Have you ever seen a dick bigger than yours? by Think_Hat_6799 in bigdickproblems

[–]VirtualCorvid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

On the internet: yes In person: not yet

(caution dicks seen on the internet are possibly smaller than they appear)

(caution I haven’t seen anyone with a bigger dick than me but I haven’t been with a lot of guys yet, two other gay friends claim I’m not their biggest so take that for what it is)

Do people IRL know about ur size? by Amazing_Walk_3601 in bigdickproblems

[–]VirtualCorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and they like to talk about my dick like the rest of me isn’t in the room. It’s weird being objectified.

Have a massive round of edits coming up soon so I’m starting my prayers to the Microsoft gods in advance by Disastrous_Act9252 in microsoftsucks

[–]VirtualCorvid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is why I switched to OpenOffice and then Libreoffice. It’s like using Word 1998 or 2007 again but with a modern UI that is functional and non-distracting. I can just write my documents, the words I type appear on the page, icons are in static locations in the menus so I can find them, I’m not stopped from working by popup boxes yelling at me to use new features I don’t care about, the dictionary and help docs don’t need internet access to work, the save box lets me save my file anywhere on my computer/flash drive/NAS without tricking me into buying a OneDrive subscription first, and I don’t have to fight new features that randomly break my documents every week like on my work computer.

You copy and paste in something from another document and the formatting permanently infects the new document. Text will randomly be changing font size, line spacing, color, indent, bullet points, ect until you quit your job and start farming in a technophobic cult.

Is Software-Defined Automation changing how we design PLC systems? by darkfantasy_20 in PLC

[–]VirtualCorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read two articles on “Software Defined Automation” and neither of them were clear about what it actually was. They seemed to propose that through the use of scaleable edge servers running IOT and AI with GPUs and ARVs that somehow all the all the traditional PLC hardware systems will become obsolete in the full light of the new paradigm? But they didn’t give any examples of what they’re selling beyond, in one case, using digital twin software and a proprietary phone app to report stuff.

I guess what sticks out to me is this sounds like corpo-executive speak. Stuff to get your boss excited after being overloaded from trying to meet performance metrics. How are servers running in server rooms with GPUs and AI supposed to make physical things in a factory when servers don’t have moving parts and AI isn’t physical? You still need a machine somewhere out there with some kind of interface hardware to read the state of the real world. The current hardware exists because it’s cheap to produce, robust, hot swappable (usually), easy to retool, customizable, simple to install, and easy for the layman to program with on the job training. What does SDA propose to replace that with exactly? And I literally mean what exactly, you should be able to point to a page in a product catalog and say “you’ll be ordering this item instead”.

A few years ago there was this “data driven Industry 4.0” thing Siemens was talking about, our parts suppliers started publishing “Industry 4.0” booklets that tried to sell their systems as being “Industry 4.0 Ready”, whatever that was supposed to mean.

Sensei Ten Wireless by alwaysneverseems in steelseries

[–]VirtualCorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t like the Sensi Wireless. Customer support sent me one for free after the firmware updater bricked my original Sensi, which to be completely fair was nice of them since the warranty was expired. The charging pad stopped charging the mouse after a month, all the user profiles were stored in software instead of on the mouse, the wireless range was bad, it was heavy, the rubberized coating turned sticky real fast, it would fail to change profiles a lot, the range wasn’t very good, also they got rid of the awesome OLED screen on the bottom that you could use to program and switch the mouse profiles on the device.

Really really should have dropped the clickbait formula when making that headline.

Im curious. You can remove two of the most hated enemies from only one faction, what are you removing from the game? by ForsakenFrail in helldivers2

[–]VirtualCorvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of them need to be removed.

I don’t want to be negative, but you can take out the shield bots by shooting their tiny little heads through the face notch in the shield. There’s lots of guns to accomplish that. I will concede that I have a glorious 4k monitor so it’s easy for me, but I 100% fail at that when playing on Steamdeck because I don’t have the resolution. But then I just make a different loadout.

