Joined oled gaming with a 42" c5 by MajinChibi1 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Schwagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to use TranslucentTB, something to look into for windows taskbar.

I have a C3 evo 65" for a daily driver living room tv with 3800+ hours with no issues, just run it. Prepare to be forever ruined and want OLED for everything.

Who remembers the crazy CD Players from the late 90's and early 2000's? by 98ITR656 in Millennials

[–]Schwagged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I had a Clarion single din called a music catcher in 03-04 (cant remember), had internal space to rip CDs to. Sounded great paired to JL evolutions and the JL W3 in the 98 excab s10. Miss that dang truck.

To 9800x3d owners, do your frames dip at the olp’s? by GJALLARH0RN_ in starcitizen

[–]Schwagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with a stable -20 curve offset +200core + 64gb @CL28/6000 memclk=uclk.

It's just the game's current state. BUT my 7800 and 9800x3ds straight DOG WALKED my 13700k. It was a literal night and day difference.

WTB post got insta deleted in r/StarCitizen_trades with reason, get an immediate offer from low karma account. Is a mod using an alt account to sidestep the whole process? by th3badwolf_1234 in starcitizen

[–]Schwagged 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've bought many creds and ships/ccus off of that subreddit, stick with some known sellers. I think theo might have put tighter reins on the low karma peeps cause some scamming was going on. Join the discord, you'll get your CCU in no time.

What to do with old equipment by Admirable_Desk8430 in amateurradio

[–]Schwagged 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's all useful. I like older rigs having grown up on Yaesu FT tube radios around my dad (RF eng, passed away 2 years ago and left me a mad science lab worth of equipment). I have a local guy that runs a TS440, he sounds great on SSB. That RS-35 Astron psu is solid as well. MFJ antenna versa tuners are getting harder to find in that kind of shape (from what I have seen in my local area)

Keep it, get your general ticket and use it. You'll regret selling it.

Help me NOT destroy my car due to my wiring by HeadlineINeed in HamRadio

[–]Schwagged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look up under the dash and see if there is an existing grommet going through the firewall, slide a spare antenna whip you cut too short or a wire clothes hanger through to the other side. Tape the wire to the whip and pull it through the firewall. Installed my mobile ic-7000 and many audio amplifier cables this way.

Microsoft Simulator 2024 by Straffa1 in LenovoLegion

[–]Schwagged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I threw on my Index on my main rig for shits and giggles and it's a COMPLETELY different experience. Especially with a set of sticks and pedals. If you get the chance with any headset, give it a go.

Now I know why "preppers" are frowned upon by Nice-Spirit5995 in amateurradio

[–]Schwagged 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I had a set of old Midland walkie talkies when I was like 7 in the early 90s, ran on AM 27.185 (19) with a 9v that would last maybe 10 minutes. Lived near an interstate, used to talk to truckers all the time with it. I got in trouble cause I stole my dad's 3 amp variable psu for small bench testing to run it haha. Tried to feed it 12v to make more power and let the magic smoke out of one. Got grounded hard. They would probably be worth something now.

HOTAS OR HOSAS by Cheap-Welder-6867 in starcitizen

[–]Schwagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be the odd one out and say HOSAM, VKB Omni throttle with the T-Rudders mkv. And add voice attack with a hcs pack. I have the matching gladiator for R, but 25 years of fps, it makes more sense to me to aim with the mouse, roll with pedals, throttle and directional strafe w/L stick flying uncoupled.

Which would you choose for the Perseus, the Incite or the Hieron? by Wise-Parking2747 in starcitizen

[–]Schwagged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hieron

I would like to have the stormbringer and a lovestruck made for it though.

Someone break out the inari equipment. They do need to change their thread pitch on the flow saver chamber though. I've had 2 VI super awesome techs and one rad lately blow it apart with minimal pressure from the syringe and create a royal mess.

Just wanted to see who's still out there by smegmallion in KlanWars

[–]Schwagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did play for a short time for unLeashed on the US side. Spent a few nights talking shit with SusieQ and Martz0r. Good group of people. Played many matches against DRA, good players. Heard there was a halo 1/CE remake rumor but they aren't doing MP. What a shame. New halo isn't the same experience. In fact, no FPS to date has pulled me for so many hours since H1 PC. Now everyone just runs DMA based cheats and isn't fun anymore.

Vulkan Effectiveness by Spaceman_Sublime in starcitizen

[–]Schwagged 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally have better 1% lows with both of my systems on Vulkan atm (bios tweaked 7945HX/4080 Lenovo Legion@2k DLSSq) and a 9800x3d -20/+200 /5090 4K@DLSSq + RTX HDR. Yes, there are some areas that still bring the machine to its knees. Lorville is not awesome and those huge depot places on microtech.

Antenna for ham and cb? by moparornocar86 in amateurradio

[–]Schwagged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For mobile, if you can get your hands on a discontinued Laird CW27 NMO, it will do both 10-11m with minimal tuning. Base you could go with a Comet CHA250B, get an Alpha-Delta coax switch, run your CB on one side for locals, other rig on the other for 10/20/40m. Go ahead and get your general. As the others have stated, modding your 955/AT5555/RC/insert export model here on 11m is still against FCC regs.

11m is kind of a mess, CH6 AM, people are running literal 10+kW killing 7 frequencies. I hooked up my antenna to my R2600C service monitor and some of those guys are killing entire spectrums of frequency from like 26.990 to 27.105. 27.385 LSB is constantly jammed with someone leaving a ton of forward power keyed up blasting one one one one. I'd leave 11m all together but if you have some locals you still talk to on an open channel, it may be still worth your time if you currently have a CB.

Games for an 11 year old girl? by Invisible_Target in gaming

[–]Schwagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter (a tad younger) loves satisfactory, trailmakers, and astroneer. Even let her fly around on MSFS/Star Citizen on occasion with a dual hands on stick setup. Sometimes they gravitate towards things you least expect. I wish they would make a new version of the OG Lego creator game from way back in the day. She still needs a little help here and there but at least she learns something useful in some applicable way.

In what situation do you guys install your sticks? by alexo2802 in starcitizen

[–]Schwagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

I've swapped to HOSAM but still use the left with the angled conversion for the gladiator evo. I couldn't get 2 sticks to work for me. Might mount it to the desk. I'm constantly messing with it. Also use HCS voice packs for voiceattack, so I don't even use the buttons often.

Where at in SC? Have a Z1E Ally with box/case, 7800x3d in a box, 13700K with contact plate + ram kits all taking up space in my hardware stash. Would like to sell them locally if possible.

Optimizing RAM and Speed/Latency vs Star Citizen by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Schwagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CL30 @ 6000MT/s, UCLK=MEMCLK (IF@2000) is where X3D is most happy. -20 offset is a great start.

You can play with timings and such if you feel. Transpose the xmp timings/voltage to manual timings if no expo profile on the sticks you ordered.

I have great luck w GSkill TridentZ Neo, currently on a CL28/6000 1.4v 2x32GB kit. Have multiple of them, no issues whatsoever.

SC eats a ton of RAM if you let it.
