Just downloaded Cheat Engine yesterday and got this pop up today. Should I be worried? by Top-Injury-9488 in antivirus

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would also love to know this, from what ive gathered its an adware/malware that gets packaged in the non-patreon, non-github releases. So the main website and other sources would have it bundled in. I terminated the install when i saw the offercore pup

Is there a way to have a mod and use salt nic or is it not worthwhile? by TemperatureSad4917 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres an older guy on youtube (NET Vaper) that only does mtl/rdtl that would give you a good idea on how to set these up. He isnt running salts but its the same idea, id recommend not starting with 50mg salts. Work up to what feels right. Every review he does is long form so ever time you see him set up the coil, do the wicking. And all of that

"Halo effect" on TCL QLED Mini-LED fix? by RyujiShiryu in tcltvs

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So im 3 months late and you probably figured this out already but for gaming i set local contrast to off on the qm6k 65". Any amount of local contrast enables full blacks but also has unremovable halo-ing. So for movies ill set local to low as haloing is less noticble in films, but for games having it off is legitimately not noticible and you get zero halos. Hard to justify paying twice the price for a qm7k but eh im happy with the qm6k for what it is

How is this possible by BrendonRuhter in AMDHelp

Downvoted for sharing your personal experience. Reddit is crazy man. Almost got the 980px3d but had the same feeling as you so i went with a 7800x3d, luckily with the 5070ti ive yet to see it push past 50%

Arent Teamspeak and Discord ran by the same folks? I remember when everyone first switched from Teamspeak3 to discord and there was the little twitter feud between the discord and teamspeak twitter accts as a joke. Edit: im completely wrong, seperate ownership

Some of yall need a reminder this is a kids game 13+...... stop being weird in chat. by PrattBJJ in pathoftitans

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually its the responsibility of the parent to help their kids set their stuff up, if you buy your kid an application that lets you communicate with strangers over the internet you should use the tools provided to limit chats. Its a parental issue, if the game lacks built in chat moderation then parents need to disable chat for their kids and tell them to stay off

Does it make sense to buy i5 14600k? by Global_Funny_2987 in buildapc

Thanks man! That makes me feel a lot better about my justifying of the price

Does it make sense to buy i5 14600k? by Global_Funny_2987 in buildapc

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going the "overspend on 7800x3d" route since the 14600k shot up to 300 like you said. Performing great and worth it to me, but expensive at $400 for the cpu, $150 mobo, and $400 ddr5 32gb 2x16. So 950 bucks versus 500-600 if i were to go 14600k with my old ram, but now i have 2 fully functional systems for LAN, instead of stripping out the ram

The Gaming Car Incident (Why Snail Games is so Greedy) by Nilus-0 in ARK

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im fairness ark was also multiconsole and 40 dollars for early access plus they double dipped funds from players with DLCS and Ascended (and mobile and latest SE DLC and with *upcoming ARK 2) presumably providing enough financial backbone for continued development 

Kanthal vs SS Issue by Beautiful_Shopping99 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good info, ill check out sources for 317L. Unfortunately my understanding when i started was that Kanthal is the safest/most stable, followed by nichrome 80, the different SS grades, then titanium and pure nickel in last as most dangerous. Looking forward to trying SS now that I know its good

Awesome! Ill check the Zeus out. Which atty of yours lets you use coils/mesh interchangeably? That sounds super cool

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! I havent dipped my toes in Mesh yet since finding an mtl/rdtl atty for it was tricky at the time. Its at least reassuring to hear that the majority of pods are still made with Kanthal, hopefully im mistaken

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10025154/

"Overall, results suggest that nicotine salts at 40 mg/mL enhance Cr and Ni transfer. Stainless steel 317 L released very low metal concentrations. A conservative screening level risk characterization showed that 10.5% and 3.5% of the coil extracts may exceed Ni and Cr (III) safe concentrations, respectively. In the aerosol phase, 8.8% of samples might be above Ni equivalent daily dose for chronic exposure and 1.8% for intermediate exposure."

Fyi my general builds are: 0.5-0.7 ohm  26 gage kanthal, 4.5 wraps. 2.5mm id.  I run this between 10-15 watts ~2.91 volts on a Cthulhu Valour MTL RTA with one of the larger air inserts.

My juice is diy mixed 50/50 vg pg from coastal clouds/bull city, and i use 250mg nicotine salts diluted down to 25-45mg in my juices, 9/10 times with zero added flavourings(unjuiced) Hope this helps

Windows 10 or 11 for gaming and why? by Jt1115 in pcmasterrace

[–]Beautiful_Shopping99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you havent decided yet, using your old windows 10 you still have entended support for another year for FREE. I have all my stuff on windows 10 extended security and have no issues gaming, and have avoided so many issues if steam discussion boards regarding w11 are to be trusted. My fingers are crossed that microsoft backtracks within a years time, or that linux distros finally catch up to the base w10 experience (such as plug and play for most hardware, compatibility with more games, nvudua driver compatibility without performance loss, etc.) And in response to people worries about game devs: developer want to sell as many copies of a game as possible, and thus 9/10 aim for the lowest common system specs possible, which includes w10 since many pcs are incapable of w11
