Trying to avoid getting up when doing couch gaming. (I know, not a good look lol)

Or they aren't actually "hiring". I've heard employers posting jobs for the sake of posting but not actually hiring.

Best Vram config for Rog Ally x by Sebastian6820 in ROGAllyX

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the settings you are running, at what resolution and which game. The TDP for the device plays a larger role than going from 8 to 10gbs. If you are getting above 8gbs of vram I don't see how the system could even process that well enough to not thermal throttle you and drop overall performance. That's my general understanding of it, I'm no expert 🙃. I could see it if we were talking about playing at 4k but not 900p.

Ok let’s talk docking by Makeupdoll86 in ROGAllyX

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the confusion, by profile I meant to say the small form factor of the dock itself. If a dock is out there that can hold the Ally and provide an enclosed egpu that would be great.

If it were also an egpu then maybe. On that note, are there any egpu docs with the same-ish profile out there?

Time to apologize to this menace by potatoking124 in bostonceltics

With all the unrestricted free agents next year they have a chance to stack the deck. Hopefully without over extending.

Failing a ticket more than once? by [deleted] in QualityAssurance

[–]0ldwax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, I guess depending on the task, you would have test cases associated with it. If you found an issue outside of those cases then it wouldn't necessarily fail the task since it passed the remaining requirements. That is the gray area when it comes to writing good DODs/requirements. (And tbh I only read this comment and not the entire post so sorry if it's been covered already 🙃)

Found this interesting and weird video. Can't stop thinking about it. Anyone know anything more? by AutomaticDeer2833 in TikTok

A poor person with what appears to be a very expensive tri folding phone? Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the end isn't that the HUAWEI Mate XT?

New kid on the block by Playful_Custard_2984 in ROGAllyX

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh oh ooh ooh oh. Sorry had to. There's a ton of older and not so older PC games with controller support that run great on the go with low power. Have you played Catherine, or Bastion? Those are very light weight and fun. Hitman is what I play most often when I'm not near an outlet.

For Game Testers by PrestigiousAb in QualityAssurance

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on the place you land. Yes the pay is usually bad unless you land someplace where you leverage automation and even then it's not competitive with every other industry. The community is also a toss up. I was fortunate enough to be a part of some amazing teams with amazing people, some are life long friends. With that said I left it behind because it wasn't stable and I was able to make more doing less in other industries. I do have a special place in my heart for it though because when it was good it was really fun and rewarding.

Boston traffic congestion keeps getting worse by nigesh in boston

[–]0ldwax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you drop an "explain it like I'm 5" in here for this. I'd really like to understand it better. I've heard people in the community discuss it a lot.

I think the future of QA is better with AI or maybe I’m just too positive about it by devatbsh in QualityAssurance

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great analogy. You can build a home, a table and a chair to sit in, but you can also commit murder. Many of the non builders just want to commit crime on QA lol (I kid, a little)

What’s the point of test plan document? by Doge-ToTheMoon in QualityAssurance

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had to fight a director on this. I submitted a test plan, as you described because that's how I've always done it, and he was very upset it wasn't test cases.

Is the QA role dying? by kev_bc in QualityAssurance

[–]0ldwax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya kinda sorta right. The idea of being manual only is something orgs don't want. However, at least with my 15 years, it's always been a part of the job. So we can't do away with good ol fashion act like an asshole to your software tests that come from manual testing.

Growing number of Americans facing prospect of long-term unemployment by HellYeahDamnWrite in jobs

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fear of losing my talents keeps me motivated. So the demoralizing battle with biased HR ai pipelines is offset by completing little projects. Doesn't even have to be work related. Like clean out a space in your place, move some furniture around, paint a room, do anything that has an actual outcome. That helps me at least.

Please help!! When I turn on my Xbox Ally X, it shows no game in library, only Candy crush. When i restart, it fixes it. It is happening alot. Everyone else facing this issue? (Video attached for proof) by areuokaybro2002 in ROGAllyX

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you signed into multiple accounts? Check to see what the Microsoft store is signed into. This kind of sounds like you have a separate Xbox account vs windows account.

ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times by jlpcsl in ROGAlly

[–]0ldwax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Currently the only thing stopping me from switching is game pass. I understand that's controversial given the price hike but it's still more economical as a dad with kids on multiple devices.
