    Pretty much every manufacturer still playing catch up with Samsung. Wireless charging has been around since the Galaxy S4 in 2013. Still not in an iPhone. Apple still trying to get OLED screens in the iPhone 8... Samsung? OLED has been standard since 2010. Still baffles me why people pay so...

    Bidets, and why you should buy them

    You just sit down and blast away on your asshole. The standalone bidets are really only found in homes. You're not sharing those things with strangers. It's 10x more cleanly than using a piece of paper to smear shit across the skin of your taint / asscrack.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Yea, not sure where you got the number 15 from. This dude is likely sedentary. He would fall right around 4300 calories per day to maintain the 600 lbs. To further gain that extra weight, it is typically accepted that ~3500 calories surplus = 1 lb gain. So the guy would need to be eating roughly...

    Just doing the math on that, that's a surplus of ~4600 calories per day, EVERY day for 4 months to gain that much. I like the occasional binge like the rest of you, but I tend to feel pretty fucked up and "hungover" the next day. The idea of doing that shit for 120 days straight? Fucking kill me...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    BCS plugin is all client side. The broadcast server is a 127 loopback address on your own PC. MQ2 knows to look for MQ specific commands being sent, and before sending those to the game server, it's stripped out and used by MQ to process commands. If you sent /bca whatever in EQ chat it would...

    Yea, I should have mentioned timelines. I work overseas (have for over a decade now) and this is essentially my pot of house / car money whenever I go back stateside. That could very well be in the next 2 - 3 years. I have quite a lot more in 401k for retirement and that shit will just ride...

    Err what? I enjoy a regular whopper with cheese from time to time, but BK fries are universally hated by just about everyone in this thread. They are bottom tier anywhere. Wendy's fries are miles better. I do feel bad for you pals near shitty Wendy's locations. Still love a couple JBCs!

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    As mentioned, you can pet pull. It is too far away from Isle 1. You need to run off the island. You'd normally zone to Freeport, but on this server you just land on the bottom of the zone. Run over directly under EoV, target EoV (need MQ to do this), and send your pet. It is still quite a long Z...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I had some rose colored glasses on for years of nostalgia thinking PoP was amazing during live. However, I must say, after playing Nagafen's Lair Emu for so long (PoP locked) I have to agree with Sterling. Once you enter PoTime, the entire rest of the game is pointless. Nothing else is of any...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Wiz is fun, but they run oom too much in PoP. You'd literally have to gate out of zone to get fast med up and zone back (often multiple times). I'd dump the wiz for a Monk or Rogue. Rogue can also clear trash fast as hell due to assassinate dark blue con or lower at max AA. Deruvian is right...

    I have used Synology for ~8 years now. They are pricey, but they offer a hell of a lot. They are the higher-end of NAS builds. Qnap is perfectly reasonable.

    Just go into your spell file and delete everything after line 45,000. (There should literally be just 1 more line in there #45,001 which you must delete.) Particles and spell sound fx will come back after you do that.

    You know a 1080 for viewing 4k TV is massive overkill, right? There are Intel NUC solutions for 4k these days.

    Desktop Computers

    1080Ti is great for 4K gaming finally. But, as I just game on 1440p, I will stick with my 980Ti and skip this generation. My gaming is pretty limited these days to EQ Emus, CIV6, and some FO4. Nothing very demanding at my resolution.

    I grew up in FL and watched a couple shuttle launches in person at Cape Canaveral. Despite being 2-5 miles away (depending on launch pad), the sound was unbelievable and the FEEL of it from head to toe and the ground was simply indescribable. Something you had to experience in person to truly...

    Yes, but Samsung chargers only increase to 9V. That Chinese charger he bought rates up to 12V output. He is complaining about premature battery degradation. I am guessing that is the primary culprit. A crappy 3rd party Chinese charger doing god knows what during the charge cycle.

    That charger you linked reads an output of up to 12V. That's probably your first problem.

    This has been my theory for people who have battery issues. These new Samsung phones have adaptive fast charging and vary both the charge voltage AND amperage through the charge cycle. I would not be surprised if some shit Chinese adaptive chargers are simply prematurely wearing batteries by not...

    I literally linked you the .gov announcement about the Note. There is not one mention about a Galaxy S7 ban, nor could my google-fu find one mention of it. Not saying those signs are not real wherever you are, but there is no FAA / DoT ban on them.
