I bought a Viofo A129 in 2019 and it's been working amazingly well, but part of me wants to upgrade to a 4k model. One of the features I'm interested in is the faster Wifi transfer speeds to download videos when you're out on the road.

One time I witnessed a car reverse into the car in front of me, and I stayed by to show the video to the police to prove the person wasn't at fault. It took like 15-20 minutes or so to download, I just sat there in the parking lot waiting for it to finish.

One of my concerns is if something like the above ever happens again, I might have to spend another 20 minutes waiting for the video to download. The newer models like the A329S claim to download a 1 minute 4k video in 10 seconds, is this true? Being able to download a 4k video in a minute or less would be worth the upgrade, in addition to the obvious sensor improvements.

To those with newer models, how long does it take to download a video to your phone using the Viofo's wifi?

I was looking in my camera settings and checking my video and photo resolutions to make sure I'm taking full advantage of my 18 Pro's cameras. I discovered that 24MP was the default, so I looked up how to change it to 48MP, and discovered threads saying there are downsides to using 48MP for all of your pictures, besides file size.

What differences are there between 24 and 48MP when it comes to taking everyday photos? I'm no hobbyist photographer, I just take pictures of anything and everything I feel is interesting, whether it be a stray cat or things I need to remember for later. If I have the storage space, shouldn't I just use the best quality to preserve my memories in as high detail as possible?

What are your default video resolution and photo settings?

I just cleansed the second Angel Comb, but no new blackboxes or story hints are coming from NoA. Google isn't much help, the AI points to a single Reddit post who says to build a second base and scan for stuff near the alien structures. Is this what I'm supposed to be doing? Is there a third Angel Comb? Roughly speaking, how much more is there before I finish what's available in Early Access?

Edit: I beat the game. I figured out where to go with help from Google and randomly stumbling upon the control center. The game doesn't tell you where to go, this is the random exploration part of the game where you have to piece things together from the lore and explore on your own

I currently have DT 1990 Pros and am looking for an upgrade, ideally an endgame headphone. Even if I could afford something better (which I could), I just don't see headphones as something worth spending large amounts like $1k or more on. I've decided on $800 as my budget, and I'm hoping this much can get me headphones to last a decade with no desire to upgrade during that time. I like my DT 1990s, but I just want something better with more detail. I listen to music a LOT, so I will be getting good use out of whatever I buy

As far as my music taste goes, I listen mainly to 80s-2000s hits, nothing too deep in any one genre. My favorite music acts are Pink Floyd, Taylor Swift, and Genesis.

What do I want in a headphone? It's hard to say in technical terms because I honestly don't understand much of it all, but one thing I will say is I wish to get as close as I can to replicating the experience of listening to music on drugs. I used to take prescription ketamine, and while listening to music, everything pops out. The detail is impeccable, and you can hear the nuance in every instrument. The music hits you harder and you can hear everything better. While I realize nothing can replace drugs, I'm hoping better headphones can improve my listening experience to the point where it gets me closer to that feeling. Being able to discern the detail in the songs is my biggest desire

I like good bass, and one of the reasons I'm leaning towards the Arya Organic is because I've heard them described as V-shaped, and I think I might like that. If the treble is too much, I know I can use EQ to tone it down. I don't have any complaints about the treble on my 1990s, which are known for their treble. Only on a couple songs at loud volumes has it been a problem, but I've learned about EQ in the past month and I haven't had any issues since then.

My current set up includes a Fiio K7 and lossless Apple Music on Windows 11 with Peace as my EQ. I use Oratory1990's settings

I'm not afraid to use Amazon's return policy, so if you think there are 2 headphones I should order, I'll consider buying 2 and returning the one I don't want

My previous pair of headphones was Sennheiser HD 599SEs, which I loved because they sounded good and were only $99. I was looking for an upgrade since I had more money and love music, so I went with DT 1990 Pros. I've had them for a year or so now and use them with a Fiio K7, but I'm still not sure I'm getting the best audio experience.

It feels like I'm only getting a marginally better experience than my Sennheisers, and I'm left wondering if this is the audiophile experience, or if it's just my sound preference that would favor something else.

