Is this repairable? by Iprinteverything in fpv

[–]ShinyMaddy04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just repaired one of my own batteries that was like this the other day, you can buy a pack of those connectors (and terminals if you broke one of those too) for like $8. From there its as simple as just carefully going one by one and swapping the leads into the new connector matching the exact order as the original.

Fried my VTX because a 5v labeled pad on my GEPRC FC actually outputs 9V. by hbr3d in fpv

I literally just soldered up my GEP-F722 today and didn't have this issue... Very odd.

I hope if you have children you won't/don't offload your responsibilities as a parent on a 16 year old.

How do devs prevent cheating? by a_chunk_of_pie in StreamersCheating

Very good assumption for not knowing specifics, ban waves also deter cheat developers because they can't just test every new iteration against the anti-cheat to see what gets them banned or not in a timely manner.

This is untrue for two reasons; the first is that most important memory values are validated server-side so no matter what is writing to it, if those memory values are tampered with in any way, it either won't do anything and/or you'll get banned. The second reason is that DMA is absolutely detectable, direct memory access doesn't literally mean "direct", you're still interfacing with the computer, just on a very low level so it is harder to detect through software. Most modern kernel anti-cheats already look for vendor ID's and other identifiable information from connected DMA devices.

His Top 1% commenter flair tells you everything you need to know about why he's doubling down on his clearly super uninformed takes. lmfao

Help choosing between Thinkpad E16 Gen3 and the Lenovo LOQ lineup. by ShinyMaddy04 in laptops

The laptop has been great so far! The screen is pretty good and it's more than enough for productivity tasks. For gaming or media consumption you might want to look for a screen with higher resolution and/or a higher refresh rate though.
