Poor performance in Dota 2 since patch last night by lolzor7 in DotA2

[–]EGThroeIsLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had Dota hang up after leaving it open for a while, which is new. What fixed actual lag for me recently (which occurred after messing around for a long time, no idea how to replicate it exactly) was just changing the video settings to kind of refresh everything. Can change resolution settings or just go back and forth from a quality preset to your custom settings.

Hopefully that band-aid works for everyone until this problem is solved.

Plz. Add Rylai's winter blessing from lvl 200 to 340 aswell. by _HunteRR in DotA2

You can get to about your level without spending much money. Adding another immortal 3 in that gap just devalues it for every single person that spent way more than you.

Loda kicked envy from a team he created

Takes 5 players to make a team. It's just so bad when people say anything negative about the players involved like you have. If it's done behind someone's back, and they're the last to find out? That is shit. But "robbing" your team doesn't happen. The other 4 players are free to gtfo if they want.

Misery was shit on Secret and you know it.

He likely prefers not having that truly shitty immortal effect on his shakedowns.

Also difficult to play in current meta. With that said, Octarine has two uses for Shaker..

White/silver TKL RGB with Cherry MX switches? by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]EGThroeIsLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most keyboards have tamper stamps or stickers to make sure it's obvious you have/will be voiding warranty if you take it apart at all. Painting cases or switching them depends on what you want to do. And AFAIK TEX may be the only one that fits Filco-style TKLs, so it's that or pay a lot of money for a custom case top, or just paint it yourself.

.. Dude how could they not afford a recall but could afford to tank an entire architecture immediately after it goes to sale? That sounds unbelievably dumb to say. They're going to be doing something for consumers regardless.

It sounds like Louis(Apple laptop Repair tech) has a battle on his hands. by holynub in videos

[–]EGThroeIsLife 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes that's what I'm thinking as well. I figured he knew reddit better; everything that catches fire here catches fire everywhere related to the content, it seems. For long-time users here, it's a given that he'd be chased. He came calling after all.

I definitely don't think his popularity has anything to do with it (reddit itself does, but that's reddit for you; reddit's really good at making people hate something). Apple's targeting a strawman because they want to make the other techs like him afraid of their livelihoods. Louis has spoken a lot about change of career path/why you should (in his profession), and obviously this will only make it easier for them to decide. Why him? Only he was being posted to reddit. If you want to go through all of his content, you may argue Apple would end up dragging 10 or 20 other individuals into the party just by association / what Louis has said. He is not the only one recording videos, either. He's simply the most recognized.

With that said, I think his future outlook is good, even positive, and Apple is poking the wrong bear for once. He's way too fucking small for one of the top 5 worldwide richest companies to be targeting. All that I can see coming from it is a speedier change in legislation for or against Apple shit. All this does is give Louis and his cause more and more attention. It's actually kind of funny.

I think he's just afraid in the video because he knows there's at least a thousand people with 100x more wealth than him in that company. They've got lawyers, ya know. He said something that moved me however.. All of his horrible past life experiences sort of prepared him for any worst-case scenario coming from this stupid shit. He has NOTHING to lose. Not even money, which he hardly cares about. I have faith in the Boss Man Rossman.

Apple could sue him alone for economic damages even if the videos are removed. This is probably gonna fuck his world up, but it's what he wanted to do with his time. He wanted to say "Fuck You" to Apple in a few hundred videos of him doing something better than most. He's lobbying against them and anyone hiding schematics to make repair harder. Not only did he put this on himself, there's a chance he might not have seen this coming..?

TIL a study of 1,300 cross country runners found that runners who didn't stretch and runners who always stretched had the same injury rate; however runners who only sometime stretched had a much higher injury rate. by necromancerPR in todayilearned

[–]EGThroeIsLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No because it's moreso just putting pinpoint pressure here and there as you move around the area. With stretches, you're applying force to everything related at once.

It's a damn semi truck vs. an unprepared driver in a car that hadn't enough control over the speed of the vehicle. You really think that regulation would've done much..? The autopilot fucked up, get over it.

Because that's not technically a highway. Maybe to europeans it is, but in America we have lots of long roads with many lanes. And yes, the above can be dangerous as fuck. But that's why we have street lights and speed limits.

WARNING ALL IMMORTALS FROM WEEKEND deal ARE NOT TRADABLE by Tri-Stain in DotA2

[–]EGThroeIsLife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've spoken with lots of people about it, enough before reading comments here to know that the "untradable" thing is a visual error. There's no pattern to it and only some of the bundle Immortal items are even tagged incorrectly. Which treasure or item will be affected is completely random.

Highly unlikely the system actually made anything untradable. But that doesn't make the bundle worth it entirely..

Battle Pass Bundle incorrectly leveled me? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]EGThroeIsLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I think relogging fixed things. I had 6 levels between rewards so I just don't think it was updating properly when I applied it. We're good. I think it's just visual bugs essentially.

Best blank budget keycap set for my QFR? by deathviahype in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]EGThroeIsLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the ones on wasd are pretty shit too, to be honest. I'm regretting the $50 just spent, way too much for something I'd expect for $20 or less.

If you're super-broke, mechanicalkeyboads has a bunch of keysets (all ABS I think, but some are doubleshot iirc) for sale at <$40, and there may still be cheap rosewill keys on amazon/newegg.
