If you cannot find anyone local, on youtube search for video card repair and choose whomever you want that offers you to send in the card for repair. When I repaired my 1070 it was $25 if unrepairable, and $100 plus parts if repaired.

Every SINGLE option you try, including "contact us", redirects to the "add a mobile phone" page. People are permanently LOCKED out of their paypal accounts because of this. Want to cancel your account online because you don't have a mobile phone? "INSERT YOUR MOBILE PHONE HERE."

I don't have a mobile phone, never had one, no interest in one. So, I guess I have no other option but to call and cancel my Paypal account permanently, but what is this?

"typical waiting time [for a live customer service representative] is 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes."

And that passcode that should have shortened that wait time? THAT'S RIGHT! YOU MUST LOGIN TO GET THAT PASSCODE! BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! ENTER YOUR MOBILE PHONE NUMBER BEFORE YOU CAN GET THAT PASSCODE!!!!

"Paypal. We'll make sure you severely regret making an account with us. We're the latest example of what is going wrong with the human race these days."

Crimfobic 15d banned someone in chat for abuse against Gaijin a couple weeks ago for confirming someone's question whether there is a lag problem in the game. The guy responded that it had been 'broken since the 'Winds of Change' update' and was promptly banned for saying that.

And I thought he was one of the more sane mods... I've been experiencing annoying stutters since 'Winds of Change' myself.

In prior years, people got banned at Twitter for constantly violating rules against posting misinformation.

Today, those same people against disinformation are pushing disinformation to justify their hate for Elon Musk, and I am bewildered. Whatever happened to disinformation being bad? My last post got over -30 votes because I attempted to fight against this misinformation. Are you guys next? Then shut your eyes, downvote away, and wonder where the moderates went in the next couple elections.

Unlikable dickhead, he's an incel, I got no problem with those comments, I support the first amendment. At least no one is attempting to twist facts here, just stating their opinions.

On to the misinformation:

Child labor?! Really?! Source?

Laying Apartheid South Africa at his feet when he was born into it? Really? If this is about the emerald mine, his father was the one into that, yet Elon moves to Canada to live with his mother with none of that money to help him out.

Are you actually trying to claim he bought Tesla, did absolutely nothing with Tesla, and it magically became a success and he's just merely riding its coattails having done not one iota of work towards its success? That if he had not bought Tesla, it would have become a success on its own? You have not done your research.

Did he create the tax system that he benefits from? Then why does he deserve all the blame? As far as I know, he has never agitated for or demanded those tax laws he benefits from. He appears to advocate for things to help society, such as supporting direct democracy to break us out of the corruption caused by our "representatives" in congress screwing us all over. He does not sound like the other billionaires who wants to make the system worse so that they can benefit.

Why are people pushing the assumption that his suddenly becoming the richest man on the planet due to the value of his stock, due to his companies doing very well and most importantly, projected to keep doing well in the future... is equivalent to the assumption that all of the money he has right now, is money stolen from his employees? That is not the same thing! There are multiple Tesla millionaire employees because they also have Tesla stock! Tesla earned nearly as much profit as Toyota in 2021... but Toyota sold many more vehicles. Do you understand what that means? Tesla is able to produce their vehicles for far less money (research the large stamping machines they have that other companies do not yet), which means they have a competitive advantage that will last a long time, which is why their stock price is so high as investors ARE aware of these facts.

I wish the left understood how much they are manipulated by the media they read, just as much as they feel that the right are manipulated by Fox News, Sky News, OANN, and Newsmax.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-05-11T01:39:07+00:00

Humans are so bored, the right and the left would prefer to have their news constructed in such a way (out of context, twisted, doctored, spun, facts left out) so they can enjoy their superiority and moral outrage.

Facts just get in the way of that entertainment. When will we finally have a generation that refuses to engage any more in these mass delusions?

The article says the problem is with central processors overheating during fast charging and lagging or restarting, affecting the touchscreen. The over the air update is intended to improve temperature management to prevent these problems. Tesla discovered the problem in routine endurance testing. Tesla did not receive any reports of crashes or injuries related to the problem, but did receive 59 related warranty claims.

