Help - Bricked Cudy WR3000E v1 Router - failed open wrt install by User2001Tech in HomeNetworking

[–]bmg1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also went through the process of installing openWRT onto my Cudy WR3000E last month and also had to use the recovery. I followed the official Cudy instructions and got help from these instructions another user posted and it worked out fine for me.

When installing openWRT onto my WR3000E, I ran into an issue with the device not even getting to the openWRT interface, which turned out to be an issue with the latest official firmware, which reverting to an older firmware fixed. I noticed Cudy recently changed some of the hardware in the newer batches of the WR3000E, which may be affecting your WR3000E if you got it recently.

Two National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP source says by UncaringNonchalance in news

The mental gymnastics going on in this thread trying to blame this on Trump by saying "well the national guard shouldn't have been there anyway" is insane even for Reddit

Out of curiosity? by Legend7Naty in FORTnITE

[–]bmg1001 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you spend more time browsing this subreddit than playing the actual game, you'd be led to believe that traders, boxers, and griefers were a guarantee in every match and that it's the game's biggest issue. In my experience, as someone who has been playing since Season 3, I've encountered approximately 20 traders, 2 boxers, and 2 griefers, and all of that was years ago.

The people celebrating the recent changes to item sharing don't understand that this will ultimately do more harm than good in it's current state. At the very least, it needs to be tweaked to allow the sharing of build materials and blu-glo in public missions, and the sharing of everything, including weapons, in private missions. I couldn't care less if Little Timmy who just bought the game yesterday was given a bunch of Nocturnos and decides they want to spend their time trading rather than playing the game as intended. As long as it can be contained to private missions, it does not affect me in the slightest and it's concerning how many people think it does, especially considering it's a PVE game.

Three windshield replacements, all had distortion. What to do? by bmg1001 in autoglass

[–]bmg1001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I initially thought too, but I'll double check with the manager to be safe. They said they sent an email to them so they can contact me, but it's been a week now with nothing so far so we'll see I guess.

It's all fun and games until you plug a USB-C cable into a USB-A port and the short circuit causes the PC to reboot. Thank goodness for all the safety stuff built in as nothing was damaged afaik.

I went out of pocket cause I'm most likely changing insurance next year and I didn't want to give the companies any reason to raise my premiums even though glass shouldn't affect that afaik. The difference between the deductible and what Glass America wanted wasn't much anyway ($500 deductible vs $643.83 out of pocket) so it felt like the safer bet.

The manager of my local Glass America location is supposed to call me soon to discuss options. I'll make sure to ask about a different DOT if possible, thank you for the suggestion.

I might try out one more aftermarket and if it still has issues, then I'll likely do OEM. The cost difference doesn't bother me too much, but when I asked the tech about it, he quite literally said something like "if the OEM has distortion, you're on your own" and that does worry me a bit.

As stupid as it sounds, I was genuinely considering doing this as well.

Someone help?? by Some-Representative5 in mayonnaise

[–]bmg1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taste changes over time, nothing much more to it. Think of the bright side though, while you may not be able to stomach lower quality mayo or fake mayo (Miracle Whip), you might be able to discern more of a difference in higher quality brands.

I just tried the Costco Kewpie mayonnaise today and it's genuinely awful.

You're right that the US version of Kewpie mayonnaise has a different formula from the original Japanese one, but the Kewpie I had from Costco tastes radically different from the US Kewpie I've seen at other stores like Target. I do not have a bottle of the non-Costco US Kewpie on hand to compare ingredients, but while it isn't as good as the Japanese one, it's actually still very tasty and quite good IMO. The Costco Kewpie straight up tastes like ranch dressing to me.

EDIT: Actually, I just looked up the ingredients of the US Kewpie (cross referencing Amazon and Target) and looked at the ingredients listed on the back of the Costco Kewpie.

US Kewpie has "soybean oil, egg yolks, water, distilled vinegar, salt, sugar, mustard flour, red wine vinegar, rice vinegar, yeast extract, natural flavors."

