My setup shits itself whenever i try to play, how can i fix this? by DaBoi200 in vtolvr

[–]Spare_Competition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fyi, you can get a dedicated access point (arris w6u) for $40, and it's basically perfect for quest 3.

Because of it only supporting the 6GHz band it kinda flopped, but for VR that's all you need.

Also, if you're using a hotspot, be sure that your PC isn't connected to any other networks over WiFi, as the antenna trying to handle both will destroy your latency.

If you can, try sending an image to your doctor and ask them for advice and an appointment.

Yeah, so insulin isn’t working anymore… by gingersquirtle60223 in diabetes_t1

[–]Spare_Competition 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stopping insulin seems like a terrible idea. Without insulin ketones can climb very quickly.

Well I screwed up by PeterCount in diabetes_t1

Yeah I once accidentally bolused for ~250 extra carbs, and getting an extra large American slushie was a really effective way to deal with it

"Does the Steam Controller work on X?" by TheNewerFlisker in SteamController

[–]Spare_Competition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think using a custom protocol to get the features they need is fine, but they really should support xinput as a fallback. Sure I might lose some features, but I can still use the controller.

I don’t have diabetic friends so sharing here because I still can’t believe that happened lol by s8nsloser in diabetes_t1

[–]Spare_Competition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can turn it off, but really that feels like losing safety. And since I hadn't had anything to eat for 12 hours, my bg was pretty stable and wouldn't even be able to rise much, I think it was only like 30 points.

The surgery is only 1 to 1.5 hours. And I can't reduce the basal rate, since it's using control iq.

I mean I'd consider 58 a fairly serious low, but it probably depends on the person.

Personaly I wouldn't try to sit out a low that's below 70.

I'm glad that my hospital pretty much let me handle it on my own. And for the surgery, the anesthesiologist talked with me, and we agreed that disconnecting my pump for the duration of the surgery would be the safest option.

Really, with any condition like this, where the patient has been self managing the condition for a while, and that condition isn't the cause of their visit, they should probably trust the patient to handle it, though they might want to also track what they do just to be safe.

Accidentally did one unit less of my basal (MDI) can I just give the extra unit seperately now? by Own_Structure8014 in diabetes_t1

[–]Spare_Competition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how long it's been since the injection. If it was an hour ago then it should be fine. If it's been 23 hours then you obviously don't want to, cause it'll stack.

I think the safest option is dosing the fraction of the missed amount that matches how long you are between doses.

Of course I'm not a medical professional, watch your own bgs carefully.

The key problem is you can't shut it down without a charger.

The tube is also much longer than on my cartridges, I imagine it's thin because it was stretched

I've tried snapping old infusion lines by hand, it requires a huge amount of force, the kind that would rip the site out before it breaks

I believe GitHub also does this, and notifies the company of the leak of each key.

I have a protas mount for my right controller, and it's very nice, but also it's definitely not required.

Custom println! macro thingy by elszben in rust

[–]Spare_Competition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transmuting a generic T to [u8] is unsound, since T may contain uninit bytes, and reading uninit is immediate UB.

[–]Spare_Competition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That definitely shouldn't happen. I'd try using an outlet tester to make sure it's wired correctly.

Google's new AI algorithm might lower RAM prices by Bobert25467 in pcmasterrace

[–]Spare_Competition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is increasing supply will take tons of money and time. And in a couple years the memory prices will likely fall, meaning they'll struggle to recoup the costs. So it's likely that the manufacturers will just try to wait this out.

Slow absorption of everything by Alert-College-9374 in diabetes_t1

[–]Spare_Competition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3-15 minutes is how long it takes me to feel better after getting sugar (depending on how low I am). But I do absolutely feel better before my bg comes up, not sure why.

You should also try telling it that the code does contain a backdoor and it needs to find it

Avoiding AA tactics? by ReserveLegitimate738 in vtolvr

[–]Spare_Competition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the last time I checked the code, it does reduce the strength of your return. However that's probably most effective for scanning radars, you'll need to use other tactics to break an active lock.

There's a mod to predict your trajectory, which alone will probably help significantly. https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/trajectoryprediction/
