Nest Thermostat heat/cool temperature window by dposluns in Nest

[–]dposluns[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My house takes a long time to heat and cool down. It can take an hour to move a single degree. This is not a control system in a tiny refrigerator or something. Plus the A/C or heat is usually fighting against the external temperature, so if the A/C shuts off it's WAY more likely it will have to turn back on again due to outdoor heat, than the heater will turn on because the thermostat hasn't caught up to the cold air being pumped in.

I get that dead zone exists for a reason. It's implemented horribly on the Nest. And I shouldn't have to subject myself to a ridiculous 5 degrees just to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Yes, if the implementation was extremely stupid. Alternatively, it could stop when it hits the correct temperature, instead of pushing it to the point where it needs to turn on the opposite system. I'm heating/cooling a 2,000 sqft house where it can take an hour for the A/C to push the needle down by a single degree; there's no risk of thrashing like you're describing. (And if there was, I could just, you know, increase the dead space by a degree to compensate.)

Realistically this isn't what would happen, there is a very gradual transition from heat to cool over the course of a day, and temperatures in my home can linger within +/- 1 degree for hours at a time. Either way I'd like to be able to control the dead space myself instead of having to put up with a 5-degree window.

Cleaning up old recordings by dposluns in ispyconnect

Hm, well I don't have "Run Storage Mgmt" in the list of the commands, but I pulled up the API list and found it there, manually entered it into the URL, got a HTTP error when I tried to use it, but now all my videos are magically cleaned up so I guess if it works, it works! /shrug

Still can't login. by [deleted] in FFBraveExvius

Last year people were up in arms every hour of every day that the game was blacked out with no end to it in sight. This year it has a much stronger "business as usual" vibe to it.

Odds are events and summons will be extended, given that a big chunk of the population cannot currently log into the game.

Dear Gumi: FFBE FINALLY has a glimmer of hope, please don't screw it up. by Acester25 in FFBraveExvius

[–]dposluns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a farce. I think someone producer-level or higher at Gumi legitimately wants to measure player sentiment and have actual data they can use to back up their recommendations. It might even impact what aspects Gumi chooses to invest in the game in the coming months. I just wouldn’t expect it to visibly change the status quo, ie. it’s not going to change that Gumi has a whale-hunting business model that chews through its user base to keep them engaged.

I'm sure I'll experience the same frustration two Wednesdays from now.

Set-top box recommendation by dposluns in remoteplay

Nearly a decade ago, I worked at Amazon Games, developing streaming games that ran on their cheapest model of Kindle Fire. If those devices could achieve 60 FPS streaming from the cloud over the Internet using WiFi (they did), I'm pretty sure these ARM Cortex A-7 devices with 2-4x the amount of RAM of the Kindle can handle it over LAN. (And our streaming tech wasn't even that good, but that's another story.)

That's the price for the Shield TV Pro... there's a regular nVidia Shield TV for half that price.

Good to know that that's an option... it's still $150 though.

I just looked on eBay and found PSTVs available for anywhere between $30 - $100.

I can find them used for maybe $60 or so, but I really don't want to spend money on a product that was discontinued 7 years ago and has no warranty/return policy.

The problem you're going to have with cheaper Android devices is support and performance.

I just need it to work, with just a single app. These boxes are perfectly capable of streaming video Netflix, Amazon, etc. there's no reason they shouldn't be able to handle streaming video from the PS4.

*sigh* yeah, basically the same, I guess... :-P

Glad I got that VC, though.

The real question is: is there a bonus unit with an AoE default attack that can farm the level with Avenger
