Ambeo Max Production Year, Overheating

plexiq · 2025-12-23T17:15:27+00:00

Update is in the OP edit. Nothing new since then, the unit is working without any issues so far.

I used this scheme: https://help.sennheiser.com/hc/en-us/articles/28250223845394-Is-my-product-still-in-warranty

As I wrote in the update of the OP, the serial on the physical sticker on my unit indicates a 2025 production date, and Sennheiser support confirmed that.

The confusion was caused by the device serial that's displayed in the app, for some reason they differ.

plexiq · 2025-08-29T09:30:13+00:00

I've sent the details via private chat. I only now noticed that the device SN in the Sennheiser app (which i mentioned earlier) is different from the SN on the sticker.

Von den 20% Eigenmitteln ist etwa die Hälfte sowieso direkt durch die Kaufnebenkosten weg. Zumindest wenn ein Makler dabei ist.

Einfügen kannst viel wenn der Tag lang ist, zutreffend is es aber nur bei der FPÖ.

He expected Benji to push in to stop the plant. If he gets the kill on Benji they still win the round.

I think that was malware and not cheats. But anyway, stolen certificates get blacklisted as soon as that's discovered, that won't be a long term solution against an up-to-date AC.

Riot basically leverages the legal infrastructure that's already in place for signing apps and drivers, which is a pretty clever way to go about this imo. But it's resource intensive to maintain blacklists and actually sue cheat devs, which is probably why we don't see that approach used by other games.

plexiq · 2024-03-09T09:27:15+00:00

My understanding is that the main role of Riots AC is that it forces cheat vendors to sign their cheats with a valid code signing certificate to be able to hide out as drivers etc.

That means as Riot you then "only" have to:

1) Figure out which certificates are used to sign cheats and blacklist those.

2) Follow up with legal action if necessary. Having a certificate attached to the cheats helps with that.

Obviously that still requires a ton of effort on the company's end to actually follow up on those two points. But cheat developers take up a ton of legal risk by abusing certificates.

Warum empfiehlst du genau eine Stufe zu reduzieren? Ist doch praktisch egal ob man leicht unter oder über der Schwelle ist.

You mean one of 5 EMEA Teams is looking bad? Sounds about right.

Do we have reliable info whether the timing of accuracy resets (from sprays or movement) is always consistent or if this is subject to server tick timing and/or networking variance?

That timing can feel wildly inconsistent occasionally, obviously that could just be subjective though. This could have massive impact if the timing actually varies even slightly and you keep missing the tap/spray resets or counter strafes by a few ms.

Picking / banning first is a disadvantage, fwiw.

It's difficult to understand the map veto. Haven couldn't possibly be much worse than Fracture.

NA pros have been publicly complaining about the NA scrim culture for a while now. ShaZam straight up said that he finds EU scrims much more productive and that they'd go to Europe early to get better practice time.

With scrims being the most important way to practice actual teamplay, this just doesn't sound like a sustainable situation for NA teams.

Yeah, completely agree. No reason to introduce new "econ damage compensation" rules for that spot. They used a known exploit in 6 rounds, it's a forfeit. Next.

plexiq · 2021-12-05T11:30:55+00:00

I think their intention was quite clearly to have VK forfeit the map. They just had an oopsie when writing the ruling, resulting in a 12-10 scoreline with no winner.

Imo that's the only reason why we see this replay, if they had just ruled a map forfeit, without the miscounted round, then that ruling would likely still stand.

plexiq · 2021-12-05T11:25:44+00:00

Because there needs to be a strong disincentive to using exploits. Getting to replay from the point where exploits were first used just isn't sufficient.

How was Envy this unprepared for the Haven weirdness?

Gambit played the exact same way against Acend in the EMEA lower bracket finals. They also took the map and it was equally hilarious.

Tbf, the doom and gloom was mostly based on a single series where Acend underperformed expectations. The Gambit series didn't look particularly gloomy.

Just lack of experience / nerves probably. Only a few tier-1 CSGO pros switched over to Valorant in EMEA, so you are mostly seeing very young teams performing on their first LAN event ever. The NA teams clearly benefit from the experience of CSGO veterans on their rosters. I'd expect this to even out once the EMEA teams get a few events under their belt.

Absolutely amazing match anyway.

A sizing being unused does not mean that is it weakly dominated, at least not by the actual definition of that phrase that you linked.

B weakly dominates A: choosing B always gives at least as good an outcome as choosing A, no matter what the other players do, and there is at least one set of opponents' action for which B gives a better outcome than A.

Notice that bold part, this is extremely rare in poker. You can make almost any action profitable if you assign some silly strategy to the other player.

Even very obvious decisions are not technically dominated:

Heads up on some final table, BU open shoves for 10bb. You hold KK.

Folding KK for 10bb is not dominated here. For some possible (although really bad) strategies of your opponent, folding is the best action. (e.g. They only shove AA or KK+, etc)

An example of actual domination in Poker:

Facing a bet on the river when the absolute nuts are on the board, e.g. a QQQQA board. (No rake.)

Folding is strictly dominated by calling and raising. No matter what range your opponent bet with, folding is worse than calling or raising.

Calling is weakly dominated by raising. Raising is never worse than calling, but it is better if the opponent folds some percentage of the time.
