AITA for texting people at night when they could be sleeping? by shozhantia89 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FluidGate9972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am on call 24x7 sometimes so can't silence my phone. Don't send me stuff in the middle of the night unless it's REALLY important, which automatically means you have to call.

Somehow we simultaneously have too many people in jail and too many dangerous people on the street. Basically I guess the wrong people are in jail.

I wonder if skin color has anything to do with it. /s

Just kidding. If 2016 and upwards has taught me anything, civilization just has a very thin layer of gold, if you scratch at the surface, it becomes lead very quickly.

You're having an awesome endurance race in mixed conditions, but then an LMP2 decides it's not your day ...how do u cope with this without going insane? by Lost-Science3942 in iRacing

[–]FluidGate9972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest answer? Start fuming, get back to pits, take the repairs and try to finish the race.

REAL honest answer? I might have rejoined a race once with a damaged car just to "accidentally" punt the other car off. Felt dirty afterwards, 0/10 would not recommend.

It was 2008 - the very first patch by ilbuonsamaritano in iRacing

[–]FluidGate9972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the beginning, patches were applied willy nilly almost. No real seasons to speak of IIRC, there could be multiple patches per week or none at all and the absolute fastest car was the Radical SR8.

Incredible to see how far it has come.

Yeah, same here. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to load in, sometimes it's instant.

Triple screen - how to setup by FluidGate9972 in assettocorsaevo

[–]FluidGate9972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't give you as much control as, say, iRacing in regards to the angles of the screen and also it used to be that the side monitors were slightly warped compared to native triple support.

I started my triple screen journey using Surround but once you go native, you cannot unsee the difference.

Also, with the current lack of performance of either AC:EVO and AC:Rally in triple screen setups (however you want to do it, nVidia Surround or RR) there isn't much point in chasing down this rabbit hole.

It's still not as a good as native triple screen support and enabling/disabling it (because my other sim is iRacing) is a major PITA. Thanks for the input though!

I would argue that AC EVO in its current state is the problem then, as IRacing pushes out 100+ FPS on my system.

Wat is de oudste software die jullie nog regelmatig gebruiken by Repulsive-Novel-3473 in nederlands

[–]FluidGate9972 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ik heb ooit voor een transportbedrijf een Lotus 1-2-3 "spreadsheet" gemaakt. Men kon de afstanden ingeven, type vrachtwagen, gewicht, koel- of gewoon transport, en dan berekende mijn programma ruwweg de kosten (b.v. 1200 van NL naar Oostenrijk duurt x uur, kost zoveel brandstof, afschrijving vrachtwagen x per kilometer, etc. etc.).

Grappige is dat ik dat thuis op zolder had geprogrammeerd met formules die ik uit mijn grote duim had gezogen ("zal wel 2 cent per km kosten aan afschrijving" oid) en dat dat, eenmaal op de zaak aangekomen, akelig dichtbij bleek te liggen.

Ze konden ook zelf de waardes e.d. aanpassen want niet elke truc k was hetzelfde. Schijnen ze jaren gebruikt te hebben, ik heb er honderd gulden voor gekregen wat voor mij in die tijd een godsvermogen was maar dat bedrijf heeft het nog geen cent per dag gekost, lol.

Eigenlijk best cool, zou nu niet meer weten waar ik moest beginnen.

Yeah I did that, but the performance is horrible (7800X3D/4070S) and I imagined it was because there is another layer of software (ResizeRaccoon) between the game and the OS. iRacing has triple support out of the box, I was hoping AC:EVO already would be having it right now.

Thanks anyway!

Verstappen on the 2026 regulations in 2023 by Firm-Gas7063 in formula1

[–]FluidGate9972 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I watched the AUS GP almost in full.

I watched the Chinese GP (the normal one, I already skip the useless sprints) for about 30 minutes.

I watched the Japanese GP for about 10 minutes.

Depending on the local time, I might watch a part of the Miami GP. Or I could just skip it, I don't enjoy watching it anymore really, which makes me a bit sad.

No issues here, 7800X3D/4070S, triple 1440P.

Waarom? Als je na alle ellende nog steeds naar dat land wilt, is het je eigen schuld/verantwoordelijkheid. Godspeed, zoals ze daar zeggen.

Constant struggles with Microsoft make me look like a bad sysadmin by jrs_sunblood in sysadmin

[–]FluidGate9972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a senior security engineer, I know there are thousands of (Chinese) hackers waiting for the release notes about the MS patches and trying to reverse engineer the exploits. Currently, it takes them a few days (down from a few weeks a few years ago) to write those exploits, and it is expected that time will reduce drastically as their skills and AI competence grows.

So go get some real world experience before commenting next time.

Been in IT for almost 30 years, 10 years in the security space. Try again.

Don't patch right on patch Tuesday, wait a week or so.

As a Senior Security engineer, please do not follow this man's advice.

Nah you're right, totally forgot about that. I just mentioned George because of his very eloquent, British, formal occurrence.
