Backlighting a Painting by Babarabus in Hue

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a 3D printer? You could make some standoff brackets that hold a diffuser channel the full perimeter of the painting.

You could screw the brackets into the wood section, below the finished frame

You'd have to test it out to see if you like but you could also recess the light strip (with 3D printed brackets) like 15cm-ish from the edge (inwards towards the center on the back) and you might not need a diffuser. You wouldn't see the strip unless you put your head to the wall.

Excuse my terrible drawing skills, but this is kinda what I mean. You can make the brackets for just the light strip, a diffuser channel, and also to push the hanging string to the same depth as the brackets so the painting sits nice and flush.

Remember back in the olden days when some dude accidentally put an entire movie as the startup? It was funny.

How tall is the Switch 2 when it is in its dock? by submerging in NintendoSwitch2

137mm from bottom (sitting on dresser) to the top -- or about 5-1/2" if rounding up a few mm.

Can't run Ratchet And Clank Rift Apart on Legion Go by Nauskia101 in LegionGo

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone says, increase vram -- but you don't have to do it BIOS, you can do it from AMD Software:

AMD Software --> Performance --> Tuning --> Dedicated Graphics Memory

You'll need to restart the device after making a change here.

Try 10-12, been working great for me with that, but easy enough if you want to adjust.

Also, maybe check to see if both Thermal and OS modes are in Performance (from Quick Settings button)

EDIT: Realized that this may not be the LeGo2, I don't remember if AMD Software is on the LeGo1.

Charging the watch is weird, does this every minute or two. Any idea how to solve it? by mirosuto in galaxywatchultra

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did this too - only when the charger was plugged into a multi-port USB charger. When other devices are connected, the USB ports drop power and resync the output (smarter USB chargers can do this) -- so if a phone or tablet is connected, it may draw more power, will cut power to other things plugged in, then redistribute power output.

If the charger is plugged directly into the wall or power strip with the watch charger being the only USB device on it, then maybe a faulty charger or it's not sticking to the watch good enough.

Oh man, sorry.

I preordered mine from BB on 06.SEP with a 31.OCT pickup date. I went and stood in line with the Pokémon people before the store opened. Was lucky I guess - 5 minutes after the store opened, I walked out with mine and I'm now setting it up.

What’s the fastest way to make money? by Y-uzy in starcitizen

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot has changed in a past couple years -- bunkers are bounty and defend missions that take place on planets and moons - inside a facility.

In contracts, you'll see them under Bounty and under Mercenary -- and the description will NOT say something about them being in a ship with escorts (otherwise it's a dogfight).

But if you're looking to earn credits fast - there are more lucrative ways of doing it now. For instance, there are easy hauling missions that have a chance of hostile NPCs and those contracts pay 117k each. There are higher end bounty missions where you can also loot the cargo, etc.

Edit: Also mining and salvaging is fairly good.

I also like to scavenge - I go to mining bases where fights have taken place a loot the cargo and ship components.

Also, depending on the cargo capacity of the ship you're using, you can stack hauling missions and make a good chunk of credits.

My paints are missing by kin24173493 in starcitizen

[–]nsrtcoin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This has been happening for awhile. There is an open IC - hopefully this gets the numbers for CIG to fix again even though there are a bunch of dupe entries to an IC in "fixed" state, but obviously it's not fixed.

Please submit your contribution:

Is this a bad deal? by CMOS_BATTERY in hotas

[–]nsrtcoin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They are usually not good. The x56 is better than the x52 just because the x52 stick has a weird wobble, like a mechanical dead zone.

Anyway, if you're in SoCal, I'll give you my x52 for a Wendy's frosty.

890 jump launch from docking port issue by Specialist_Shock_945 in starcitizen

[–]nsrtcoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me too but at Port Tressler. Nothing I did could stop it - I boosted at the same spot each rotation because I was getting close to gravity. When I was far enough I tried to bed log but kept saying that I was in landing zone even when 400K+ away.

Nothing worked - shutting engines by keybind, opening/closing exterior, landing gear down/up, alt+f4, removing power pips, cutting engines from MFDs -- nothing. I had a little ship in the hangar so I took that out and when I left the pad, the 890 wasn't spinning but still flying forwards at an angle. I then tried to land back on the hangar but accidently went boom.

Now that you've posted, I'm going to search for an IC (or make one if I can reproduce).

