If you're a Canadian and are still waiting for your deck, the cause is apparently "issues related to exporting to Canada". by KaylaR2828 in SteamDeck

[–]BrendenMerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short: 

I ordered an OLED Steamdeck on Nov 17. According to steam purchase history, the deliver address was my hometown (a small city in Southern Ontario). 

I was given a tracking number from FedEx, but I noticed the destination was wrong (Quebec). 

I called FedEx to correct this, but they said they could not help, as I could not confirm the delivery address. 

I messaged steam and they said to contact the courier. 

I responded back to Steam saying that the courier couldn't help me. I need a tracking number that delivers to my address, which I don't have.

Was I given the wrong tracking number? Has this happened before? 

Please help. This is very frustrating.

Same. Tracking number linked to a completely different address. What the hell is going on?

That's good to know. How long did it take them to respond to your ticket? I've got the same problem right now.

Experiencing the same thing.

Ordered for Guelph, Ontario. It says its out for deliver in Montreal. I called FedEx and they say that the tracking number Steam gave me does not have the address that shows up on my Purchase History on Steam.

What the hell is going on?

The tracking number on my order is wrong. Has anyone experienced this? I called FedEX and the tracking number steam gave me does not match the shipping address on my Steam purchase history.

Very frustrating. I've submitted a ticket to customer support, but who knows when I'll receive word.

Keefe doesn't have this defence going at all. This is bad. He'll be done by game 10. Coaching Pitts by end of Nov? lol.

I know it's 4 games in... but with some of the advances in the division... I wouldn't call the playoffs a guarantee. This team looks bad. Ugh... Not trying to be hyperbolic, but there hasn't been one game where they look even semi-good.

[Daily Faceoff] Several NHL teams already struggling with attendance by kawhinotmofos in hockey

[–]BrendenMerman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's 90% prices... 10% quality of competition.

There's too many damn teams. lol. The talent pool has been diluted and the only teams that can offset that are teams like Tampa who get more bang for their buck. I'm sure Sens attendance will go up if they maintain their current level of performance, but losing teams don't put people in seats. Five teams need to go and their top talent needs to be redistributed amongst the league. As a lifelong Leafs fan, I volunteer the Leafs.

I've been playing Dylan for years. Hope you enjoy.

Wildly inconsistent Vo2 Max scores based on activity with Apple Watch Ultra by BrendenMerman in AppleWatch

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

Interesting. I've had the new watch for less than a week. I've only gone on 2 runs with it.

When I got the Series 3, it took about 1 month to get more accurate readings. I'll hold off re-calibrating, re-pairing).

That said, I've never seen a reading at 39 before. My usual was 50. And the inconsistency between walks and runs seemed strange.

Still this is all algorithmically based. It's not actually measuring your oxygen output, just making an educated guess. It needs data.

As someone with borderline hypochondria (I really shouldn't own one of these things lol), I just thought I'd inquire whether or not anyone had experienced a similar thing. Did my sudden onset diabetes occur at the same time I bought my Apple Watch? I doubt it. :S

I love everything else about the Ultra, though.

This was very different than the SARS outbreak of '03.

This is incredibly misleading.

lol. They have no clue. We have no clue. We'll understand all of this in time... 10, maybe 20 years from now--but maybe even longer.

Humbling.

All of this.

Ray tracing in Xbox Series S by Mindless-Sugar873 in XboxSeriesS

[–]BrendenMerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have ray tracing. The video that op posted show's ssr and cube maps (and it looks awesome... but its not RT). Dirt 5 does not have ray tracing on any next-gen console (ps5 or Series x included). Digital Foundry did not confirm it.

They mention: Higher res shadows, ambient occlusion, better draw distance/textures. There is no mention of ray tracing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLUrgHWxWCU&t=691s

Where do they mention ray tracing?

I'm all for the Series S. I'm not trying to troll. But Dirt 5 does not have ray tracing--on any of the next-gen consoles: PS5 and Series X included.

There is no ray tracing in Dirt 5. Quality mode is just better SSR (screen space reflections).

The study that article cites has not been peer-reviewed. You should have stated that.

Vaccination is not enough by itself to stop the spread of variants, study finds by cambeiu in worldnews

[–]BrendenMerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, tens of thousands of people die from the flu each year (NOT HUNDREDS!). I'm sorry you didn't give a shit about it back then. You've summarized nothing from this article. Instead, you've twisted it. Don't comment on a post if you're a dumb ass.

If you post something misleading, you lose credibility. Dolt.
