2024.05.19 17:28 greentomater Refrigerators: choosing one and could LG be incentivizing vendors to sell counter depth max?

Hi:
My 20+ year old GE Profile, counter-depth side-by-side fridge is near EOL. I can't find mainboard parts anymore as a backup, and the exterior wateice smells awful even after a full disinfection and teardown in 2022, so I am preemptively looking to replace it. Now in paralysis by analysis.
I've read as many threads here, watched the recommended videos, scoured reviews on box-store websites, and gone to 5 local appliance vendors here on the west coast of the US.
All fridges today seem to suck, ugh. The "french door" style seems very handy, I don't like the bin-style for freezer but I think I can live with it. Down to these in no particular order:
If this was my forever-home, then I'd get a liebherr or miele.
I am capable of doing my own repairs, have done a full teardown of my current fridge a couple types with deep cleaning.
Each of the local appliance vendors were pushing LG refrigerators very heavily (especially for my intended use). Then, places like Yale appliance blog even state they have the lowest calls as a % of units sold.
This makes me suspicious that perhaps LG is offering incentives to the salesfolks to peddle their fridges.. given their 2019 class action lawsuit, and the new attempted one earlier this year in 2024, and all the various threads here asking about status of the compressor.
Thoughts? Mine is: UGH.
Thanks for reading.

2024.05.19 15:58 DDD_db Recommend me a dc-dc charger 36v -> 12v dc

I have several Jump e-bike batteriesthat are 36v and I use them in a powerwall. I want to use this 10p4s 36v system to charge a 12v LiPo4 battery I use on my rv.
What type of device should I use to safely charge the 12v without damaging it or wasting power from the 36v system?
I asked ChatGPT and it recommended this dc-dc buck converter with current control but the reviews are not great and it looks cheap. Can you recommend something better? Looking to spend less than $100.
Thanks in advance.

2024.05.19 14:02 hbllea PIP/PBP in Samsung Odyssey G9 CG93/CG95?

Hi All,
Forgive me posting about something that seems to have been answered in the past - but I'm about to drop ~£1400 and want to be absolutely certain about something:
Thanks to some great advice from this channel, I have decided to upgrade to a 49" ultra wide. I'm currently torn between the LG LG49WQ95C-W and the Samsung G9 OLED (LS49CG954SUXXU or LS49CG934SUXXU).
This monitor will mostly be for productivity and it is absolutely essential that it have functional PBP and PIP. I imagine the vast majority of time, I'll be running a Mac in 21:9 and a PC in 11:9 - though sometimes it'll be one in PIP.
I have been able to confirm that the LG has PIP/PBP but finding out for the Samsungs has been ridiculously difficult. The website says NO but the manuals say YES. Some reviews on Youtube say NO, whereas comments say YES (but state that it is called 'Multiview' in Samsung - but don't confirm whether it is only possible to have two 16:9 or indeed have 11:9 and 21:9). Finally - there seems to be disagreement about whether it is possible and how to enable PIP/PBP on the CG93 vs. the CG95.
So - ultimately - very difficult to get a straight answer (and sadly, there are no local retailers). I don't want to purchase one of the G9's without knowing for certain it will be fit for purpose.
For those of you lucky enough to own a CG93 or CG95, would you please be able to confirm whether it is possible to enable a 21:9/11:9 PBP and if PIP is possible.
Thank you so much!

2024.05.19 03:39 GalacticDork Need help deciding

So as the title states, samsung G8 4k, G8 OLED, the LG 34GS95QE-B3. I was considering the AW3225QF but dell doesnt offer discounts in the US.
They're having a fairly good discount on their website and felt now is the time to upgrade from my older Odyssey G7, not the neo. They have the neo G7 but that doesn't seem like much of an upgrade. I'm considering the LG and Samsung due to discounts and my student discount as well which can save me quite a bit.
I've never had an ultrawide, I play a variety of games though and want something that will be a good all arounder. I have a 3090 for reference.
Let me know what seems to be the best option. I see mixed reviews on both the G8 and the LG for various reasons or another. Some state they both have burn in warranties, other say they don't.
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.19 01:24 Bowlman2330 Panasonic UB820 scrambling

I got a Panasonic UB820 about 2 months ago. I'm having a disappointing experience.
Out of the 10 movies I watch on it, 3 of them have scrambled, then freeze. Only thing to do is skip the chapter and sometimes it doesn't happen again. It's happened on both 4k movies and blurays. But on other movies it seems to work just fine. For $500, I was hoping this would be a solid player. I doubt it's the HDMI cable since it does work 70% of the time.
I have it connected to an LG G4. Any thoughts? Should I just replace it? I'm willing to spend more but most reviews have said this is the one. The 9000 is just at upgraded chassis. Would prefer not to go to Magnetar budget if possible.

literally in SHOCK. Have been averaging 168-173 (highest 173) for a few weeks, and just got a score higher than I even thought I could possibly achieve. After leaving my test in Nov. 2023 with a 159, I felt incredibly defeated. (not saying this is a bad score by any means, just very hard on myself) I have been studying my butt off since April, and I am praying my test in June reflects this improvement. All to say, ANYTHING is possible. Thank you to everyone in this thread for encouragement and advice throughout this process as well. Good luck to you all!

