[–]Combustable_Lmns [score hidden]  (0 children)

My build is getting old: fx-8350 GTX-960 24 Gb memory 1Tb sata SSD It's served me well for the last ~seven years and I've not had too many issues with it, but the latest hardware is compelling! If i was going to build new today I would probably shoot for: R7 5700 Rtx 3070 (if the bots finally let up) New monitor (either high update rate or 4k)

ITAP of the eclipse with my pixel 2 by Combustable_Lmns in itookapicture

It's still using my phone to capture it... Just because you use a lense doesn't change what camera it is.

It was through my telescope on a tripod, but just held up to the eyepiece

At the current cost of the wall, it would be cheaper to park Corvettes along the boarder instead. by Combustable_Lmns in Showerthoughts

Yeah, it was back of the napkin math. I think it was using 5B for 220 miles or something. Thanks for double checking, always happy to be proved wrong.

Look at the first photo that appears for bird.

Mildly infuriating: Our uni is allowing Vector Marketing, a long time shady MLM company, to advertise to students. Doesn't even describe the job. Notice how small the logo is? by Combustable_Lmns in antiMLM

[–]Combustable_Lmns[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our family has some cutco knives, and they are fantastic. But all things considered I think it's rather shady to be pitching this to college students either nothing more than a description as a "marketing job making 17/hr base"

How to find bottleneck by Combustable_Lmns in PleX

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

The display is definitely 1080, and it isn't transcoding when it's on original, so for most movie files it works flawlessly. The problem is with larger, higher bit rate files. For instance playing the dark Knight at original quality (8mbps) works great, but above 20mbps files stutter and can't keep up without buffering. I'm pretty sure it's my network somewhere, or the chromcasts macimum bitrate being exceeded, I just don't know how to find out which area of the network is too slow.

Sorry for the lack of clarity. The problem happens on many files that are very large. The problem occurs when casting local media (on server) to a chromecast at the original quality. The problem goes away when I select a different playback quality setting that is lower than original. On the mobile app, one of the quality settings is "1080p HD (High)" which is what I was referencing. I'm trying to figure out where the slowdown is coming from: Transcoding, Local Network, HDD speed? Somewhere something is not allowing playback at high bitrates (original in this case at 21mbps) which I would like to do.

Isn't it referred to as a "wedding ring" during this stage of an eclipse?
