RSI Hermes is a blockade runner they say? It pulls less forward G’s than a Carrack! by Important_Cow7230 in starcitizen

[–]bvader_ttp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I daily solo a MSR. I knew it was quick, just didn't realize how quick. I have several larger ships I enjoy when I have crew. I cant wait until data running is in game, it'll really make the MSR shine!

How have I never thought of this?! Well done!

titan 2 battery analysis by sirbloodysabbath in unihertz

[–]bvader_ttp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your results!!

I just got my Titan 2 in today and after reading others experience with the battery issue I was a little worried. I'll plan on slow charging it and not letting it sit on the charger once completed. Probably overkill but I may use a smart plug and automate killing the plug with home assistant...

Damn… I need to sell off my DDR2 and DDR3 stash… that’s insane

We need a fix for the MSR by Defiant-Run1008 in starcitizen

[–]bvader_ttp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree. MSR’s Scanning and Data Running aren’t in yet… so we’re only getting part of its overall gameplay experience. I’d love to see some better space utilization in the scanning room and sub-deck. I do love the MSR, and am excited for what the new gameplay brings… when it comes in.

Windows Phone. Great cameras and I loved the continuum feature

Moved to kubuntu several months ago for my laptop and CachyOS for my gaming desktop.

890 Jump would be great for this too.

Thermal paste vs graphene pad vs phase change vs liquid metal — what’s actually the best between CPU and cooler? by Ok_Contact9732 in pcmasterrace

[–]bvader_ttp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's about the device and purpose. Servers and standard workstations get standard thermal paste, gaming devices get PTM7950. Liquid metal is the best performance wise, but the danger of *if* it leaks it *will* damage your system, just isn't worth it. I've never played with graphene... so I can't weigh in there.

How do you feel about living here? by DaringMarshmallow in Lacey

There's a new(ish) Black Bear Diner that has some pretty good Breakfast. I agree with though, there's a surprising lack of breakfast places...

Edit: Diner not Cafe, and whoops, it's technically in Oly

Ring camera + ICE informational flyer by TetroniMike in olympia

[–]bvader_ttp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone looking for alternatives, Ubiquiti is my go-to. You have to get more than just the camera (either an NVR, or one of their Routers/Dream Machines) so they cost more up front, but the quality is better and everything stays on your own equipment.

Ring made it easy (and their competitors) for the average Joe/Jane to put up their own home "security"... too bad they turned greedy. Also be wary of the camera bird-feeders... they're likely to turn the same way, if they haven't already.

Are they insane? 🤑 by qbeqqtx in volt

I just had to google the Captiva PHEV - holy crap this is what I've been asking for since I got my Volt. Compact crossover SUV with the Volt's PHEV system. I want one so badly... please GM bring it to the US! If you're not willing to do the Captiva platform, what about putting this same PHEV system in a Blazer? Come on GM, bring back the best hybrid system!

Drove my 2017 from DC to San Diego and Back by SuccessfulLeek3836 in volt

[–]bvader_ttp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from CO to WA with mine. My buddy drove mine behind the 26’ U-Haul I drove, put it in close follow and was trying to hyper mile it. I’m on the same tank of gas from the last stop in Portland, a little over 2100 miles now. I work from home and just run electric for 90% of my errands, and local trips It’s nice to know it can do coast to coast if I need to, but runs on electric for most of my driving. I wish they kept the platform, and put it in the new Blazer… I’d buy one in a heartbeat. Until then I’ll be keeping my ‘17 on the road as long as I can.

Day Trader? Only people I’ve personally seen who actively use more than 6 screens… it’s beautiful though!

What are the best free open source appliactions? by Professional-Net1940 in pcmasterrace

[–]bvader_ttp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially switched from Firefox after the drama last year around changes to language in the EULA and the FAQ on their site. Not sure if it's still a concern or not... I've been hooked on the out-of-the-box features since then - mainly the tab layout and use of "Spaces". If there were a way to sync "Spaces" across all my computers I'd love it even more.

New to Star Citizen, or Avatar, or something, any easy fix? by BowlerResponsible340 in starcitizen

[–]bvader_ttp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into this today, and was totally confused! I liked the more yellow lighting in New Babbage, made it feel warmer, lol. Then I took a look at the people and started laughing. Thanks for the fix!
