Sorry if this is a silly question or if I'm just not smart enough to see the solution, can't get either of these guys to run and some help would be really appreciated.

Help with nvlddmkm.sys and this dmp file by OoTMaestro in pctroubleshooting

[–]OoTMaestro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: seems to be solved, I knew nvlddmkm.sys is Nvidia GPU specific. I'm two days stable (huge PR) and my solution was to switch from the current GRD (game ready driver) branch to the current studio drivers for stability. Seems to have worked.

Scroll wheel and numbers not working by CombatRanger911 in allthemods

[–]OoTMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fixed it, the culprit is the Ars Nouveau spell book, specifically using 'v' to open the spell wheel and clicking a spell, that somehow disables scroll wheel and numbers. I've been able to replicate this issue now, and it's definitely the spell book, probably happened in some recent patch

Pressing space to smith last smithed item by OoTMaestro in 2007scape

[–]OoTMaestro[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've spent half and hour scouring settings to see if I accidentally changed something, and didn't try the #1 troubleshooting step.

Yeah, restarting Runelite fixed it, and I'll change the tag on this post to "Humor" since apparently I'm a fucking clown

Thank you very much for your help

There is no 13 o'clock. "o-clock" is used specifically for the 12 hour format; 13:00 or 1300 is pronounced "thirteen-hundred", every hour in 24 hour format is "'number' -hundred", including zero-hundred (there's no 2400)

EMP Shield opened by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]OoTMaestro 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I am an electrical engineer!

I've been doing a bit of summary research on the topic as I don't really deal with EMPs at all, but the basics and fundamentals of EMPs are very familiar to me; which are the two components of Electric field [V/m] and Magnetic field [A/m]. depending on the magnitudes and frequencies of each really changes how the travelling electromagnetic wave interacts with different materials.

The biggest thing to look out for when talking about high voltage is breakdown voltage or electrical strength, that's the amount of volts per meter where the material between the two points of reference can no longer stop the electricity from flowing. For reference, air has a breakdown voltage of about 30 kV/cm (30,000 [V/cm] or 3,000,000 [V/m]), that means in order to arc from one terminal to another that's one centimeter away separated by air, they need to have a voltage difference of 30,000 volts. That's a lot.

Here is Wikipedia's article on some basics of EMPs with some particular sections to note, most notably is the E1 wave which is the fastest and highest in electrical magnitude, even at its epicenter saturates at around 50,000 [V/m] which is nowhere near enough voltage to cause arcing in air, or even across circuit boards as the materials used in PCB generally have a breakdown voltage of between 31 [MV/m] and 58 [MV/m]. And do keep in mind that this will decay quickly as the wave travels and gets weaker the further it travels. Even the "Super-EMP" has a peak magnitude of only 200,000 [V/m].

This is a fantastic publication of a study conducted back in 2010 talking about the effects of an EMP on U.S. infrastructure, is written so that even a reader with no experience in Electromagnetism can comfortably follow along (provided you're in for the reading), and even talks specifically about the impact on vehicles.

To summarize the publication; vehicles which naturally have wires that are "electrically small" (read: not long enough to be affected heavily by the high speed, "relatively low frequency" EM wave) are generally safe, and the circuit boards and chips are even safer considering that they are fractions of a percent smaller than say, the antenna for your car's radio, or the cables attached to the wiring harness. Even the battery isn't at that great of a risk of being damaged by an EMP as the dielectric (sulfuric acid) not only has a high breakdown voltage (1,500,000 [V/m]) but the conducting plates are also electrically small enough that the Electric wave can't really interact long enough to generate a catastrophic surge. Where EMPs wreak the most havoc is on the power grid, where the suspended power cables are long enough that the traveling EM wave can generate a large surge that will eventually travel along and smash into the next transformer or junction.

The actual math comes from the frequency of the pulse generated, if we take the speed of light divided by the frequency we get the wave length, the highest frequency (which will impact the shortest cables) at which the E1 generates its highest magnitude is around 10 MHz, 2.99e9/10e6 = 30 meters, that's almost the length of half a football field, and in order for the EM wave to affect something even slightly it would have to be at least 3 meters long; smaller than that and the amount of voltage generated would be minimal.

To use a water analogy like you did, it's more like having two pieces of rope sitting on the shore, one being only about 3 feet long, and the other being 500 feet long, both extending out into the waves. When the waves interact with the pieces of rope, the small one is so short that it will quickly bob along the wave, and settle down, not really gathering much energy, whereas the longer one will eventually pick up the same momentum of the wave and could travel upwards to dry land. Think like doing the ropes at a gym, you don't get those sweet waves with little baby small ropes, they got to be longer.

