I'm replacing the hdmi ports on an Xbox one x right now, some goof thought a good solution to replacing a damaged hdmi out would be to remove the hdmi in, and solder it to the hdmi out channel

now both ports have to be replaced, since he not only damaged the in port when either removing or installing it, but also because he was stupid enough to try

the hdmi in is only a 1.4 port, and the out is 2.1
they were never compatible in the first place

ok even if they were compatible that's still a terrible way to try to fix an issue with a damaged port lol
take the soldering iron from them

tbh the port just costs ten bucks, I can't imagine why he would waste his energy desoldering the other one when he could just take one off

i liked bloom

I also liked bloom. A mechanic that forces you to time your shots made swat much more interesting, and I still prefer Reach swat over H3 swat.

There are people on this forum that think New Vegas is better than Fallout 4

It is.

Fallout 4 has much better combat but New Vegas is a much better Fallout game.

Why qualify it? New Vegas is objectively better, just not in every way. Honestly, they're both piss poor "Fallout games", but New Vegas is a fun game with compelling characters and lots to do, where Fallout 4 is a small grey empty world with a small handful of interesting plot points or interesting people.

When New Vegas came out, some people complained that it should have been a DLC, not its own game. Really though, Fallout 4 feels more like a DLC than anything Bethesda has made since Dawnguard.

For eternity thus far, some okay music has been made, but this comprehensive list is, beyond my opinion, sheer and indisputable fact. This list, generate through scientific testing, showcases the objectively greatest 1 Albums made during the last ever, and provides the data by which these assertions grace fact.

1. Testify by Phil Collins

---

This album not only changed my life, but also the world, and by proxy your life too. Phil Collins poured all of his vast mastery into capturing the human condition and connecting with every living human being simultaneously to produce this album. It is beyond doubt that musically, it is the finest piece of art to be produced by humans, that is, barring the much more likely event that it was handed down to Phil by God himself. Lyrically... the term poetry doesn't come close to describing the beauty encased in his words. A select few albums have been blessed in either of these ways, but Testify blends them together seamlessly and with truly divine beauty.

There's not much more to be said in plain words, but you MUST immediately listen to this album, regardless of whether you've heard it before or not, lest you face indefinite incarceration on earth and eternal hellfire beyond.

Phil bless you.

I've been using this phone, on sale for $110 at best buy for a week now, and it sports some flagship design, with some drawbacks, at entry level prices.

With only a Snapdragon 445 and 2GB of ram, as well as having SD card adoption disabled to expand the internal storage beyond the stock 32GB, this phone is very similar to other entry level devices in terms of raw performance. However, there's more to a user experience than the geekbench score.

The included stylus launches a small bubble with some quick options, like the Galaxy Note, and works remarkably well. The mesh tip actually feels more premium than the rubber tipped s pen in pure use feel, but obviously lacks many of the s pen's features.

The ability to draw a cutout from the screen for a screenshot never gets boring, even if my unskilled hand makes ugly, jagged cuts. For drawing, I miss the S Pen's reticle displayed when hovering, but the accuracy is better, especially after you've slightly bent the S Pen's rubber tip.

Small bezels are nice, and the phone sports a fairly premium 79.9% screen to body ratio. The chin at the bottom of the phone is the same size as the forehead at the top, and I applaud LG's decision to forgo a notch to try and increase that screen to body ratio just a little higher. It's not winning any awards, but the 18:1 aspect ratio, with a 1080x2160 resolution on a 6.2" display (with rounded d corners), pushes even lower end smartphones toward the future of a more affordable premium feel.

I instantly missed the Super AMOLED display of my Samsung phone, and the colors will just never feel right without it. It's the sort of thing you can never come back from.

The Stylo 4 is a big winner in productivity. It handles more intensive chat apps like snapchat with no problems, and running Android 8.1 Oreo, it has no shortage of support for newer applications like Riot.im. I don't know how they stretch the small RAM so far, but I never feel like I'm losing performance.

