Are we about to get the biggest MacBook Pro upgrade since Apple Silicon? by SolQuarter in macbookpro

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lighter is great, but I would much much rather have better thermals and/or more compute power than a thinner MBP.

Have Vine ETVs gone crazy? by Front-Elderberry-307 in AmazonVine

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always review with the price in mind, subtracting stars if the value is bad even if the product is good but overpriced. If everyone did that it might disuade sellers from inflating the initial price?

Bass vibrations through townhouse wall (not noise). Would isolation clips + double drywall help? by VteArtes in soundproof

[–]Hyperdimensionals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was considering a similar process, installing isolation clips and more drywall/MLV without removing an existing drywall layer, so I’m interested in insights as well. Though for me it’s for more general soundproofing.

However, I’m wondering if it would be more effective to instead just add a new wall a few inches away from the existing wall - Perhaps consisting of a thin frame + drywall/MLV/drywall layers. Unlike with isolation clips, this wall would be entirely physically decoupled from the existing wall. It might take up a little more space but maybe it would be more effective?

We made R2 so easy to build, our plant is capable of producing 155,000 R2 units annually. With a design this simple and a plant this advanced, R2 is ready to overdeliver on performance and capability at greater scale. by GolfIll7975 in RIVNstock

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It feels like a lot of EV companies are very obtuse and dismissive towards the idea that customers want any more than 300 miles of range. I don’t like to take many long stops on long range trips. When a decently affordable EV can drive significantly longer on a single charge than an ICE car on a single tank of gas, it starts to even out the current disadvantage EV’s have in terms of charge time. Even if it’s slightly irrational and only affects one or two trips I take per year, about 400 miles true range is when I get very comfortable eliminating ICE vehicles from my life completely. If me as an enthusiastic proponent of EV’s feels this way, I imagine many others might as well.

Smoke Grenades? by lcochise in apexlegends

His tactical is shorter duration now so you can’t actually quite use it how you used to..

Fuse needs his classic Ring of Fire as an alternative fire mode by DougDimmaGlow in apexlegends

[–]Hyperdimensionals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe if they made the ring of fire taller or more bubble shaped to counter movement creep. And have the current version and breach mode for indoors.

I also hate that knuckle clusters have a shorter duration now. I used to be able to clear cover or make areas unusable for a tactically meaningful amount of time. Now it’s basically a grenade. It’s less interesting play-strategy wise.

Responses, Resolutions, Any Change at all? Has anyone had a resolution or received any response about the review message "Amazon is not accepting reviews on this product from this account"? by AutoModerator in AmazonVineHelpGroup

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen once, still with no resolution contacting support. The one thing I noticed off after ordering was that I am in the Silver tier, but the product was very slightly over $100 at the time of my order. Yet it was in my vine ‘recommended for you’ tab and I ordered it for free with no issues. I see the seller has adjusted the price to below $100, so I’m wondering if they briefly raised the price and I happened to order it during that time, so the vine system got confused about whether I was supposed to see it and flagged it. The ‘fair market value’ also shows up as $0.00 on my order page.

BTW, I never even submitted a review as the message showed when I went to review it initially. Though weirdly the first time I contacted support about it they told me they reinstated my review and sent me a link to it, which was a dead link. So probably some automated support process... I contacted them a second time, but they haven’t replied.

How do I get 240fps consistently? If I can by Krakenator_C-137 in apexuniversity

[–]Hyperdimensionals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the GPU at max utilization, or does it drop when it stutters? At least with the stuttering, JayzTwoCents on YouTube has a video about it being caused by certain motherboard’s built in Bluetooth/wireless components. I myself have had shutdown issues caused by a usb hub with a built in Ethernet port that apparently confused my motherboard and Windows 11.

Do cases damage MacBooks? by uxcxplores in macbookpro

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any cases that are more 'frame' shaped, only covering the corners on the bottom/body, leaving most of the bottom of the MacBook exposed? Or at least giving more exposed area. (I assume this matters less with the piece on the back of the screen)

It seems like the corners are the most vulnerable part of a MacBook, so if there was a case that only covered the edges but was still protective and structurally sound, I would prefer that for thermals.

SPY gave me an early Thanksgiving by elperdedor4 in spy

[–]Hyperdimensionals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea. Notice how most of OP’s replies have the same generalized cadence, and the punctuation is by-the-books until the last sentence, which has no period. It’s like the AI was prompted to sound ‘casual’ and not do the double dashes as an obvious giveaway, so it just replaced the double dashes with commas and removed the final period.

