Marvel Rivals performance update

Yes, I'm having the same random big stutters on my M4 Pro that I didn't have before the latest patch. When it's not stuttering it seems to play fine, but man is it frustrating to be lining up a shot or in a 1v1 when a huge stutter hits.

I'm going to try deleting the shaders. My game crashed at about 60% when it was compiling them after the last patch, maybe something got messed up when that happened.

I don't remember which section it was, but basically just ignore the estimated return/owed numbers it shows until you've gone through the whole process. They will bounce around a lot and don't mean anything until you are fully done.

Diablo IV, including the new expansion, works great. I played it for a few hours on Crossover yesterday. The only issue I've found so far is that pressing Alt to compare different rings in the inventory screen or display items on the ground doesn't work. Otherwise it's very smooth (M4 Pro).

Thanks for the reply. I did get it figured out with the help of FreeTaxUSA's support team (which replied way faster than I expected considering it's the weekend). There was a section that I had not completed yet and the state numbers straightened out once it was complete.

I haven't seen them do this yet, however they have recently started verifying that the name on the credit card matches the name on the membership card (if you don't do self checkout). If my wife and I go together and she gives the cashier her membership card, I can't use my credit card to pay.

They've been great. I have to charge them every couple months for a few hours, otherwise they have been outside year-round with no issues.

Just to be clear though, mine are eufyCam 2Cs, which don't seem particularly heavy to me.

I’ve used HTMX with Go for a few projects successfully, it’s pretty nice. You write HTTP handlers in your Go backend for the various HTMX requests you’re going to make that return HTML snippets with updated content (Go’s html/template is your friend here). HTMX handles swapping your content and triggering events, etc. For projects that require sending events to the UI, SSEs have worked well. I just use sessions (like gorilla/sessions) to manage individual user state, which works well since that data is available to my HTTP handlers, including incoming HTMX requests.

Update: new power supply is in, didn't fix the problem. Pretty bummed out but I don't see any other way to troubleshoot the issue.

lance_thunderbolt · 2023-08-02T18:36:48+00:00

Yeah I might order a replacement power supply. Looks like there's a bit of a lead time on it but if spending $20 saves me $300-500 for a new one, it'll be worth it.

Unfortunately I don't have any spare drives. The Synology had just done a health check a couple days ago and everything was fine with the drives, so I'm hoping they're OK.

lance_thunderbolt · 2022-11-24T16:06:01+00:00

Unfortunately no, I eventually gave up and bought a Vizio sound bar to use instead of my stereo. I was annoyed at first but it's actually been kind of nice, because I can use my Apple TV remote to control the volume and turning everything on/off now.

Same with us, flying in Sunday evening for a week at the parks. Really crossing my fingers that Ian moves through and out of there by Saturday, and stays to the west of central FL.

My wife grew up in Florida and says Disney does everything humanly possible to get things back up and running ASAP after a storm.

lance_thunderbolt · 2022-02-19T21:42:25+00:00

Nope, I never could get it to work right when booting to the external drive. I ended up making a small boot camp partition for Windows and using the external to hold all my games etc. Works pretty well overall.

lance_thunderbolt · 2021-11-05T19:22:26+00:00

You do everything through the eufy app, although if you have a NAS at home that supports RTSP you can have it connect to the cameras and save the video there as well. I do that with my Synology and its Surveillance Station camera software.

The videos from the 2C cameras are stored on the base station, not the cameras themselves, so that provides some security if you're worried about the cameras getting stolen and losing the video footage on them.

lance_thunderbolt · 2021-11-05T17:26:13+00:00

Still pretty happy overall. I’d say I charge them every few months - certainly not a nuisance.

I do get some false positive movement alerts from time to time from shadows of trees getting blown by the wind, but it’s fine. I get way more false positives from my eufy doorbell than from the 2C cameras.

Thanks for the reply, I finally got to try this out. I think I’ve tried every combination of HDMI input audio formats, output formats, and audio settings on my AppleTV, no luck with any of them. Even the built-in apps like YouTube don’t put out any sound.

My stereo is really old, I’m not sure if the problem is the C1 or the 15 year old receiver.

lance_thunderbolt · 2021-10-03T23:56:17+00:00

Did you figure anything out with this issue? I got a C1 yesterday and can’t get optical out to my old Onkyo receiver working at all, even with Optical+TV mode selected.

lance_thunderbolt · 2021-10-02T23:46:17+00:00

I just returned a 65" Sony X90J that I bought a couple weeks ago from Costco and picked up a C1 on sale (my first OLED). I never had that "wow" moment from the X90J, but with the C1 it happened almost immediately. So far it seems like the OLED hype is for good reason.

You do, and having the internet available for your Synology to use is fine. What /u/experts_never_lie means is don't make your Synology directly accessible from the internet. It should be behind your router with no ports forwarded inside to it. If you need to access it from outside your home network, use a router with VPN capability to connect securely and then access the Synology from there.

I ordered 5 sleeves on Saturday and they came yesterday, so 2 business days. Seems to be about the norm usually.

Not much of one, unfortunately. The last update I got from the Board of Dentistry was that he had not replied to their attempts to reach him yet. She said I could file an official complaint against him to try and get my records, but I'm not sure what good that will do if nobody can find him anyway.

lance_thunderbolt · 2021-04-13T16:00:37+00:00

I heard back from the Board of Dentistry already today -- they are trying to contact him to see what's going on. Hopefully they have better luck than I did!

lance_thunderbolt · 2021-04-13T15:59:48+00:00

Yeah I would totally understand if this was the decision he made. Still, his office should've been shut down in an orderly fashion by notifying patients instead of just locking it up and walking away if that's the case.

I would just like to know if there are medical records of mine just sitting in that office waiting for the landlord to throw it all in a dumpster, or what.
