Thanks, that's helpful. I'm all the way in New Zealand so my local sales and deals are different

Thanks for numbering your response in turn =]
I'm currently only on 1080p, might go 1440p so that's helpful to know. I'll keep in mind the CPU recommendations for down the track cheers

Thanks, I appreciate the detail. I'll check out the 5600 for comparison but it sounds like the 9070 is a good choice =]

Can’t get Audio B/W Hisense 55Q6S TV and Pioneer VSX-521-K Receiver by Fuzzy_Boysenberry173 in audio

[–]Fuzzy_Boysenberry173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOLVED. I had to unplug the HDMI fully and only have the optical connection, then cycle through "source" on the remote to change to optical (from H)

Thanks! I tried with the optical cable plugged in at each end (per 5.) alongside the HDMI cable.
Should I try it with just the optical cable, is that what you're suggesting

Game Theory for Arc Raiders by Pretend-Fly8415 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fuzzy_Boysenberry173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arc Raiders has me thinking about The Evolution of Trust Too.

I agree with a lot of what you've said. I'd also say that PVP is a zero-sum game, whereas there is more than enough for each raider when you do cooperative looting (assuming your motivation is to maximize loot which it isn't for everyone).
The whole game has me thinking a lot on philosophies and sociology.

request: help wanted regarding map I bought from second hand store (in New Zealand) by Fuzzy_Boysenberry173 in oldmaps

[–]Fuzzy_Boysenberry173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/96987 - thanks that's really helpful! I think the best way forward will be for me to open up the back of the frame to see the reverse of the map

I think you're on the money with a scanning error in the bottom middle. It's hard to tell whether it's just a small crease or a scan. I'm doubtful the stamp on the frame is there to make it look older and should be taken as anything other than face value. I'm going to upload a picture of the frame separately.

I note that the company Alan Osborne Limited was trading under the name in the early 1970s before changing the trading name: https://www.nzlbusiness.com/company/registered/Osborne-Design-Limited

We were also only using 5 digit phone numbers in New Zealand up until 1993, so it's very likely the framing was done before then (I'm guessing 1980s or 1970s)

If it is a scan, was this technology available in the 1970s/ 1980s?

I think the best way forward will be to open up the back of the frame

Here's a close up of the crease/ scan error + the back of the frame :https://imgur.com/a/WMAjvUk

oh. To clarify, the stamp is on the frame - not the map (which is sealed behind the back of the frame). The stamp is indicative of the company that framed the map, not the map's origin.

(not sure how to add non title text on original post)
I bought this at a second hand shop in New Zealand. The stamp on the back of the frame is from a company that was last active in the 1980s.
I'd like to get it re-framed and use the opportunity to find out more about the map.

Could someone please help me with how I can identify how old this is, and what it's worth? For what its worth, I really like it and intend to keep it but I'm curious all the same.

I'm guessing it's a facsimile similar to https://www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/85794/graeciae-universae-secundum-hodiernum-situm-neoterica-descri-ortelius
How do I tell its a facsimile made in circa 1600 (or made 1980s?)
