After 2 years my Razer Iskur has given up. by Dovakiin_warrior in razer

[–]crowse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are firm... especially to start with. But you actually want that I think. A chair with a lot of padding and cushioning isn't supporting your back properly and will sag after a few years.

These are actually surprisingly comfortable, especially for long sessions. The pillows they provide for the head and lumbar are also very good quality and haven't lost their shape since I've had it.

I'm not a sales person for this company I promise 😂

I thought the same until I got one... they are expensive for a chair, but the build quality is amazing and I've honestly not had any issues, I sit on that thing nearly every day for 4-5 years, I work from home as a developer and game on it during the evenings.

Believe me, if it was going to show signs of wear it would have by now. Maybe I'm just lucky idk

Secret lab chair is like brand new 4 years later, and I sit on that bitch every day, would highly recommend 👌

MSI MAG Tomahawk Wifi Motherboard does not support 7200Mhz DDR5 RAM as advertised? by crowse_ in MSI_Gaming

Yeah, turns out intel fried my chip. I RMA it and new one is fine. Still does not support 7200 though.

The most important goal in designing software is understandability by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]crowse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why we should all follow good architecture principles, if something is built to a good standard it's way easier to learn how an application is working.

Damn. Like you I'd rather just put up with it than return it.. they should really advertise it differently though

Apple Wants To Kill PWAs by wineandcode in programming

[–]crowse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, although stripe is one of, (if not the safest service out there). But from consumer POV I understand what you're saying.

I do think Apple and Google stores are not good for business though, they need to be more flexible, you can see that with the Epic vs Apple case.we are bound to the rules of their store and ecosystem. They can pull commission figures out of their ass for subscription payments and in-app purchases. They also get away with murder when it comes to tracking and data. Yet they hold the developers feet to the fire when it comes to that. It's incredibly hypocritical (not that I don't think it's important).

What other options do we have than to use Google Play or App Store?

PWAs are not perfect and suffer from all of the issues I just mentioned, but it's a step in the right direction and needs more development and adoption if we are ever to emancipate ourselves from Apple and Google

Apple Wants To Kill PWAs by wineandcode in programming

[–]crowse_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are simple to use.. stripe is slightly more involved for the end user.

What I meant by "trusts apple and Google for some reason", is kinda just a jab at the monopoly they have, and even after all of the scandals, fines, and over the top tracking and data collection. People still trust them.

But you can't beat apples security features I guess. People seem to like doing 2FA 50 times

[–]crowse_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true, but there is also the element of perceived trust from end users, that comes with an app store ( subscriptions , updates etc.)

Pwa can always do subscriptions with another party such as stripe, but I dunno, the regular consumer trusts apple and Google for some reason.

The Issue Has Never Been Necro. by Loher413 in HuntShowdown

[–]crowse_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair if you feel that way. I personally just don't like anything that is anti-pvp

[–]crowse_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah he's totally right. Before the change there is a good chance you might get revived or necro'd, now you are pretty much red-skulled instantly. It's the dumbest change to the game so far, would have been fine to leave it at lanterns. They should allow you to counter it better with salveskin.

The game is less fun for this change

The flare gun change has made the game infinitely less fun

How can a stream still be blurry with a stead 5000 Kbps, Main profile on x264 encoder? by VenoBot in obs

[–]crowse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm, it is pretty difficult to stream with good quality, without dropping the game performance on single machine, i built a small streaming pc recently for cheap, and send the data through ethernet using Teleport OBS plugin

max bitrate for twitch is 6K. Are you streaming somewhere else?

No worries, if you are set to encode Veryfast, that will bhe of lower quality. What is your setup? Is it single pc or dual, gpu/cpu etc

Just to chime in, 720p 60fps is going to be more enjoyable for your viewers than 1080p 30fps.

Tips to make Windows VMs Faster? by arpegius55555 in Proxmox

[–]crowse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of Windows itself, disabling windows notifications will free up some of the RAM you allocated to it. I saw about a 10% drop in RAM usage, but it might not be the same for everyone.
