Woah, those are pricey but exactly what I'm looking for! I might have to bite the bullet and pick them up. Thanks!

The glossy dpad and ABXY buttons are too slick IMO. Does anyone know of good matte textured buttons? Preferably in just plain black but I'm not picky.

I did see the new extreme rate oled buttons but I haven't found anything describing their texture. Plus I'm not sold on clear buttons

Architect! That sounds more like what I'm wanting. I'll search around for one, thanks!

 

My wife and I are quite shit at design but are pretty handy. We recently bought a house, and we want to make the backyard a great hang out spot, but have no idea how to make it look good. I contacted a local landscaper about just paying for a design/plan and we would just DIY it but they never called us back. Is this an okay thing to hire for? Or do landscapers usually want to do the work themselves?

Apparently there's only 10 or so Vaquita's left now. :( https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/vaquita

Nah, its just a cheap "marble" laminate countertop I use for a desk. Can't convince myself to get a nice wood one when this holds up and looks decent

 

My coiled cable likes to rotate which makes the coil messy. This little 3d print I made keeps it nice and tidy. Hope it helps anyone with similar issues. You can find the files here: https://www.printables.com/model/433584-coiled-cable-lockaligner

I'm the same, those dongles don't last, and are annoying to use. I picked up one of these cables from aliexpress to use with my iems and it works a treat. There's better quality cables out there, but for 10 bucks these are solid.

It's not a "worse" display. It's a different display. The only point is that if you want an e-ink phone (either for readability or battery life) this is one of the only options. Assuming it actually launches at least.

I was thinking about an apple TV, but I'm not in the apple ecosystem so I'm not sure how well it would work for me. Shame, it does look like a great device

Good idea. I checked and it's not transcoding, just direct play for audio/video so it's not codecs. I'm still leaning towards bit rate being too high for the fire stick processor for now

No transcoding, it's doing direct play for video and audio. The roku eventually gives up and plex gives a "your network is not good enough" error unfortunately

 

Looking for recommendations on a streaming box to connect my TV to plex. I have a lot of 4k blu ray rips averaging 80-100mbps and I'm struggling to find a client that can handle it. First I had a Roku, which had network bandwidth issues. So I moved to the new fire stick 4k max, which still buffers like crazy. I don't think its network related because its pulling 500mbps down, and my laptop (which pulls 300 down) can stream it just fine. So any recommendations on a tv streaming box? I've seen the Nvidia shield, and the Mecool KM2 plus deluxe but want to get some opinions before buying anything. Thanks!
