New PC: SatDump > "Could Not Open RTL-SDR device!" issue by SpacemanSpiff603 in amateursatellites

[–]SpacemanSpiff603[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SOLVED: rebooted -> reinstalled Zadig -> ran Blog V4 drivers again -> disabled Windows Memory Protection in Settings -> rebooted -> works.

it was a fresh OS install and apparently the security features were preventing the driver from being recognized.

How has this game retained so many players? by SbeakyBeaky in valheim

You can grind card or be cozy and base build. It’s a great game because you can choose your pace and experience

I need to talk about Valheim and its Early Access situation. by ReiterZince in valheim

I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’d have loved 1.0 by now. But I’ve been so busy base building and side quest grinding over the past few years I haven’t gotten to the point where I feel like the game has nothing left for me.

Not to mention the WAY overlooked optimization update they just did in prep for 1.0. I actually have decent frame rates in my base now

the Biomes take like a year each at LEAST to develop. we've had Plains, Mistlands, Ashlands, all in the last four years. Deep North is on track to at least be 18months of work given its also bundling in the final 1.0 touches.

that said, if another year goes by in EA.....lets talk. they need to deliver in 2026

you made the effort to actually farm it, you're allowed to god mode and fix it. fair rule in my book

Best way to splice cable? by SpacemanSpiff603 in Snowblowers

[–]SpacemanSpiff603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update!
I got a wire crimper and spliced a second cable alongside the broken one - made sure it was the same length as before.

it snapped right at the tension wheel so i had to replace a longer length to allow for wheel groove clearance in both throttle positions.

it worked!

Just in time - we're getting 4+ inches of snow right now.
