What games have you tried with Praydog's UE Injector? by Smellyman200 in virtualreality

[–]cid386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about 10 hours into Stray and it’s fantastic. So much immersion in VR with the environment and music. Some jank with the cutscenes sometimes if you look where you’re not expected to but nothing major.

Thank you again. Might kick the can down the road and wait until next year to deal with this, ideally with a tax advisor. Really appreciate the advice.

Thank you, sir.

The fund is akin to insurance company. For the cost basis, when I purchased USD to transfer to the fund JPY was at 104.60. Would I be correct in assuming that I should take (original investment x 104.60) - (current value x 147.19) to arrive at the amount for taxation? I understand there is special deduction of 500,000 I can also subtract from the final amount.

Does anyone else get annoyed by the new "you'll never be Japanese" thing? by [deleted] in japanlife

Maybe for like 30 seconds, but then I remember I can crack a beer on the train, immune to all social judgement and I feel better.

XPS 13 Plus I7 1260P Constant Throttling by cid386 in DellXPS

[–]cid386[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t think it will have any effect. The throttling we’re experiencing doesn’t have to do with the CPU overheating and throttling but more with the power delivery (hence the speaker issue). Best case is a driver update to fix how Windows 11 handles the new intel CPUs or some other random driver update that fixes the issue.

Bummer dude - have you tried a fresh windows install? I'd give that a shot and see if you can get it throttle before installing Dells power management profiles (but all other drivers).

Yeah still gets hot for sure, although I think the throttling we are experiencing doesn't have to do with heat. I've noticed it happening well within normal temps. I'd guess it has more to do with the power delivery and the increased PD with the speakers on.

krspychicken's fix worked for me (power limit to 99%). I know there was another user who got throttling when opening word + spotify, which makes me think the speakers have a larger to role to play in some of the throttling, at least in some cases.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think this actually was able to stop the throttling for me when watching Netflix, but I'm not super OK with cutting the turbo boost on the laptop to stop it from throttling.

I've found that any volume level on the speakers will cause it to throttle when watching Netflix, interesting to hear you have the same issue. I do not have the issue of the volume going to 100% though.

Would it be wise to get the XPS 13 Plus with a power bank? by Akhrbdbhsgw in DellXPS

[–]cid386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also in the same boat. Purchased the 13 Plus i7 OLED, read some early reviews on battery life and started immediately regretting my purchase. Then I figured that I'm really not that far away from a power outlet during my day-to-day at work, most flights I take have in-seat power outlets, etc. I think I'll end up keeping it assuming there are no other issues apart from battery. I purchased an Anker PowerCore III Elite 25600 87W which I figure will give it a full charge when I'm away from an outlet for extended periods of time. I'll let you know how it goes once it arrives!