App launch time isn't premium feeling, but it's far and afield beyond yesterday's budget, or even mid level options, so while launch is instantaneous, the brief hesitation to populate constant, while not necessarily welcome, isn't a major drawback.

The cameras sport fairly premium resolutions (5MP front & 13MP back), but they're frankly shit in post. After a few shots I already thought it may be a good idea to consider carrying a lower res, lower price, Samsung as just a camera to get all of life's little moments recorded. It's a damn shame, and makes me wonder if LG's claims of the great camera performance on the V40, might not be worth the five sensors, purely because their post processing, theoretically the same across their entire line, is so severely lacking.

Next, we come to battery life. This is where everything comes to a head. The 3000mah battery would have been great at one point, but it just doesn't cut it anymore. The fast charging is a nice feature, but as no fast charger is included it's kind of a letdown. The phone doesn't support Qi charging, so don't expect to get away with a cheap online charging pad. I have to wonder why Qi wasn't thrown in, as the design completely allows for it, which I'll touch on in a moment. Perhaps budget was a constraint, on this budget model. This kinda undermines the productivity claims I made earlier, as you might be productive with this device, you just won't be for long.

From a design perspective, mostly premium materials were used. There's adecent  hardened glass on the front of the screen, though LG didn't spring for Corning Gorilla Glass, not even an older formula, and the back of the phone is an imitative glass acrylic, which feels cheesy at first, but after some use, isn't as bad as many acrylics, and actually offers better grip than glass would. It looks like glass, and is definitely a fingerprint magnet, but it doesn't send a "cheap phone" message when viewing or touching it, after you've imparted some of the oils from your hand to make it less tacky to the touch. The fingerprint sensor is not fast, but it is pretty accurate, and it is definitely still much faster than swipe to unlock. The buttons, (volume and power, no quick access key) are made of metal, as is the entire outer frame of the phone, which offers decent drop protection and makes the phone feel more premium in general. Oh, and it has a headphone jack, in addition to the Type C port which is usually so absent on entry level phones.

If anyone out there can't be bothered to spring a few hundred for Nokia's latest offerings, which I consider the best of mid-range phones, or incrementally more for the Oneplus 6T or another Flagship at twice the price, I would definitely recommend this unit over my 2017 entry level pick of the year's successor (the Samsung J7 2017 held this title, and the J7 2018 is just a refresh of the same hardware). The Stylo 4 feels newer and more premium than even some flagship hardware from a couple of years ago, which do offer better performance, but this unit has all of the good design elements that arose in 2018, and seems to have left behind all of the bad ones.

did you know that, in harry potter, there is an in-universe rumor that draco malfoy's wife was impregnated by voldemort after they got married? (who proceeded to give birth to the antagonist of harry potter and the cursed child)

do you know what that makes him?

dracuck malsoy

literally how would that even work

time turner

All time turners were destroyed during the battle for the department of mysteries, and there is never shown any evidence of a time turner having the ability to press its user forward in time.

In fact, the only known instance of time magic being employed to take a subject from the past and bring them into the present, the closest thing to forward time travel seen in universe, resulted in the subject aging the full amount of time that they were moved along the time line, in this case 497 years.

Beyond those two observations, should Malfoy's wife somehow have acquired a time turner and gone back to when Voldemort was alive, there would certainly have been grave consequences. It's more likely than not that the mother would never survive her trip back to the present, that is, assuming someone in the present knew she had gone and was trying to retrieve her, and it's also possible she would not have survived her trip into the past, as moving through time in leaps larger than a few hours is extremely hazardous and unpredictable for other, more vague and magical reasons.

or in other words

literally how would that even work

Theyre very clearly rising up here

but are they back on the street

huh maybe I'm just literally retarded

I think this is the first time I've seen a bot post on the forums. Usually they just make accounts and that's it.

Posts of new members need moderator approval, mods just usually don't approve bot's messages

are we just gonna ignore the big hairy scrotum that someone posted on the last page

I was hoping we'd try.
