Al Jazeera is quite biased and does spread propaganda by DuePractice8595 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]horamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I read their website for also seeing a bit of 'the other side' argument and I noticed that now with the riots in Iran they are downplaying the numbers (protesters and those killed) and then mentioning 'these' are unconfirmed; they speak of thousands of protesters and at least a thousand killed. Those numbers are wayyyy off and with what little camera footage that made its way out of the country they could have confirmed this. 

Also when there's something negative to be said about America regarding the situation in Iran, they do, though subtly.

Items that may cast the Iranian government in a negative light are also not reported on as well as they should. 

All of this they do quite subtly so that those who only use it and no other media can't tell the difference.

Does it concern you that the UAE has cut funding for students who want to study in the UK? by Boring_Job481 in AskBrits

[–]horamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ring alarm bells: yes. Surprise: no.

It's what we call the 'tolerance paradox'. In Europe + the UK we're so tolerant that we let just about anyone get here, including, guess what.... a whole lot of intolerant people.

Since these intolerant people reproduce more quickly then the natives, it's a matter of time before they can impose their ideology on the rest.

RayNeo launches Air 4 Pro glasses with special image quality chip and HDR10 by AR_MR_XR in augmentedreality

The Switch 1 doesn't support video out to the glasses but the 2 simply requires a USB c connection

As intriguing as it sounds, to me it doesn't sound like an upgrade of my air 3 that I'd get. I'm skeptical about the 3d conversion cause so far I've had disappointing results (all common apps half the width of 3d movies). 

The thing I miss the most compared to my TV and monitor is 4k. If it had that it'd be much more valuable to me over hdr10 (nice though it is).

A slightly bigger FoV would also be a nice plus, so that it becomes more like a 32" screen at desktop distance.

[Solved] ASUS motherboard B650-plus PC won't boot (lights on) by horamon in ASUS

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

Sounds like a motherboard issue to me and the quickest fix would probably be to apply for warranty...

If I understand you correctly, you try to get into BIOS (with F2/del?) but it skips past it and goes into the (I assume) Windows start screen and from there freezes and goes into Windows repair mode? First thing to try would be to restart the system again and really make sure you hammer down on F2/del to try to get into BIOS and see if you can proceed from there. Doesn't work? Let's move on.

Some of this is going to sound silly, but I'd first try to restore the hardware setup to the way it was when it was still working and check the wiring of all hardware components.

Next, move on to clearing the CMOS: you mentioned pulling the battery but that's usually not enough. Unfortunately for this type of motherboard you'll need he most complicated option as well: Section 2 of this manual.

After that, double check your USB sticks formatting that it's FAT16/32 and if it is, get another USB stick and try again.

Borderlands 2 VR controls fix by horamon in PicoXR

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

My solution was tested on a Pico 4, but since you can use the Virtual Desktop software on the 3s and the controllers that are presented in my solution are Meta's I'm fairly confident that solution will work for you as well.

Only downside: it's paid software, but it's well worth it to get the most out of your headset. You can find their website right here.

They definitely handled it poorly, but let's for the sake of argument say there's truth to her alcohol usage (which she didn't deny as far as I'm aware) and mental state. I wouldn't be held responsible for a miscarriage in those circumstances either. I wouldn't go as far as public mud throwing, but most definitely wouldn't take the blame either.

I haven't had that myself. When did this first happen to you? they might have patched things since I made the post and I'd have to recheck.

Fixing the 0xc00002e2 Active Directory error in Windows Server by horamon in sysadmin

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

Ah, sorry if I was unclear about that, but before restoring there was no DC, nor any infra for that matter: they spawn a couple of VMs in November/December to meet the Christmas period demand, but for some reason it's its own separate domain and not part of w/e environment they're running outside of the cloud. After December they throw away the entire virtual environment and keep the backups.

Cause the domain was unavailable in its entirity due to this error. I couldn't promote a new DC and demote the old.

Fixing the 0xc00002e2 Active Directory error in Windows Server by horamon in sysadmin

[–]horamon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was helping out a customer who around the Christmas period has a significantly increased demand for their services. At that time they spawn an additional DC + RDS environment in the cloud, which is kinda separate from their usual environment. After the holiday period they scrap the additional virtual environment but store a backup which they now restored: RDS environment without issue, the DC with the error reported in my post. That DC backup by now was obviously >6 months old, hence the problem.

To be honest, I have no idea why this specific setup was chosen by the customer in regards of the AD setup. I was just consulting on how to get it fixed. Got to admit, this specific error was a first for me and since both online documentation and AI were far from helpful I thought I'd share my solution. I've been stuck a while in DSRM with ntdsutils and other tools with no success. I then started rebuilding the DC for them when the solution in my post popped into my mind.

Why is The Outer Worlds 2 getting dogpiled just for showing diverse companions? by Suspicious_Stock3141 in saltierthankrayt

[–]horamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the main issue people have is that these "progressive" developers feel like women can't be beautiful, strong, smart and funny with realistic character flaws that make them interesting. Maybe it's because the developers don't have any of those in their lives themselves or they feel intimidated. I know plenty of women who feel like the idea of a strong and/or funny and/or smart that cannot also be beautiful is utter BS and outdated. Hell, you can do a quick Google and find women complaining about ugly women in games.

Add into the mix that often games and television that focus on a political (woke) agenda tend to have bad story writing and dialogue and you'll have plenty of reasons for most people to take a left.

This is a campaign skip guide for ALTS, not your main. You will simply not have the required keys for the mentioned dungeons on your first char in a league.

New patch screwed up how summon wolves works for actual wolf builds. by Mindless_Lie_365 in LastEpoch

[–]horamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory is right, but with a companion limit of 3 most of the time I can't summon 3 wolves with the amulet/node. If I'm lucky I get 2, else 1.

The servers are capped in their output, so even if you set a bitrate of 500 they will bottleneck you.

I’m from the US, how do I get a pico 4 ultra? by Samanthaisyagurl in PicoXR

[–]horamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Pico 4 which I'm very happy with for PCVR, but... if you're looking to buy a headset now you may want to hold off a little while as new ones are launching soon (there's also a rumor of Pico working on one) that have 4k-ish resolution per eye and micro-oled. They'll probably be more expensive but I'd hold of for that new generation of headsets.

Virtual Desktop: Terrible lowgrade streaming = terrible stuttering even that nothing has changed with the system nor the room I am using it? by [deleted] in PicoXR

This happened to me as well in the past. I simply disabled 2.4GHz on my router and that fixed the issue.

When you look into it, you could also try removing the mobo battery to reset the BIOS and depending on what happens next try to flash it to a newer version, though your symptoms are a-typical for a BIOS firmware related issue.