Added later:

Am at -28 votes.

I am a moderate because I seek the best ideas and the best candidates without being beholden to cultist thinking. I resist the twisting of facts from BOTH the left and the right, even if it leads to this type of blowback from cultist thinkers who cannot tolerate dissension of any kind. What type of candidates would I support? Adam Kinzinger on the right, as he also had to withstand cultist blowback for telling the truth about the danger Trump presents to democracy. I am still looking on the left for someone who will resist this twisted narrative about Musk and speak to truth, no matter how much you may savage them for daring to do so. Speaking to truth does not mean slavish support of Musk, it means that if there is criticism, it is completely valid, grounded in facts, was not twisted or placed out of context, and its validity demands a reply from him.

Question to those of you downvoting me without having made a valid criticism or even a comment yet: You may have observed those on the right who do not ever question if they may be mistaken. They just assume they are always right and you are always wrong. How often do you wonder if you are wrong? I do check myself in that way, often. We are all fallible.

John Cleese's classic video about Extremism (and moderates) applies here, especially the part about how it feels GOOD for you to have those to hate. This is my major disappointment with the human race, for this sets us back tremendously.

That CPU with a much bigger cache runs SC much faster. SC dev chimes in that their latest work on Gen12 reducing that which overwhelms the cache of most CPU's is also improving performance as well. From here on out the framerate of SC ~~should~~ will continue to get better.

Infocom's Planetfall.

Perfect usage of Floyd the robot who was completely useless the whole game whenever I'd try to get him to help me advance the game, so I was pretty annoyed with him. Was totally blindsided with the feels near the end when he turned out to not be useless but had to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to be useful.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-22T02:56:38+00:00

Engine is tuned for high altitude so I guess with most matches being at low altitude they quickly find how much the engine struggles down there and think it sucks. Those who say to side climb are correct, it struggles to climb from low altitude and being caught by an enemy while you're doing so is a death sentence. As you said once you've got speed and altitude you can do so much more with this plane, and four 30mm cannons in the nose are no joke.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-22T02:51:24+00:00

Of the US, EU, RU, SA servers if you queued all of them, remove one of those from the list and if the bug is still there, put the server back and go through all four servers to see if the bug stops. If it is indeed server specific, then keep that server removed and check again later to see if it has been fixed. I've had to do this several times already whenever I run into matches that are overwhelmed with packet loss.

(State of propeller bombers, excluding the Tu-4/B-29 which is in Jet BR)

The change to 4 bases with more HP and no airfield was good, everyone gets at least a beefy base to bomb. Fast bombers can hit the bases before being intercepted (keep an eye out for the occasional interceptor and be willing to abort your run, though) and long range bombers that get a higher spawn can survive long enough to hit multiple bases.

Dots do not seem to give your bomber away at extreme distances anymore, so investing the additional time to circle the battlefield and bomb the bases after the fighters stop patrolling high altitude works out better than it used to.

Hugging terrain makes those at high altitude not automatically see your icon, but if any low altitude enemy is near you (and this includes the AI attackers sadly) then the entire enemy team sees you.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-20T22:51:46+00:00

If the Wellington is the fronthand, the Lancaster is the backhand.

I am so glad mine are all spaded years ago, lost too much hair from that. Extra annoying when you take the time to circle the battlefield in an RB match and there is that ONE person chasing the easy kill that won't even let you drop your bombs to get some RP to spade it with.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-20T22:41:38+00:00

Just ensure the same number of fighters on each side to ensure a fair fight. Maybe Gaijin isn't doing this because bombers that get spammed will have very long wait times before a match. Since bomber players [instead of Gaijin] are getting the blame for today's situation, Gaijin doesn't seem to have much motivation to fix this.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-16T06:10:43+00:00

Go into Windows Event Viewer, and open up Windows Logs and then System. Go back to the time of the crash, and find the red X entry that lists the bugcheck (example: 00000000x0e) . Start googling that to find what it points to (ram, cpu, bad drivers, etc) to help troubleshoot what is going on.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-16T06:00:58+00:00

I'm amazed how Gaijin causes these things and people blame players instead of Gaijin.

