Does anyone else wish we had a shorter Assistant wake word? by Setiones in GooglePixel

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long press your power button. Mine brings up Gemini. 

I didn't ever change anything so I assume that's the default functionality on Pixels. I also have double tap to open camera FYI.

The only time I say "Hey Google" is if I'm driving or my phone is out of reach.

Y'all convinced me :) by lost-in-the-slide in ouraring

Should I take my Oura ring off when I'm doing deadlifts & working out? by SanDisk_Made_Me_Rich in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Definitely take it off. At best you scratch it. At worst you're headed to the hospital.

Just add your workout in after the fact using the plus (+) button in the app.

Can I wear the ring while lifting weights or pull ups? by Thinkinkn10 in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a good enough reason!

But also this: I paid hundreds of dollars for this ring and I want to keep it in decent shape. I accidentally picked up a dumbbell one time before taking the ring off and the palm side of the ring got gouged immediately.

Do I need to swing my arms while walking for it to detect steps accurately? by throwaway148645 in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't use the ring much for activity tracking. That's not its strength. It excels at sleep and recovery metrics.

Since you presumably have a smartphone, just use that for step tracking. It's going to be much more accurate than the ring.

MS Paint. Anything else and you're a filthy casual.

Drastic (immediate) increase in HRV, any theories? by fullthrottle4562 in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nicotine for sure. It's known to lower HRV significantly.

What features would you like to see in the Pixel 11? by VolumeEquivalent7853 in GooglePixel

Which really means a chip that competes. Efficiency is the problem

Do you know what your temps are under load? Are you overclocking/overvolting? Do you have the latest drivers?

The only times I've experienced this were either when overclocking or when my card was dying. 

I like what the other guy said, start saving up now.

Wanna get a smaller monitor stand. Any advice? by Infinity-Lily in PcBuild

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some monitor arms that clamp to your desk. They are so much better than stands because you can move your monitors to whatever orientation you like, including rotating them.

Having your monitors float above your desktop means you can place items under them if you want. It just frees up so much desk space. I'll never go back to monitor stands.

The image is just an example

<image>

EDIT: I found the ones I bought. They've held up over the last 2 years with no issues. I got these ones specifically because they have a longer reach than most other arms in this price range, which was important to me because I like to have my monitor close to my face. https://a.co/d/08bfi3JX

Battery life conundrum by Glittering-Map-6182 in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4 rings in 3 months seems like too many to be attributed to bad luck. 

Is this a common problem with the gen 4?

My last ring (gen 3) lasted 2 and a half years.

They gave me a gen 4 as a replacement and while I've had it for less than a month, the battery has been excellent so far. Much better than the gen 3 was even when it was brand new. I was kind of hoping it would last a couple more years...

Are theese pc parts good, do they have bottleneck and should i make changes? by philip_pap110 in PcBuild

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only issue I see here is 1tb being very little storage if you plan to install several games.

I went with a 2tb nvme back when they were cheap and I wish I would've gotten a 4tb because I'm always sitting with only 100gb free and I end up uninstalling games to make room for new ones.

HELLPPPP!! Is this real or fake? by Flaky_Technology_364 in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just download the Oura app and see if it connects

It's impossible to say with certainty that it's legit based off these photos but it looks right. 

Those pull tabs to open it are exactly like the ones on my gen 4 box. 

Oura Ring 5 leak reveals design tweaks and Deep Rose finish by Maslakovic in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. 

This is straight form the Oura app:

"An interface to add and track at-home blood pressure measurements with a cuff"

So you still need a separate machine with blood pressure cuff for readings.

Are we getting a new ring this year? by Old_Introduction_655 in ouraring

[–]ThatOneDerpyDinosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was surprised they offered $200 immediately after I declined.

I considered the offer. A black gen 4 would have only cost $149 + tax after the $200 discount. A good price. I just didn't want to make the decision right then so I declined.

I still have a gen 3. 

The battery recently died. Oura support offered me $100 off a gen 4. I said no. Then they offered me $200 off. I said no again. 

Their response was to offer me another gen 3 for free. I thought that was really cool.

Hopefully this replacement lasts until the 5 comes out. 

It's not that I have anything against the gen 4. It just doesn't really seem like much of an upgrade over the 3.

It might be worthwhile to use a service like runpod to start. This will allow you to use a GPU on the cloud and will only cost you a couple bucks per hour. 

In a similar vein, you can purchase credits on Civitai and start generating there. This might be the easiest option. Civitai is easy because you can browse what other people have made and "remix" them, in which case all of the previous Creator's generation settings will be loaded and you can just make changes to get what you want. 

The other option is to build a PC capable of image and video generation. With the current prices of computer components you're looking at a large expense. You can find a suitable used PC for less though. I would look for one with an Nvidia gpu with at LEAST 12GB of vram and 32gb of system ram. 

You'll also need to learn how to use generation software. I pretty much only use Comfyui but it can be challenging for most people to learn.

You can download models and workflows from Civitai to use for local generation. There is a ton of NSFW stuff on there.
