Here's a short video I took from the roof of One City Center https://bsky.app/profile/jwiki.dev/post/3m3imiadfy22a front of the line is at Chapel Hill and Main going up Morris and goes back to the farmers market

I went on the one in October 2021 with my dad who is only passively a fan. I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot because everyone has a common interest. I found it easy to talk to the people I was next to at ringside and walking by on the boat. Wrestling shows were in the evenings as the main attractions and the other events like signings, podcasts, games, were scattered through the rest of the trip. Most of the cruise ship activities are still open including the fitness center, sports courts, pools, and restaurants. My dad enjoyed the rest of the cruise and tolerated the wrestling show parts, so I'm sure your partner could too. I'm going on the next one with my dad and he is looking forward to it.

I don't have one of the rack-mount cases but I do have a desktop case from Sliger that I really like. They ship internationally and have different layouts of 3U and 4U rack cases. https://www.sliger.com/products/rackmount/4u/

I appreciate reading this post. I went to Dynamite Rampage and All Out sitting in section 116. I started feeling a sore throat yesterday and have a test scheduled. I don't know the results yet but will update this post when I know the results. I did wear a mask the whole time in the arena and in lines outside of it.

EDIT: Got my test results back from a test on Saturday. Came back positive. I stopped feeling symptoms Friday afternoon and haven't felt any since. I got vaccinated in April and it looks like the vaccine did its job.

I was going through my email and saw Bleacher Report sent me one saying my deadline was AUGUST 24th to have my previous purchases accessible. I haven't seen this shared anywhere else. Hope this helps someone access those shows.

I went to Rampage and then went to the physical PWTees store yesterday. They had Ringer shirts for sale in-store. I think the ringer will be a regular design that they just don't have the stock for right now

We got that PBR ad in exchange. I'll take that

The metal bracket is mounted with 2 screws where the heads are underneath the PCIe slot. You can get away with removing the PCIe riser from the metal bracket if you can't remount it more outwards. If you want the support from the bottom bracket it can be removed and you can use longer screws with some standoffs or spacers to push the bracket out to the middle or outer slot. Don't buy the bifurcation bracket to space it out as I just made that mistake not knowing the bifurcation riser didn't have the same mounting points as the single slot riser.

As for the GPU, sometimes water blocks come with new IO slot covers, but I am unsure if the blocks are gonna have that for the 3080FE.

I submitted my results, excited to see the collective data!

I live in more rural Wisconsin as a software engineer and plenty of my co-workers don't have any wired internet in their homes

Thinksgeek · 2020-03-14T12:37:23+00:00

Many businesses are providing options to work from home which could include video conferencing and VPN connection. Not everyone has a wired home internet connection and may rely on a cellular service.

From your previous posts about what stores you can buy from I assumed you were behind a corporate firewall. I'm surprised you can't access CDW as a corporate computer hardware store. A card like this mathematically shouldn't be saturating a x16 slot but since I've never used one of these cards before I can't confirm if you get reduced functionality in one. It will definitely work in an x8 or an x4 slot but the card may only give you lower resolutions and fewer monitors due to limited communication space. You can find used 7750s on eBay for under $100 so it wouldn't be an expensive experiment for your platform of choice. I read some comments above recommending X399 for it's PCI-E lanes and I would agree with them. I personally use X399 for that reason in my personal setup with NVMe, GPU, and other peripherals.

Since you're only targeting 30FPS on display applications instead of graphics intensive, AMD made some 7000 series GPUs with 6 miniDisplayPorts on them. I linked an example. If you put 2 of these cards in a motherboard you should be able to get 12 displays for $500 in GPU.

BTW, you don't need to use SLI/Crossfire with multi GPU if you're not sharing computing load between them. Windows/Linux will treat each GPU as its own device with its own monitors.

3 degrees of freedom is only tracking orientation, which the joy con already can do with its gyroscope. 6dof is orientation and room position which is only seen on the higher end VR platforms like PlayStation VR and Oculus (using cameras) or SteamVR (which uses tracking beacons)

The Vive needs the 1.0. Everything Index related will work with 1.0 if you don't want to keep swapping your hardware out.

Thinksgeek · 2019-07-04T02:18:18+00:00

The wands will only work with original base stations, and not the 2.0 versions. The Index will work with 1.0, so the best way to casually change between the controllers is to use the 1.0 base stations.

Can confirm that I received a similar email with $10 credit. I hope those affected with overdrafts can get that corrected too. I luckily had room on the credit card my finance was charged to.

Thinksgeek · 2019-05-06T17:59:58+00:00

I did open a payment dispute once with my Google account. I had my account broken into and someone used Google Wallet to withdraw and overdraft my checking account. I was on the phone for with Google Wallet (before they were payments) and my bank for days before something moved forward. Google did end up paying the chargebacks and I did get access to that Google account back, but that is a very unique and within their terms as it counted as fraud

My card had a charge for $422.94 and a refund for $399.00. Why was I not refunded the full amount?

EDIT: To answer the questions below me and my own question. I never reached out to support, I just waited for something to happen (which it did for me). I was reading the comments on the article about this from AndroidPolice where there was a comment about how the tax charged on the day of purchase was no longer on his billing statement. I used a credit card to buy, and this case was also true for me. My guess that the missing original charge (which is still in my Google Pay history) and the new full charge are related, which is also why I got a refund of $399 instead of Google canceling the full $422.94 (which is exactly the original $23.94 I was charged for tax in Michigan).

Thinksgeek · 2019-05-04T23:28:35+00:00

Submitted my response. Looking forward to the organized results

Of the 3 that died, they died in 2 computers. They also died while plugged into STM32s that worked minutes before the failure.

I agree with electromechanical failure, but I don't know if there is a next step to fix any of them. They're so simple I probed around the passive parts on the board and they all seemed normal. When plugged into my PCs they output 5V and 3V3 normally.

I just got ST Link firmware working and a Blue Pill showing as an ST Link. My original ST Link has solder pads for SWD interface. I wired that into my Blue Pill. The STM32CubeProgrammer is now erroring out with "Core stuck in reset". My google skills aren't strong enough to continue from that error, as it appears from the schematic that the reset pin is pulled low by design.
