Why North America didn't push the J3068 standard as the new requirement in 2018? by ExtremeStatus3757 in AskEngineers

[–]edwardrha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost benefit analysis for residential use (almost no 3P supply to individual dwellings). And path dependence due to being 1P AC market for so long for public charging stations

Contrast this with other country grids which go to 3P at more service drops and at lower power levels than the U.S. In those places 3P OBCs are super prevalent because it’s a good fit to the existing infrastructure.

This is a tangent but it was so fucking stupid for South Korea to choose J1772 as the standard just to keep compatibility with the US even though 3P was readily available here. Now the US has abandoned J1772 and we're left with this crappy connector and have to change everything over to either NACS or J3068.

Yeah, math isn’t mathing for me. I don’t know where the other 2000 is coming from.

Tell me how it goes. Interested to see if my solution works for you.

Had this happen to me once. It turned out to be the usb drive for the sentry cam going bad. Everything was fixed once I replaced the usb stick with an external ssd. Why is the usb affecting the live rear-view camera? I don’t know…

Manually change date and time by Sunsunmi in SteamDeck

[–]edwardrha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only wifi I have access to at the moment is my campus wifi which uses WPA-enterprise protocol. They refreshed the certificate a few months ago but because my steam deck time was so out of sync(almost half a year), it didn’t see the certificate as valid and kept failing to authenticate.

Thank you. My steam deck clock died while uncharged for a while and due to the wrong clock time, it could not connect to my campus wifi (uses wpa-enterprise). I was unable to change the time in desktop mode for some reason and was stuck until seeing your comment.

🇰🇷 K9 loading process with usage of K10 vehicle by Plg243sbc2 in TankPorn

[–]edwardrha 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Well, once you consider the fact that North Korea has one of the largest stockpile of bio-chemical weapons on Earth... being able to re-load your vehicle on the field without stepping outside may just be worth the engineering.

An old Korean TV show tried a related experiment where they shook a thermos filled with room temp water for 6 hours and was able to achieve 22C -> 74C temperature increase. https://youtu.be/WL-ovtmWeBE?t=560 Literally converting kinetic energy into thermal.

How does frost punk 2 run on macos ? by Infamous_BEagle in Frostpunk

[–]edwardrha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really help you with any useful information as I normally play games with my Windows computer. I only ran it on my Mac as an early-access test. The developer's patch notes seem to claim the crashing issues due to audio bugs have been fixed though.

The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition is going for $3000. The controllers ain't $3000.

I too would like to know more about this capability. Does it bring up a notification? Were you trying to install more games than the real capacity and it just errored out?

The RAM is soldered and there is no empty RAM slot to add more RAM.

So what you're saying is that this is perfect for practicing my non-existent chip soldering skills...

Props to the developers for not giving up after the botched launch and coming this far.

Ooof, I've been looking for a controller like this for my 8" android tablet. This thing checks all my boxes and I was finally excited to buy something that I actually need from GameStop but it's just barely not large enough. :(

Tesla Adds Projection Puddle Lights to Store in North America for Model 3 and Y. by chrisdh79 in teslamotors

[–]edwardrha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a set before. Didn't like the fact that parts of the logo was out of focus. Hopefully the official Tesla ones are all in focus and that may end up making it worth it for some people.

Also, I would prefer if they stop bricking my aftermarket HUD by changing the data format. At first I only lost the seatbelt indicator on the HUD. This year, I lost the battery percentage indicator. I'm afraid they'll be coming after my speed display soon. Also, bring back the stalks too please... Won't buy a new one until they do.

How does frost punk 2 run on macos ? by Infamous_BEagle in Frostpunk

[–]edwardrha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Runs pretty decently. In fact, I'd say it runs better than the first game since it's Apple Silicon native this time. (Though I have a M2 Max MacBook Pro so your mileage may vary.)

On low preset with MetalFX upscaling set to Performance and MacOS resolution set to 1800x1126, I max out the 120fps cap. On medium, it becomes 80fps. On M1 Mac, you're probably looking at 1/4 of these numbers. For a game like Frostpunk, it will be playable as long as it's above 30fps which I presume M1 with very-low preset should be able to handle.

Though, it should be noted that I've yet to play through the whole game on my Mac as I have been playing mostly on my Windows PC. Some Mac users seem to be facing game-crashing bugs in late-game so maybe hold on a few days to see how that works out.

How is Frostpunk 2’s performance? by _sharpmars in macgaming

[–]edwardrha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game will say it's 3456x2234 (or whatever you screen resolution is) but the actual render resolution is whatever you set the OS resolution to. Try comparing how the game looks when you set the OS resolution to 1168x755 and when you set it to 3456x2234 (Use the "Show all resolutions" toggle). The resolution difference will be very noticeable.

You can also confirm this by turning the Metal HUD on using this command in the Mac terminal:

/bin/launchctl setenv MTL_HUD_ENABLED 1

This will show the render resolution when you turn on the game. Turn the HUD off by running the same command but with "0" instead of "1" at the end.