2024.05.18 22:30 emilyymariee222 Need advice! Write the June LSAT or wait?

Hey all! I'm really stressed and struggling with deciding what I should do in this situation. I'm currently registered for the June test but I have a few issues at hand:
1) I'm not where I want to be with preptest scores. Currently I'm scoring in the 150's timed and in the 160's review. LG games was the easiest for me to learn and I get about -5 timed and can get -0 in my reviews. This was the main reason why I wanted to take the June test before LG goes away. I struggle a bit more with LR and especially RC which is my most difficult section. I think with more studying and practice I can get about -5 on LR but I don't know if that's possible before the June Test. Moreover, I'm hesitant to take the LSAT at a later date with the test changes due to my difficulties with RC. I struggle with both timing and answering the questions themselves in RC and I haven't really seen much improvement overall in this section. I really don't know whether it would be best for me to take the June test with LG and have that boost my score a little bit or wait and receive the same score as I would've gotten or better by taking the LSAT at a later date.
2) I ran the check for the proctoring software to see if my laptop met the basic requirements (I was planning on doing the remote test) and it did not pass (apparently my screen resolution is not at the minimum requirement - definitely the last thing I would've predicted to be the issue, but here we are). I'm unable to take the test at a testing centre as there are no locations in my area so my next best option if I want to take the June test is to buy a new laptop. I was eventually planning on buying a new laptop within the year, but not this soon, and it is just another factor adding on to my stress about my situation. In September however, I will be living in an area where there is a testing center nearby.
3) From being stressed about all of this and due to my full time work, I've been neglecting studying for a few days and avoiding thinking about it. I also missed scheduling a time slot for the test and from reading previous posts, it almost seems unlikely I will even get a time slot at this point.
In short, I'm really conflicted with what I should do: write the June LSAT since I've registered for it anyway, try my best, and see how it goes? Or wait to write in September, where I can write it in a testing center and have additional time to drill and study for LR and RC?

2024.05.18 21:38 mjike Talk me out of the Dell U4025QW, a 40" 2160p, 120hz ultrawide IPS

I definitely wouldn't be asking this if I didn't have an 65" LG G3 on the adjacent wall of my PC and any time I feel the desire to enjoy some OLED goodness, it's as simple as a few clicks. So if not for that I'd be picking up the AW3423DW to replace my AW3418DW which has a rapidly progressing edge lighting failure. Also if my current monitor wasn't on it's last legs I'd probably not be looking at replacing it today and would be waiting til Q4 of this year or Q5 of next for the next batch of the true 4k based Ultra-wide monitors to arrive.
It's worth mentioning I don't have much interest in using an OLED for anything outside of gaming. Granted my only experience in that scenario is with QD-OLED and not W-OLED so that opinion could change if I had experience with the latter, but when a buddy was out of town for a month I commandeered his 49" Samsung Odyssey and absolutely hated it for dealing with internet and/or productivity(gaming was hot though)
Also if I was sticking with 3440x1440, even if going to an OLED feels much more of a side grade. Sure there is improvements but I'm not sure the improvement per $$$ is there, at least for me. Some will point out the increase in refresh but I'm in that camp of 120hz is great enough for me. Of course I can tell a difference the higher the refresh but I wasn't blown away by moving from 120fps to 200fps where as moving from 60fps 120fps is life altering. So really I'm looking at the following two serious candidates with another solution a possibility but not one likely:
Option #1: Dell U4025QW - Upgrade in both size and resolution. Finally a 2160p ultrawide that isn't based on 60hz. My only reservation here is there's hardly any reviews of this monitor however with it being in the Ultra Sharp category, it typically isn't going to be a quality failure.
Option #2: Alienware 3821DW - I have a friend with this monitor and I did like it. It's basically a direct upgrade for anyone with an AW 3418/3420 in both size and a slight resolution bump that lands it between a 1440p monitor and 2160p monitor. My only reservation here is I typically will spend a bit more on a monitor as I plan on them being a 6-10 year investment. I'm not sure that once 2160p ultrawides are readily available 2 years from now will I be satisfied with this one.
Now the 3rd option that I'm not opposed to but also not giving too much thought is picking up a budget monitor to hold me over til that Q1 2025 window. The problem is I have 0 clue which of those sub $500 3440x1440s are good buys or are garbage.

