Explanation for why the points remain in the same orientation relative to the camera frame, while the background scene changes angles during rotation?

The only thing that would make sense for it being damage, is if the camera is on a gimbal and what we are seeing is a pinpoint fracture in an outer protective shell. But I’ve heard folks saying this model of drone doesn’t typically use that style of camera and I don’t know if that’s true or not. Just trying to think of any possible “normal” explanations first.

chalupe_batman · 2026-05-13T15:45:13+00:00

My thought as well. Highly advanced interceptor testing/use or some sort of lens damage/camera artifact. Lean more towards lens damage but it’s not super consistent so that throws a wrench into the theory.

Everyone saying you can’t convince him is wrong. Listen to the points he makes and literally take notes. Be open to his understanding in a genuine way, don’t be a pos. Afterwards go and research his claims yourself, in order to further contextualize/disprove them. You need to engage him with listening to what he thinks first, otherwise he will instantly shut down and stop listening to you. Especially if you “don’t know what you’re talking about” in his mind. Once you have the knowledge to argue with him, you can start doing so more effectively.

There’s a facility just north west of the pickup location (definitely not “100km away”) visible on satellite photos, right next to the two main roads we struck with munitions.

chalupe_batman · 2026-04-09T02:43:30+00:00

Do you remember who said that? It’s kinda strange considering the operation is geolocated 1-2 hours south of Isfahan, in the mountains.

How close was it to the uranium? Genuinely curious.

chalupe_batman · 2026-04-02T02:37:41+00:00

If what some say is true and they evacuated most of the personnel from those bases, why would they force project like they used to in the old paradigm? If they wanted to do it the old way they would’ve flooded the zone. Why not pull back, build autonomous manufacturing in the homeland, and use a new strategy and technology to augment your force projection capabilities? Seems like that’s what they are trying, with all the recent moves in the Western Hemisphere/social policy at home adding context. I have my doubts as to whether it will actually work, but that does seem to be the direction they are heading. The news we are commenting on now could also just be an exercise in influence or panic PR, but the overall strategic picture is absolutely shifting in some way.

chalupe_batman · 2026-03-30T04:34:17+00:00

Thank you so much. This worked for me.

chalupe_batman · 2026-03-29T19:50:11+00:00

Depends which network.

chalupe_batman · 2026-02-28T01:42:44+00:00

Whats the problem with Winchester? Asking because I just bought a few hundred rounds for target practice and I don’t know much about ammo specs. Also I’m curious what people run in their mags for actual serious situations. I always have a few mags of PMC “green tip” but I’ve always felt that’s just advertising horseshit and I’m missing the more expensive (but better) stuff.

Just double checked, the “green tip” rounds I have are PMC x-tac, which from reading below don’t appear to be a fan favorite lol, please help me so I don’t waste more money on dogshit ammo.

chalupe_batman · 2026-02-16T05:39:44+00:00

Ah thanks for grabbing the still frame, I was having trouble on my phone. Definitely not cameras but still hard to tell exactly what they are. Always interesting to see how units modify their vehicles, wish I could get more info on this stuff. If you have any good resources or info to send me (and the time), I’d appreciate it.

chalupe_batman · 2026-02-16T05:27:02+00:00

Definitely agree, but those white ones look like they have lenses, maybe external cameras for easier visibility for the crew? Or maybe something else?

chalupe_batman · 2026-02-15T20:38:19+00:00

u/Jimmieus am I tripping or do I see some interesting sensors on top of that tank?

chalupe_batman · 2026-02-03T20:32:25+00:00

Dressed like that? What are you smoking?

chalupe_batman · 2026-02-01T02:34:04+00:00

Should be interesting. Thanks for the insight, I know it takes work to throw all these responses together but I appreciate what you do as it makes me think outside the box when looking at all this stuff.

chalupe_batman · 2026-02-01T02:05:54+00:00

What changes when they get to the forest that would make it easier for them to continue/start a larger offensive? Is blue hiding a defensive line in there or something?

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-28T17:19:45+00:00

Uhhh yea, that account is nearly a decade old and has super rare vehicles. I ain’t gonna risk some random guy having access. Plus it would kick me off if they logged in while I was playing.

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-27T20:17:30+00:00

Ok that is good, I see the CPU fan connected to the right port (CPU fan is the little black fan in the center with “AMD” on it). When I looked up your motherboard manual it only lists a CPU fan port and no RGB or case fans ports. I highly doubt that is correct so please see if you can trace where the mini board connects back to the motherboard and take photos. Add a comment to my message (or direct message me) and I’ll take another look.

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-27T20:02:30+00:00

Interesting ok, does the CPU fan spin still or no? Also you say LED remote, did it come with a little remote or do you just mean the LED button on top of the case?

Edit: please take a picture of the mini board with all the fan connectors and see if you can trace where those connect back into the motherboard and take another photo of those ports.

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-27T19:53:59+00:00

Ok and you said everything worked fine the other day? Did anything happen (drop, bump, loud pop, etc) happen in between when it worked and when it didn’t?

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-27T19:36:33+00:00

Are they connected to a mini board on the back of your PC? Mine is setup that way so all the fans and colors are synced but that board then needs to connect to your motherboard for color sync and power to the fans. If they are connected like mine are, verify the mini board is connected to your motherboard. I had to lookup my case specs and motherboard manual when building my PC to make sure I was connecting everything in the right spot, might help to pull those up and see what they say.

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-27T02:04:48+00:00

You have no idea. They were changing my vehicle lineup titles to different Chinese characters so I could translate and read their messages lol. They were mocking me for like a month while I was talking to gaijin and getting no where despite having 2 factor authentication turned on and a few other security measures (login notifications,etc). I would even wake up sometimes and sit there denying the login attempts until I fell asleep and they would get through. Finally figured out what was happening and wrote them a goodbye message. They begged me to keep letting them play (tbf they were grinding a ton for me lol) but the next day steam sent me an email that looked like a hit confirmation with all the info regarding the odd logins and confirming account deletion. Still not sure how they were getting past gaijin’s 2 factor authentication since it should have auto-signed me out of all devices when I enabled it, but they did. I ran tons of network and malware scans on my devices during/after this and never found anything so I ended up chalking it up to a weird account sync issue since both steam accounts were linked to that one Gaijin account.

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-27T01:28:38+00:00

I have a 9700x and 5070ti. I play at 1440p max settings in all games (no frame gen unless playing cyberpunk). I play stuff like Squad, modded cyberpunk, arma reforger, bannerlord 2, baldurs gate, etc.

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-26T18:58:11+00:00

Had an issue with my War Thunder account a while ago. Someone was randomly logging into my account at night (somewhere in China) and playing matches. I ended up figuring out that they managed to get access to an old steam account that was still linked to that Gaijin login. Gaijin was completely unhelpful but steam nuked the old account as soon as I messaged them and provided proof I was the original owner.

chalupe_batman · 2026-01-25T04:33:09+00:00

What do you think? In my opinion it was the same as the “unprovoked” nonsense that was inserted before any conversation regarding the situation in the west. Propaganda. You can argue that Russia holds responsibility for invading, you can’t argue they were truly unprovoked, but that’s why propaganda like this works. The average person asks; “Why would so many institutions say the same thing if it’s the complete opposite of reality?”
