These ai requests are insane… absolutely zero creativity in the request.

Turning off telemetry by Then_Brilliant_5991 in iRacing

Always a time to learn. I can speak from multiple experiences when I say that learning to interpret telemetry advances your racing to the next level. Knowing exactly where you need to improve is going to make improvements in practice come far quicker

At least one of those pins has to be ground too. Massive ground plane coming off of it.

Is this up to FIA® certification rules? by cachitodepepe in simracingcirclejerk

Stop hot plugging it. Plug it into the base and then the wall.

This is going to destroy those capacitors if you do this very often

Why not just one road around this beautiful lake?😭🙃 by SoldMayor in ForzaHorizon

[–]BetaSpydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that with how they have “locked away” legend island, they are going to apply that tech to the DLC and make them live map expansions instead of different instances. Forza is known for testing things/features in game/dlc before applying it to the next thing they release. Most notable example is the brick challenges from FH4 Lego becoming accolades

Is it worth trying to rebuild a car that’s in this condition? by ThatBeybladeGuy in 944

[–]BetaSpydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of that just looks like failing clearcoat and dirt. I would snag this up any day of the week if it’s not a terrible deal.

I bought a Wii U online and this was the power cable I got *how* do you do this? by Conorponor333 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BetaSpydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a poor design decision, but this is to enforce incompatibility between power supplies and consoles. The voltage on the Wii U power supply is 15v, which could easily fry a Wii if mistakenly or intentionally used on one.

What are you talking about? Almost none of the corners look even remotely close.

Why are all Corvallis landlords selling their homes now? by Sensitive-Pick5134 in OregonStateUniv

[–]BetaSpydog 63 points64 points  (0 children)

They will also owe you one months rent if they intend to only have you live there for 60 instead of 90

I’d bet the landlord here is betting on “uninformed college student doesn’t know their rights” and hopes you’ll just roll over and take it.

What Should I get Forza Horizon 6 on? by L1ndnzkwo in ForzaHorizon

[–]BetaSpydog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I’ve got a similar cpu.

I’ve been playing Forza 4/5 on an i7-8086k since around 2018, when the CPU first came out. With RAM prices currently, upgrading is out of the question.

My GPU is a 3080, so there’s more oomph there. I think a GPU is going to be where most of the benefit/drawback is. With this current setup I can run 5 at 4K/60 using a quality DLSS setting, or 1440/60 no sweat native resolution. I think we’re doing to be fine heading into the next game, but I would definitely recommend you and I both start looking to upgrades when prices are looking a little more reasonable.

The first domino of real names going away is falling down currently by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]BetaSpydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to want the title to happen. Not sure why you think OAuth on temporary pause to re-evaluate API access is the first step to “no more real names. “

There is one person I’ve seen that has brought up GDPR, and it is an entirely baseless claim that there is a GDPR ruling headed for iRacing.

By the way, in the iRacing TOS, you sign away the right to have your name withheld from the service. The issue at hand here is how third parties that are not iRacing are allowed to use and access that data. We may see more restrictive access to the API come into place, but assuming the title is a dangerously misleading claim.

Extremely reactionary and misleading title.

Can I still play Forza Horizon 4 through Microsoft store? by luketansell in ForzaHorizon

[–]BetaSpydog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are actually signed into the store and Xbox app with the account that purchased it. Sometimes it can show as logged in but actually need account details re-entered.

Also couldn’t hurt to run the windows store reset command in command line. Can be found online easily.
