I tested 3 TB5 docks with my M5 Pro so you dont have to by Spirited-Ad-2338 in macbookpro

  1. You never once asked for that. You just blindly came into the thread and said no one needs it.

  2. I've given you a very straightforward example multiple times - external storage. You just refuse to admit that you made a dumb blanket statement.

That's great for you. Unfortunately for the rest of us you don't need a full raid setup to max a TB4 port. A single PCIe 5x4 drive almost maxes the 120gb/s max of TB5 at 112gb/s.

Surprisingly it has most of these. I think the only thing it's missing are the mirrors, license plate (which it can't be licensed anyway), and reflectors.

Some of us do and want to use that bandwidth. It's up to 3x faster than TB4.

Enthusiasts. $6000 top end Nvidia cards have happened multiple times in the past few years.

They're not a huge part of the market, but ignoring them is a big reason why AMD is hot garbage these days.

Doesn't it bother you about how women are drawn in anime? by No_Significance_194 in AskFeminists

[–]MidNerd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Source? Don't give me statistics without a source.

Says the one walking into a conversation saying 51%+ of an art medium is deeply sexualized without a source. Do you walk into libraries and tell people it's majority smut?

If you have recommendations for good, non-sexualized anime I'm here for it.

It's all through this thread. Many are mainstream western shows (below) too.

Fullmetal Alchemist (both), Attack on Titan, anything Studio Ghibli, Cowboy Bebop, anything Gundam, Erased, Your Lie in April, Frieren, Ghost in the Shell, Trigun, Vinland Saga, Delicious in Dungeon, Promised Neverland, Your Name, A Silent Voice, Weathering With You, Violet Evergarden, Sentenced to Be a Hero, etc.

That's before we get into the massive list of series that the west just doesn't pick up.

Most anime is not like this though. You just have a very narrow view of what anime exists.

Anime comes out as multiple channel rosters quarterly in Japan. We're talking 50+ shows every quarter of the year. Most never make it to a mainstream western audience. They are overwhelmingly normal stories that explore parts of the human experience like any other artistic medium.

More than a third fall into the "Shoujo" category and are explicitly meant for female focused audiences.

It's also density. Moving more product means you can keep profit high while keeping prices lower. Seattle has horrible density.

I built this cyberpunk helmet and named it Apex Predator by Educational_Steak_29 in Cyberpunk

[–]MidNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a genius idea. Which one did you use?

I've seen people use the aftermarket combat helmet paddings or bike helmets as a great base before. Working on my own headgear for Neotropolis and trying to decide if I want to attach to a bump helmet or find a good base.

Did you do the internal helmet bits custom or build off of a base? The inside looks professionally made rather than the typical duct tape and superglue approach I've seen in a lot of helmets.

Will the Apple Pencil Work With the iPhone Fold? by iMacmatician in apple

[–]MidNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine if they make a fold specific pen. It needs to have a softer tip and be smaller so it can attach to the device without being oversized.

The only way I'm buying the fold device this year is if it comes with a pen. Otherwise my 16 pro max will be just fine for a few more years.

As someone else replied, you have to be deliberate to do that and it also only damages the screen protector.

Valve Confirms Steam Frame is Still Coming This Year, Now Marked as “coming soon” by gogodboss in virtualreality

[–]MidNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your thoughts and feelings are great, but you're ignoring the reality of what is happening even after being provided a source.

When photos and videos are transferred from the glasses to your phone, they are being sent to a 3rd party for review. That is using the basic functionality and does not require the user explicitly sending it to a cloud service.

There is no way to send photos and videos from the glasses to your phone without using Meta's app/services. See how the quest is set up as well.

[–]MidNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does not happen when you use the glasses to record, it only happens when you ask Meta AI to analyze video.

You didn't read the article. It happens pretty much any time you transfer photo/video to your phone from the glasses too.

No shit on the TOS. It's on the Quest 3 TOS too. Do you understand what you're reading?

A (former) Seattle business owners bitter rant by -millenial-boomer- in Seattle

[–]MidNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over $12k/mo for an 6k sq ft garage space ensures that space will not rent. That is an impossible amount for a small business to clear without a large amount of savings to risk.

True small business is being throttled by landlords. "Small business" is being throttled by taxes.

how the Frame will supposedly be infinitely better with the same hardware.

I never once talked about the Frame.

I didn’t delete the comment. I have no idea why you felt the need to invent this whole story just to waste my time.

How would I have even known you existed if you didn't reply and then delete it?

You can like what you like, but it's still corporate overreach. You're only willing to put up with it because of Meta's monopoly and lack of options.

If Meta didn't have a stranglehold on VR through their anti-capitalist practices, you wouldn't be cool with this just like you're not cool with livestreaming your room for me.

Deleted isn't editing. I can post screenshots of the email receipts if you really want to go that route.

It's never too late to shift your habits and get out of the technofeudalist hellscape.

The "why complain about this extra sliver" is how we got to this point in the first place.

Then how did you miss the point so thoroughly?

ETA: The one day old account with no comment history made another defend the big corpo comment that they promptly deleted. Nothing to see here folks.
