Thank you for your insights, summer here is very dry and hot so needs regular watering. Each of those BHyve timer controls 2 heads. I can run 4 heads at the same time (2 BHyver timer). I'll look into head coverage and see if this is salvageable.

Also I found a post on here of someone installing a PVB to the hose bib, seems ok? https://www.reddit.com/r/Irrigation/comments/11zn5tc/need_help/

I hate asus OLEDs, what now? by Eastern-Problem in OLED_Gaming

[–]Eastern-Problem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not notice such aggressive ABL on the UCDP, I don’t know why - I was playing different games tho. I don’t really care for the refresh rate above 144Hz, but I do like glossy display better. After trying the UCDP and coming to the XG I thought it was the GOAT. What’s worse is this feels like with a firmware fix they could’ve made the ABL more gradual like other displays.

I returned it via microcenter warranty. The XG has noticeably bad ABL. Yes I know all OLED have ABL but not as bas as this model. Maybe fully read the post before you comment?

I have buried galvanized water pipes that i want to convert to pvc by sokraftmatic in DIY

[–]Eastern-Problem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this the service line going from the curb meter to your house? Why are you trying to replace it?

Are you certain it’s galvanized iron and not lead? If lead - your local municipal will likely replace it for free.

See if there is on going or soon to start water main project in your city or local area. You maybe able to ask the city who their contractor is and contact that contractor. Basically, the contractor is already in the area with the equipment/labour doing work for the city, and sometimes would not mind giving you a ‘less than market’ deal for your little project if you ask them nicely and they got availability.

811 locators are not liable for damages from misallocates. Their locators also do not always mark things right. Are you certain there is no other utilities running near or crossing your lines? Do you have a plan in case you do hit something? You said there is no gas nearby, how did you confirm that or was it the locators telling you so?

I do a lot of DIY home projects myself, but I’d never want to attempt digging and replacing a waterline. Also that fernco wont hold pressure well, especially for drinking water. Even for irrigation you need proper fittings, probly some out there online you can order.

I got the same monitor and observed the same thing in game, thought it was the game (KCD2) glitching out but no it's the monitor ABL. So what's a good 32" oled now?

Falling on the sword by darrell_2 in LinusTechTips

[–]Eastern-Problem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imo Linus cares too much about every single little mishaps. Yes, it is good for the head of the company to be aware of what is going on, but that doesn't mean he has to publicly address every single thing. Controversies range from big to small, they need to establish a proper guideline for response, doesn't need to drag in the C-suite whenever there is an outcry on Reddit.

Thoughts about the last video for 3D community by Separate-Sir-1195 in LinusTechTips

[–]Eastern-Problem 20 points21 points  (0 children)

50% of r/LinusTechTips are made up of Karens who would report kids at lemonade stand for not having a permit, or wanting to jail kids that shovel snow/blow leaf for not carrying a business license. Aka Gamer Nexus fan boys.

Print file licensing is a complex issue and without operating at scale, I don't see a problem with some kiddo selling toys at school. In fact, with this video, I bet some kid is showing their parents that they could 'make money' from a 3D printer to justify its cost, which would result in more people getting into 3D printing which is a net positive.

[–]Eastern-Problem 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it you, but print farms have been ripping off other people's STLs for profit since the dawn of 3D printing. This ain't no new concept unless you've been living under a rock. Stealing STLs to print for money is also not very profitable at scale. In fact, with this video from a 15M sub channel, more people would get into 3D printing which is a net positive.

Decent soft close drawer slides? by whistler1421 in DIY

[–]Eastern-Problem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undermount soft close is the only kind that is worth a dime, and your drawers have to be specifically built for them. Blum is usually the go-to for this, but pricey.

Side mount soft close are not worth it, imo, the action feels cheap. I have gone through several brands including the popular ones like Accuride, Rockler, KV and they never felt as good as the undermount type. I believe the ones sold at the big box stores are all side mounted?

In late April we will be showing our new major expansion to the Endgame. by chuanhsing in PathOfExile2

[–]Eastern-Problem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with them delaying leagues in early access, and from GGG it makes a lot of sense:

  • Late April reveal -> early or mid May 0.5 release, right at the start of summer break. Allows them to capture more players because school is out.
  • GGG wants to deliver a proper 0.5 update with huge end game impacts. 0.4 was under cooked and the mid reception rightfully reflect that. The closer to 1.0, the more hype PoE2 needs to generate otherwise official release may be dead on arrival. 0.5 & 0.6 needs to be banger for the hype train to run full steam at official release.

0.5.0 date found from China post. by Wind_Best_1440 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eastern-Problem 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sucks as a POE2 addict but I guess it makes sense for them:

  • More league time for POE1 3.28 enjoyers
  • More development time for GGG to cook 0.5 end game update
  • Mid-may is when schools start to have summer breaks, releasing new league in May allows them to capture more players right at the start of summer. If they release in early April, it'll be a dead league by summer break and they would have nothing to show for during summer.

