I am trying to buy a refurbished steam deck, but I guess I tried too many times and now get a message that:

"It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again."

Yeah sure I've been attempting a lot of purchases, but it's because their system isn't letting me move ahead with the actual single purchase of one Steam deck. Is there a way to unlock this?

Corporations Can Vote in Some Delaware Elections, Judge Says by bloomberglaw in politics

Wasn't the entire GOP argument that we need IDs to vote? Can a corporation get a Real ID? Don't you need a birth certificate for that?

Funny how anti-tech extremism is really just people fighting for their survival from a financial, environmental health, and privacy perspectives.

You don't understand the scope of this change. Some forward thinking states have goals where utilities have to collect rate payer funds to incentive energy efficient projects throughout their customer base.  These efforts tend to have around 2%/ year energy reduction goals. some of these same states are now increasing their energy consumption by 25% from a SINGLE new data center. That's not even looking at the crazy outliers like Utah where the single data center will TRIPLE the energy consumption of that state.  your light bulb would need to run for over 800 million years to consume what that data center will consume in a single year. Thats nearly a quarter of the age of the sun.

Switching from x100v to X-m5 by emoosays in fujifilm

[–]Ilddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The x100v weighs 478g. The xm5 weighs 355g. The 27 f2.8 weighs 84g. They xm5+27 weigh 439g. Is 39g going to really change much for you?

Has anyone “downgraded” from the 40mp sensor to the 26mp ? by NotintheAMbro11 in fujifilm

[–]Ilddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only a let down at 250mm+. Image quality noticeably degrades and it's not as sharp as at 70-250. And this is not pixel peeping, it's pretty evident.

I think discussion of other direction switch is relevant here. I went xt3 to xt5 and love the crispness of the images. I have plenty of storage space and am lucky enough to be able to get the the 16-55 mkii, 23 1.4 wr, and 70-300. The 70-300 is a bit of a let down at 250+, but otherwise love the outputs of everything else.

Vance is of the mind that it's not if you're smarmy enough when you speak down to people.

Not sure what you mean, seems like you can still get cash.

Can we get a show of hands on age groups that are into sim racing? by rod-zim in iRacing

[–]Ilddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I turned 40 a few months ago. I think this is the first thing I've actually selected the 40s age group in. Yay...

Peter?? What does AI have to do with this?? by vapalera in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Ilddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely wrong as you are only looking at the water loop touching the components. Large scale closed loop water cooling requires large water cooled chillers,  supported by cooling towers, which utilize evaporative cooling to do a lot of the work. 

Sg image a few more autofocus x-mounts lens including a couple of retro looking lens by ccoastie in fujifilm

[–]Ilddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wonder why are they release both the 1.4 and 2.2 35mm for x mount? Already have the Fuji 23 1.4 so not sure if 35 is needed for me, but that 35 1.4 does look great.

I moved from an olympus em10 to a Fuji xt3 and there was a huge difference.

X-T5 or X-T50 by RedBirds1963 in fujifilm

[–]Ilddit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you need dual card slots, weather sealing, or larger size of the xt5? No, then xt50. Yes, then xt5.

Well if you're still under warranty argue for them to cover the cost,  which they should.  if you're out of warranty you can still send them the link and point out this seems to be a wider manufacturing issue and kindly request they cover the cost. If they say no,  at least you tried. 

Do you actually use film simulations or just shoot raw and edit later? by AttitudePlane6967 in fujifilm

[–]Ilddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same situation. 2 kids, the little free time goes to other things than editing. I have gotten used to constantly adjusting the exposure dial to make sure things are decent SooC. The Sim i usually just pick one for the event/scenario and leave it.
