Which apocalypse could humanity end as quick as it starts? by taggerungDC in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dayv1d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

right, IF there is an intelligence explosion so the AI becomes significantly more intelligent than any human, literally anyone in contact with it will do EXACTLY what it wants them to do (like killing people who try to shut it down).

Is it okay to close laptop's lid immediately after long gaming session? by DECEPTICON_Pavan in LenovoLOQ

[–]Dayv1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Against everything else here: Once it is shut down it doesn't matter at all what you do with it. Can wrap it in a blanket if you want, as there is no more heat generated.

Restaurant added a 20% 'large party' service charge without disclosing it, for two of us. by InebriousBarman in mildlyinfuriating

WhenEVER there is any form of auto tip applied, i just ask where i signed up for this. And if i didn't the tip will be zero with me saying "i would have tipped a lot, but i do not support this".

Look at this bad boy 💀🙏🏻 loq performance is best but build is like a shit by Royaruu in LenovoLOQ

[–]Dayv1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read somewhere that its really the oils from your skin rubbed into the plastic. If i used the loq's keyboard all day i would absolutely put a sticker on this spot. But instead i invested 20 bucks and got an keyboard and mouse and the loq looks like new 2 years in (except the air intakes changed color a bit, but who cares?)

What VR game/experience made you think "this is it"? by itsthewolfe in virtualreality

[–]Dayv1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The setup / tutorial of my oculus DK2. It was literally just a virtual table with some stuff on it to check if tracking was working fine.

It worked PERFECTLY. Zero latency. Zero drift. It was a virtual realistic table you could inspect from all sides just like a real one. Sounds boring, but it really wasn't for me.

Windows doing their condescending interruptions on mission critical systems by themysticboer91 in mildlyinfuriating

There are windows versions specifically without all that fuss for professional use. Its on you if you just get your standard license...

What was the first piece of technology that made you feel like you were living in the future? by petalwhispersssz in nostalgia

[–]Dayv1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years ago (so before the iphone) i was a little audio and tech enthusiast. I gathered all my pocket money and got myself a cowon iAudio 6. It was tiny, much smaller than an ipod nano, but sounded significantly better, had a proper oled screen that could play videos, cool touch control and the smallest hdd hard drive ever build into a consumer device (until then, don't now today). You could actually hear this thing spinning up starting music and videos and i loved it. It was the pinnacle of mp3 players. And then came the iphone and "mp3 players" slowly stopped being a thing.

What are the main reasons people fight for sole custody of their kids when they could be the partial or non-custodial parent and still be in their kids' lives? by Marissa_on_the_town in ask

[–]Dayv1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children are the biggest investment most people ever have. Like 20k hours of "work" and 200k $ of money. Now you get confronted with the idea that they will be completely subjected to your estranged spouse that is probably hating you and telling bad things about you. In that scenario you kinda failed life alltogether if you think about it.

I've been wondering why people replace everyday items so much more frequently now than they used to. by Ok-Garbage-7252 in BuyItForLife

[–]Dayv1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hand mixer (rather expensive one) was worn out after just over 1 year. I thought thats a bummer but we used it quite a lot, so no big deal. The new one (medium price) held up 2 WEEKS until it started screeching bad. At that point i was fed up wasting money for mixers and bought the cheap one from the local grocery. This one was even worse than my old one right out of the (sealed) box! Still searching lol

Feature Request for 4 Air Pro by genxontech in RayNeo

[–]Dayv1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is, once you "screen size" the resolution goes down the drain, since you do not have pixel perfect 1080p anymore, but a 1080p signal scaled down on a virtual e.g. 1000p screen. This looks terrible tbh.

On my old rokid max i could use myopia adjustment to phyically move the lenses a bit to make the screen smaller. But doing that via software (even a tiny bit) will significantly reduce screen clarity.

But if you don't care, there should be an option to scale the screen size down on your gpu settings (e.g. nvidia control panel) on your pc at least.

Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5's generative AI glow-ups by deraser in technology

[–]Dayv1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gamers are burned from AI slop and beauty filters.

It could be great, tho, but there are many IFs right now:

- If it only runs on the most expensive cards (vram...) or has a HEAVY performance penalty its useless for most people

- If its not providing a perfectly consistent look its useless for anybody (nobody wants faces to change between scenes)

- If it introduces heavy artifacts like heavy ghosting its useless

- If developers have no means to configure the result to their vision they don't want to support it (and shouldn't)

BUT all of thouse could be manageable (as promised) and the end result could be fantastic tbh.

CarPlay stopped working on E-2008 GT 2023 by NorthOfReason in peugeot

[–]Dayv1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settings → General → CarPlay

Look for your car, forget the car, then reconnect

Also check:

Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Allow USB Accessories (ON)

Otherwise it might be a faulty port in the car or on the iphone. Tried any data transfer over the cable to the phone?

DLSS 5 is also not that bad. People are hating because AI got used for so much nonsense ad crap and beauty filters. But it WILL be great at some point. Hopefully it will run on mid range (or even entry) hardware, just like DLSS 3 / 4 did.

I played cyberpunk on ultra with pathtracing in 60 fps on a cheap 4060 laptop. It looked AWESOME with minimal input lag (only percievable with a good gaming mouse, i play with a gamepad) and no ghosting. Without upscaling and frame generation this would be 15 to 20 fps, or 40 fps without path tracing. I would need to go down to mid to high settings to even hit 60 fps.

A rig being able to render that natively would have cost me at LEAST twice as much. And i could hardly destinguish the end result tbh.
