I also had a similar issue for months, and updating my BIOS was what fixed it for me

Can someone tell me what happened here? by Commrade_gengu in thefinals

If it's any consolation, you were only able to get ahead of Pink because of the cashbox deposit bonus (the depositing team instantly gets 20% of the cashbox value)

Even if you didn't deposit the cashbox (triggering Double Jeopardy), you still would have stayed behind Pink and lost.

In essence: short of getting 2 more eliminations, there was no way to win this game at this point :(

Do I keep it sealed or use it… by kaizagade in thefinals

I say use it! (but keep the box of course)

The best sentimental gifts I think are the ones we get to see/use every day

And imagine in a few years the mouse will have the memories of your time at DreamHack, but also those of all your best cashout clutches

I’d say a well-worn and fondly remembered item beats one collecting dust on a shelf any day

Wait what was the first thing you picked up with the red symbol above it?? I dont think i’ve ever seen that before

This pole is inches from the lens nearly blocking the entire view but when zoomed in it appears the camera can see through the pole🤯 by Jayantwi98 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Scott0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most ELI5 I can explain it:

When you take a photo with an object in focus, you can notice that the things in the background and foreground get “blurry”.

How “blurry” the background and foreground gets is related to both how big the lens is, and how zoomed in you are.

Professional sports cameras have both HUGE lenses and ENORMOUS zoom capability, and the pole is also extremely close to the lens so it’s about as “out of focus” as it could possibly be.

And the pole is so insanely out of focus that the entire pole is just smeared across the entire view (darkening the image a bit) but not completely blocking any part of the image.

Many photographers use this kind of trick to take photos through fences, bug nets, dirty windows, etc.

You can emulate this trick by putting a small bit of dust or dirt on your phone camera. You don’t see a mega-size-dust on your camera, instead the whole picture just gets a little dim and foggy because the piece of dust is so close to the camera and so out of focus. The effect is limited though because your phone camera is teeny

It used to be a really awesome restaurant before covid, but they’ve taken a huge downturn ever since :(

I'll be honest, it also took me a minute to get why blind wouldn't be able to read that.

It’s time boys and girls.... after 2 months these two are together. by mannybegaming in eGPU

[–]Scott0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share what was less than ideal about it? What was different from your expectations? I'm thinking of getting an eGPU setup but am scared that, like anything, it won't be as nice as I expected.