Extrapolating the Roster: OL

The Cowboys and their Nation value a dominant OL.
Too many fans have been exposed to quality OL play that a lesser product is not tolerated.
This year the Cowboys have a boat load of players vying for a limited number of roster positions.
Between drafting and positional competition this OL will get elevated.
Let review the cast of characters...
Zach Martin - RG
Terrence Steele - RT
Tyler Smith - LG
Tyler Guyton - LT
T.J. Bass
Cooper Beebe - C
Brock Hoffman
Chuma Edoga
Asim Richards
Matt Waletzko
Nathan Thomas
Josh Ball
Dakota Shepley
Earl Bostick Jr.
That's 14 players with the projected starters in bold.
The projected backups are in italics.
That's 10 players which is super heavy from a roster cut down perspective.
What if Waletzko, Bostick or even Ball shine and take that long awaited super sized step up during training camp?
It's reasonable to assume RG is a position being groomed for next year.
Parking a young player on IR during training camp is almost a must from a roster perspective.
It's not unrealistic that DQ raids the roster come waivers.
If teams suffer losses at OL during preseason could they knock on the trade door looking to replenish?
Cowboys Nation should feel confident that the arrow is pointed in the right direction.
OL fanatics are going to love this training camp and preseason.
Go Cowboys!

2024.05.18 08:10 KannabisWarrior1948 Trying to figure out why I can't choose 120hz on my new TV

Trying to figure out why I can't choose 120hz on my new TV
My LG TV Is supposed to have 120hz native. But on PC and other devices it only shows options up to 60hz.
My PC monitors work fine at 120 and 144hz, detect them just fine, but the TV does not.
I'm concerned because the TV has the TruMotion, which is basically LGs cop-out to marketing a panel that doesn't actually support it.
How can I figure this out? Did I get scammed? Reviews and the site I purchased from and every other I found said it has 120hz native...
Note: There is something plugged in the ARC normally I disconnected it for the picture.

2024.05.18 07:18 Subatomic_Spooder Oneplus 12 vs 12R?

Hello, I'm in the market for a new phone, (I currently use an LG Wing that I've gotten tired of.) However I have so many options I'm getting analysis paralysis. I wasn't even considering OnePlus originally, but I stumbled upon the deals they offer on the 12 and 12r. For the price they both seem like great phones. Currently they offer $100 discount for any device in any condition, which I could get. They also offer student discounts, which applies to me as well. After some quick math, I determined the 12 would be about $570 for the 12+256 model, while the 12R would be about $387 for the 16+256 model. (The 8+128 wouldn't make any sense because for some reason it's not on sale and is only $29 less than the 16+256). So for the $180 price difference, would the 12 be better than the 12R?
I'm not a super heavy user, and probably wouldn't notice the difference in processoram/storage speeds. The things that I'd likely notice the most are the cameras and wireless charging. I love messing around with my phone camera and taking pictures in nature. I'm wondering if there's enough of a difference with the 12's camera setup to warrant paying almost $200 more. If the 12R gets most of the way there I'd probably be happy with saving some money, but I see lots of reviews calling the 12R's macro camera "useless", and its ultrawide angle is a lot lower megapixel as well. I read a review saying the 8MP ultrawide in the 12R gets pretty close to the 48 in the 12, but some people say it's significantly different. I've never had a telephoto lens, but I do think that would be cool and handy, more so than a 2MP macro camera, since the 12's UW can take macros anyway.
And then the other thing is wireless charging. I'm used to just dropping my phone on my charging pad to charge at night now. It wouldn't be much more inconvenient to plug it in but I wouldn't have much use for my wireless pad anymore. I also don't really want to be pumping 80W into my battery all night. Plus I just got a new pair of earbuds that can charge wirelessly and being able to top them up with my phone would be super cool.
So if any of you have tried one or the other, or both, or even just know a lot about phones in general, what would be your recommendation? Thanks for any help you can give!

2024.05.17 21:31 Raileyx [ANALYSIS] Split1 and LAN Performance Review - APAC N

[ANALYSIS] Split1 and LAN Performance Review - APAC N
Prior posts:
This is a series where I take a closer look at all the teams and players that played at LAN, review their stats, trace their progress from split1, and talk about the overall role of the region.
Today we're continuing with APAC N - this region is many things. Second-weakest, most top-heavy, and interestingly enough, also the most predictable region overall. Let's get into it.

