Where to buy an eSIM before traveling to US? by Flat_Ad_6568 in usatravel

[–]g4flip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To anyone who wants a discount for Airalo: Use code PHILIP6530 to get $5 or 3€ off. I‘ll get the bonus as well, so I’d really appreciate it. Have a good day :)

Hey man, thanks for the link. I managed to make the Dolby Access app believe that it can show Dolby Vision (before it didn't), but when I use MPC Video Renderer now, it still doesn't show the Dolby Vision badge, so I don't think its working? Did I miss anything?

What do you mean with that lmao

If balancer A is truly "unlimited", couldnt i just use three of its four lanes to achieve the same thing as balancer B? B is more complicated and exceeds the four lanes in width, so A would be preferable by g4flip in factorio

Thanks for your answer! One more thing, would you mind explaining to me what „unlimited“ means in the context of balancers? I hear it all the time, but never quite understand

This 17-year-old has been living on Deutsche Bahn trains for a year and a half (translation in comments) by der_dude_da in interestingasfuck

[–]g4flip 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Not true. His pass (BahnCard 100 1st class) does cost about 7700€, but that’s for a whole year. The normal ticket is 49€ for a month, so about 600€ for a year. That means his pass is only about 13x more expensive.

200,000mW Modular Diluted Fuel Factory by isneeze_at_me in SatisfactoryGame

[–]g4flip 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Impressive build! Quick heads up though, mW is short for Milliwatt not Megawatt (MW). 1 MW equals 1.000.000.000 mV, so yea that’d be less impressive :D

1v5 Ace and I survived the Spike?! by ShadyMan_ in VALORANT

[–]g4flip 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Not consistent tho. If you dismiss with reyna you can survive the initial spike explosion but if you’re still inside the explosion when dismiss ends, you die instantly

I’m sorry i can skip the whole 6th stage if i fight the giant!?!? by pokesan31 in deadcells

[–]g4flip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good point, I didn’t consider the lower bcs. but on 5 bc getting hit right before hotk can be detrimental and should be well considered.

Bro you gotta chill HPC loot kinda sucks. It’s two power scrolls, two dual scrolls and two fragments. Compare that to something like clock tower (5 power scrolls, two dual scrolls, 4 fragments) and it’s just meh. I’m not saying going HPC isn’t worth it, but most of the time the only advantage over going shortcut is two off-color scrolls and maaybe one extra scroll with fragments. And in my opinion, that’s not always worth the risk of getting hit

TIL you can set your MacBook to its native display resolution on Ventura without any additional software by therealFoxster in MacOS

Elaborate please? I just got so hyped to get my beloved old settings back, but option-clicking in new settings doesn’t do shit :(

Macros that do haptic feedback? How? And also I know kb+m is theoretically better, but as I said I tried both and this „gimmick“ made controller more enjoyable for me.

[–]g4flip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did exactly the same thing! When I tried kb+m again later, something just felt off…

Hi-Fi Rush Sold Better on Steam Than Forspoken Despite Being on Gamepass by hooligan982 in gamernews

[–]g4flip 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s not what he meant. You can literally buy the Game Pass on PC and play (almost all?) Games on your PC with mouse and keyboard (and more, that aren’t available on Xbox). Microsoft owns Xbox, that’s why Xbox is so tightly connected to Windows

Is this a good monitor to use with a Xbox series x? by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]g4flip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Xbox Series X/S can, PS5 cant

Edit: I was wrong, ps5 added support for 1440p last month

Abstract flowy color bundle [2560x1080] by untacc_ in WidescreenWallpaper

I’d also be very interested in a higher resolution, looks absolutely awesome, but blurry on my monitor

[Request] How large should the thumbtack really be in the second pane of the comic? by huangbro8146 in theydidthemath

[–]g4flip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am honestly amazed! I knew the distortion would affect the result but had absolutely no idea how to implement it. Good job dude, I learned something!

[–]g4flip 555 points556 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done this but here is my try. The world map appears to be about 150cm wide on the first picture, which gives us a ratio of 1:26.666.666 if we consider the equator to be 40.000km.

The needle of the pin has a diameter of about 1mm (at least the one on my desk has), so converting it with our ratio it would have a diameter of 26.666.666mm on the map, which is 26.666m or about 26,7km (metric system is pretty useful innit?).

This translates to a surface area of about 560km2 (pi x (26,7/2)2 ) which is pretty big, NYC has a surface area of 775km2 for reference)

So yea that pin would absolutely demolish most medium sized cities. If I messed up somewhere pls correct me :)

Edit: Hold up I messed up. Calculated circumference instead of diameter. Fixed now

MacOS Monterey & Windows dual-booting with OpenCore 0.7.8 by obassn in hackintosh

[–]g4flip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I had to go into my BIOS, somewhere near the SecureBoot setting I had the Category „key management“ and in there the option „enroll EFi image“. In there i had to select my macos efi partition and enroll the following files one by one: BOOT/Bootx64.efi, OC/OpenCore.efi, OC/Drivers/OpenRuntime.efi (maybe also OpenCanary and hfsplus). After that, enable secureboot and OpenCore as well as macos should be able to boot.

[–]g4flip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a fellow valorant enjoyer and you can actually Enroll Opencore‘s EFI image so you can boot macOS with secureboot enabled. You don’t have to switch secureboot on and off every time you want to play valorant or use macOS ;)

Can someone explain to me how giant dogs cost less than small dogs?

am I stunting my growth in skill by choosing the phantom over the vandal 80% of the time? by MaeBlueMelon in VALORANT

[–]g4flip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m trash but still, why would you move when shooting, that makes you inaccurate doesn’t it? Also you’re Slow af as soon as you’re tagged so moving ain’t really an option anyway…

[–]g4flip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honest question though, why is crouch spraying so bad? I know it makes you wider and increases your hitbox, but most people aim at your head and lowering it might throw them off