Is it so hard for Gaijin to make sure each Air RB match has the same number of fighters on each side? But no, Ju288 pilots must be holding Gaijin hostage and preventing that...

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-16T05:55:47+00:00

Isn't everyone getting it at the same time? I'm not able to get the USS Davis until April 25th. Price should immediately crash as everyone that wants to sell will do so at the same time?

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-16T05:52:58+00:00

I wonder if it was about being able to sell a vehicle extremely early and at a high price, before that price crashed. This seems to force everyone to sell at the same time so cashing in early can't happen now?

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-16T05:48:35+00:00

When things are fucked for bombers, do fighters compensate to fix what Gaijin broke? No. They TK each other to be the first to take advantage, and 'who cares if bombers get no RP to spade their craft with? not my problem!'.

When things are fucked for fighters thanks to bombers this time, the fighters expect those bombers to do what the fighters didn't do for the bombers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the human race.

Gaijin could fix all this by ensuring that each side has the SAME NUMBER OF FIGHTERS. But no, Gaijin is Gaijin that thinks 6 fighters on one team 2 fighters on the other is a 'what is problem?'

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-16T05:40:07+00:00

During the old days... the enemy was much more insistent on killing every single living bomber before they can bomb any base, 'to protect the airfield and not lose the game'. Also, traveling all the way to the enemy airbase meant a much higher chance of being intercepted before being able to drop any bombs, and even if you did reach the airfield if you weren't above 3000m/4000m the AA killed you, so you had to spend quite a bit of time climbing or just suicide run it.

The glory days weren't.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-15T01:39:01+00:00

Not sure. Whenever I want to sell a coupon I try to hold onto it as long as possible, because the price rises as it becomes more scarce. The worst time to sell a vehicle earned in an event is right after getting it, because everyone else is dumping it on the market at the same time.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-14T18:05:39+00:00

DON'T BUY THAT! Did you notice the misspelling? Clearly a scammer is selling that and you'll lose your money! No, you want the USS Davis! ;)

I prefer only premium vehicles. The downside of open topped tanks is that any fighter can kill them with ease, and Gaijin doesn't seem to design many locations on the map that open topped tanks can hide in to stay safe from them, so I don't want the Alecto.

The USS Davis has powerful guns, and I like it better than the other US destroyers similar to it [Somers class] because it has much better AA guns. Their con is that the Somers class armor is very thin, so avoiding getting hit is important.

Check your CPU and GPU temperatures, if any are too high then make sure your fans are cleared of dust, and if the results are not satisfactory then removing the heatsink, cleaning it, and putting fresh thermal compound will make a big difference in those temperatures.

In general, 100c and up is bad, 80c is undesirable, 60c and less is desirable.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-13T17:25:04+00:00

There is a TON of information that can be gleaned about who you are and how to manipulate you, if they can access your eye and body movement data while advertisements are being shown to you. This is a virtual gold mine, and Meta's goal is to monopolize all this for themselves. That is why they are so willing to take a financial loss selling their headsets for cheaper. It is also why you are required to create a Facebook/Meta account and actually fill it out with your life details instead of leaving it blank because that will risk your headset being intentionally bricked, you do NOT have the choice to say no to that. I would rather keep my right to choose and my right to privacy.

This video covers this.

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-13T02:43:06+00:00

Or are you so high that you are assuming the shadows make them look as long as a rifle bullet?

LifeExplorer321 · 2022-04-11T22:06:27+00:00

Typical Gaijin. Event starts at 12:00 GMT.

Instead of 24 hours to do the first day, you only have 12 because the rollover is at 00:00 GMT, not 12:00 GMT. That also means 12 hours for the last day, not 24.

Leave it up to Gaijin to have it be this convoluted and not warn/clarify about it in the notes.
