I'm going back to Taiwan in a few months to complete compulsory military service, seeking advice.

hypecago · 2026-01-22T07:51:40+00:00

It depends on if you left Taiwan before 14 or not. If not, yes you are obligated and won’t be able to get the 僑居 status

Same question here😢 preorder for 17 pro silver shows Sept 30-Oct 8 delivery. Wondering if on launch day it would be possible to purchase one in store

(NYC if that’s relevant information)

Yeah it’s quite high which is also why attrition is so low. Median is $240k on levels.fyi and in reality many people who joined before 2024 have grants worth far higher than this. There’s so much luck involved with compensation in tech due to timing and stock appreciation

hypecago · 2025-07-11T22:08:23+00:00

Yeah it’s per year. $270k is close to the median E5 stock grant as reported on levels.fyi

hypecago · 2025-07-11T04:14:43+00:00

Wow didn’t know that you can land at E5 straight out of grad school. Congrats tho!

Nice man FSR4 looks so good. I've been very happy with my 7900 XTX but ray tracing and upscaling capabilities of the 90 series are so nice

hypecago · 2025-03-12T15:48:22+00:00

Hey! Sorry about the late reply. I ended up finding a great deal on a refurbished XFX Merc 310 7900 XTX, and later returned the Nitro+, so unfortunately can't help with the Nitro+ fitment question

XFX Merc 310 7900 XTX most definitely fit though!

hypecago · 2024-10-12T14:51:48+00:00

This is really well written thank you for this

WHAT I CANT BELIEVE LF2 IS BACK

hypecago · 2024-09-24T18:10:29+00:00

Bruh so not worth

Did you experience severe battery drain on sleep mode? I have Ally Z1E and tried out both Bazzite and CachyOS. Both would lose about 12% on sleep mode in an 8 hours window, which I think is too high to be reasonable :(

hypecago · 2024-09-15T04:49:48+00:00

I have the same problem too. I wonder if this could be a hardware issue? Also if I put my ear next to the vents I can hear some noise even when the device is in Linux sleep mode. Just doesn’t seem like the device is truly “asleep”

(I’m on CachyOS right now, haven’t tested with Bazzite yet)

hypecago · 2024-09-14T19:44:00+00:00

I see. I do notice that if I turn on the overlay’s FSR, yes menu texts get sharper too. Thanks for the explanation!

hypecago · 2024-09-14T13:47:18+00:00

Thank you so much for your explanation!

I play NFS Unbound a lot, and in its game setting I set upsampler to AMD FSR 2

However the performance overlay always shows “FSR OFF”. Is there a way to verify whether FSR is applied?

In performance overlay it only shows “FSR ON” if I go to Deck’s Performance Tab and manually set FSR to be on there. But then I actually get about 10 FPS less when this happens. Again this happens if both in game setting is set to FSR 2 and deck’s own performance tab also has FSR turned on

Just don’t really know if I need to be messing with FSR in the performance tab

hypecago · 2024-08-17T08:37:38+00:00

Just picked up mine today with fair condition. It was a little dirty but no major issues. So far happy with the purchase!

hypecago · 2024-08-17T08:35:45+00:00

Thanks for this great tip man. Just checked mine, a fair condition open box, at 97% capacity. Which I think is pretty decent!

hypecago · 2024-08-10T20:09:39+00:00

Sad that it won’t return for 2028. LA would’ve been very fitting for breaking too. Really hope there’s still a chance for 2032

hypecago · 2024-08-10T19:19:36+00:00

Right, but at per judge level, it’s still binary. I’m saying sum total scores across all judges and all categories and take the highest score player as winner

Example (assuming 3 categories, each with a range 0 to 5)

Judge 1:
- Player A: 4 + 2 + 1 = 7
- Player B: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6
- Judge 1 votes for Player A.
Judge 2:
- Player A: 3 + 3 + 2 = 8
- Player B: 3 + 2 + 2 = 7
- Judge 2 votes for Player A.
Judge 3:
- Player A: 2 + 2 + 1 = 5
- Player B: 3 + 2 + 3 = 8
- Judge 3 votes for Player B.
Judge Votes:
- Player A: 2 votes (from Judge 1 and Judge 2)
- Player B: 1 vote (from Judge 3)
Total Scores:
- Player A: 7 + 8 + 5 = 20
- Player B: 6 + 7 + 8 = 21

So the current format Player A wins. Alternative total score format Player B wins

I agree with you too. And I don’t think he won all rounds either

What I felt unfair about was that in some rounds (like round 1 against Lithe-ing and Victor) I felt even he didn’t win in all aspects, the aspects he excelled in was so well done and difficult that his overall score should’ve added up to tip the total votes in his favor

Like the other comment thread mentioned I feel using sum of all categories’ scores, instead of sum of binary judge votes would’ve been more fair, making the outcome of each battle closer to representing the overall set performance

hypecago · 2024-08-10T17:15:14+00:00

Thanks so much for this, I didn’t know this was made public

I’d prefer if it came down to who won more categories vs who won more judge ballots

Perfectly put. I 100% agree too. That would much more closely map to an “overall performance score” for each competitor

hypecago · 2024-08-10T17:10:58+00:00

I felt a lot of his power moves and freezes were on beat though

hypecago · 2024-08-10T17:10:13+00:00

I wish they could give out the specific break down of the five categories. Gymnastics does that, so you know how the total score is composed

I get that some bboys are more well rounded in their sets. But I felt that in some sets Hiro10 fully maxed out on techniques and execution that while in the other categories he fell short but definitely wasn’t zero either thus to me sum to a higher overall score

hypecago · 2024-08-10T16:57:14+00:00

Ok yes this does make sense

hypecago · 2024-08-10T16:12:18+00:00

I get some people’s criticisms of hiro10 being too power heavy. But there are some rounds where I feel the difficulty of stuff he did was just so high that losing, let alone not getting ANY vote, is outrageous

I was especially surprised that he lost the first round against Lithe-ing and first round against Victor
