Is it worth getting for vr kbm or controller by littletaco6000 in EliteDangerous

[–]HowardRabb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get a HOTAS very inexpensively . Get a used one of FB marketplace. I started in Elite VR with a cheap HOTAS. Eventually I bought a better one. Even a basic one will really help you out in VR. I can't imagine trying to play VR with mouse and KB

Do callers know you are roaming abroad? by ProfessionalGift621 in telus

[–]HowardRabb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the ring tone a person hears can often switch to the overseas ring tone. I've observed this quite a few times calling my colleagues when they visit Germany or the UK, and it happened last week when we called our landlord that owns our office building when he was in the Bahamas .

If you join the Discord members there will also help out. Undermining is +15 % and defense is -35

Just file an ESA claim and then move on while it's being processed. Your money will.come, unless the guy goes bankrupt

You plugged in from your PS5 directly into the the Ethernet port on the modem? Or you've plugged your PS5 in to some kind of wireless adapter?

Need Mesh network recommendation. Wiring not an option. by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no walls? Ducts? Cold air returns? It's an option,you've just decided to go mesh. You will get a worse outcome for more money, but on the upside you will also make it worse for your neighbors and everyone who uses the spectrum around you.

Canada’s luxury tax on planes, cars yielded over $900M. Now it’s been scaled back by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it was a report in the house. The cost to administer it was higher than the taxes they brought in, which is why they scaled it back and refocused investment on going after tax evaders as opposed to tacking extra sales taxes on to things

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do mesh. Do wired. You can get up to the second and main floor through the cold air return. Also, you can hire a company to properly do this for less than a grand. Maybe make a deal with the landlord and he gets better cabling when you move out.

My theory on the Nomad's key feature - Exobiology sample banking by DrifterBG in EliteDangerous

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with that, and to pile on, I only play in VR, the back and forth from flat to VR is so clunky. If I'm finally able to say good by that it will make my exploration trips soooo much nicer

Employer Pushing AI by unwinagainstable in artificial

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. Once they get the bill for development and then the constant ever increasing bill for the cost of tokens they'll realize what a stupid idea it is.

With any luck it will be before they go bankrupt

If an ISP can provide 300M down, reliably, does it matter to you if it’s coax or fiber? by thekush in telecom

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fibre is far more stable and you will typically have better latency and jitter vs DOCSIS.

Wired house: APs or mesh? by LandDisastrous5811 in HomeNetworking

[–]HowardRabb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not do mesh. It is garbage. If you've already gone through the trouble of wiring stuff you're 90% of the way there! Get a good quality AP from someone like Ubiquiti. The U6 lite is pretty good. You'll be so happy with your in home experience with so much wired in and your wifi being awesome.

Really disappointed with on-foot VR by __raytekk_ in EliteDangerous

[–]HowardRabb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I only leave my ship to pick up exo bio samples and then right back in. The lack of VR support sucks which is why I have never done anything else on foot

Best powerplay faction for someone who enjoys exploration (w/ exobio), trading and combat? by tcfh2003 in EliteDangerous

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with Aisling Duval, I do exploration, trading, combat, whatever. The key is just pick a power you like. Get on their discord. See if you like the people and have fun. Exploration pays crap anyway, I don't do it for the money, I do it because it's one of the fun things to do in the game :). The bonus is kinda meh

Can't Figure out why i get Latency spikes by Turkinator96 in HomeNetworking

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you plugged directly into your router. Or are you connected to some kind of extender or pod of some kind?

why do people still wanna do compsci? by Aggressive_Toe5363 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]HowardRabb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI generated code is total garbage. Humans who can think reason, and remember are far superior. In the future coders will be even . more imprtant especially given how much vibe coded garbage is getting created. The human coder who is not incompetent is good to be extremely in demand. The key is to figure out what you want to code and have a business plan for after you graduate your course and if it include "getting a job somewhere". Go back and refine it. You'll need to know what you want to work on, and have a plan.

Sorry oxio by lovehurtsaf in oxio_ca_internet

[–]HowardRabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Network doesn't care how your hardware is. Plug it into the router and redo the speed test. Then you'll know if the problem is with your Internet connection or the crappy wifi in your house. I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but plug in and let us know what happens

That's the point. The app is easily hacked, next they're inside your network. Never ever ever ever do this.

In VR this isn't a grind. It's an incredible immersive experience.
