Another tremendous effort from Royal Fail, who informed me they have the parcel (time to worry) and would I like it delivered somewhere else. Yes, please leave at number XXX to our left.
Fine replies Royal Fail it'll be there Saturday and then delivers it to to opposite neighbour on Friday :confused:

Order from the Nederland's and is picked up by UPS, who are going to win the worst website & app award this year with ease.

PC. I bought the non heatsink version when they launched and had to return it because Samsung messed up the issues the model was having with health degrading each week. Now that the issues are sorted, I figured I'd get back onto the wagon as the heatsink version was going for £140 which I could not say no to.

Ha ha ! The one I moved yesterday ain't in a good way, hence the replacement. May double it up - it has a fair length to span ....

Just ordered 20m with steel core as the last one was similar from 2019.

I think I can blame COVID for this failure :cry:

I'm hoping with global warming and COVID not in the garden anymore that this new one will last 5 years :cry:

Same as usual for my setup, all fans on low rpm at all times. 55-60 normal running.

Steady now

Had a funny moment when the ladder wanted to go around the 6m pole, while I'm at the top threading the new line through

'Cloth rope'? That appears to be neither of those things (which is a good thing)

Traded in my old one for new. Just shy of 2000nm breakaway torque :cool:

Finger keeps hovering over buy button but not clicked yet!
Bought the 128Gb 2 only 4 months ago but think the improvements are worth it and would make me use it more as well. Like the idea I can get prescription lenses for this.
What storage size did you go with?
Sounds like 512gb is very difficult to get currently for some reason but thunk this might be the better option if future releases are bigger?
More into the VR productivity apps than games though.

ShiWarrior · 11 Oct 2023 at 21:27

i bought the 128Gb model because i use it for PCVR mainly

you can get prescription lens inserts for the Quest 2 as well. for example, check out the vr wave and framesdirect websites
