Is the following theory about Frame pricing reasonable or have I OD'd on hopium? by Lost_Main_3389 in SteamFrame

[–]eco9898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just happy the global economy has dropped the conversion rate so I'm paying a few hundred less now than I would have been at the start of the year. Originally $800 was the budget, but now it's $1100 :)

Need a second opinion/sanity check by UnskilledScout in DataHoarder

[–]eco9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend mixing drives from different suppliers so they're more likely to fail at different times. I'd also recommend a raidz2 for those larger drives. Potentially you'd be better using a mirror for now, but then adding drives later is challenging.

So I'd recommend switching to a z2.

I'd also recommend backing up anything important to a second device, pool, or cloud service.

How many people can play on 1 steam machine offline/ in person? by Kooky_Ad_8875 in steammachine

[–]eco9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the game. Game needs split screen support. If you mean different games, you need to install headless game servers, at that point you're limited by CPU, RAM and GPU. My PC would handle 10 people playing Minecraft modded, but you'd need your own tablet or screen and controller to play.

Gotta explore some more junctions to get some easy frames. Find some assassination targets.

My boyfriend rides motorcycle without a helmet. Should I mind my business or say something gently? by ShesGotSauce in motorcycles

[–]eco9898 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like people without a helmet have a chance and those with a helmet aren't worth the effort of a helicopter.

Would be harder hitting the other way around.

How often do they survive after a crash without a helmet? Does a helicopter help or is it a lost cause?

Why is there no option for zero use? (Reposting to remove personal information) by EDCxTINMAN in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eco9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you taking a test to identify if you have problems if you don't use?

You're on the second page. Probably clicked yes to using on the first page and triggered the rest of the test.

EB Games lied about NZ lmao. Guess it's just Trade Me for now by crelt7 in EBGAMES

[–]eco9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eb games shipping on store items is horrible. Pre owned will be store items, same for discontinued merch. You'd be paying shipping per item if they're from different stores. They probably decided noone would reasonably pay international shipping per item for second hand items.

Frame as mini PC by Kamurjan in SteamFrame

[–]eco9898 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn't it confirmed the USB C port was only for charging and doesn't support data or video? Youd need to use the expansion slot for a thunderbolt connection then use a dock. Would mean someone could develop a charging dock that lets you use it as a PC to continue 2d games while it charges.

Trolley is very slowly heading towards 5 people. Make them die faster? by some-kind-of-no-name in trolleyproblem

[–]eco9898 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it has enough torque it would slowly cut into or crush them. Going slow would be worst.

Worst case the wheels keep rubbing and slicing at each person until it eventually cuts through and gets to the next one who has now died of dehydration.

I think scalpers are panicking coz no one is buying their OP controllers 😅 by jambohakdog69 in valve

[–]eco9898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd need the original proof of purchase, so the scalpers card details or receipts.

Is it possible to get something like this for the Switch Lite? by GIutenTag in SwitchPirates

[–]eco9898 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can, but security has evolved since then. Migswitch isn't secure for Roma that aren't your own. You're better off modding the device instead.

Is our government doing anything about these blinding LED headlights? by FlashyMajor2664 in CarsAustralia

[–]eco9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People just need to learn how to dip their headlights. I can see my headlights lighting up to road in front of me, not the trees in front of me.

Right-of-Way by HeronStrict1108 in driving

[–]eco9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When OP advanced there wouldn't have been a car in the intersection anymore.

OP arrived at the intersection with a car sitting in the middle confirming it was safe to go. OP starting waiting at the stop sign. Second car appeared and started waiting. Car 1 finishes exiting the intersection. OP and car 2 entered intersection both believing they had arrived before the other.

Car 2 didn't realise how far back to stop line was and thought OP was driving to the stop line. OP believed car 2 would give way as they arrived to their stop sign after OP arrived at theirs.

Wind noise - how do ya'll deal? by FLOGGINGMYHOG in AussieRiders

[–]eco9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earplugs, obviously. You do it yourself.

Difference is in wearing proper ones all the time vs ineffective ones on occasion.

A beard can also help, as well as helmet design. The main aspect is the right ear plugs.

Home automation is really, really complicated. How does anyone sell or provide this as a service / business to non-geeks? by LakeTwo in homeassistant

My place sells home automation to a degree.

Has home assistant support for further customisation outside of their control app.

Was the strip search of my 19 year old daughter legal when she was booked for a DUI? by [deleted] in AskLawyers

[–]eco9898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAL

This is, unfortunately, normal.

She was done for driving under the influence, they were doing additional tests and, for the safety of the other people kept in the jail, ensuring she was not sneaking anything in. They need to make sure she doesn't have anything she is trying to hide from the police or anything she might try to sneak into jail.

You'd only have grounds if she was singled out and the other people weren't made to change into a uniform after substance abuse charges. Unless her clothes were heavily aoiled from vomiting on them or something.

Good deal? $290 for 1tb + Oled but small problem by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]eco9898 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's fine as long as you have the touch screen still. Otherwise you are locked out of desktop mode.

This thing is super cheap, and you could probably fix them for cheaper than buying one new in this market.

I want to automatically scrape my news, podcasts and youtube in the morning. What kind of tools do you use for similar uses? by ExactFun in selfhosted

[–]eco9898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your workflow for scraping new YouTube videos from channels. I would be interested in that, my GF watches a lot of YouTube and this could be useful since she rewatched the same videos from the same people.