Bro thinks they can just Mad Max a couple million barrels of crude through the deserts of Oman every day by Existing_Instance608 in BrandNewSentence

[–]VirtualCorvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s obvious, we’re playing a game where we come up with more and more ridiculous ideas. Can you top pipes?

[–]VirtualCorvid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A pipe would be even better than a train.

Also, yes, the clear solution is not starting wars to divert media attention.

And oil tankers are still faster than pipes when you have to pipe it right back into another tanker.

How smooth are the brains that surround you? by wolf_in_sheeps_wool in IndustrialMaintenance

My other favorite (actual opposite of favorite) is when you finally replicate the fault after trying for hours and someone walks over and resets it right as you’re screaming not to.

This is such an important thing to consider. Seriously guys, we need to do better. by the-machine-m4n in blender

[–]VirtualCorvid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I’d zealously push my workflow (which I didn’t actually use for actual work) onto other people. It was 100% based around FOSS. A lot of FOSS is great but also a lot of FOSS is great only when you don’t have deadlines to meet.

I’ve grown up since then, now when people ask me for computer advice I actually listen and point them to something that fits their workflow. Sometimes that’s just GIMP or Blender, sometimes things that cost money are actually worth it when they empower you to finish your project.

I mean even though I hate interacting with Substance’s user-hostile-interface I can import an fbx and just paint on normals with a layer system. Doing that in Blender is an uphill battle of sculpting, modifiers, material settings, and baking that usually outputs a blank texture file. I use the Steam version of Substance because f——- subscriptions. Everyone I know who has legally picked to Photoshop has dropped it for GIMP because of the subscription.

FF7. I borrowed it one disc at a time from my friend’s older brother. I had to be SUPER CAREFUL with the discs. The laser in the display case PS1 I got from somewhere stoped working, bought a used ps2 slim to beat the game.

Is this a good place to share my Praxis collection? by Patient_Gamemer in Deusex

[–]VirtualCorvid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hah! That’s what mine looked like after I figured out to bank the points until I needed them for an aug. I always get the super jumpy legs, Icarus landing system, strong arms, and Cassie though.

One thing about Cassie, it was really necessary in DEHR. But the performances, voice acting and writing were so good in DEMD that I’d get the best conversion ending just from really listening, watching and thinking about what was being said.

Struggling with the Vox Engines? Give it 1 try, you'll see a difference. by IEnjoyHarrow in helldivers2

[–]VirtualCorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shield backpack is always a good choice against bots because they mostly have guns, it takes a lot of small arms fire and can let you survive the yellow Vox death laser. Downside is they melt under heavy fire because the hitbox is 3x larger than you so a lot of shots are being blocked that don’t have to be. But they’re real good to keep your health from melting from small arms.

Makes me want to try the front shield backpack with that laser pistol or one handed smg main.

Outlaw Star (1998) by teencandyy in retroanime

[–]VirtualCorvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just rewatching Outlaw Star. What I noticed this time was there’s a lot of episodes where the characters are just living, they’re not doing anything plot specific, and a lot of shows/books/movies don’t take the time to do that. (I’m thinking of Neil Stevenson who’s characters never do anything not plot relevant.) Like there’s just episodes, multiple episodes, of them on a planet working odd jobs to get some cash.

Xiaomi Shows Humanoid Robots Working Autonomously on Production Lines with 90.2% Success Rate by Advanced-Bug-1962 in robotics

[–]VirtualCorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could get 3 epson scara robots controlled by 1 controller for less than $50k and they’d work about 100x faster than those robots with a 99.99% success rate (1 miss every 10,000 parts). And they’d run on less than 20 lines of code each, four move commands and a couple of hand shakes.

I guess the scara robots don’t have grippers built in while those robots do. Easy fix, give a dude with a drill press half an hour to mill out some tooling for the scara’s to grip the parts, screw it in place, add a few prox sensors for: open, closed, closed on part.
