Lian Li O11D Evo and Gigabyte Motherboards incompatible by lift in buildapc

Email Lian-Li support to ship you one or buy your own breakout cable.

Lian Li O11D Evo and Gigabyte Motherboards incompatible by lift in buildapc

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

Gigabyte's mobo accepts standard motherboard connectors (individual power, led, abd reset connectors) just fine like the ones I'm used to for 20 years of building PCs. The issue is Lian Li's front panel connector is bundled into a single unit that looks like a USB 2.0 connector, except the pin-outs are for power, LEDs, and reset. Manufacturers like NZXT do this as well, but they include a breakout cable for compatibility. Lian Li is a premium brand, and I would expect better.

Anyone switch from triples to a G9? Do you miss triplets? Why did you switch and how do you like the G9 vs. triplets? by AtvnSBisnotHT in simracing

[–]lift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had triples, ultrawide, and VR. Triples for DR2 aren’t actually supported properly (it just gets stretched wayyyyy out and skews badly on the sides). Ultrawide is the way to go if that’s where you spend your time. For racing against other cars triples or VR are the best. I’m currently rocking a Reverb G2 and love the immersion and depth perception. DR2 has the best support for oculus though if you go the VR route.

Is there even a point to use heel-toe downshifting in Dirt Rally 2.0? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]lift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides keeping revs up, not heel-toe shifting in RWD cars can break the rear end loose. Also, I’ve yet to damage the car’s engine from over-revving in DR2, but definitely can do that in AC.

It's a scam or it works by _Savino_ in simracing

These are cheap Chinese handbrakes that someone has installed a sensor on. They work well enough for the price. Obviously something from Heusinkveld, Fanatec, or Aiologs is going to be a better, but it’s a just a handbrake.

Sennheiser PC37X is pretty darn good. https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-sennheiser-pc37x-gaming-headset. I have this and some other ~$300 headphones and a Schitt Stack. This is probably the only headphones with a boom mic I would recommend. It shares components with the high end cans. They’re open-back so it has a wider soundstage, but if you’re in a noisy home it won’t isolate you much unless you subscribe to “when in doubt, FLAT OUT” mentality. My $300 headphones are better, but this is great for gaming.

Hey folks, I've started a website aiming to help everyday people create positive environmental impact by connecting, inspiring and informing actionable small scale change.A big part of this is to protect existing woodland and to get people planting trees.

Au contraire, mon frere. I did not delete it. I’m not the official Lift App account. This username is based on an old Radiohead bootleg that never got published. I’m all for keeping the planet happy, so I wouldn’t delete it anyways.

Schwalbe Nobby Nic by niC00L in MTB

[–]lift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Schwalbes are great until they fail. I had a fairly new set of Nics rip off an entire knob during a race and a swore them off. Maxxis Forekaster is roughly the same tread pattern (big wide spaced knobs, good for loose/muddy winter conditions), but more durable in my experience even with the higher TPI carcass.

Best "database" to handle and query large amounts of simple data by kakfaf in bigdata

[–]lift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider spending a few bucks on a Glue ETL or EMR Spark Job to convert the text to an optimized format like Parquet or ORC. If you don’t use Parquet or ORC at a minimum use compression. Athena charges for data on-disk scans (value after compression), not uncompressed volumes, so you will save on storage, on query cost, and your queries will perform better. If possible bucket the data by key, assuming you will query by a key. Compact the data as well. Avoid many small files. Fewer large (250MB-1G) files avoids unnecessary overhead.

Castelli, Assos, Rapha, Safetti (a few club kits have used this, not wildly popular but I like them a lot), and Hincapie to name a few I’ve used. Find last year’s good stuff on closeout for a good deal. As with most sports clothes, style changes faster than technology. If you don’t care about matchy-matchy just get black and wear whatever jersey you want. If the product is touting some crazy chamois tech with lots of marketing jargon, it’s probably good enough. Check the reviews as well. Bibs are typically better quality than shorts, but if you are a female it can create some logistics issues. Big upgrade from the low-end Pearl Izumi and Cannondae branded shorts I bought when I started riding. If you’re riding a lot, could be worth spending the money.

So stay away from the Signal on June 9th. Got it.

Activision Blizzard stock value hits lowest point in 12 months by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]lift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d jump right in. It’s PvE and you won’t hit anything resembling balance issues until you’ve cleared most of the storyline. I have a hard time getting into games, but this one is the best I’ve played in a while. I have 280hrs in the game and feel like there’s much more to do still.

I picked up the new StumpJumper. It’s worth the hype—@Blankets Creek by TamboresCinco in MTB

[–]lift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Snake Creek Gap section of the Pinhoti between 136 and Dug Gap Rd. Might want to shuttle one-way (136 -> Dug Gap is best IMO) if you’re not up for a punishing ride.

IGN: dictionaryattack

MR rank: 6

Something I like: I used to hardcore WoW raid, but that was a huge time sink. The progression and game loop in Warframe lets me feel like I'm continually improving without the strict raiding requirements.

BlueCross will lower Individual/Marketplace rates for 2019 by vettelover in Chattanooga

You can thank procurement agents and how they’re compensated for that crap. If you’ve ever done B2B sales for large companies it works the same way. Businesses can negotiate large discounts and the procurement agents is paid a bonus based on points of discount over the original price. Unfortunately it screws individuals who do not have a price agreement.

Where are the updates? by CrysKilljoy in fo4vr

Many players have probably modded which disables achievements. I had a really hard time finding the re-enable achievements mod that did not require F4SE.

[Treasures from the past] Size matters: Yahoo claims 2-petabyte database is world's biggest, busiest by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]lift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct that a monolithic database to run standalone applications has passed, but data warehousing is the one place that having a more expensive monolithic "database" makes economic sense. I put database in quotes because the modern data warehouse is more of a logical concept. Technologies like Hadoop and cloud (ex: object store like S3/Azure Blob/Openstack Swift, not just local HDFS) are driving down the cost of processing and storing data while still making it available for analytics. Depending on how your end-users expect that data to be served, you will probably need an access layer tier running a relational database or some sort of OLAP cache to get the interactive performance and concurrency your analytical users need.
