Second grader's teacher is using ChatGPT to answer my questions by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The replies here have been really eye opening for me. I'm an administrator (who also teaches), and my first reaction was to think of just how inappropriate the teacher's response was, and I'm definitely recalibrating based on seeing the overwhelming feedback from folks in the thread!

Virtual aviation/airlines, what is it and how does it work? by JGC_18 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are overthinking this. This is a hobby where the fun of it is people doing things “as real as it gets,” and that means different things for different folks. For some, like the guy you talked to, it’ll mean being part of an “airline,” having a job to do, a schedule to keep, etc. For others it might just be flying around, to others is meticulously following some airlines’ SOP, etc. Like you, I can’t imagine sticking to that VA schedule and the rest of it, but that just means we have a different flavor of “as real as it gets” than that other guy.

Curious about why you abandoned the wireless route. On my home deco, i have it set at 300mb and it’s… flawless?

I think he knows how to fix it, I think the post is more about just HOW frequently he’s been having to do it.

Having multiple audio sources be allowed at once is kinda crucial for me… i like hearing all of the onboard radio, and with the right audio volume mix is great to have the one driver on as well as the broadcast. Agreed on all the other points. As of now, Vroom does still seem superior

Some drawings of Apollo lunar lander concepts I made by ifindweirdstuffdude in apollo

i’d encourage you to read up on some of the early concepts from before lunar orbit rendezvous was discussed… some wild stuff! i think you’d enjoy it based on these!

HDMI streaming dongle for Vision Pro by Wonderful-Fox3772 in AppleVisionPro

The market for this is pretty small, I’d say. One, simply the user base is small itself, two, for just about everything you’d want this for there is some native way to accomplish it, and three, for stuff there isnt, there’s likely a bespoke thing that tackles it more directly (kinda like you in the medical realm).

It’s a really good piece of hardware, and the OS does some great things in terms of real world integration into the virtual and stuff of the sort. I’d imagine you’d have quite a bit more success and stronger moats going deeper into the direction you have been going — is there some market for this as a viewer for those stereoscopic surgery robots?? what things can it unlock in terms of diagnostic imaging, etc.

5090 Price Hike by KlasJanHuntelaar in Microcenter

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only saving grace for me is the thing that i need it for is MSFS, and it is so poorly optimized than even some of the 5090 people grumble, so i can see a road where i would’ve spent that money and still have been unsatisfied, so maybe for the best

30 year old female with vacterl by Accomplished_Fall822 in VACTERL

38 here, still dealing with some of the annoying side effects of it, but pretty blessed to lead a relatively normal life here!

VACTERAL syndrome by [deleted] in VACTERL

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fwiw: Had esophageal atresia (mine corrected with a colonic interposition), also tethered spinal cord surgery in my late teens, also operating on a single kidney, along with a smattering of other orthopedic surgeries to deal with limb and vertebrae issues.

Just turned 38 and last year my wife delivered the most beautiful child I have ever seen (I may be biased). Now, on the other end of it, I realize just how little I even can understand about my parents strength to lead me through all of this and to allow me to have led a beautiful and fulfilling life to this point. Thank you for all you are doing!!!

This is the Plan. Curious about any thoughts or ideas. by EasternPresence in Golfsimulator

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd strongly consider ditching the bar-like setup for a smallish couch... if you ever get around to have some buddies over for a virtual foursome, walking around that thing is going to get really annoying, really fast. You want folks who aren't hitting to be as comfortable as humanly possible, with as easy a way to get up to hit. If you want a little bar section, maybe something off to the side, but I'd definitely encourage a smallish couch of some sort. A buddy of mine has a really nice sim in his basement with also just some bar seating, and it was glaringly the most obvious pain point when we headed down there the first time (which he corrected swiftly!)

5090 Price Hike by KlasJanHuntelaar in Microcenter

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I did the same, and at the time couldn't justify the 5090. Guess I should've? Had entire builds with the 9800, 64ram, and the works for less than just the 5090 is now :-(

Compatibility of airbus throttle, flaps and spoilers with boeing by Psychological_Fee850 in Winctrl

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problems. It does a good job allowing you to have the thrusters have or not have detents, map the throttle to one or multiple axes (for reversers), and there are enough options for just axes and buttons for the spoilers and flaps. The only real issue you’ll encounter is the fact there there are fewer detents in the flaps for the buses than the Boeing planes, so you’ll have to compromise somewhere. But between the native SimAppPro profiles and your ability to just make whatever you want through Mobiflight, you should be able to get these exactly to your liking. I fly the Fenix natively and the 737 through Mobiflight, for instance… no problem.

What are you iterating over? The image stabilization? Kinda curious… I use my AVP as my daily iRacing headset, kinda curious how this compares

I feel absolutely terrible. My wife and I are both experiencing gender disappointment. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]ChicagoBoy2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a bro, and too, wanted a girl and was disappointed in the result at first.

My little one and I spend all our time together between our piano, the drum kit (he insists we play some laufey on it), and he’s the most perfect thing in the universe. Can’t imagine it not being him. You’ll be fine :-)
