to have. Unfortunately, from my understanding, the heart rate monitor is not really that accurate yet during workouts.
  9. No i have not. I may consider the wallet, the vessi shoes are ugly imo so i will not buy them.
  10. If youre an evil person you may recommend Factiorio. The game is literally crack cocaine.
  11. Tarkovs anti cheat is very bad. For the longest of times you could easily edit the game assets and literally copy paste the md5 checksum to pass the local integerty check. Server side is easily dealt with Fiddler. Im not even sure theyve patched it to be honest. There should be kernel level anticheats like there is in Valorant.
  12. Im thinking of bying this battery for my 3 Year old Lenovo: https://www.lenovobatt.com/lenovo-batteries/lenovo-ideapad-s540-13api-81xc001uhh-replacement-battery.htm Does anyone have experince with this site? I know sourcing replacement oem parts is a minefield...
  13. Lightweight mice are simply better than heavier mice for anything that require fast and accurate movement. I went from an 85 gram zowie fk2, to a 47 gram ultralight 2 to a 38 g wolves hsk. Putting shape improvments aside, the reduction in weight makes it much easier to flick its insane.