APAC N

If APAC S was the weakest, APAC N would be the most imbalanced region. Looking at PVs, most regions have players of pretty much any level, so that when you order them by PV, you see a nice smooth slope from the worst to the best player. APAC N has no player with a value in the 50s. They don't have a player in the 60s either. They also almost don't have a player in the 70s. They go from CR Jusna at 47.0 straight up to KN 4rufa at 79.3.. with nobody inbetween. Things are weird in APAC N.
APAC N has produced a number of great teams, most notably:
  • FNC, who have been considered the strongest APAC N team for ages
  • RJW, formerly REALIZE and FUN123 before that - our tournament winner!
  • PVX, who won the hearts of the crowd by doing well as a duo 2 years ago and who have probably been the most passive team in the world on the international stage, relying on placement points to an unbelievable degree but always doing well with that strategy (although they didn't qualify this time)
  • NTH, there was a stretch where they were the main team next to FNC, but they could never get a great finish at LAN
  • CR, a south korean team that was led by Ras, who was considered one of the best players at that time. They have since completely changed their roster and picked up the orgless team "ganbare otousan", who have also managed to gain quite a following
Once again we'll look at the teams from the last finisher to the best in order.

HAO - 40th

https://preview.redd.it/5v9w6d2gge1d1.png?width=2010&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa9621655c48b3aac99414dae1ecc628390b1cc5
HAO is a Japanese esports organization. They have parted ways with their two coaches on May 10th.
There isn't much to say here. Their stats weren't great during Split 1, and they got worse at LAN. It looks like all three of them got caught off guard by the level of play that was thrown at them on the international stage. There are no big surprises here - you could point out HAO Right as the formerly best player on the squad, who fell to being pretty much the same as his teammates, but at the end of the day, this just looks like a team that simply got run over by everyone else and there wasn't much that any of the three could do about it. HAO 5CG only had 8 kills.
40th place. LAN is brutal.

NORTHEPTION - 34th

https://preview.redd.it/t37ejqamge1d1.png?width=2011&format=png&auto=webp&s=2730aa722fefb7b4c9802670fbeea0f412cb6f8e
NORTHEPTION is a Japanese esports organization. They have parted ways with yukaPEROdator on May 14th.
NTH has an interesting history. They've finished APAC N PL in second place both splits in year 3. You'd think that this would mean that they'd be at least decent internationally, but this couldn't be more wrong. Their last finishes internationally have been 28th, 30th, 24th and now 34th - their worst placement so far. Their PL placement in year 4 hasn't been great this time around, barely making it to LAN with an 8th place finish. NTH is a struggling team, and their stats reflect that.
Taida, who has been a household name for APAC N still shows up being ahead, but his performance fell significantly between PL and LAN. YukaPEROdator seems to have been affected even more, as he lost 16.5 PV, which is a lot when your values aren't that good in the first place. With only 11 kills, he was the 6th worst this tournament, sharing that place with COL Kimchi.
One thing that stands out to me is that the entire team had decent damageratios going into the tournament (especially Taida, who had one of the best in the world), but got humbled hard in that department. It seems that where they could trade favourably in APAC N, they got instead put down at LAN. Just like HAO, they likely just got outgunned by teams that were much stronger fighters than anything they were used to. The only player that appears to have been able to put up a fight was Taida, but that's just not enough to even make it into losersbracket2. Taida had the third highest UR of the region, at 25.7.
I'm curious to see where NTH will go from here. I'd love to see them bounce back. We'll have to see who they pick up to replace yukaPEROdator.

RIDDLE - 31st

https://preview.redd.it/9eluotvnge1d1.png?width=2012&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed14bb1ee4fc25339eb2cd65ab2a6a484b2beb2c
RIDDLE is a Japanese esports organization. Meltstera has stepped down from the roster on the 12th of April, and UmichanLoveti, who has won PL with FNC 2 splits ago, got signed today, on the 17th of May. Interestingly, Meltstera was his teammate on FNC back then, so Riddle effectively just switched one ex-FNC player out for another one.
Riddle shares this 31st place with 2 other teams, PUA and OXG. They're the last APAC N team that didn't make losers2 and had to go home after only 30 games.
Meltstera immediately stands out as the star-player of the team. He used to play for FNC and has scared NA teams into submission by tapstrafing around their heads for years, making a name for himself as one of the most experienced and mechanically skilled players in APAC N. And I think he's still got it in him, rocking the second highest UR in all of APAC N at 32.1. He certainly tried to carry, but just like with NTH, one strong player isn't enough to make it very far.
Another thing to point out is that Yukio entered LAN as one of the worst players of the field, with the worst damage and damageratio out of everyone (ignoring the 4 chinese/SA squads). He should probably work on his damage, as 276/game really isn't much, but he did seem to improve across the board and actually outkilled both of his teammates. That's nothing to scoff at. With that, he's the 3rd most improved player in the region at PVdiff +16.1! However, this says more about the region as a whole (barely anyone improved in APAC N), and the level he was at before.
Yukio actually has the third lowest dmg/kill value out of everyone at LAN, at only 367 dmg/kill. A cynical person would say that he's really good at stealing kills from Melstera, and a more charitable person would say that he's really making his damage count. I'm neither of those people, so I'll leave it up to the reader to decide which interpretation is more true. He also took the least damage out of everyone in the entire tournament! If we think a second about what that implies, we should quickly come to the conclusion that this is in fact NOT a good thing. Hint: The next 3 players on that list are all on NTC, the chinese team that finished 39th and that had the weakest stats overall by a long shot.
Saku was one of the people with the fewest kills in the tournament at only 8. This puts him at a shared 2nd worst overall, sharing that place with a HAO 5CG. There was probably someone who outkilled the poor guy in just a single game. I don't want to keep going about this, let's just say thank god for Meltstera (who is now gone!) and leave it at that. If nothing changes, I think there's a real chance they don't make LAN next time.
Onto the next team.

