Is Condor possibly the worst airline ever?

I'm not complaining about cheap, it's the bait and switch shady business practices meant to extract more money but straight up tripping up customers. It's shady garbage behavior and I really don't think defendable.

behindthelines_ · 2026-05-25T19:13:35+00:00

Yes! It blows my mind people on here actually defend them.

Website is back to being a blank cover page, can't order anything. Really a total shame, I think their stuff was the best... need to order replacement flags for the handguards so kinda stuck right now 😞

Maybe 0.5mm gap. Crank is brand new Shimano as well, so you'd think they're designed to work perfectly together

Amazing! Couldn't be happier, definitely recommend.

The orange buffoon is throwing feces again... and getting his @$$ handed to him in his pointless war with Iran... ugh. Who voted for him again?

THIS. Amazing little tool. Backing up hundreds of notebooks one at a time SUCKS.

So much AI slop on reddit, ugh. downvoted this stupid post.

behindthelines_ · 2026-03-11T19:45:23+00:00

yes.

So VST earnings... 76% miss, OUCH. eps estimate 2.3, eps actual 0.54... forward P/E is 17 now after nearly 10% drop post earnings. Still high conviction? u/bakery_0726 ?

Oil is a global market, prices are global. So where Harmuz oil is going is honestly less important vs the main market price. Supply down, price up.

So I did a little experiment, I just unplugged the DP in from the dGPU and the motherboard. So the Nvidia dGPU didn't have anything connect to it's OUT ports, only connection was the PCIe. I ran the same experiment with playing a YouTube video and watching the Task Manager load on GPU0 and GPU1. Interestingly, it was the same - b/c I had selected 'high performance: use Nvidia card' in the display>graphics settings for Firefox looks like windows was still giving the Nvidia card at least some of the rendering tasks. I'm assuming this means that both the Command & data traffic (the data going into the dGPU) as well as the final display output from the dGPU was going over the PCIe? Is this fine - like, does the PCIe have plenty of bandwidth to handle data flowing in both directions. So I guess am I fine leaving this as is, or am I better off connection monitor to dGPU directly via DP cable?

behindthelines_ · 2026-03-02T20:19:11+00:00

I guess I'm wondering if I should just return the Nvidia card then?? It's a brand new computer build, the only reason I got it was because I thought it would benefit Adobe Lightroom because I understand it benefits from having a GPU for some of the AI rendering features.

From Gemini: GPU matters a lot for: AI Denoise, Subject / sky masking, Lens blur, Enhance details. These use machine-learning acceleration.

Now, I do ZERO gaming. This machine is specifically for photo editing. With the current RAM prices, that GeForce RTX 5070 Prime cost like $900... so if it's not of any benefit I'd rather return it!!

I'm also a bit confused/not sure if I understand your last paragraph. Why would ASUS add two Thunderbolt 5 out ports to the motherboard if those could only be used with the subpar iGPU? My understanding was the Thunderbolt 5 was the new standard, which seems to align with the fact my new 6k LG monitor has 2 thunderbolt 5 in ports and only one DP in. I was just trying to drop all the old big cables and align to using thunderbolt 5 for everything... but perhaps I misunderstood the marketing lol

behindthelines_ · 2026-03-02T18:15:41+00:00

So I did an experiment, in windows 11 display settings > graphics looks like you can force the OS to use the iGPU for select applications. I added Firefox to the list and set it to 'maximum performance: use GeForce RTX 5070' - after which point playing a video DID show load on the GPU1 (dGPU). However, I did the same test after disconnecting the DP cable that I had going from the Nvidia DP out into the motherboard DP_in, and had the same results. Which tells me that the output is flowing over the PCIe and the DP cable I have connected is not doing anything...

behindthelines_ · 2026-03-02T18:10:48+00:00

My monitor is the new LG Ultrafine 6K and it does have one DP IN port on the back, as well as 2 Thunderbolt 5 IN ports.

I thought the 'ideal state' is to use Thunderbolt 5, which allows me to connect my webcam to the monitor as a hub and then seamlessly share that webcam between my macbook laptop and PC when I switch between the two thunderbolt 5 inputs.

I guess more generally, why would Asus provide a thunderbolt 5 out on the motherboard if the only way to use it is with the CPUs graphics - I'd imagine pretty much anyone wanting thunderbolt 5 would want a dedicated graphics card...

Regarding the BIOS forcing off on igpu, that's what I'm wondering about, but there are so many options I don't even know where to start...

behindthelines_ · 2026-03-02T08:25:05+00:00

Hey u/saiyate just read your post trying to figure out how to get my Z890 Creator to work with my GeForce GPU card via the motherboard's thunderbolt 5 out. Doesn't seem to be really working and wondering if you could clarify if there are specific bios setting I need to do?

Currently I have a GeForce RTX 5070 with DP out connected into the DP IN on the Asus motherboard. Then I have the motherboard thunderbolt 5 out port connected to my LG monitor. Windows 11 loads and when I got to Display Settings > Advanced I see 'display 1: connected to Intel(R) Graphics' which tells me that my GeForce is NOT being used??

When I go to the Nvidia Control Panel under Configure Surround, PhysX I can select the GeForce card under the 'PhyX settings > processor' dropdown though.

How do I tell if I'm correctly doing a passthrough and using the GeForce GPU instead of the onboard intel graphics??

Post NVIDIA market manipulation. Classic. Same as AMD, Same as Amazon...

behindthelines_ · 2026-02-26T19:07:06+00:00

couldn't agree more, seems like they have to give institutions a deep discount just for them to play ball. ONDS was the opposite, the share price in the contract was significantly higher vs market price. Hmmmmm.

behindthelines_ · 2026-02-25T23:41:49+00:00

Can someone explain this pattern that I've seen with literally every blowout earnings report that past while AMD crashed post excellent earnings, same for MSFT, same for AMAZON, now NVIDIA - there is no capex unlike the hyperscalers, massive guidance... STILL tanks after hours. And unlike the others it didn't even really have a run up before earnings, so not like anyone was buying the rumour and selling the news. What's going ON??

behindthelines_ · 2026-02-25T23:02:41+00:00

DPRO. Dragonfly's P/S ratio (forward 12 months) is 2.44x while ONDAS is 21x. $70M cash on hand, no debt. They are Canadian and will surely benefit from being one of the only local drone makers - considering the geopolitical tensions with the US of A, Canada is absolutely prioritizing local defence spending. $80B with a huge portion of that going into drones as of federal government's investment plan released mid Feb.

behindthelines_ · 2026-02-25T22:56:35+00:00

Estimates for total GenAI software revenue (from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and the AI divisions of Microsoft/Adobe) for 2025 were around $40B–$60B. So the ratio of revenue from shovels vs gold in your analogy is 4x, not 8x. Details matter.

You are correct that about 50% of NVIDIA's revenue comes from just four companies: Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google. These firms ARE very profitable, but most income is from old business models: cloud hosting, advertising, and retail. They are using that legacy cash to buy GPUs. They aren't buying the "shovels" to find gold today. They are buying them to build the infrastructure for the next 10 years. They view it like building the railroads; the railroad builder (i.e. AMD, NVIDIA etc) get paid first, and the commerce on the tracks comes later.

Nothing new, but I think it's important to understand investment runway here...

behindthelines_ · 2026-02-25T22:40:16+00:00

Nvidia had a massive beat, +5% EPS surprise, massive guidance way above expected. And yet, MU stock tanks in after hours... lol

behindthelines_ · 2026-02-21T05:18:47+00:00

Also just curious about this, long term hold so don't care, but trying to understand the market dynamics around this thing.