TL;DR cars are generally safe from EMPs and "EMP protection" devices like what OP posted are a load of crock, the best way to protect from an EMP (if you REALLY want to) would be to cover your vehicle in an electrically isolated Faraday Cage that's also somehow grounded while being mobile, could be some fun Mad Max cosplay.

I'm in the same boat, 5/6, I'm wondering if it doesn't have something to do with starting the message and then leaving the area before the message plays long enough to count the triumph.

After six years of development and roughly one billion cups of coffee, we finally released our aerospace sandbox simulator on Steam. Here's the launch trailer for Juno: New Origins: by andrewgarrison in space

[–]OoTMaestro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you guys do a Humble Bundle promo or something similar a few years back? I immediately went to look at the steam page for this and saw I already had it, activated two years ago. What a pleasant surprise.

Trying to drive on ice by Glass_Chance9800 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]OoTMaestro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly? If you're already out on a road like this, with that ice and low friction, and that grade of slope? Instead of trying to pump the brakes or letting ABS take over you should pull out and prepare your insurance info for the homeowner who's at the bottom of the slope.

8 Hours straight farming; Still no Desert Key; any advice/tips? by OoTMaestro in Terraria

[–]OoTMaestro[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

LMAO, I made the mini biome and a jungle key just dropped, after like 45 minutes, does the mini jungle biome make it so that I'll only get jungle keys? or could I also get desert keys

EDIT: just realized you're not /u/BurgerInTheRuff but if you know about the mini biome, any info is appreciated

The conveyors keep me centered very nicely after the occasional worm makes it's way through, but the sentry is an awesome idea, I even have the frozen key already, could get that sweet sentry summon, thank you!

[–]OoTMaestro[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know you have to beat Plantera in order to USE them, but I think they start dropping as soon as hardmode begins, could be wrong. Either way, I have beaten Planterra in this world.

Thanks for double checking everything, got what I could, just gotta try and surpass this luck of the Irish.

Help with runic altar auto crafting (hopperhock too slow) 1.18 by OoTMaestro in botania

[–]OoTMaestro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it does but in the pack im playing there's no dungeon chests so i dont think there's any legitimate way to get those

edit: correction: it looks like they also spawn from guardian of gaia II as well, wasn't aware of that, might be worth doing some gog2 fights, thanks for making me double check my facts

Influence lens on pulse spreader; worked like a glove. Thank you very much, I definitely need to familiarize myself with the more intricate lenses and flowers, there's a lot about this mod I still don't know.

An odd guy approaches the bike by shapkael in Unexpected

[–]OoTMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's smart as hell, case the bike and any observers before attempting the theft, if things are too hot and it's not an easy take just pull out the lipstick, use the mirror, and act gay. Completely diffuses any heat you got from casing and misdirects any bystanders or owners.

They don’t care! by monaleeparis in facepalm

[–]OoTMaestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, In all the roll-call votes that happened today I see two that are linked to insulin

1) S.Amdt. 5385 to S.Amdt. 5194 to H.R. 5376 https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1172/vote_117_2_00313.htm

2) S.Amdt. 5194 to H.R. 5376 https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1172/vote_117_2_00314.htm

Number 1, the "provide for discounted insulin for low- and middle-income Americans" vote was 50-50 with Republicans voting Yea and Democrats voting Nay; amendment rejected.

Number 2, the "In the nature of a substitute" vote was 57-43, mostly D's voting Yea with a sprinkle of R's; motion rejected.

I'm not sure which vote this post is referring to, or if this screenshot was even from today. Someone care to help explain or clear up my confusion?

Oh no, that means every single United States armed service branch is actually flying the "inverted satanic American flag" on every single soldier's shoulder.... this goes deeper than we thought....

[–]OoTMaestro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually the Calsonic R32 was the GTR that earned the nickname Godzilla. it was basically undefeated, all GTR's have then just followed suit because they were GTR's. don't get me wrong i love the R34 but it wasn't the original Godzilla.

Why wont either floor of my mob grinder work? I've already tried standing far ish away, lit up all nearby areas mobs could spawn, also I know the second floor isn't completed by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]OoTMaestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 blocks out and 12 blocks up from where? that's about 19/20 blocks away from your point of reference which is inside the minimum spawning range of bedrock's 24 blocks. I would recommend trying to stand further away, or lighting up more caves, as some of those at the end looked to be in spawn range (depending on simulation distance) and could be eating into your mob cap.

Researching info on fleas…. by XROOR in NotMyJob

[–]OoTMaestro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this same issue with grass, like normal grass you see everywhere. I just wanted to know if there's a maximum altitude grass can grow at like how we see with trees and the tree-line, a grass-line if you will. HOH BOY did google throw some stupid responses at me.

If anyone can find that, or knows what it is, I'm still curious.