What would you recommend if I wanted to sell these and buy new headphones?

I built my PC during COVID shortages when the Newegg Shuffle gave me the opportunity to get a 3070 for $715. I paired it with a 5800x since the 5800x3d wasn't released yet. I bought a 144hz 1440p monitor, but I find for many games I can't push triple digits and am forced to play at lower settings at 60-90fps.

Right now I just started Clair Obscur and it's at around 60fps on high settings. Many games can't run at triple digits and I'm forced to turn settings down

I've been considering upgrading, but ideally my next upgrade would be a big upgrade to the next big thing, being 4k. I've built a hypothetical 2026 build that includes a 4k monitor, and it comes out to $4.5k, which is more than I feel like spending right now. I could do it, but I honestly would rather wait for a better time when I have a new, larger apartment and prices go down.

In the meantime, what would you do in my position, if you were to hold off on upgrading to 4k and keep your current system?

I don't have a set budget because I can afford whatever I feel like, it just depends on what's a good value and will last me ~2 years satisfactorily. I've been looking into possibly a 9070xt, which would put my budget at around $750. Would this be a worthwhile upgrade?

I'm currently on 10mg, I've started month 4 of compounded Tirzepatide. I've lost about 15 pounds so far with 60 to go, but I feel like most of that is due to a new Adderall prescription that caused me to have 0 appetite for an entire week. My body has already adjusted some to the Adderall, so I can't rely on it for weight loss forever.

My appetite is suppressed, but I find that I've plateaued some and I'm not losing weight like I expected. When I was in month 2 I lost weight, but that didn't last so I increased the dosage as normal.

I'm not sure where I'll be 6 months from now, but I don't think tirzepatide is helping as much as I would like it to. My current fear is that I've stopped losing weight, and even going up in dosage won't help. I'll increase it until I reach the maximum, and I'll feel the same way I do right now, with a lot of appetite and not losing weight.

What do you do, just increase dosage and hope it helps? And if it doesn't, should I continue at maximum dose for the rest of my life and try to lose the rest using old-fashioned dieting and going hungry?

I am currently prescribed 200mg of Testosterone Cypionate to take intramuscularly once a week. I choose to inject 100mg of it twice of a week subcutaneously. I took a dose of 100mg on Monday, and got my blood tested on Wednesday morning. My levels were at 1133, which is high. My doctor prescribed that I should take it once every 14 days. I think the better option is to reduce the dosage so I don't have periods of high T and an entire week of low T

What would you do in my situation? I'm thinking of taking 75mg twice a week so I'm down to 150mg a week.

I've been taking my car to Walmart or Jiffy Lube for oil changes, last time I went to Jiffy Lube because I liked the convenience of staying in my car. Recently I've decided to do some DIY car maintenance, and changing my own oil seemed like the logical next step.

Here is what I purchased:

Item	Price
Mobil 1 5W-20 advanced full synthetic	$25
Motorcraft FL910S oil filter	$9
Hyper Tough oil filter wrench	$7
Hyper Tough oil drain pan	$3
2 piece funnel set	$1.50
13mm socket	$6

Here is what I already had:

• 3/8 inch torque wrench
• Adjustable wrench
• Nylon gloves and paper towels

Note that I didn't buy car ramps or jack stands, I used a curb to raise the right side of my car, which was enough space for me to get underneath and do the job. All in all I used maybe $65 worth of equipment, some of which is reusable.

Not only did I save money, but I have better oil and a better filter than what any shop uses. I'll be doing this in the future from now on, it was easier than expected

I signed up with Pomegranate just today, hoping to get a 6 month supply from BPI.

For the labs, I sent in 2 labs, my labwork from 2024 showing I am high cholesterol/high triglycerides, and more recent labwork showing I am within normal levels. I am at normal levels due to being prescribed rosuvastatin and prescription fish oil. Does my labwork need to show I am currently at this moment in time showing abnormal results, or will they accept what I submitted?

For my proof of current prescription, I just uploaded a picture of my bottle which has my prescription info on it and pharmacy/prescriber info. Is this sufficient?

What did you submit for proof of prescription and labs? Did you have any trouble if you submitted what I did?
