  1. Huawei Mate 20 Pro in the US

    I'm using the phone on google fi which uses T-Mobile's network, no issues. It's about to get locked out of updates but if you weigh pros and cons, your best bet is to hang onto it. You'll lose too much if you trade it in now and you'll have to spend a lot to get a comparably performing phone...
  2. I can't stand the stupid curved edge screen on my Samsung. What am I doing wrong?

    My new phone has curved edges but the only issue I had with that was the case selection. Bumper cases just didn't have a big enough "lip" to protect the edge of the screen so I bought a flip cover case, already saved the phone once.
  3. What are your surprise games of 2018?

    If you liked Limbo, give Inside a shot. My surprise game of 2018 is Hunt: Showdown. I cannot touch another fps since I started playing. I was in closed alpha for a major upcoming AAA title yet hunt drew me away some of the very limited alpha duration.
  4. Got a good GPU? Think 1080p upscaling to 4K is a gimmick? MPC-HC+madVR will change your life!

    You guys are a couple months late... This is the only GPU accelerated media solution that I am aware of. All IQ options are very transparent in settings, "faux filters" have their own separate tab in the settings menu. If I crank the settings up, there is definitely an IQ improvement observable...
  5. GeForce GTX 1180, 1170 and 1160 coming in August. Prices inside

    I need a single card to outperform 2x980TI and it looks like the next TI might pull it off. I'm itching to get away from SLI. If we are taking guesses at launch order, 2080 announced next week, $3k titan two weeks from now, $1K "gaming" Titan a month before holidays and then April for TI card.
  6. $35,000 Tesla Model III Is Coming In 2017

    If Tesla can endure another year, down the road they'll be in position to capture significant market share. X is a luxury SUV, S is a luxury sedan, the 3 will lose federal incentives before the base model is available and even the base model is still not cheap enough to truly go after Accords...
  7. Using my 65" TV as a regular monitor - doable?

    I have that TV, using it as a monitor only for a little over a year now. PC mode is the minimal input lag mode, IIRC, HDMI port 2 is the only port to use the PC mode (check the user guide) unless you start renaming hdmi ports. At it's size range, it was the best option in terms of 4:4:4 chroma...
  8. Ordered a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, user review coming soon

    There was a long browsing session, (was researching smartwatches) some 30 minutes gaming and reading a book, you can see the steeper decline for that period. I plugged the phone in soon after the screenshot. I think 6 hours SOT is doable but will drop you to 25% or lower. Your mileage may vary...
  9. Ordered a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, user review coming soon

    Regarding unlocking bootloader: You have to create a mi account, fill out a request describing why you want to unlock the bootloader. It's nearly automatic and almost 100% approval rate but still, a unnecessary hoop to jump. Once request is approved (typically within 15 minutes) you have access...
  10. Ordered a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, user review coming soon

    After a week of testing (and switching over to project fi) I'm very pleased with the phone. I did upgrade from a 2014 OPO so it was easy to be impressed but after quick hands on comparisons with typical contenders, (S8, G6) I still feel the mix 2 is the best option at $500. I do miss the...

  12. Ordered a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, user review coming soon

    My opo served great for most of the 3 &1/2 years I've had it but it's time to move on. I was eyeing the 2017 bestsellers, got fed up with limitations and quirks of available flagships and decided to take a different option. Xiaomi does not sell directly to the US market, yet. Had to go through...
  13. Apple events are dead?

    I I'm giving up on common sense but still hoping competition prevents that from happening. I am convinced you can get a high end unit that fits your needs for half the price, the only issue is you have to look beyond the usual suspects. I bought a xiaomi phone that on paper (and on YouTube)...
  14. Apple events are dead?

    Not at all, this price point should not become normal unless we hit former USSR levels of inflation. Note 8 was the first offender and all of it's appeal was lost to me the moment the price was revealed. This goes beyond OS/OEM preference. If I can make a stand in a "nearly monopoly" GPU market...
  15. Apple events are dead?

    Matter of preference and tech limitations. If OEM's didn't chase thinness and consumers didn't want a selfie cam, bezel-less phones are doable today (no way around a slim frame though) For me, ideal bezel solution is 3 reduced bezels to a minimal frame around the display, minimal bottom bezel...
  16. Huawei Mate 10 / Kirin 970

    I'm interested in it as well. Had my opo for little over 3 years now, conclusions based on the experience with it: -high end SoC again, really helps resisting the upgrade urge down the road - easily rootable/unlocked bootloader, community support for ROM's - >85% screen to body ratio - >4000...
  17. Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus Thread

    I should have confirmation on full compatibility with T-Mobile's bands soon. I' haven't had a subsidized phone since the HD2, I don't mind paying the full price and had decent luck since, my phones lasted at least the length of a contract but the downside is that I'm extremely picky before I...
  18. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Ned had a hand in Jamie having the "a man without honor, a kingslayer" reputation. Another Stark (Bran) can restore it since he can "witness" real reason Jaime killed Aerys. Jaime meeting Bran could complete his redemption arc since he is going to Winterfell. Bran was pushed to his fall by...
  19. Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus Thread

