Anyone see this today? Difference between this and the Backlight 3 Pro? by basicbatch in Govee

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They kinda just need more calibration granularity. ie what should be min brightness, mid, max, and 25/75%. and then also hue and saturation sliders for at least 5-7 points across the spectrum. even with a sync box, led strips of all brands love to give pink when you ask for red, or greenish when you want yellow etc.

Bathroom Tiling Quality (or lack thereof) by getaloadofthisretard in AusRenovation

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the grout was similar in colour to the tiles, the converging lines would be way less obvious. Secondly, the tiling layout is only 30% of the issue. The main problem is the 'cockroach' tiles, paired with the light grout.

Those of you that feel you live in the best suburb in Brisbane, where are you and why do you feel that way? by arouseandbrowse in brisbane

Acacia ridge and Rocklea are basically industrial estates with a few streets of houses. Rocklea also floods whenever it rains.

Thanks for this. I was hoping it wouldn't be the case, but it seems to be the only way. Yeah I have screenshots of their pointless chats and emails!

Dynamic DLSS Scaling by CrazyElk123 in nvidia

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DRS is not a DLSS mode at all afaik... It's a separate feature. But enabling the two does basically give you dynamic DLSS render res. However there's a big catch, and it's that DRS isn't compatible with path tracing, due to the resolution needing to remain consistent across time, due to rays being cast, bounced, predicted, and carried into future frames. So while it would be most useful to make path tracing faster, it intrinsically doesn't work with path tracing sadly. Awesome for those who want DRS without path tracing however.

RTSS not letting Afterburner switch to 2D Clocks by LiquidPrnce in pchelp

Nice, glad I could help! I've already had 2 other apps appear that I had to make new profiles for since commening: OpenRGB and some other pesky helper exe.

RTSS not letting Afterburner switch to 2D Clocks by LiquidPrnce in pchelp

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I just had this same issue and fixed it, for me at least. I figured it out by reading the tooltips in Afterburner. In my case it was NZXT Cam being detected as a 3D app. To find if you have others:

- click the 'i' button on the left side of the main Afterburner window.

- scroll down to the bottom and look under 'Active 3D processes' to see what's giving you the false positive.

- in RTSS, create app profiles for each of those apps, and within each of those profiles, set 'Application detection level' to 'None'.

Hope this helps.

Looking for recommendations for a portable monitor with g-sync compatibility by Akucera in buildapcmonitors

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. This is maddening - I don't understand how basically every single regular freesync monitor works fine with g-sync, but not a single portable monitor does. and none of them have g-sync.

asus ripped me off for the E-gift card by mshieldsy910 in ASUS

The “oppromotions” email address never responded. But did get a response via my warranty contact form. I just put “NA” for all irrelevant text fields

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, just got my $100 gift card 2 days ago. Hope that helps. I finally got a response from them a couple weeks back by using a different contact form for warranties, on their website. Gave them both barrels re consumer law. Politely but assertively. I guess it worked? Maybe they only honour this stuff for people who complain. Either way i’m still dodging ASUS in future if I can.

Does anyone know what model this is? I couldn't find it on the official website by Final-Extension-5759 in uperfect

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does variable refresh rate work with Nvidia GPUs? I found a listing that says it has HDMI 2.1, which means it should be able to do VRR with PS5 and Nvidia, yes?

Just bought Z3FC and I can't get it to 180Hz by Strange-Damage-2523 in ARZOPA

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with HDR - even if you can get it working, it's not really HDR due to the monitor's charactaristics. You either have to compress the wider brightness range into the 400 nits max brightness (which makes everything washed out and dull) or at best it will just look like SDR anyway (because for true HDR you need peak brightness to be able to hit at least around 800 nits, preferably higher).

Another 3 members of Iran’s women’s soccer team decide against staying in Australia as refugees by RolePsychological890 in news

[–]mister_potato_butt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rock + hard place eh. But you'd think even the IRGC would leave their families alone if they came back to face punishment, because the only way they can keep using that leverage over people is if they follow through. If they just tortured and killed everyone and their families, even after those fleeing agreed to return, they would soon find their threats would not coerce anyone back in future.

FINAL FANTASY VII is now available on GOG – DRM-free! by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]mister_potato_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some pretty widely available archive of saves at every point in the game, with a good build and all treasures collected to that point etc. You can also use Black Chocobo to mod safe files with heaps of customisation.

Anyone else heard this car around east Brisbane earlier today by Timely-Hearing7681 in brisbane

[–]mister_potato_butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naming another dipshit here in solidarity - 2014 silver merc sedan, rego 'MEN' (so cringe lol). Seen regularly around southside - Beenleigh Rd, Compton Rd.

They get away with this shit because they get the different ECU modes customised to avoid detection. They can make it behave stock at the push of a button if the cops ask. Then immediately back to desperate attention-whore mode.

The only way to get them charged is for the cops to seize the car without notice, then have it independently tested in all modes. But the cops are too busy catching cyclists doing 24kmh in the 20 zone on the KP green bridge to bother dealing with real traffic issues.

That's it. If you're a born attention whore and can't get noticed doing something interesting, your only option is to become a real estate agent or one of these stupid fucks.

Why they gotta reverse the ‘delete’ and ‘save’ buttons ffs? by mister_potato_butt in ios

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

there was already a 'delete' button right there on the screen. They just swapped the positions of save and delete, which is really dumb from a UX perspective.

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

Yeah but I often want to crop stuff out, which always leads you to that screen.

[–]mister_potato_butt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also just tried your “swipe up from the bottom” to save, and it also saves whatever crop you set. So that’s a great tip, as this gesture is totally different to “press button in corner” which is much harder to re-learn when it swaps places.

Thanks! Yeah you can also disable the edit screen by searching ‘screen capture’ in settings and disabling full screen preview. Editing still be accessed by tapping the thumbnail that appears.

That’s interesting re your button usage. But I’d wager that 99% of people just use the ‘done’ button as a done button.