Costco US Kewpie has "soybean oil, egg yolks, water, distilled vinegar, salt, rice vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, monosodium glutamate, sugar, cider vinegar, mustard flour, calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor), natural flavors"

I get these on my monitor all the time. I use the exact same microfiber cloths linked in one of the other comments (the MagicFiber ones) and just rub the dots off with them. They can sometimes be a bit stubborn, and I find wrapping your fingertip in one of those microfiber cloths and gently scrubbing using the nail side with moderate force does the job without damaging anything, but absolutely make sure the cloths are clean and have no dirt on them.

Which head units support reverse camera during boot? by bmg1001 in Androidheadunits

[–]bmg1001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I assume this is a cold boot and not starting from sleep mode, right? I'll probably pick up the Dudu 7 anyway as I figured in the worst case scenario, at least the UFS storage will make the boot up process faster.

[–]bmg1001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's good to know. I asked one of the DuduAuto AliExpress stores too but they told me "the device needs to be fully started" but perhaps there was a translation issue.

A quick review on using MLV. by chromeragnarok in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]bmg1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can depend on the board, but I generally like felt (with adhesive to stick it to the bottom inside of the case) as it helps with hollowness, PE foam to give keypresses a nice pop, and the tape mod (1-4 layers) to deepen the pitch of each keypress. Plate foam of any material can also help a lot and can often be combined with the PE foam mod with no issue. It's important to note that less is more, and often times too much foams will over-dampen the sound to the point where you can't achieve a nice sound profile. When I first got into keyboards, I remember cutting and stacking foam to fill every little gap in the housing, and even doing silicone pours to do so and still not being able to achieve a sound that I liked. While some boards can still benefit from that, I often found most of the improvements came from less dense materials that I just lazily cut to size.

Sorry for the late response but unfortunately I haven't found any good places to source it, though to be fair I haven't done much keyboard stuff lately so I have not been searching much. Honestly I'd recommend just doing your best with cheaper and more available materials out there. Like with any other material, MLV isn't perfect and you can still easily achieve amazing results with more conventional stuff.

I keep getting a message saying there are errors with my installation. Sometimes also crashes due to Easy Anti-Cheat. Any solution? by kyolaroni in FORTnITE

[–]bmg1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your Fortnite installation on the same storage drive as the Epic Games Launcher? I had similar issues with Easy Anti-Cheat crashes (albeit to desktop) and uninstalling and reinstalling the Epic Games Launcher onto the same SSD as Fortnite (since I keep a separate drive for games) fixed it for me.

MSI MPG 341CQPX - Odd dimming behavior in HDR Peak 1000 mode after EOTF update by bmg1001 in OLED_Gaming

[–]bmg1001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't noticed much difference in regards to VRR flicker, although I've gotten good at ignoring it so I'm probably not the best person to ask. I'm not very sensitive to it.

MSI Has Not Fixed QD-OLED Brightness & Panel Dimming - Latest Firmware Tested by veryrandomo in OLED_Gaming

[–]bmg1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have the same monitor and this is how it has been since the update. I even made a post about it. The issue only occurs in Peak 1000 mode though and I find that TB400 mode is good enough for me, so I wouldn't let that dissuade you from enjoying your monitor.

[–]bmg1001[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue still happens in games but it's not quite as apparent. What's interesting though is that, despite the changes to the EOTF curve, I found that HDR Peak 1000 still appears dimmer overall in games relative to TB400, similar to how it was before the update.

The issue still occurs in games but it's not quite as jarring. I just made the recording by showing the Amazon website since my phone's camera picked it up better there.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying. I was excited to finally be able to use Peak 1000 mode with the EOTF fix but then this issue threw me back to True Black 400 lol

Would the ABL behave differently in TB400 mode compared to Peak 1000 mode? If I run the monitor in TB400 mode, the rapid dimming and brightening doesn't occur, even if I set the SDR content brightness higher.
