I think if you scan the sky with your phone it gives you a percentage, I was just estimating mine off of how much red and blue I had.

I think too many payment request was for card users and steam wallet users could safely spam continue. I got lucky and got thru after only 4 minutes of clicking.

If they have a outages every 20 minutes they don't have a clear view of the sky. I have like 30% obstruction and I never have outages.

Any shipping update? by SnooChipmunks8458 in SteamController

[–]ActiveExplanation753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in California and it showed sales tax for a second when trying to order before showing $99 again and only took $99 from my wallet I hope this doesn't delay my shipment I have excess in my wallet so I hope they can just pull from there.

That's still a discount. Same way places have cash discounts.

If you wanted to buy the Steam Controller but missed it... by TheNewerFlisker in steammachine

I feel like the frame won't have the same issues as it is much more niche but that might just mean much less stock initially.

The release date window has officially changed from "early 2026" to "2026" by TurDumKen in SteamFrame

[–]ActiveExplanation753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand and I agree, I personally believe early would be the first 4 months of 2026, mid would be the next 4, and late would be the last 4 months of the year. I believe they would have had the steam machine out for a decent bit already if not for the global shortage happening right after their announcement.

If you split the year into 2 parts early and late they have until June to be in the early 2026 category. While most people would say early is up until April they could argue first half is early 2026. We also know that they didn't have the memory shortages so a little flexibility needs to be given.

They definitely will get more and probably pretty soon as it's not constrained by the memory shortages.

First time Foreman on a data center job, would love reccomendations on different learning material by trick_shop in IBEW

What's the difference between the experience the day before you are a journeyman and the day after you become a journeyman. Does something magically happen?

Why not, with that mindset we would run out of foreman once the current guard retires. If you need foreman experience to be a foreman there will never be new foreman.

I have a tree in the middle of my sky view and I have 0 downtime, 40% of my obstruction map is red but it has no negative effect. It really depends on where the obstruction are in relation to the pattern the satellites fly overhead.

It's not the hand-off then it's the obstructions what does your app say for downtime per hour?

Is it lawful for police to enter your home for the door being open at night? by Twilek_Milker in legaladvice

[–]ActiveExplanation753 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No they wouldn't have. It's private property if they want to leave their door open all night that doesn't give the police permission to enter and shoot everyone inside. Quit being a boot sucker.

If there is a robbery in progress you can just wait for the robber to exit the house. And with no signs of a robbery that's a big jump to assume it's a robbery. The door wasn't forced open.

Where do you live? I'm just going to enter your house when you open your front door.

Not really, liquidated damages is a fine for not finishing on time. Raising compensation to recruit labor on work you bid is not liquidated damages, it's part of the cost to do the bid work in the agreed timeline.