Red Rams - 29th

https://preview.redd.it/h1504bypge1d1.png?width=2010&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9d9f1e222c3c417e0e23e512aa839623e975865
RED Rams is an Japanese team owned by Rakuten esports. They parted ways with their analyst on the 10th of May.
We have finally made it past losers bracket 1 and entered losers bracket 2. Here's the infamous team that got TSM into a world of trouble. Nicewigg jokingly commented that Red Rams was the first team that got the better of TSM by successfully contesting them and making them back off. I will say it not so jokingly: Red Rams are the first team that got the better of TSM by successfully contesting them and making them back off. Kudos to them.
Looking at their stats, it's a beautiful mess. Red Rams is like a mini-Aurora, in the sense that they don't give a damn if they take damage at all, as long as it means that they get to shoot back. Datch and Tikochan both do good damage but eat even more damage. Wayachang takes just as much damage but doesn't deal any, which can't be healthy for the team, but if it's enough to screw TSM then who am I to argue. They're team with the lowest average dmgratio out of all 40 teams, and I repeat: They made TSM leave.
Wayachang was also the player that got carried the 2nd most in all of APAC N. He was also the player that lost most PV between Split1 and LAN for APAC N, at -31.20. If you think back to APAC S, there's probably 10 players there that lost more, but that's APAC S. In APAC N, it's wayachang all the way, going from being the best on his squad to being the worst. I wonder what happened to him, and if they could've put TSM down even harder if wayachang had kept his level.
They're a fun team to watch. If we see them again, I recommend everyone dedicate a game or two to their POV.

Crazy Raccoon - 21st

https://preview.redd.it/lzv4p9yrge1d1.png?width=2010&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa0813395995be8af8cb87a13bdd11d8bc04d98b
Crazy Raccoon is a Japanese esports organization. They signed the formerly orgless team "ganbare otousan".
Here's the team with the 3rd best name, only behind "Reject Winnity" and behind what happens when you translate MDYw to english. Not surprising, as these guys had the absolute best name and also the best logo before they got signed, when they played as "ganbare otousan".
So how did they do? They missed finals by just 2 points. In a different world they could've denied Alliance their spot in the finals, but it didn't happen this time. Maybe it's karma for them sneaking into winners bracket in 20th after group stages. Just looking at their placement, if there's a team that's "the average team", it's probably them.
The first thing I notice when looking at the stats is that there's a beautiful staircase going up from Dogma's dmg all the way to jungHee's dmgratio. If jungHee had gotten 80 more kills, we could've added another step, but that also wasn't meant to be, as he got the fewest kills on his team.
jungHee's stats are a little strange, because they're just so unbalanced - his dmgratio is obviously great and it seems that he can regularly outtrade everyone in fights, but he doesn't get too many kills. He's the only CR player who runs the triple take (although it's not his primary gun), so maybe that goes some way to explain these stats, but even then it's pretty high and he really didn't play the triple take THAT much. It looks like he's really just a step above when it comes to efficient fighting and poking without getting poked back instantly.
Jusna's stats are bit more even where jungHee's are not, but they come out to be around the same at the end, as his overall PV is pretty similar to that of jungHee.
As for Dogma, he managed to improve by getting more kills, but seems to have gotten carried both at LAN and during Split1. At -27.4UR he is very clearly falling behind his teammates. The bottom step of the grande dogma-jungHee staircase is especially concerning - at the 6th percentile for damage, it seems like Dogma is barely doing any damage at all. This is the 3rd worst for APAC N and the 8th worst in the world, despite being on a team that really isn't doing too poorly (again, they almost made it to finals!). Despite that, he's the 5th most improved player in the region. This is mostly because almost nobody in the region does any improving.
In conclusion, jungHee and Jusna played great, Dogma not so much.