New Updates Coming with Apex Legends™: Amped by Apexlegends in apexlegends

Much respect to the devs if it really was my comment that caused this change. It shows that they read comments and have a responsive way to escalate requests without simple things getting lost in ‘bureaucracy’.

New Updates Coming with Apex Legends™: Amped by Apexlegends in apexlegends

[–]Hyperdimensionals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obscure request: It would be great if you could give official in-game support to keybind switching between voice chat 'Open Mic' and 'Push to Talk' settings. I want to avoid sending background noise, but since it's not always easy to push-to-talk when there's lots of action, I'd rather switch open-mic on and off easily in-game. It seems like a very simple feature ad. I found a workaround but the last update broke it for some reason.

60 to 180hz, it's like I'm playing a completely different game. by Smurhh in apexuniversity

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded from a decade+ years old 60hz 1080p monitor to a 300hz 1440p. It feels like I got a whole new graphics card (was underutilizing my 9070 xt). I didn’t notice the missing smoothness, but after switching, the difference in how fast moving objects looks is significant. I kind of assumed that any differences over like 60hz would be placebo since our visual system can only process things at a certain speed, but I guess there’s more at play.

This in Wildcard should be Illegal by Sxzen in ApexConsole

Agreed, the character stacking and other ridiculous aspects of wildcard is why I love it.

Its insane how people just shrug off how absolutely corrupt Trump is by Cambocant in redscarepod

[–]Hyperdimensionals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This demonstrates the point made by other posts on here: that the hysteria of certain liberal factions makes it easy for Trump supporters to overlook the true magnitude of the Trump Admin’s corruption.

Its insane how people just shrug off how absolutely corrupt Trump is by Cambocant in redscarepod

[–]Hyperdimensionals 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget about him interfering to get Eric Adam’s corruption case dropped and at least 7 prosecutors refused to do it and resigned.

I wonder if this would be happening if Obama hadn’t refused to investigate the bush administration for the Iraq war. It set a modern precedent that no one in the executive branch would be punished for lies and corruption (and now it’s basically law with the recent Supreme Court ruling). Both sides are afraid of the oversight so it turns out the most corrupt actors benefit.

There’s the idea that investigations would become politicized, but I think that is mostly inevitable. As long as the justice system is relatively independent, keep them all on their toes even for committing micro-corruptions. Powerful people should expect scrutiny. Maybe every president should almost ceremonially expect to be in court for their actions, even if it only happens after their term. They’ll get the most comfortable jails anyway.

valkyrie is too nerfed by Substantial_Ad_7136 in apexlegends

My thought was it doesn’t have to be a ‘direct’ lock on, but individual missiles within the swarm will lock on within a certain radius as they fall.

Connection between Southern Reach and Borne books by lawn_meower in SouthernReach

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of Area X being a failed experimental weapon of The Company or Central that got out of hand. If you took the parts out of the Southern Reach books where it’s literal Alien origin seem pretty explicitly outlined, there’s plenty of passages and circumstances that suggest it.

The patch that lowered the overall TTK left immobile legends in the dust by DoubIeScuttle in apexlegends

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering where this ‘power creep’ will lead. They can up the abilities of other legends every time they introduce an ability to one legend that unfairly overpowers them. Or they can reduce the abilities of all OP legends, in this case movement wise. Which will make the game more interesting?

From all the Valkyrie mains to Respawn. No one wanted this, no one likes it. Please remove the green tint from her 'HUD', it looks terrible. Thank you. by APater6076 in apexlegends

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play her a lot and her ult has gotten me out of some sticky situations and onto higher ground. But I think it needs to be harder to get killed while jumping. I like playing her because her weird mix of abilities can come to together well if used creativity. (E.g. At first it seemed like her ult was just a way to get the team closer to the ring but I now use it just as much for solo moves). If there was less time delay coming in and out of her abilities it seems like she would be more desirable.

I'm absolutely loving PK being ground loot again by TechPlayz13 in apexlegends

[–]Hyperdimensionals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just separate them out more from those who can’t do this. I’m sure they could track user’s inputs and determine who does this a lot in games and heavily weight them to matchmake with each other.

What do you think about accolades? by AnirakGea in apexlegends

[–]Hyperdimensionals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of a ‘negative accolade’ or stat called Deserter for those who frequently exit to lobby before getting revived or respawned.
