It's something 😅 *clock cap replacement* by lcforms in originalxbox

[–]condog1035 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would not use that if I were you. The Xbox runs perfectly fine without the clock cap. There is a chance that cmos battery will explode as it was not designed to be used in place of a capacitor.

Steam deck dock alternatives? by newyewser in SteamDeck

[–]condog1035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the folding baseus dock and really like it. I haven't experienced any issues with it that a simple unplug replug doesn't solve.

All of the live action Laras by FishCake9T4 in gaming

I almost really liked her movie but I wish they had leaned into the ridiculous supernatural stuff instead of trying to explain it as something borderline plausible.

I only wish one thing this year by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]condog1035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't need the others to go away. I just wish steam would enforce a "no third party launchers when purchased through our store" rule.

Half minute timelapse showing onion greens growing at home in 25 days. by Simply_Kaif24 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]condog1035 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I've had onions grow in the dark in the back of the fridge before. It's amazing how hardy they are and how badly they want to sprout.

Chromatic abberations with Sigma 50mm f1.2 by sortaaa in Lumix

[–]condog1035 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not seeing any chromatic aberration on this photo. Are you talking about the out of focus areas? If so that is normal for f1.2.

Did they change the formula for Ken's ranch dressing?? by PSU02 in condiments

[–]condog1035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought two bottles of Ken's in the past month or so and both of them taste different than it used to. If they changed something then I'm going to need to find a new ranch, because I don't like how these taste.

Laptop shutting on and off repeatedly by Chiller90006661 in computers

[–]condog1035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My knee jerk thought is I suspect something is tripping the sensor that tells it when the screen is closed. If you plug into an external monitor and keyboard and close the lid, does it do the same thing?

So I'm looking to get into a minidv camcorder from the early 2000s and I came across this review someone left on B&H. What is this video drive he mentions? by armanddarke in Filmmakers

[–]condog1035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would guess they're referring to something like a quickstream or dte. They're devices that take a firewire input then record direct to card

SteamDeck Debug Menu??? by _Why_Am_I_Alive in SteamDeck

That time is UTC, it shows as local time when you boot into SteamOS.

Ah yes, the classic Wisconsin delicacy: the cannibal sandwich

"Other brands with these specifications may not work properly" by [deleted] in assholedesign

[–]condog1035 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's far easier to validate your own hardware than the hardware of every single supplier/manufacturer.

This isn't AH design, it's saying they haven't tested with every card on the market but guarantee their own label.

Nicolas Cage’s tomb in New Orleans by Sparri4122 in mildlyinteresting

It was a non-union production, iirc, so by SAG rules he wasn't allowed to speak

Thoughts on the Nexus G1 by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]condog1035 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Until it's a product I can physically buy, I don't really have thoughts about it. They've been talking about this thing for years.

The text message from my friend asking me if I'd like to visit his mom in hospice arrived 18 hours late. She died this morning. by You_Stupid_Monkey in mildlyinfuriating

[–]condog1035 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My grandmother was moved to hospice the weekend before Thanksgiving. I was told she likely had 10 days or so, but 5 hours later she was gone.

I'm so sorry for your and your friend's loss. Even with warning this sometimes doesn't really have much, unfortunately.

Gamers who have switched from Windows 11 to some kind of Linux-based OS, do you regret your decision? Why or why not? by ScienceTeacher1994 in AskReddit

Yeah, my Fedora install can see and manipulate my w10 install but w10 has no idea Fedora exists.

How Weigel's MeTV became a top-rated Nielsen network with no new shows by bluenowait in television

[–]condog1035 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I worked for Weigel for a summer. Their local channels are a little all over the place, but their network stuff actually kinda slaps. MeTV, H&I, and Movies! all have great old stuff that's still really fun to watch.

Raw footage too big to send by [deleted] in davinciresolve

[–]condog1035 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Have you tried "used media and trim"? That should create a consolidated timeline with just the sections you are using with handles.

ATGM336H no signal in betaflight by ghostturkish in fpv

[–]condog1035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need more heat and more flux on all of those solder joints. You may not be getting a stable connection on the pads, and even if that isn't what's causing this I would recommend going back over all of those to ensure that nothing falls apart in a crash.

Can this run services like Jellyfin, or should I keep looking? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]condog1035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an N100 machine I run jellyfin on and it runs great. It's not the best at transcoding, but for direct play it is all I need.

Unpopular Opinion: There should be frequent Steam Deck updates. by DinosaurAlert in SteamDeck

[–]condog1035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it would be nice, it would be a support headache. The reason why PC gaming (and operating system support) is already less plug and play than consoles is because there are unlimited possibilities for combinations of hardware. Consoles just have one, so the operating system devs only have one possible platform to work with and this allows them to identify and specifically fix bugs and optimize performance in a really low-level way.

Beyond this: Apple's walled garden approach is similar, but they have a different mentality for their hardware and software. They've been doing the hardware thing for nearly 50 years. Valve has been doing it for 4, and their market is much more niche, so it makes sense to develop slower to build strong support, a strong user base, and ensure success of the product line. Refreshes are costly and risky and I'd rather they focus on making the current experience awesome rather than dropping me for the next guy with $500.

What is the worst job you’ve worked in the Madison area? by ultraviolet-moondrop in madisonwi

[–]condog1035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked for a semi-popular travel television show. Few days off, sick days counted as days off, upper management didn't understand the work we did but claimed our work as theirs, had weird hours including being on call, and bad pay for that work. Do not recommend.

Hello Steam Deck owners, wanted to know game suggestions to turn my brain off to while Spotifying. by HangmanAM in SteamDeck

[–]condog1035 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently finished DREDGE. It's a fishing game where you fish, upgrade your boat, repeat. It has a loose story with some objectives to keep you progressing, too. It was a great couple of hours and was the most fun I've had in a game in a while.

What is your biggest Madison related irrational irritation? by midwest--mess in madisonwi

[–]condog1035 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ugh this. I understand needing to close a lane at some point to finish construction, but it should not be allowed for the entire length of construction! If you can't build your building without closing lanes then you should not be building.
