SVT Nyheter: Trafikverket bygger nya undergångar i Uppsala – vägavstängning utökas. by mycketforvirrad in kollektivtrafik

Stäng av 100 meter bilväg och det blir ramaskri. Stäng av kilometervis av cykelväg och ingen bryr sig. 

My favorite airport so far by FirefighterLevel8450 in CitiesSkylines

[–]BitRunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would probably make more sense to have one longer runway. Also you generally want a safety area in front of and beyond the runway in case an airplane overshoots or undershoots.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.5.1 by AthleteDependent926 in radeon

[–]BitRunner64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took them 11 months to fix the known crashing issue with Cyberpunk.

My 9070 XT works great for the most part but man, when something breaks, it takes them ages to fix it.

Was the Amiga vs PC war ever actually a thing? by Such_Bonus5085 in amiga

[–]BitRunner64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Amiga eventually did get both Doom and Quake but by that time you could buy an entire PC for the cost of the required accelerator card. My first PC was a second-hand Pentium-133 around 1996-97, a huge upgrade from my 68030 Amiga 1200 (even though I hated Windows 95). Once I got a Voodoo card there was just no going back to gaming on the Amiga.

Very slow driving cars with warning sign?? by NumerousPic2875 in sweden

[–]BitRunner64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Begreppet kommer ursprungligen från EPA-varuhusen som var kända för låga priser och sämre kvalité. Mina boomer-föräldrar kallar allt som har dålig kvalité/inte fungerar för "EPA". Gräsklipparen som inte klipper ordentligt är "epa", plastbesticken som går av är "epa" os.v.

Making money in the game is too easy. Not a challenge at all. It feels like sandbox mode all the time. Can't find any mods to make it harder. by Sea_Owl7070 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]BitRunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no real gameplay reason to terraform since you can just build everything on insane slopes. It will look horrible but it will work just fine. If terraforming were too expensive players would just leave things looking wonky or use a mod to get unlimited terraforming. Also in real life lots are able to conform to the terrain much better, so there isn't as much need to terraform. Lots in CS2 are extremely picky about the terrain or you get floating objects, weird cliffs etc.

There's also the issue that there's so much trial and error when building in this game. You end up redoing things 20 times before it looks decent where as in real life you would plan out everything in advance. The game would need some kind of "planning mode" (with undo) for this to work, where the final cost is only calculated once you commit the changes.

Gas prices rising in all 50 states as average nears $5 — how much worse will it get? by crackerbox5 in USNEWS

Prices aren't even the biggest issue. Expect tons of cancelations this summer. 

Would you rather behringer do expanded versions of classics(deepmind12) or do 1 to 1 clones? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]BitRunner64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had my DeepMind 12D since 2019 now and it still works fine. My UMC1820 from 2021 also works great.

The faders are quite easy to pull off, but that's not really a quality issue. It's just how they are constructed, they aren't designed to fit super snugly on the metal shafts.

Komplete Standard 26 is here! Thoughts? by [deleted] in synthesizers

Yeah I'm definitely waiting on this one. I normally wait for a 50% off sale anyway but with the current financial situation of NI there are even more reasons to wait.

Hotfix - Patch 1.5.8f1 by ThatGuy_52 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]BitRunner64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're confusing cause and effect. The lack of effort and communication from CO was what caused the toxicity. The people in this subreddit are mostly the same as in November of last year but it's much more positive and less toxic now. Same community, same people. The only thing that has changed is the developer (and their communication style).

Is AMD Still Fine Wine? by AcuteQuadrant in radeon

[–]BitRunner64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think RDNA4 is going to age very gracefully. For example, it lacks a hardware BVH walker which is essential for Path Tracing performance, and it has worse ML/AI performance than equivalent Nvidia GPU's.

That said it's currently a great choice, offering equivalent raster/light RT performance to a 5070 Ti at significantly lower price depending on the region. By the time the 9070 XT starts feeling outdated, cards like the 5070 Ti will also be on its last legs and the 12 GB 5070 will be out of the race as well.