KINOTROPE - 20th

https://preview.redd.it/ah5u975uge1d1.png?width=2009&format=png&auto=webp&s=1673b4eac8d18fd36847270f25e48bf14a70d403
KINOTROPE gaming is a Japanese esports organization. They have since parted ways with the entire roster.
One of three APAC N finalists, this team has some interesting stats. The obvious player to talk about is KN 4rufa who has the highest UR out of all players this tournament, with 48.9UR, meaning he was the hardest carry player. What a tournament for him. Remember this clip? That's him right there, carrying KN on his back. Just a godly performance all around. He has a PV of 79.3, which is the highest we've seen so far. At +26.57PV he was also the most improved player in APAC N, and the 11th most improved in the world. He had the greatest positive UR change in all of APAC N and the 4th greatest in the world, at +48.68! But UR is teambased, so it didn't only have to do with him, it also had to do with....
MiaK, who was the carry player during split1 and he was the player who has lost the 2nd most PV in APAC N (-28.87), only behind RR wayachang. The same thing is true for UR, where he again gets beaten by wayachang. Nevertheless, his PV is still pretty good for APAC N at 44.8, it's just not the same MiaK that we've seen during PL. His greatest weakness seemed to be that he just took a lot of damage. Playing in a weaker region can build bad habits that are then relentlessly exploited by the top teams in the world, so maybe a bit of that has happened here. Sloppy positioning, peeking a second too long, moving just a little too predictably - all things that you can get away with in APAC N, but once you get squeezed between DZ and AUR you'll find yourself in a world of hurt if you don't play it perfectly.
1tappy was the weakest player on the squad during LAN and during Split1, but where he managed to get kills before, it appears he is now struggling to simply survive. He was the player who got carried the most in all of APAC N by a large margin, with a UR of -45.9, which is the 6th overall for this tournament.
My biggest questions after viewing this team are: Can 4rufa keep it going, and will he be the next up and coming player in APAC N? And: Can MiaK bounce back from this performance and reclaim his old level?Definitely keeping an eye on that roster next split, provided they stay together. One of the teams where I can't guess at all at how they're going to do going forward.

FNATIC - 3rd

Before we get to the last two teams let us take a quick breather and look at this old thing:
https://preview.redd.it/pmafl7nvge1d1.png?width=1617&format=png&auto=webp&s=914b386840a138cf2088cc8f3975eea9e20f3f7b
Discussion before LAN with a few guys from the apex power rankings, shoutout to kppoll.com - RJW, DZ and FNC went on to finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.
It's march and I had been looking at stats for PL, noticing that certain teams appear to have extremely odd numbers, where odd means out of this world, crazy outliers. FNC's stats were so good that I thought I had made a mistake somewhere and inflated them by accident, but they turned out to be real. What's the deal with FNC? Let's set the scene a little.
Going back in time, they had YukaF, Meltstera and Umichanloveti, then that squad dissolved and FNC was rebuilt around YukaF, who was the carry player at the time. I believe he needs no introduction, as he's literally THE APAC N player. Possibly the most famous player of the region, except for maybe Ras who no longer plays the game.
So who else do they pick up?
  1. Lykq. He plays split2 on Naked together with 4rufa, who we know is INSANELY good. Both of them had PVs in the 90s - but Lykq's value was even better than 4rufa's. At playoffs he sets himself apart from 4rufa, Lykq's UR there is 38 (!) while 4rufa is lagging far behind. Fast forward to champs, he's now on NTH where he has a UR of 28, so he's carrying there too. But if you think that is impressive, look at his teammate on NTH, who was the second pickup:
  2. Satuki. Forget about the placements and look at the stats, he's the hard carry player of NTH. Playoff1 last year he has the highest UR on his team at 27, carrying hard, before Lykq joined the team. Split2 last year, he has a PV of 94.1, which is the 5th highest in the region. Playoffs2, he has the 2nd highest UR in the world, only behind ezflash. Champs? Highest UR for all of APAC N. If hardcarry was a person, it would be Satuki. And he hasn't played on a bad squad either, he's been on NTH all this time. That is not a bad team! Lykq was on that team!!
We take 2 hardcarry players who played on the best teams in APAC N and give them to YukaF, what a brilliant plan. What do we get? A monstrosity.
https://preview.redd.it/6stu6mcxge1d1.png?width=2010&format=png&auto=webp&s=872742a56c05e9d4988c60a800102b4ce17898ef
Fnatic is a British esports organization. Their team is also pretty good at apex.
Lykq has the 3rd highest k/d in the world, only behind two DZ players, who had the benefit of farming group stages to a truly disgusting degree. He also had the most kills in the tourney, at 72. That's 6 more than genburten, which is crazy considering that DZ broke all records during the group stages.
YukaF is YukaF.
Satuki plays just as well as when he carried NTH, which is to say.. FNC doesn't have a weak link. They could've easily won it all. They almost did.