    My opo is starting to show it's age, S8 active would have been perfect but I'm on T-MO. LG V30 looks good. Can't believe I'm actually considering the Mi mix 2...
  20. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    :D The lingering shot of Jaime sinking, blacking out to credits, that's how early seasons killed characters. I'm not saying Jaime has to be dead, I'm saying either kill him or cut the scene out. If you keep him alive, add a 10 sec scene that makes his escape more plausible. Minimal impact on...
  21. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    I'm not a pro writer, never even tried it yet I could come up with more organic (and cheaper) ways to achieve what the scenes for this episode were to do. I think it's a combo of bad pacing, lack of trust in the audience that created the need to keep them at the edge of the seat, even at the...
  22. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Pacing of this season is consequence of errors in the previous seasons. The main attraction of the show to me was the story that broke the rules of conventional TV. Seasons 3 & 4 were the highlights for me. The original premise that proof of the threat beyond the wall is needed should have been...
  23. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    To be fair, from his point of view all it would mean is that Jon Snow has a relative that married a Targaryen some time ago, he didn't have enough info to put it all together. Sam is on his to Winterfell, Sam Jr. has the book anyway, once they meet up with Bran they will put it all together. I...
  24. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Jaime lives? The weight of armor is pulling him down, falling in the same way Bran was after he pushed him. The episode 5 preview has Qyburn in the "bad news mode" with Cersei. Bron pulling him out in time, during a battle they were losing is very unlikely. Even if Daenerys wanted to save him...
  25. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Agreed. It's not the only flaw of the show, there are many. I do wonder if a show that does the books truly justice is even possible. It would have taken ~15 episodes per season and 9 seasons to do it right. While many characters made early exits, hanging onto the main cast for 9 years is very...
  26. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Around 2nd episode of the 4th season. When gifts are presented to Joffrey (Tyrion gifts a book, Mace Tyrell a cup and Tywin the Valyrian steel sword that Joffrey names "widow's wail") Cersei says to Tywin that Shae is Tyrion's whore. The scene where maid tells on Shae is in the episode when...
  27. Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    You will likely get your wish. Lannister army most certainly is hauling a few balista with them yet a dragon dying out of reach of night king is very unlikely so a misfire or ineffective shot that will only aggravate a dragon seems logical. Qyburn doesn't seem the type to leave Cersei's side...
  28. Got a good GPU? Think 1080p upscaling to 4K is a gimmick? MPC-HC+madVR will change your life!

    I just tried SVP again, the performance issue persists. To make matters worse, it requires all components to be 32 bit and it requires ffdshow, that filter introduces major dithering in all but highest bit rate files.
  29. Got a good GPU? Think 1080p upscaling to 4K is a gimmick? MPC-HC+madVR will change your life!

    Unfortunately, I never got it to work. It had the same impact on performance as pushing the upscaling settings too high, unwatchable even with the lowest SVP settings.
  30. Got a good GPU? Think 1080p upscaling to 4K is a gimmick? MPC-HC+madVR will change your life!

    I've been using VLC for a long time, last year I moved my PC into the living room and went with a 65" 4K TV. I didn't know that a media player utilized GPU to enhance video playback existed and when I first heard about it,I dismissed the benefits as placebo effect and gimmicks but installed it...
  31. What first world problem did you have today?

    UPS woes again... Eventually, they get it right
  32. Tom Clancy - The Division

    Ha, I just ranted in a thread about the same thing. I would still stay away from the DZ. I had all 204 gear when I got back in. I was messing around in the DZ with a few friends, they still have very low TTK to zero me out. I need few more pieces to have all choices from 3 two sets to 1 full...
  33. Losing motivation for multiplayer & online gaming

    It started getting worse recently, after my move into 4K/living room gaming. I bought a xbox 1 controller a few months ago and needed a replacement, ghost input and direction issues. I began researching the elite controller and expanded into other specialized, pricier gear. I ended up buying...
  34. [MMO] World of Tanks

    The drawing board stage type of problem cannot be fixed down the road. If you are failing to create a tank game that does not have to use arty as a balance crutch, you keep working until you can, don't cave. WOT's trends are transparent, upon introduction, a new vehicle is OP to temporarily...
  35. IP bans prevent a VPN user access to the forum

    Thank you gentlemen for clarifying. I've now had to resort to phone, some banking institutions and a few other places have become unusable from behind a VPN.
  36. Watch Dogs 2 is an actually good game

    I searched the forums but should have done a "titles only" search to find the other thread, it was lost in the results. It's an 8/10 for me so far. I haven't finished the game yet but I'm confident a sequel is setup in the final cut scenes. As for the Division, the game environments and...
  37. IP bans prevent a VPN user access to the forum

    This started about a month ago, the closest VPN location's IP is banned. Sometimes switching to a different one helps. It wasn't an issue before, surely this can be addressed.
  38. Watch Dogs 2 is an actually good game

    I picked up a cheap nvidia promo code about a week ago and it's been fun. Think AC: Black Flag if you happened to like it better than it's prequel and sequel . The game tries to be a jack of all 3rd person trades so by default it can't excel in any of the aspects but the overall experience is...
  39. Tom Clancy - The Division

    LOL Ubisoft. Haven't played the game for at least 6 months, google now showed me a card about the game being improved and patched, I start uplay and it's down:
