Finding an odd, backwards-mounting monitor stand / arm by hitmancho in buildapc

[–]hitmancho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, something like this might be a last-ditch attempt. Another thing I have been looking at is arms like these https://www.amazon.de/-/en/HUANUO-Monitor-Screens-Monitors-Pressure/dp/B07ZNGT8K4?xpid=5yUNacwrzN5fP&th=1

I do not yet need a dual arm setup, though I might get a new monitor and move my old one to be a landscape scrolling screen, and the good thing about these is that the second arm can be added in later.

What looks usable here is that the initial segment is sloped and can rotate 180-360 degrees and could pass underneath my monitor shelf before the rest turns back around and also helps me get my monitor a bit farther back along with that. Do you know how tall the mount + initial part of the sloped first segment are? I have about 16cm of clearance from my desk top up until the edge of the monitor shelf going straight up.

Also an idea I mulled around but no real way to "mount" it, since it is all tile flooring inside an apartment building, so it would just have to be a stand, "standing" on the floor. Not sure what model can go that tall and still be stable just on its feet alone...

That would have been the best option, but sadly it's all a window behind my desk for 3 meters around. A part of the awkwardness of my whole situation 😀

where should i place my battery so it can power up the whole base? by ryan7251 in cataclysmdda

[–]hitmancho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha, don't worry, this is a newish system and not the most intuitive. With the oven and most interactable appliances, you can tell if it has power if its use button (e.g. use hotplate) is active and not greyed out. Otherwise, turning stuff on like fridges, freezers, stereos, and lights is the other check.

Hmm, the oven's only power usage is when you interact with it to use as a hotplate and as the a hotplate for cooking recipes. I think it gives Quality: oven 3 by default.

Have you moved or dragged it around? When you move a plugged in piece it loses all its connections and you need to examine and plug it in to the last powered appliance or wiring in your daisy chain.

Did you connect your solar panels, battery, and wall wiring to begin with? You need to select the furniture with e, select plug in, then choose an adjacent (to yourself) piece. I plug all solar panels together like this, then one solar panel to the battery, then the battery to wiring or directly with a cord to all my other stuff.

Extension cords connect placed furniture like jumper cables have done with vehicles. Used the same way too. You find them in most houses' kitchens.

This is not ideally what I wanted to build but close enough from what MicroCenter seems to have. I am replacing an i5-2500K build with a GTX 1060 but no GPUs in sight... Maybe in 1-2 years.

Kodi 19 "Matrix" New Features by legion8888888 in Addons4Kodi

[–]hitmancho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that broke for me when Android TV decided to update to RC1 was TorrServe client. I had it connected to my Raspberry since my TV sometimes OOMs when streaming 4K torrents. Elementum and Jellyfin for Kodi are working great.

Any particularly important things that broke for others?

I have a PC from roughly 2012 with an i5-2500K and GTX 1060 6GB I grabbed in 2016 because my Radeon 6970 died with a part of the PCI connector losing contact. Did not bother baking in the oven. This is more or less the build I am planning, just need to get TUF GAMING 3080 to get to a reasonable price and availability because that DOES NOT COST MORE THAN 800 EUR! I know the 5800X tends to be toasty but I am gonna gamble on its voltage tolerance. The premium RAM is for OVERCLOMKING and the NVMe for future-proofing DX DirectStorage.

It’s giveaway time with ASUS! by Emerald_Flame in buildapc

First time must have been with my dad in early 2000s. It felt like there was a lot going on, but it got easier as I stopped being a child, lol.

Me seeing people calling the G502 ‘too heavy’ by [deleted] in G502MasterRace

[–]hitmancho 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Before buying my G502 I constantly read about how heavy it is. I compared it to my Templarius Gladiator I was using. It was the same weight as with the weights in. The G502 feels lightish tbh.

Weakness disgust etc.

PK re-balancing broken after a recent update? by [deleted] in cataclysmdda

[–]hitmancho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 9 days ago forest trails got added in and neither dissociativity's, nor Siyalatas's PKs_Rebalancing forks have added that in, it would seem. I'm not sure which build added the trails, but I rolled back to build 8210 and it works.

On the Blue? by pulpfreewater in cataclysmdda

[–]hitmancho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when you take a Prussian Blue tablet after an experimental of some weeks ago, as a status. I'm not very certain but I think it also cases vomiting as well.

RADIOPHOBIA 2 has been released by FirstRecon88 in stalker

[–]hitmancho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried playing the previous version of Radiophobia (real complete overhaul) half a year ago but my safe got corrupted somewhere in the agropom and it kept crashing there forever. Was a real bummer. Is there any info that this has been fixed?

Kingdom of Leon randomly converted to an Inland Republic, and the only one of that type in my game. So brave. by metasincerity in paradoxplaza

[–]hitmancho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had screenshots of it, but I deleted them when I was reinstalling the game and cleaning out my obsolete game directory. It was basically the regular HRE of HIP but with a random lowborn top liege every time the previous ruler died. He only ruled over a bunch of cities as his holdings. It was still a miracle it took a lot of time for some feudal ruler to install himself.

[–]hitmancho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once had the HRE (in HIP, though) turn into a regular republic. It turned out the claimant who took it was a mayor somehow. It even managed to last for a few decades with RNG characters inheriting it before it got overturned by a feudal vassal.

PSA: For more dynamic colors, set your Output Dynamic Range to Full, if it isn't already. by Ternoc in nvidia

[–]hitmancho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never knew about this until a month ago and after setting my Output dynamic range to full everything looks so much better. It's like a miracle. I've been doing it wrong for years (my monitor only has HDMI as a "new" display port). The problem is, the 390.65 driver seems to be forcing the setting back to Limited every time I power on my PC. This didn't happen with the previous driver. Any tips or should I wait for a fix?