Reject Winnity - 1st

https://preview.redd.it/32scz3wyge1d1.png?width=2010&format=png&auto=webp&s=f708d834112fc7a6d6c17c4b96c01174e65a2e56
REJECT WINNITY is a Japanese esports organization. Our tournament winners!
They're another superteam, but unlike FNC which was carefully constructed to be a superteam, they just grew together over time and all became goats together.
Sangjoon really came in with all 100s, and that's despite the 15% NA-buff that i discussed at the start of the last post. This man deals more damage in PL than I do in pubs. He also has the best dmgratio in the world, at 1.64 - For reference, the second best player (RC obly), has a dmgratio of 1.45. That is quite the gap. How does he do it? Peacekeeper-magic, being a human aimbot, he might also just be a savant when it comes to playing around cover. Seriously, if you've never watched him play, you need to check him out for a game or two.
There's only a few players that I would consider for the title of best in the world (EZflash, SangJoon and Genburten), and he's probably the most serious contender. Absolutely insane performance.
On to Obly. His lowest value is 97. Wtf Obly?
KaronPe is a bit behind in damage, but he was on Wattson so that's understandable. Seeing this guy putting down fences, he puts them down faster than RR puts down TSM. My goodness.
I could go on, but I don't think I need to. The stats speak for themselves. Overall, I don't think anyone can argue that these guys didn't deserve the win. What a joy to watch, and I can't wait to see what they do next.

Closing thoughts on APAC N

RJ winning and FNC coming third can give the mistaken impression that APAC N is a strong region. They are not. APAC N is a region with two outstanding superteams, and then... well, what then? There are 6 players over PV80 in the region, all of which are shared between RJ and FNC. 4rufa is close, but that's it. Who else is there?
Taida, who has struggled for quite some time. MiaK, who looked good during the Split, but has seemingly lost his touch, at least during this LAN. Meltstera? Looking good, but again, doesn't have the teammates to back him up and has stepped down from his team. There are some obscure players like Raygh and Kuroton who didn't make LAN but had the highest UR values in the world for split1 - there's probably something there, but there's a fair chance that they'll simply go unnoticed. The PVX players have all been looking pretty bad recently. CR seems to have found their limits as well. Jusna is a demon if he wants to be, but where was he this LAN? Or at champs? Or at Playoffs2? There are a few other stragglers, players like UmichanLoveti that didn't look too great recently, but at least have a history of great play if you look further back.
Looking at APAC S, I can easily see the potential for 3-4 additional top tier teams that could be formed rather easily by switching out just a single player. In APAC N, I can barely see one additional team, maybe two at most. It seems like the talent just got insanely concentrated and now the rest of the region is struggling to keep up. While it is great to see APAC N on top, the performance of the rest of the region does not give me much confidence for the future. What I'd like to see from them is at least one more team that can reliably get close to the top10 at LAN, but I'm not sure if that's in the cards.
Final Stats
  • Average PV: 44.7
  • Average PV diff: -1.3
showing that APAC N performed basically as expected, but still poorly overall. Of the 4 regions, these are the second lowest averages. APAC S isn't too far behind them. If the top2 teams are removed as outliers, that average drops to 28.4 for APAC N, for APAC S it only drops to 37.9. If you are a fan of APAC N, those numbers should scare you. They scare me.
correlations Split1 to LAN:
  • Dmgratio 0.71
  • Dmg 0.83
  • KD 0.83
  • PV 0.89 (!!!)
  • UR 0.57
The correlations are frankly insane. APAC N was the most predictable region by far. 0.89 means that the values are almost perfectly correlated, which seems unbelievable but I guess when the model works it REALLY works.
Highest PV players
  • RC obly 97.2
  • RC SangJoon 97.1
  • FNC Lykq 96.0
  • FNC YukaF 93.0
  • FNC satuki 89.7
Highest UR players (hardest carry)
  • KN 4rufa 48.9
  • RID Meltstera 32.1
  • NTH Taida 24.6
  • RR Datch 19.0
  • CR Jusna 16.7
Most improved players
  • KN 4rufa 26.6
  • FNC Lykq 17.1
  • RID Yukio 16.1
  • RR Tikochan 15.9
  • CR Dogma 11.9
And that's it for APAC N - EMEA is up next.
Note: There were two errors with the data before, which is why this post took so long to get out - I was waiting for the data to get fixed before posting.
  1. The site that I use for my data (shoutout to https://apexlegendsstatus.com/ ) pulls all the data directly from the tournament, and apparently their API had some sort of buffering issue for one single game, which is why game 3 of the finals was just missing from the data. The team that has been most affected by this was LG (especially Fuhhnq who had a gazillion kills that game), since that particular game was the best game they had all tournament. Luckily, none of the most affected teams were APAC S, so nothing much changed there, and the APAC S post is still pretty accurate.
  2. Zone damage was bugged and was counted in dmg received, which should've not been the case. This means that the dmgratio value too low for every player. Since I only use relative values for the PV, and everyone was affected the same way, this ended up not mattering too much, except for a few outliers. Luckily (again), there weren't any weird zone outlier teams for APAC S, so again this ended up not mattering much for the last post. The team was affected the most was Aurora, who got buffed a little bit because they practically live in zone, so now their dmgratios are a bit better.
Overall, changes of +/-2 PV were typical, so it's not a lot. The overall picture remains unchanged despite these errors, so I will not go back and edit the post.
The most important change is that Gnaske is no longer the #1 most improved player, I think he got fried a bit too hard in the missing game 3. Also, o7 only took very little damage to zone, which further nerfed them and is related to something very funny I'll talk about in the next post. Sorry Gnaske!
The most improved player is now HRZ Bastiaan0Z from APAC S, who was a close 2nd before and just barely overtook Gnaske.

