Thinking about swapping

So I currently have windstream which is the only option where I live (somewhat middle of nowhere). It is terrible. pictures of WiFi tests with my current WiFi.

I’m thinking about trying the cheapest starlink option with it says 100mbps download speeds. It is starlink v5 with a router mini. I play Xbox/ps5 quite a bit and I’ve read mixed reviews so wanted to see what people think. Thank you In advance

It is actually cheaper at 55$ a month where as right now we’re paying 107$ for windstream. Which just keeps going up.

I also need it to cover a pretty decent area as my current WiFi reaches out to my garage and would like to keep it that way. But I’m not opposed to getting an extender

3 week old poops in bath

Our 3 week old boy has pooped in EVERY bath we’ve gave him multiple times.

We have 2 baths for him and every single time we’ve given him a bath, within a minute or two he has pooped, we wipe him and wait till we think he’s done and put him in another bath and within a minute or two he poops again.

We’ve tried different times of the afternoon, tried getting him to go before with doing the bicycle legs.

Please someone give me great advice lol.

328i keeps locking itself

So like 6 or 7 times the car has locked itself. Almost everytime the key was in the ignition. Twice now while I was driving.

I’ve figured out it only seems to do it on or after rainy days. Seems like after it dries out for a few days it quits doing it. It POURED one day. When I walked out to the car and it had locked itself. Unlocked it and as I was sitting there a few minutes it locked itself again. Then after about 30 seconds it rapid fire locked about 5 times while I had the door open.

I read a thread about someone saying it was the driver door actuator/latch thinking it was being manually locked from the keyhole. But after it rapid fire locked a few times I’m not sure it can be the door lock/actuator. Because after I lock it with it once it will not attempt to lock all the other doors again until I unlock it. But I also just read that turning it part way and fully does 2 different thing so I will have to try that tomorrow

Also potentially related the car sometimes does not lock/unlock with the key. But after putting the key in the ignition and cycling it, it always works normally. The fob will also not roll down the windows, however unlocking it with the keyhole and holding it will.

I had Scott from e46fanatics replace the relays in my gm5 about 6 months ago. Its worked great since then until now.

It was doing it before I had the car in the garage for a month or two doing some work to it. Then I’ve been driving it again for the last month or so with no issues at all. We haven’t had rain since before I started driving it again. Well it rained the other night. Get in it and start driving and it locks itself. I did notice it locked itself to where the door handles would not unlock it and I had to use the button on the console. I’m considering going ahead and replacing the drivers door latch assembly unless anyone else has any ideas. Just so hard to diagnose an extremely intermittent problem.

Fable coming to ps5 is a mistake.

Anyone else think it’s a terrible idea? Sure they’ll
Make more money off of it. But imo a large reason that Xbox is so far behind in sales is the lack of exclusives.

Generally every person you see recommending PlayStation is because of exclusives. If every Xbox game is on ps5, but a large number of ps5 games aren’t on Xbox. It genuinely makes more sense to get the console with more games, even if Xbox is the better console.

I mean even myself who swapped from ps2 to Xbox 360 and had every Xbox since then, and never looked back, recently bought a used ps5 so I could play the exclusives. I just don’t understand how the Xbox execs don’t see this unless they are only looking at the short term sales profits.

EDIT: I would prefer a world where exclusives didn’t exist. But Sony and Nintendo use them as huge selling points. So Xbox needs to as well.

Bought a used ps5, ds issues

The controller is red and looks brand new, has no signs of wear. has no stick drift or any other issues.

I have to charge it after every single time I play. But sometimes the battery will last a 3-4 hours of playing with no issues. Sometimes it lasts 2 minutes before dying. Today I even checked right after I turned it on and it showed 3 bars. Played 2-3 minutes and it died. Will turn back on a play another few minutes before dying again. Plugged it in and it showed 2 bars with 3rd one blinking. But then tomorrow it might last all night

Anyone have any ideas that don’t involve throwing away a perfectly good controller?

Really wish it didn’t have a built in battery. My cheap dock and rechargeable battery for my Xbox controller lasts me like a week on a charge and if dies I can just swap it. and if I have any issues I can just buy another battery. Wish the ds was the same.

Cross platform game license?

I had a thought earlier. If all we’re going to be able to do in the future is buy digital game licenses, how nice would it be if they could be used on both ps5 and xbox. I mean it’s not like it has to have a compatible disk. If you have the license for a game, in theory you should be able to use that license on whatever console you want right?

I’m sure it’ll never happen as the whole purpose of the digital only thing is to bring them higher profits. And they would lose out on sales this way. But it makes sense right? There’s no compatibility issues with a digital license. Assuming the game itself is compatible with both consoles.

I think a proper compromise so the big 3 don’t lose there store revenue is a discounted game. Instead of having to pay full price the second time you just pay Sony for example their 30% and now you can use the license you already bough on their console.

96 challenger 1100 swap

Has anyone done the 1100 swap on one of these? I’ve been reading about people doing it on the xp. Stand to reason that since these use the same pump and same engine as a 96 Xp it would be the same process. But maybe I’m wrong.

Any advice or comments would be welcome.
