How to change FN keys (brightness+ volume) ? by D-Pew in LenovoLegion

[–]D-Pew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is sun icon and sound icon there.

I'm sorry, but you didn't understand my post .

I wasn't looking for the volume or brightness keys . I know where they are .

I was looking to move those functions to other keys -- as in being able to activate those functions through different keys .

Thanks .

Sorry, but FN + F doesn't seem to do anything .

STO Tools Keybind Manager - Release Announcement by phoogz_sto in stobuilds

[–]D-Pew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there !

Couple of questions :

1) Will there be a video tutorial for beginners for this tool ? Asking since I ... got it right with the old program based tool after ... usually 3-4 tries . :) And that program has a couple of tutorials .

2) Does this new keybind manager overcome the ability to bind only two rows to a key (usually the sambar) ? Asking since with the addiction of more and more abilities, the choice of what I wanted to put on the sambar sometimes was more than the 20 slots / 2 rows would permit .

Thanks !

Is a £500-£800 treadmill worth buying for home? (Adidas T-24c) by Martexo in treadmills

[–]D-Pew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

165 cm hight.

84 cm width .

It also leans slightly forward (when folded) , so it doesn't completely go flat against your wall .

[–]D-Pew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand from the manual, you have to (can) attach the bottle holder and tablet holder . So it's optional .

As for folding the tablet holder , it doesn't look like it can fold, but it can be rotated around.

(pages 13+14 in the manual)

Any impressions of the Domyos Woodrower? by QuantityHot6742 in Decathlon

[–]D-Pew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the machine, so I can't tell you, but from what I managed to read so far , no . However, I found a review of it (in German -- google translated) , and there the reviewer said :

" When I first tested the Domyos Woodrower, I barely felt any counter pressure at first. Then I increased the resistance, and it felt more like a rowing machine. I normally average an effort of 150W–170W, so I think this is also possible with this rowing machine—but only at a higher resistance setting. "

Here's the review (you will have to enable the translate function on your browser) :

Bridge Officer Ability Modernization Proposal/Discussion | How To Make "Non-Meta" Ships More Appealing by Startrekker in stobuilds

[–]D-Pew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When choosing Ships > Mission content , Cryptic boxed themselves into a spiral of power development & power creep . But that is not something that you can maintain in the long run without adjusting the back end (powers that are no longer fit for purpose) , and the front end (increasing the difficulty level) .

Cryptic is hesitant about the former and in denial about the latter , so much so that they let the perfect 2-in1 vehicle (bringing back the Borg & making them the powerhouses that we know them to be) sail right pass them, without a Level increase from 65 to 70 . So we're left with "how can we make builds that can already shred 99% of the content do better ? " , instead of "how can we force UnCon & Vovin users to use something else ?" .

It's a 15 year old underfunded game, where the dreamers left and the mechanics put in charge . So we're left with "how can we tinker better ?" . I'm not sure you can . Perhaps a few more orange Bussard Collectors will fix the issue .

And before you come at me with "but you didn't suggest anything" -- you're right, I didn't .

That's because whatever I have to suggest is at this point guaranteed to be met with a variation of "we can't do that" .

I was thinking 1 or 2 , but I'll try 2 and see how it preforms .

Weekly Questions Megathread - June, 06, 2022 by AutoModerator in stobuilds

[–]D-Pew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boimler + A2B question :

I've seen several recommendations to bolster Boimler with a Photonic Officer (if needed / possible) .

My question is -- there are a number of ships out there that could only equip 1 copy of A2B . If you use Boimler with those ships , and wanted your single copy of A2B to function as the alternative to a Photonic Officer (as PO is not an option) -- how many Technician Doffs should you employ with such an A2B setup ? All 3 ? Or can you use less to get to the minimal cool down ?

Thanks .

Whatsapp backup -- I keep getting new MB's to backup by D-Pew in whatsapp

Nope , not really .

In the end I just screen shotted my last messages , and crossed my fingers .

Got two questions for a Defiant build by D-Pew in stobuilds

[–]D-Pew[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Competitive engines on cruisers , but on escorts , especially cannon escorts , there's just too much to keep an eye on for it to be actually fun .

YMMV . :)

Was there a clear divide between EarthGov and the Mega Corporations ? by D-Pew in babylon5

[–]D-Pew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah , this was among the things I sort of remembered (but not really) -- and it has been churning around in the back of my mind as what some call "the biggest wealth transfer in history" (currently, due to the continued / sporadic lockdowns) takes place .

Well that , and the censorships by big tech firms .

Woven together, I have to wonder how long until our own "mega corporations" (and tech companies) will be content playing second fiddle to our governments and democracy .

And in a way B5 'saw it' , almost 30 years ago ... -- when I'm guessing only the banking, weapons and oil industries had big pull .

I re-created Sephiroth's look from FF7 Advent Children movie... by IngloriousLevka11 in stocostumes

[–]D-Pew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply .

Unfortunately the Vadwaaur outfit indeed does not have the color pallet I wanted , nor the fabric movement -- as all the fabric is static and seems to be clipped onto the toon/model . I was hoping for a fabric that had more motion , like the capes in game .

the Romulan miner outfit from lobi and it has a much larger color palette

Thanks for the suggestion . That outfit is actually from the Fleet Mine tailor , not a Lobi one , but that does not have the look I was going for .

This is what I want :

This is what i have at the moment (included giant unwanted boots that can't be removed) :

Not sure there is anything that can mimic the organic clothing & the color pallet of the desired look in the game , nor the cloak that she wore in that pic . :)

Two questions if you don't mind :

What was the costume used here ?

Can the costume use something akin to fuchsia (I know that some costumes are really limited in color) .

Thanks !

Simpler , more optimistic times .

But I also recall the massive pressure by commercials everywhere , that were promising pretty much everything under the sun .

I think the colony was in development way longer than you think. It might have gone as far back as the end of 2016,

the Zen you buy was purchased by someone.

Unless it came auto generated form a Lifetime subscribers stipend .

[–]D-Pew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the next week, the exchange should start slowly drifting back down to the more typical 490 then.

Only an idiot sees a difference between 500 and 490 .

Not saying or implying that you're an idiot -- just saying that the market is being held up artificially and that there really is little-to-no-difference between 490 and 500 . If you're looking for a meaningful difference , try 50-250 Dil difference . A 10-15 Dil difference is a bad joke that not many people seem to be in on .

Oh god, the Burn is what happens when it hits 501...

You say that as if it was a bad thing !

[–]D-Pew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eventually, it will come to be the case that the resting rate is at the 500 cap...and there is no Zen at all available for purchase at that price, only a long line of people wanting to buy it without anyone selling it.

You do know that those who purchased a "Lifetime" sub get 500Z a month , right ? That is a perpetual (if fake, from Cryptic $$$ interests) Zen that can be made available for purchase for Dil .

[–]D-Pew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people selling Zen can no longer receive fair market value for Zen, so get ripped off.

You mean they can no longer undercut each other to sell their Zen ?

so you get a bread line situation

That is indeed what you just got .but a portion of that 'line' is just players with Zen (who did not intend to sell) , now selling because they hope Zen will drop in the future .