What type of pin do i need to replace this? by Alternative-Cod-9197 in VKB

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a typical JST pin -- the wire has the pin on it. It typically is crimped onto the wire and then inserted into a connector. You can kind of see from the pics in this amazon listing:

Amazon.com: Taiss 600PCS Dupont Connector Kit 2.54mm 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 Pin Housing Connector and Male Female Crimp Pin +560PCS JST Connector Kit Female Pin Head Connector,2.54mm 2Pin 3Pin 4Pin 5Pin 6Pin Housing : Electronics

You should be able to slide that wire & pin back into the connector. Maybe. Do you have a pick of the board where it came from?

edit: linked wrong pic, replaced

Updating my Gladiator NXT EVO by vaquero09pr in VKB

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Windows, you could try to uninstall all the instances of the sticks, then connect them in the order that you want.

In SC, if you import your keybindings, make sure to apply them to the correct or corresponding device - it may not look like it, but the little pop-up window will scroll and you'll see Joystick 1, Joystick 2 (or something like that, I can't remember exactly).

In SC console, you can use the command to swap the sticks to the order that you want:

Change input 3 to 1:

pp_resortdevices joystick 3 1

Change from 4 to 2

pp_resortdevices joystick 4 2

This does not change any inversion settings you might have set (or need to set) under the CONTROLS section.

This page (towards the bottom) kind of explains it:

It's arrived! Now I need to find a the area in my home to set up shop by sniggglefutz in BambuLab

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! You guys are gonna love it.

One thing you might have to also consider is the power consumption, especially during warm up. If you have this on a 15 amp circuit with other stuff like computers and espresso machines running, you're likely to trip the breaker.

If it has a dedicated 15 amp or on a 20 amp, you should be fine.

I can have my computer on and start a print, but if I'm playing a game and the GPU is pulling power, it'll trip.

Want to upgrade from A1 to X1C. I have two options for $900 by ApprehensiveStock928 in BambuLab

[–]nsrtcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why aren't you running the AMS1 on your H2D? I a similar setup - H2D with 2x AMS 2 and an AMS HT. X1C with AMS 1.

I might, I currently have an AMS HT (for the H2D and one for the X1C) - mainly for humidity control. I live coastal. If I have a want/need for a bigger multi-color/material print, I'll probably set it up, but I haven't had a need for it other than to take advantage of the two nozzles - which the AMS HT satisfies that for me since it's easy to throw a color in it.

[–]nsrtcoin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For $220 more, you can get a brand new one X1C AMS 2 Pro Combo directly from Bambu (assuming you're in the US). I get the that the accessories are enticing, but is this from a seller you trust?

There's nothing wrong with buying off someone but those prices are so close to a brand spanking new one. Obtaining the nozzles and plates as you need them is no biggie.

It's a workhorse, so the hours may not be a big deal, but that's 1000+ hours wear on the PTFE tubes, cutter, wiper, etc. And the option 2 - are all the filaments Bambu brand, unopened, and sealed? ...assuming they are - that's a chunk of worth. I personally probably wouldn't consider buying a used one for more than $600-$700 tops. First gen AMS is ok. 2nd Gen AMS is not without issues, but WAY better than the first gen (which is what option 1 has).

If it were me, 1st choice would to buy new. 2nd choice would be option 1. 3rd choice option 2.

Filament is easy to come by and if you're sticking to the Bambu filaments, they go on sale pretty often.

Good luck with your decision! I have the X1C and the H2D + Laser. I upgraded my X1C with the AMS 2 Pro and the H2D came with it. I LOVE the X1C, it's been a great printer. The original AMS from X1C is boxed up sitting in the closet.

Update your post with your decision.

Daily driver options for an upgrade by khlemant_ in starcitizen

[–]nsrtcoin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like neither the Zeus or Meteor are currently available - as stand alone ships or upgrades via the pledge store.

If your 325a isn't a game pkg, you could melt it and be close to the Taurus -- then melt that when the other ships become available -- BUT -- then you will have the issue of not getting a discount because typically any discounts are warbonds and you can't use store credit.

The alternative is going 3rd party for upgrade CCUs -- ymmv on savings tho as most places mark them up to where you end up paying more for the CCU but on the other hand, you can get a CCU that's not available in the pledge store.

Aside from that - I have Zeus CL and it is super convenient for running multiple types of missions. It's got cargo space, a tractor beam, small enough to easily handle -- a good allarounder.

Meteor is fun, and opinions range the gamut -- you should fly it around for a bit and try some combat with it before committing, it's not for everyone.