2024.05.17 21:14 DrProse LG OLED Panel question

Hi there, I just bought LG 27GS95QE Oled panel and it looks amazing in terms of colors/responsiveness... as proven in detail by: https://www.rtings.com/monitoreviews/lg/27gs95qe-b
Is it normal tho that when the monitor is displaying white images (like a Paint full white image), it looks like its a little wet, as if a cloth soaked slightly in water had been wiped over it. Regards

2024.05.17 20:53 amusinglark Laundry machine that doesn't trap moldy fur in the gasket? Top loader?

Laundry machine that doesn't trap moldy fur in the gasket? Top loader?
My current laundry machine is an LG front loader (WM3170CW) inherited from the previous homeowners. I'm so sick of keeping the gasket clean. I've heard that new front loaders solved some of the problems but the machine is only 8 years old.
I know about leaving the door open to dry. Lately I've been spraying the gasket with vinegar before or after every load and it has cut down on the mold. But fur still gets trapped in these holes every cycle. The white fur in the photo is from a single furry bean bag cover, but this happens with our dog's fur too, which is of course all over. Sometimes water spills out the door and onto the floor. I don't want to poke a q-tip through a moldy gasket every cycle!!?? I don't really want to touch the thing at all.
https://preview.redd.it/q4p0g4fl911d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=386bd7fcadd033ea63181c2f02194e11fe1d1c84
We do have very hard water. We've been using liquid detergent, no fabric softener. Lately I've been using vinegar in the softener dispenser. I just learned about empty cleaning cycles and ran one but it's too soon to tell if it will help. I'm going to buy powder detergent too. A washing machine that requires frequent cleaning is not for me. What's the solution?
Top loader
Pros: No gasket to clean. I do frequent bucket soaks and it would be nice to use my laundry machine instead. It's nice to drape towels over the top to dry and to add stuff after the cycle has started, like when I was a kid.
Cons: Doesn't clean as well, hard on clothing, not efficient. I've gotten used to throwing delicates in the wash without worrying about destroying them. Not stackable and it might be fun to try stacking for more space.
I usually go by Wirecutter and they recommend the GE GTW585BSVWS, but everyone else says GE is crap. The $600 price is tempting.
Front loader
GE has an "UltraFresh Vent System" which may solve my problem. Some washers have "anti-microbial" parts. But does this only address the mold and not the physical hair buildup? Wirecutter recommends the GE GFW655 but $1,300 is pricey. Or I could just get the LG front loader that everybody recommends, but how would it be different from the one I already have? Has LG technology improved in 8 years?
I can keep working with our current LG washer, but our dryer is broken and I need to replace it this weekend. I need to decide on a future washer now so that I can get a matching dryer or at least match the color.

2024.05.17 20:23 DogPissesOnPaws 42" LG C3 ($740) or 55" Samsung s90C ($890)?

I am replacing a at least 5/6 year old 43" LG (UK6300) that just isn't scratching that itch in terms of quality. I'm older ( and slightly more seeing and listening impaired) and looking for something crisp with decent sound control. I watch maybe 2 hrs of tv a day, mostly streaming from my phone, and my kids will occasionally watch TV on it as well. However, this is not our main tv, just my main tv ( located in the bedroom). The room it sits in has six, that's right, 6 windows and gets major light. I considered the Samsung frame for this reason but it's gotten such horrible reviews, it's made me nervous to even consider. So, I have decided on an OLED. The prices reflected are open box, excellent condition at my local Best Buy. I hope that eventually the use of this tv will evolve overtime, so at least 5+ years of use is needed.
Many thanks in advance!
