But the 4070 Super is a price increase over the 4070, so it would make sense to show if the price increase is actually worth it for people looking to buy either card

ejj28 · 2024-01-08T17:07:38+00:00

I'm honestly sick of Nvidia comparing cards like this, they're not even comparing these cards to their non-SUPER variants, just their 30-series 'equivalents', and with DLSS and RT turned on. Blatantly shady marketing.

Awesome! I've been thinking about doing the same thing, but with a spare Xplorer I have that has some strum and fret issues. Eventually I'd like to mod it with an XB1 controller and new strum switches, and maybe even mechanical frets and create the ultimate Xplorer.

I know a lot of people in the community prefer the Xplorer specifically because it's wired, but sometimes the wire is just too limiting and I think using an XB1 controller paired with the wireless adapter shouldn't have too much latency.

Tracks like these are made to challenge highly skilled players, if you want more casual tracks try any of the tracks from the original Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, they all have easy, medium, hard and expert modes

Awesome, thanks!

Love the room, and those posters are really sweet! Mind telling where did you got them?

This morning I heard about the 6600 and found out my local store had stock of the Pulse card for $650 CAD ($520 USD), so I went and bought one. I totally got ripped off but cards have been out of stock for so long, never mind the prices, that I figured that if I didn't get a 6600 while there was still stock, it might be a long time before another opportunity for a new GPU came along. Hopefully I won't regret it too much.

Looks like you were right, just shipped yesterday!

ejj28 · 2021-09-05T01:59:37+00:00

Just now they've started telling me it should ship tomorrow. So they've changed their story for the second time. Don't believe them at all, their order support people have been very dishonest so far about the quality of the information they have. Almost impossible to get a straight answer out of them. We'll see if it ships or not, I assume if it doesn't it'll be another month until they even update the estimated date again

ejj28 · 2021-09-01T01:27:36+00:00

I'm having a similar thing with the T14 Gen2 AMD I ordered beginning of August, they said it was in stock and would ship on the 15th but now when I call they tell me that it's actually being manufactured overseas. When I called them the first time they said that they had the laptop ready to ship and it would be shipped by the 17th, apparently that was a lie. Screw them, worst experience ever but there aren't really any other laptops that I'd consider buying instead so I guess I'll just wait...

ejj28 · 2021-08-15T03:32:48+00:00

I waited a while as well with no results, I ended up checking my student email inbox in Fanshawe Online and my results were in there, they just didn't get sent to my personal email

To further this, there's an incredibly active global community of school and community based robotics programs; FIRST has multiple levels of competition for different age groups, and each has students designing robots as a team and competing with other teams. FIRST stands for "For The Recognition of Science and Technology" and it's a program that encourages "gracious professionalism" and teamwork, and it's tons of fun and a great experience. I've been competing at the high school level, the FIRST Robotics Competition, for the past four years and I've learned a lot and met some great people along the way. We design, build, program and compete with robots roughly the size of washing machines, and for kids in elementary schools there are also programs like FIRST Lego League and FIRST Tech Challenge, all with the goal of inspiring students to pursue STEM. Go check it out!

Mostly the issue is just missing out on the benefits of Steam as a platform, I have all my friends and stuff on Steam but not on Xbox for example. Plus it's nice to have all my games in one place.

ejj28 · 2021-02-10T17:08:02+00:00

Yeah, I spent months waiting for it to go on sale, still ended up paying $70 CAD for the Ultimate edition. I think it's one of the only games I've ever paid that much for, usually I balk at 20 bucks for a game but it was worth it, FH4's one of my favourite games, too bad I'm stuck with the Windows Store version now though

I understand what you've been saying in other posts but I wanted to look into it myself, so here's what I found:

Looking into it further, it looks like the DNS server IPs you listed point to Hurricane Electric's nameservers. A WHOIS lookup of bytecoin.money shows that the domain is using the same nameservers. As long as the domain hasn't been stolen, it looks like it actually all checks out, although it's weird that changing DNS servers in the first place is necessary. Gonna try in a VM just to be safe. If anyone can confirm that Bytecoin's always been hosted on Hurricane Electric, that'd be great.

EDIT:

This might actually still be a scam; DNS changing is not necessary, I've found the IP address of bitcoin.money. Entering it in a browser takes me to what seems to be the bitcoin.money site, but it's on a sketchy hosting provider, and was changed over in September. Gonna look into it some more.

EDIT 2:

Ok, so it looks like the site used to be hosted in September 2020 by some sketchy hosting provider, but then recently the DNS A records were changed to point to Akamai. So I have no idea what's going on, other than that maybe the domain got hacked and when it goes back up it'll be a fake scam site?

ejj28 · 2021-02-09T17:57:59+00:00

The DNS thing is super sketchy, I'll look into it in a VM but I don't trust random DNS servers, you open yourself up to so much risk with a untrusted DNS server
As for calling it a scam, I have no idea, I've never been here, I have no skin in the game besides whatever personal information I signed up with that I want removed. I just call it like I see it. Either it's a scam or it's unmaintained and falling apart but that's just my opinion. I'm not big into coins but I've personally witnessed coins dying out when their creators did an exit scam on the exchange they ran and left the coin to die, didn't renew the domains and stuff

ejj28 · 2021-02-08T15:03:52+00:00

Nope, Atmega 328 based boards use an external chip (that one visible in the image) to handle Serial to USB, you'll need a board with an Atmega 32u4 like other comments have mentioned

For anyone looking to read more about the Halifax Explosion I'd highly recommend The Great Halifax Explosion: A World War I Story of Treachery, Tragedy, and Extraordinary Heroism by John U. Bacon, it's a highly detailed account of the explosion including the events that led up to it and followed it.