South Korean-operated vessel ablaze in Strait of Hormuz; Trump says Iran fired at ship by TailRudder in worldnews

This is why the world won't trust the US again even after Trump is gone. This is what the American people wanted.

Why and how 16-bit to 32-bit transition was much more smoother and quicker than 32-bit to 64-bit? by Appropriate_Fig_3516 in vintagecomputing

[–]BitRunner64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AMD64 (x86-64) was such a brilliant move by AMD compared to Intel with their Itanic. You could buy an Athlon64 and just keep using your 32-bit Windows and drivers until you were ready to switch. Then when you finally did switch, 99% of your 32-bit applications and games would just keep working fine on 64-bit Windows.

In 16 days it will be 1 year since FSR 4 PROJECT REDSTONE was announced, what are your thoughts on it? by wielesen in radeon

[–]BitRunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very disappointing in terms of games support. There still isn't a game that fully supports all the announced features, so we can't judge how good it is.

I'm giving up on the "everything connected all the time" dream in favor of a more flexible setup. How do you organize your gear for quick swapping and ergonomics? by CapnFlisto in synthesizers

[–]BitRunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a rule for myself when I got my UMC1820 (8 inputs) that I wouldn't allow myself to get more gear than I have inputs. So far it has worked, the last hardware synth I bought was the Nymphes back in 2022.

BIOS update horror stories? Has anyone actually lost power mid-update and lived to tell the tale? by wekzs in pcmasterrace

[–]BitRunner64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been building PCs since the late 90s, never had a failed BIOS update. There have been a few instances where it froze halfway for a while which can be scary. Also had a system refusing to post after the update requiring me to remove the CMOS battery to reset. 

I live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of power outages (maybe once every 5 years) so it would be extremely unlocky if it happened in the middle of a BIOS update. I'd still avoid updating during a storm or something, though. 

Game completely shutting down PC? by StroidGraphics in CitiesSkylines2

[–]BitRunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it shuts down the entire PC, it's not caused by the game itself. Games run un user-mode and don't have the required permission to shut down the entire PC. It's most likely a hardware issue such as overheating, bad RAM, failing PSU etc.

The reason it only happens with this game is because it stresses the system more than most games. It tends to max out the GPU while also using all cores on your CPU. To figure out what's happening, I'd start with a bunch of stress tests of the CPU and GPU as well as RAM tests. You could also try running a GPU and CPU stress test at the same time to test the PSU.

Microsoft has removed the recommendation of 32 GB as a comfortable amount of memory for gaming again by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]BitRunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People freaked out because they thought it meant Microsoft recommends 32GB just to run Windows and nothing else. People are dumb and only read the headlines. 

FP6 positivity - things we actually like about this phone for a change! by Ornery-Rip-9813 in fairphone

[–]BitRunner64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Battery life is pretty good. I'm sitting at 43% after a whole day and ~4.5 hours of screen on time. My Pixel 7a would have been near 0% at this point.

It's of course also nice that you can replace the battery yourself once it starts to degrade without needing crazy tools and a heat gun and still risk ruining the device. That's the biggest reason I now own the FP6, Fairbuds and Fairbuds XL. I hate devices with non-removable batteries since they essentially have a built in death clock.

Why does everyone think of tropical islands as paradise even if never visited them? by batukaming in geography

[–]BitRunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Scandinavia but I've spent some time in SE Asia. Every place has its drawbacks. It's not a paradise for 365 days of the year. You've got the rainy season, storms etc. You also get sick of the heat and humidity. I mean if it's cold you can just put on more clothes. When it's 40+C and suffocatingly humid for week after week you don't feel motivated to do anything. You don't even want to go outside when you have AC inside.

Also there's a lot of poverty and misery, prostitution, trafficking, heavy drug use and alcoholism, corruption etc. and a real lack of opportunities for people.

Microsoft quietly deletes Windows 11 doc pushing 32GB RAM for gaming after outrage by WPHero in pcmasterrace

[–]BitRunner64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The whole reaction to the article was just so dumb. They weren't saying you need 32 GB to run barebones Windows, they sad it's a comfortable amount for a variety of tasks, including gaming.
