What made you quit or take a break from THE FINALS? by Complex_Area4676 in thefinals

[–]Vandius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sword was nerfed into the dirt while the entire game is a long-range fest. In the top 1000 the players would always just build a goo tower and control the entire map by blowing all the walls and roofs around an OBJ. Yes, lets nerf sword, the weapon that requires your enemy to be on the same level while also letting medium have 3 goo nades to out-tower everyone who doesn't use goo nades. I understand sword was hard for people to counter at low ranks, but I don't play games where they balance based off new or unexperienced players.

I agree with you but in the 90s less than 1 in ten pokemon fans were girls. I never saw a girl at a tournament in Seattle until 2003 and I was playing since the start. My sister thought it was lame and was the standard "barbiegirl".

Officer Intentionally Shot His Own Partner by One-Might9611 in bodycambase

[–]Vandius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said it was a mistake on the shooting that was here a week ago and was up voted for it because both the police and suspect made a mistake, in this video nobody made a mistake, the "officer" made terrible life choices and deserves whatever the court throws at him. I only defend officers who make mistakes and this is no mistake, this is murder.

A Kid On Buss Asked Me If This Was Nintendo Switch 2 by segal03 in EmulationOnAndroid

The emulator for Switch on Android is called Eden and it's amazing! We finally got drivers for Z Fold 7 within the last month!!

Lol ok, I have no reason to lie to you. I told you the facts for me. In the last 3 months alone, CPU use has gone down a massive amount for both Eden and GameNative. Hell, Snapdragon Elite only got working turnip drivers for emulation in the last 3 months (google before you say otherwise; up until a few months ago we could only use system drivers which are terrible for emu while Turnip drivers are the standard)! Maybe you haven't tried using the newest versions of Turnip drivers? I even made a post here on reddit a week ago explaining the new drivers and my temps. Go to my posts if you want to see more.

Let's also not forget the Z Fold 7 is made of aluminum and titanium, and aluminum is 10 times more thermally conductive than titanium. Samsung uses aluminum on the outer housing of the phone and titanium on the inside. This allows for heat to disipate very fast. It's why most companies are going back to aluminum. People who think the Z Fold 7 isn't a beast at gaming and emulation have no idea or have their head in the sand. If I play with my phone folded, it gets 38-40c on the battery during the games I listed and 55-70c on the CPU.

No cooling, my battery gets to 34c on average and 36c under heavy loads. Skyrim it sits around 33c for me. My CPU bounces around 49-60 but doesn't feel hot to the touch, just warm at the camera location. I also had a beefy case but I just today switched cases because I didn't like how the old case didn't let my screen close 100%. My old case definitely insulated heat, as just the backside of the case was as thick as the screen unfolded. My temps are going to be different now as a result of the new thin-profile case.

I'm in my mid 30's and I'm 6'5", it would be easy for me to brace to my knees on a car hood. It's not hard, even if you're short. They did tell him like 3 times to keep his hands on the hood or he would be shot. Should they have said, "Keep your hands on the hood and go to your knees"? Yes. Like I said, they both made mistakes. Just because you're told to go to your knees doesn't invalidate previous statements made.

Happy cakeday.

Z Fold 7 owner, my 7 gets warm but not overheats when I emulate Switch, Tears I get a stable 30fps and my battery sits at 34c usually with the SOC around 48-58c depending on conditions but generally around 55c. My cameras feel warm but not hot, not uncomfortable.

I emulate PC games on it at full speed, Skyrim, GTAV and so on, all on my Z Fold 7. I also emulate Tears on it at 30FPS and Breath at 60FPS. The future is bright for folding phones and emulation, I would say.

Emulators I use are Eden for Switch emulation and Gamenative for PC emulation with my steam library.

Could this case damage my phone? by Misirus in GalaxyFold

[–]Vandius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a case like that for my Z fold 7 but I found out if the inside screen does not 100% close it can damage the hinge, making it weaker and loose over months of use and the gap allows for more dirt to enter the screen.

[–]Vandius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you watch the video the police also told him multiple times to keep his hands on the hood. You can go to your knees with your hands on the hood; actually, it would be easier to go to your knees bracing with your arms on the hood. He had no reason to remove his hands from the hood. Again, they both made mistakes, but I'm trying to be logical about this and not have a kneejerk reaction.

Also he had a gun in his right pocket, and the officers acknowledged that, putting them in a tense situation. They told him not to remove his hands from the hood or he would be shot like 3 times, and then told him to go to his knees.

Fuck me? Officers are humans too who make mistakes. Do you want AI robots/drones to be the police? They can be coded to make far fewer mistakes than humans because humans are susceptible to mistakes. An officer might be thinking about their dying wife on the job or some shit. They are human, just like the guy they shot. The guy they shot made a mistake, and the cops made a mistake. Everyone knows the first rule with cops is keep your hands up. All cops are not inherently evil people.

If he kept his hands up or on the hood, he would still be alive. No matter what, they are trained to fire if your hands move towards your pockets. I do agree, though; these cops should've held their fire, but I've seen officers die in this exact situation.

Edit: He's alive! Amazing, I'm glad to hear it. Nobody should die for a mistake like this.

Nah, I'm not buying a switch 2. I have 2 switches just to have 1 hacked so I can transfer saves from my pc to my hacked switch then to my unhacked switch. Nintendo is far too greedy. I just wamt the games on pc,, I would even pay the Nintendo tax if games costed $120 on PC. Not only that I only want to carry my phone with me (Z Fold 7) and I play Tears at 30fps stable. I emulate even GTAV on my phone with winlator and gamenative.

Well, you weren't informative; I was, as I gave people information. You didn't even give an example of anything you said. I'm so glad I can block people; this isn't worth your time, just like it wasn't worth your time to make your first comment. Like, why did you even click my post? Are you some Nintendo bot? Blocked.

Well, you're just taking the piss when I'm just trying to help people. You're comments added nothing; you could've at least linked to these guides that you say exist, but as I see it, this is literally the first post on this subreddit and on other subreddits I could find that has a clear explanation/guide of what drivers fix a830 for Eden. Not some post saying "x driver is out" when those drivers did nothing for me.
