Yeah I just replaced my 22 year old water heater 6 months ago by myself. Luckily it exploded right after I took a shower and early on a Sunday. Lowes had ONE water heater in stock. $900 later, I’m good for another 20 years and will actually replace the anode rod and flush it every year.

The console has potential if we can fix the heat issues and the stupid SSD failing issue.

Reminds me of all the posts that say “but can it run crysis?”
Some games are just really difficult to emulate without original hardware.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 week ago:
All xbox series s and x consoles are made to die. Microsoft put the hardware key in a 1 gb partition on the SSD that is encrypted and in XFBS format nothing can read. All those consoles will be trash in less than 10 years. So until we get the full schematics and a microsoft ex employee to tell us how to get around the partition, they are all going to break and be unrepairable.

That’s crazy that twitch is now just as horrible as youtube, netflix, etc. Ad’s are absolutely destroying everything. I do my best to mute and avoid looking at all ads and it seems they are getting wise to that tactic as well. Horrible, horrible companies.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s the first 4k console that xbox produced and has a slim profile, looks good, has a great selection of games and backwards compatible games. I own 5 xbox 360’s, it’s my favorite xbox console, but not the LAST good console they made. It was their best console in my opinion. The original xbox had its own hard drive problems and the original controller that came with it is absolutely terrible, so they had to remake the S version that we actually could fit in our hands.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 weeks ago:
I explained the different xbox versions to my coworker and he almost had an aneurysm.
Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox 360 Slim, Xbox 360 Slim E, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X.
Dumbest names ever and 70% of the listings for these consoles, the owners don’t even know what they are selling. They call a series X a xbox One, and vise versa. Just too damn confusing for people.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 weeks ago:
I went to walmart to look for a new xbox controller for my xbox one x and they had maybe 12 games for the Xbox series X and NONE of them were anything i would ever want to purchase. Also the series X is a trash piece of equipment that has constant overheating issues, you cannot replace the hard drive if it dies, and it looks absolutely horrible design wise. They also had zero consoles in stock, while Best buy had about 12 open box Series X that people had returned for one reason or another at the outlet store.
So looks like even retailers are giving up on it.
The xbox one x was the last good console xbox made and even it has a ton of heat related issues with the HDMI circuit.
Xbox just cannot make a high quality gaming system, they just can’t. It’s been 2 decades and they still can’t get 90% of their consoles to last more than a year or 2.

- Comment on Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026? 3 weeks ago:
After doing tons of research on reparability, I realized Microsoft has ruined the right to repair on the Series S/X consoles with a 1GB partition in XBFS format that no OS can read and has a hardware encryption key in that partition.
All SSD’s fail, and all the Series S/X consoles use WD NVME SSD’s that WILL fail. You cannot just swap hard drives without cloning the original, but if the original isn’t readable, then your console is bricked permanently. The Xbox one consoles don’t have this partition and you can install a new HDD or SSD and just reinstall the OS1, OS2, or OS3 on it and it will work just like before.
This explains why i see at least 4 or 5 broken xbox series X for every 10 working ones i come across. This has removed the possibility of me ever purchasing a xbox series X until a modder or someone can figure out a way around this.

Ok, not good advice. You ignored the main questions I had. Also 4k players for PC’s are fucked and have tons of issues.
- Comment on Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026? 5 weeks ago:
I do have a Panasonic UB420, so i could do a comparison with a dedicated player. I did watch a video of the xbox one x vs the UB900 and honestly, it wasn’t much different. What problems did you notice?
- Comment on Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026? 5 weeks ago:
PC parts are so expensive, that’s why i’m looking at these consoles. I can get a series X for the price of 32gb of ram, so that’s the main reason i am thinking about getting a newer xbox. I wanted to try out some racing sims and forza seems to be the cheapest way for me to get into it as my current computers only have integrated graphics and it seems racing sims need a pretty pricey setup to run well.

The open corruption and lack of empathy for the working class is just embarrassing. I hate EVERY company now since they only care about shares. They don’t even consider us as human, we are simply just tools for them and can be thrown away at any moment.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 months ago:
This is great news for the video game community as even Sony and Microsoft admit consoles have nowhere else to go. They are already maxed out mini PC’s. So without huge graphics cards, you will see ZERO actual improvements on a 2028 console.
Save your money.

Uhhh, so they did their job? I had to make 30+ delivery orders a day, some of them with over 50 items. NO TIPS because it was my job to do that and make sure everything the customer paid for is in the bag.
- Comment on I always hit this button 5 months ago:
This new restaurant opened up behind my house and the food is amazing according to reviews.
First time we go in, we order at the front, PAY, then wait for our food.
I’ve never been here, why would i tip you BEFORE i get my food? I left no tip on the pinpad and gave them cash when we left. But the whole premise of tipping BEFORE a service is something rich people do to get better treatment at a country club or spa, not when we are buying food.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 5 months ago:
I personally don’t like soundbars so i go with an AV setup with 5.1 speakers for now. I got my AV recievers on nextdoor, craigslist, ebay, etc. I get them used because people constantly upgrade and i was able to get really nice Onkyo, Denon, and Pioneer AV receivers for under $80 each. Then i got REALLY lucky and found some Definitive Technology studio monitors at goodwill for $5 each and a center KLH platinum center speaker for $4. I found my other surround speakers in my attic from past friends and they are Sony or Bose. But best buy open box and outlet stores are your best bet for subwoofers and front speakers as they can be 30-40% off and still new with warranty. Monolith/Monoprice also makes some decent quality speakers and i love mine.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 5 months ago:
I spent months on Rtings looking up ratings, pricing, checking out tv sub’s and i came to the conclusion that you have 2 options.
-
spend $1500+ and get a Sony TV, the model doesn’t really matter as they are all better than their counterparts. I wanted MiniLED- but they were about $2,000.
-
Go the budget route and get a Hisense/TCL TV for $600-800 and use the other $1000 you saved for a home theatre system/ 4k player, etc.
I have a TCL 6 series Mini LED and love it. It has Dolby Vision, little glare, and it’s bright AF (not sure of the NIT rating). I also have a hisense U75 series mini LED and the picture quality is fantastic. The OS is buggy and it freezes, crashes every month or so. But both my TCL and Hisense have buggy OS’s and freeze randomly, just the cost of a cheaper TV.
I didn’t have my TCL hooked up to the internet for a couple years and used my computer for everything. Then i realized my computer cannot process 4k with HDR, so i connected them to the internet and set up Plex and they both look fantastic with 4k HDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision.
Their build in speakers are the worst i have ever heard, even the Hisense with it’s supposed 2.1 speaker setup, they both sound horrible and you WILL need a good AV home theatre setup, or at the very least, a good quality soundbar.

Yeah, this is not a normal thing to do and clearly another way to try and make anyone who isn’t MAGA, look like a criminal.
I’m sure they will find the majority of the hate speech is from right wing extremists, but then they will not post the research, or they will do their best to hide it from public view.
The administration has zero intention of being honest and helping society, so i really hope none of these CEO’s do anything to coddle the crybabies in office. Let them cry themselves to sleep.
