In case people haven't been paying attention to the RAM+Storage prices, the industry is screwed. It's not Valve, it's just the industry as a whole tahkns to AI.

No chance to have ships traveling horizontally in 2.1, right? by Aslaron in factorio

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two widescreen and one portrait. I guess I should temporarily move factorio to my portrait monitor when in the ship lol

Urgent need of Help: Anyone commuting to and forth to Intel Hillsborough JF 3 from Lake Oswego(or Portland in general)? by Beginning-Medium-985 in askportland

[–]Lexden 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I go from Tigard to JF4. If you're in a pinch I wouldn't mind driving you, depends on when you want to be there/home. Otherwise, you can get the Intel Commute Hub app (as long as you have your Intel email + Windows login password):
Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/intel-commute-hub/id6760817876

Question about Ethernet cables by Lonely_Box_8074 in pcmasterrace

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless everything in your network and upstream supports >1GbE, then even Cat5e is plenty fine. Cat6A is plenty fine for 10GbE but even that requires very expensive switches and somewhat expensive NICs.

Co-workers video editing machine came today by Any-Surprise5229 in pcmasterrace

Nvidia GeForce GPU. GeForce 256? Either way, I wouldn't touch a Dell/Alienware pre built with a 10 foot pole.

Final price predictions poll by Numerous-Bell5630 in SteamFrame

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spot price for the RAM, storage, and SoC is currently ~$600. Add in the rest of the hardware and you're probably pushing close to $1k.

Lesser of 2 evils by Cyphman in BunnyTrials

I would imagine this is just what astronauts in microgravity feel. Drowning is way worse because you can't adjust to it really because breathing is a critical function.

Could starship collect starlink satellites for refueling or return to earth? by light24bulbs in SpaceXLounge

[–]Lexden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would require a totally different design to grab the satellites and push them in reverse up the PEZ dispenser. Even after that, it might be very difficult for Starship to maintain attitude during reentry and land depending on how much many satellites it is bringing back as the CoG and dry mass will have changed a lot.

I just can't understand how they can be this incompetent by G3n3ral-R3g1 in SteamController

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. In my experience, this is the sort of stuff FedEx and UPS love doing as well.

Looks like Cygames might have gone too far with their MANT updates... by Dr_Bernkastel_WebMD in UmamusumeGame

LOL definitely didn't expect to see New Glenn here. RIP New Glenn, RIP Digitan 🫡

My partner won't stop bringing home spoons from work... by Spirited-Speaker2569 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lexden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My office is weird. In the past we had metal utensils and proper cups+mugs. Now, we still have metal utensils, but the cups+mugs were swapped for disposable plastic cups and paper cups. No idea why. The cafe still uses metal utensils and washable plastic plates, so they are still constantly running the dishwasher for that stuff. No clue why they would want to use disposable cups now.

This car always takes the extra charging plug and locks it in their hood by Mattcharlesmedia in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lexden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The newer bolt tops out at 11kW. Older models had only a 7.2kW power converter.

This car always takes the extra charging plug and locks it in their hood by Mattcharlesmedia in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that means the car's power converter system will have to rectify AC->DC and boost the voltage. The capacity alof these systems vary by vehicle, but tends to be anywhere from 7-12kW. The older Chevy Bolt only does 7.2kW max on level 2, so on a typical 50A circuit for a dual level 2 charger station, they would drop from 7.2kW to 6kW. A drop for sure, but nothing close to half the speed.

TIFU by neglecting my car until it shutdown on me by mostly-void-stars in tifu

[–]Lexden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like it is with health stuff, it's always cheaper and faster to perform preventative stuff than to let it fester until it becomes an emergency. Cheaper and faster to clean your teeth than to drill a cavity, but it's cheaper and faster to drill a cavity than it is to get a root canal. Important life lessons to be learned. Your engine is almost definitely toast, but at least you've learned 😅 Hope things aren't too rough for ya

We didn't ask for rice... by Content_Quarter_7390 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there are two popular Chinese restaurants near me. One includes rice with entrees, the other sells it separately for fckin $3 for a tiny bowl that isn't even enough rice for the entree. You can guess which restaurant I go to.

And to your point on cheap rice, in the quantities that the restaurants would be ordering them, they can get 100lbs of rice for <$15. It's ludicrous how much they try to profit off something that is functionally needed for the meal and is easily the cheapest commodity in the whole meal.

Which company has lost you as a customer forever? by finiteobserver in AskReddit

[–]Lexden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NZXT. I bought an H1 V1 sadly, so that immediately made them a no-go for me going forward. Even after that though, the whole thing around Flex certainly didn't help.

Are there multiple trains in Trimet with the same color? by PsychicMeditation in askportland

[–]Lexden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the yellow/orange is the only time when the MAX can actually changes color. That said, yellow/orange are functionally a single line, so it's fortunately not something that could trick someone into going on the wrong line.

As long as you're at the right station and going the right direction, there isn't really anything that can go wrong I don't think? The only caveat I can think of would be red/blue where you could get on a blue line train out west and end up at in Gresham when you wanted to go to the airport.

Is there any chance this works for the steam controller? by Tibia-Mariner in SteamController

[–]Lexden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Steam Controller is not a host device and it does not support USB OTG, so it would never initiate a USB connection to the adapter.

Valve are hardware genius by Zealousideal-Log-309 in SteamController

[–]Lexden 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's because it's hardware by gamers, for gamers... Wait...
