Ray-Ban Meta Warranty Claims?

Hey guys I'm stuck in a rut. I'm having issues with my Blayzer Gen 2s and I don't know who to reach out to. My wife and I bought 2 pairs of the Blayzers with prescription lenses and spent nearly $1800 on the glasses and extended warranties etc..

America's Best didn't tell me they supposedly don't warranty the frames. I found out when I called their customer support line, so they told me to contact Luxxotica. Well I call Luxxotica and their automated phone system sent me a text of how to submit a claim with a link. Well, going through the steps in it, it tells me I need to contact the retailer I got them from.

Well what is it?! 😩 I'm getting the run around and it's really starting to bother me.

1750MHz vs 2000MHz 40 CU performance?

Hey there guys I currently have my BC-250 with all 40 GPU CUs unlocked and the extra CPU cores unlocked.

I used the redbeard script on CachyOS to do the unlocking. Is there much of a performance increase going from 1750MHz to 2000MHz for the GPU overclock?

I tried the performance profile from the script and got quite a bit of artifacting going to 2000MHz. I then tried the 1850MHz profile and still got a little bit of artifacting. It seems 1750MHz is the highest profile I can go without artifacting. Am I missing out on much performance sticking to 1750MHz?

Galaxy watch 5 pro starting to die

Hey guys, my GW5 pro lately has been a headache. I worn the dang thing 24/7 other than showering and charging it, I definitely feel like I've gotten the use out of it.

The battery maybe lasts 12 hours and that's with AOD off, Wi-Fi off, NFC off. It's been very laggy the last few months, and I've noticed I haven't been getting any notifications the last week. I'm thinking it's time to upgrade.

My wife has a GW7 that she doesn't use, and I just set it up last night to my S25 ultra. She got it free when we pre ordered the S25 ultras. I instantly noticed how much more responsive it is! I also love the round look of the bezels, but part of me feels bad for taking it from her despite her hardly ever using it.

Should I just stick with her watch or should I trade in my GW5 pro for $100 while I can towards a GW9 or the GWU2? I get EPP discount on the new watches as well. So the GWU2 would be $524.69 and the GW9 Bluetooth would be $263.40 for me.

What do you guys think? LTE isn't really a need for me so I'm leaning more towards the GW9 for the price.

VRR flicker on CachyOS

Hey guys I'm trying to enable VRR but for some reason when I enable VRR in the steam menu on CachyOS it causes the screen to flicker black and go back on. Is there any command/fix for this?

It's finally done!

I finally got my BC250 how I wanted it. It has been kind of a pain getting the case together (It's printed with ASA) because of slight warping but it came together finally.

I installed Bazzite initially but I ended up switching to CachyOS and I'm glad I did.

Bazzite wasn't exactly slow by any means but with my limited time with it and Cachy, Cachy is snappier.

Not only that but being able to run an AIO script to be able to unlock overclocking for CPU/GPU, Unlock all 40 CUs, and to get rid of that annoying RDSEED message on boot was so easy. It even includes other tools for installing decky, emudeck, etc!

Help with wiring switch to 24 pin connector.

Hey guys I think I have my switch mostly wired right but for some reason it doesn't do anything when pushing in the button. The LED stays on the whole time as well.

I believe the white is actually the open pin wire in the diagram I am using.

Build update/Issues installing Bazzite

Hey guys just as I thought everything was fairly smooth sailing I'm having issues installing Bazzite from my USB drive 😞

Everything seems to look and working great but I can't seem to get Bazzite installed on my SSD. Any tips?

First boot successful!

Hey guys, I have all my things for my bc250! First boot works great! Anything I need to modify in BIOS?

Should I mod the heatsink and repaste everything now? Is it best to take the heatsink off to open it up and repaste at the same time? What tool(s) is best to open it up for a P12 pro?

New here have a few questions

Hey guys I just ordered a BC250 from AliExpress. I've read up on this mining board late last year and have decided I want to build a rig from it as a fun project and to have a little steam machine for the living room.

Once I get my board and Flex PSU, is it best to test the board out, then repaste/mod heatsink, then flash BIOS last?

I've decided to use my 3D printer to print out a case for it. Would PLA be sufficient or should I use PETG or ASA?

I've seen that the m.2 slot on the board is only Gen 2, so I'm thinking of just getting an m.2 to SATA adapter. There's a person locally on Facebook marketplace selling a Silicon Power A55 1tb SATA SSD for $70, that should be sufficient for the price right? I have no experience with Silicon Power as a brand.

I plan on doing a single Arctic P12 pro, and I am kicking around the idea of getting the argb version of it. How hard would it be to get an argb fan to work with the board? I'm guessing I would need a separate fan controller?

That's all the questions I can think of from the top of my head. I'm sure I'll probably have more in the near future. Thanks guys!

I'm tired of blink.

Hey guys I have a blink system with two outdoor 4s, the doorbell and the sync module 2 and I'm thinking of forking out the money for a eufy system! I've had Anker products (I've read that Anker owns Eufy) in the past and I currently use the Anker 737 and I absolutely love it as a power bank!

The blink system has been solid for about 18 months but lately I've been having issues with the front outdoor cam 4 doing Anything other than giving me push notifications on activity. I've double checked settings, swapped out batteries, and even formatted the thumbdrive on the sync module and reset and re-added all the cameras and module to no avail. Not to mention the video quality is horrid.

I've got a Costco membership so I'm thinking of getting the 2xS330 camera kit with the homebase S380 kit along with the S340 and the E340 doorbell kit for about $630.

I've checked the prices from Costco vs Eufys' site and Costco saves me about $110 on the same setup. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Should I just tough it out with the blink ecosystem? Thanks!

EDIT: I have 1Gb down and up Fiber Internet with a Nighthawk router so it's not my Internet. Also, I want to say the blink camera giving me issues is only about 15 ft away.

Starsand island consensus?

Hey guys I haven't kept up much on this game and was wondering if it's worth it to get it early access?

I've read somewhere that the steam reviews are bots and fake and there's no story. Is there any plans for the devs to add a story to the game?

Looking to get my wife a new cozy game to play for mother's Day.

I'm looking at the Arctis 7x Gen 2 and the A20X. I can get the A20X for $130. I have a Series X, Switch 2 and PS5 hooked up to my 75" OLED.

Hey guys I currently have the first Gen Arctis 7x (got it when it first released) and I think it's on its way out.

Whenever I use the volume wheel or the chat mix wheel it gets very staticy (like tuning an old radio) and sometimes cuts out one of the speakers if I don't have it dialed perfectly.

I'm looking into getting a new headset for under $200. I was thinking of possibly getting the Arctis Nova 7x Gen 2 or the Astro a20x

I have a PS5, Series X, PC, and switch 2. Everything is connected to my 75" OLED except my PC, which is downstairs. I already have a quadcast and a dedicated desktop Amp/DAC with some planar magnetic cans connected to it.

I'm in a dilemma on what I should get headset wise. Would the dongle for my current Arctis 7x work with the Gen 2s if I went that route? I found out that I have special employee discount to get up to 30% off on Logitech products so I could get the a20x for $130 which seems like a good deal.

What do you guys think?