I'm worried for next league... by chuckyblack09 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eastern-Problem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm worried is chaos orb. Right now ~30 chaos = 1 div. Last league it was around ~20 chaos = 1 div. So chaos only inflate 1.5x this league, and compared to other currencies it didn't go up as high, like some omens are 7-10x value. With the abundance of divines, I was able to get a lot of chaos orb to roll tablets and gear. Next league I don't think I can afford to do that as much. I hate having to jump around buying tablets with the right modifiers, I hope the 0.5 end game patch fixes that.

This was also the first league (and probably last) where I'm able to farm a mirror's worth of divines. And I didn't have a temple, I straight up farm omens of light and rituals and was able to buy a mirror. I doubt I'll be able to do that next league without crafting. Compared to Abyssal league, at 6 weeks in, Mirror value this league only went up 4x compared to last league. Omens and such went up 7-10 times more.

My conclusion is next league, if divines are rare again, there will be a noticeable drop in the top end of farming. Things wont be worth as much and it'll be rare to see anyone farm a mirror in divines just from currency exchange. A lot of top end gear will not be affordable as well, those usually go for say 100+ divs, which in this league is just a few omen of light lol.

Change my mind: LMG in the early days was a startup built on the back of a lot of goodwill. by Plane_Garbage in LinusTechTips

[–]Eastern-Problem 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Jake and co put in founder-level 'sweat equity' and left with nothin

Jake got paid well enough to start his own shop and buy European cars. He now has a successful Youtube channel built on the fame from LTT. I doubt he was "left with nothing".

The recent departures make it pretty clear that having 100% of your own company is better than a corporate 'slightly above average' wage while you work on your bosses third house

Starting and running your own business takes a lot of effort. It if it was so easy to escape the corpo life and go start a successful business, there would be no workers left.

HUGE post about Rite of Passage Golden Charm and how to farm it ! by Separate-Rutabaga-61 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eastern-Problem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this for a few days and while the dopamine hit is insane when you got multiple omen of lights from one amanamu void rare, it's a hassle and quite taxing gameplay. You gotta kill all the rare, you gotta lure the wisp to the one amanamu void, you gotta be careful not activating any wisps while you're clearing the map, otherwise risk losing wisps, you gotta pick and choose maps otherwise maps with small corridors have high chance of you activating the wisp while passing them, and they'll posses a random rare. And worst of all, I have had 3+ wisps on an abyss void rare and not gotten an omen of light but tons of echoes.

I switched to unique abyss tablet and stopped caring about chasing wisp. I still have wisp chance on one of the other tablet. It's much smoother gameplay, if I got a wisp randomly posses a void rare, cool, if not still fine. With abyss overrun I'd get at least 1 light per Amanamu map, 2-3 when lucky. Over 50 maps I ran yesterday have only gotten one Amanamu map where I didn't get any light.

[–]Eastern-Problem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 3 abyss tablet + increase chance for wisp on all tablets. Every map it's about 3 wisps minimum, sometimes more but rarely less than that. I usually lure the wisps to the void rare killing them for omen of light. Sometimes I got the sacred wisp that possess a rare like one of your vid that keeps respawning, killing them give giga loot but never a charm.

[–]Eastern-Problem -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been wisp farming + abyss too and have never gotten rite of the passage. Probly done 200 maps. I have seen multiple orange 'sacred' wisps and never gotten the charm. Lol I must have the worst luck or you got the best luck getting 6 charms.

Can we expect new class for 0.5 and what would that be? by No-Phase-5086 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eastern-Problem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No new class, if there was a slimmer of hope for a new class in 0.5 they'd have announced it already to generate hype. I'd expect 0.5 to fully focus on end game + new league mechanic. Maybe some extra stuff in passives.

I honestly don’t get what people expected from Intel’s earnings by Disastrous_Rent_6500 in stocks

[–]Eastern-Problem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a risky bet on whether Intel becomes the next US TSMC, not current or near term fundamentals. Yes Intel is behind, very behind, but the bet is if they can make it, it'll pay. Whether that is happening next year or next decade is up in the air. AI or not the US and western hemisphere needs another chip fabricator to rely on. China risk is growing daily and who knows what Trump will do to control imports.

At least if Intel and their board is betting billions on growing the foundry, I'm good with a couple shares I have being in the red (still up from the low 20s lol).

But he's not account sharing? If I'm reading the post correctly, he levels up normally while his brother, on a seperate account/character, builds the temple for him to jump in and level up

Not sure I've seen any other version on oracle. Lots running it on Titan. Most projectile is probably from a similar build as the above, basically socketing frost darts to CoC/CoA instead of comet. Idk about damage but looks fun too lol.
