    Looks like the Switch Lite has now been included in the class action lawsuit regarding the analogue stick drift issue.

     

    https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch/2019/9/28/20888540/nintendo-switch-joy-con-drift-lawsuit-switch-lite-repairs

    don't know why nintendo couldn't figure this out with a new design years after the switch release. for now it seems like I'll be replacing sticks every 6-9 months for the life of the switch. the lites sticks don't look easily replaceable like the joycons too.

  2. I set up an account for me on both of my boys switches so that I can log in and buy stuff for them. Wanted their accounts to be offline for the time being as they are younger...Anyways, whenever I log in with my account and buy games the switch does a check to see if they can play it and then it prompts their accounts to log in and purchase the game. I've read online that this shouldn't be the case that they should be able to play whatever games are on the switch. Any ideas on how to fix this?

     

    Also, can I buy a game once and then download it on to both switches? I bought two copies of games so far as I couldn't figure this part out.

    You’re giving up a ridiculous amount of free performance by not OCing. You really don’t need to do tons of stress tests and all of that old school nonsense unless you’re trying for some type of world record. With a 4790, just set it to 4.4-4.5ghz and be done with it.

     

    Here’s the issue with upgrading: AMD is literally about to drop new chips in the next few weeks (like 2-4 iirc). They look to be as fast or faster than what Intel has at its top end are half or less than half the price.

    I've just always been an intel guy, do you think that intel prices might go down after amd does their thing?

  4. Would you recommend LGA 2066 now or is it not much of a performance difference from LGA 1151(300) products? I'm past the interest of overclocking anymore but want to headroom if it's needed.

     

    Right now after looking at 2066 stuff I have the following

     

    (around 1200)

    ASUS Prime X299-A

    i7-9800X with Corsair H115i Platinum watercooler

    Corsair 32 (4x8) DDR4-3200

     

    1151/300

    (Around 700)

    Asus Prime Z370-A

    i7-9700KF with my current Corsair H110 Extreme

    Corsair 32 (4x8) DDR4-3200

     

     

    Might still RMA this board so I can throw it in my office PC

  5. My Asus Z97-Pro died and won't boot anymore thanks to normally ocurring power/brown outs. Can only seem to find used of the same model and if I don't I'll have to toss a perfectly good i7 4790k in the trash.

     

    Thinking about just sending $35 and the board in the mail to them to troubleshoot for an RMA.

  6. So I've had my first copy of this monitor for almost a year now and have loved it ever setting it up. I decided to get a second and throw them on a two arm stand but the second monitor is having a halo effect to text. It's most noticeable with white text on black background but you can see it in black on white too. It's like I need to run the windows font tool where you select the best looking square but when I use this it doesn't change the halo appearance. Never had to return a monitor so I was hoping that there are some troubleshooting options? Unplugged, restarted, reinstalled display drivers, played with advanced appearance settings.

     

    Good

    I just got back from vacation, I'll probably post a few pics in this thread once I do a little post processing. It's almost cheating, but some of my favorite photos were from my safari in Africa a few years back. I bought a 150-600mm for Africa and I've been starting to get into birding to put it to more use.

     

    I primarily shoot Nikon. I have a D7100 and a D7000 and a small collection of lenses. I also have a Fuji XT-10 and a Sony RX100 MK1. I'm really interested in the upcoming Nikon FF mirrorless. I've been wanting to upgrade my body for a long time but the D850 is a bit pricey and the D750 is a bit long in the tooth. I was looking very hard at the Sony lineup, but replacing the lenses would be really expensive. If the new Nikon can hit the right marks, I'll probably sell off the Fuji. If it doesn't, I'll either wait for a D750 repalcement this year or just start saving up for a D850. I've been wanting to go FF for a long time, but it can be hard to justify the cost when my existing cameras take pretty nice shots. 

     

    I do really love the little Sony. I got it years ago refurbished and on sale, and it's a beast of a pocket camera. The 20MP 1" sensor is really excellent, and when I don't want to carry something big it's a wonderful little camera to keep in your pocket. I also found an underwater housing for it and it's been my primary dive camera for a while now. I don't have a full strobe setup or anything, but it's rather impressive what you can get out of it. Shoot at f 1.8 in RAW and you can really recover some amazing color without a strobe (in shallow water and decent light at least.) When the housing for a DSLR goes for as much as the body did when it was new (and they basically never go on sale), the sub $500 price for the Sony and the housing is a steal.

    I've been keeping my eye on the mirrorless news, I'm waiting on buying a D850 until the middle of next week when they release the full specs for it.

     

    Not sure why my images stopped working.

     

    Some photos from my Mediterranean/Indian ocean travels, didn't have my Nikon kit with me sadly...

  8. Lets see what everyone is working with nowadays. I finally got into the super-telephoto range today. Going to try to get out this weekend in the morning to see if I can get any good photos with it. Ignore the iphone photo, hoping to get a D850 some time in the next 6 months.

     

    Here's what other people have gotten with the 200-500 if anyones interested in getting a very capable affordable lens.
