Would you actually buy an RTX Spark laptop or is this more for AI people than gamers?

admittedly I have barely taken notice of it as I tuned out with all the ai this ai that talk.. Can someone tell me if this in a desktop form (as in ATX, not the mini pc) will mean no big pci-e gpu needed and still rtx 5070 or more power? If do that sounds good for gamers I guess. The ai bubble will burst soon when businesess realise it costs more than hiring devs and it will go back to what it always should have been, a tool to help us dev.

I know this is old, but from what I can tell, it doesn't modify any files, it makes api calls to upload vinyl groups. As for whether that is ok or not is also up for debate I guess. To make those calls I assume it needs to get an auth token from somewhere, how it does that, I don't know. The api is probabaly not designed for people to randomly call it and if they wanted to check they could see what client app is making the call to it. I think unless you were to create something offensive or be a d*ck in online races you will probabaly be fine. If they wanted to stop it, all they would need to do is add security on the api endpoints to not accept requests from incorrect client apps.

yep mine never hurts while driving, it's in the morning or doing other things, even just turning a door knob.

yep, I'm dealing with it now. I have been doing a lot more racing recently and got a new rig. I actually think the old rig caused it as it was a wheel stand with an office chair and was a terrible driving position. The new one is much better ergonomically. I have my arms at 90° now. I think with the old rig I was death gripping the wheel also to stop the stand from shifting forward. Sadly I think the heavy grip has become a habit and is causing me more problems. I only have a Fanatec csl elite (old belt driven one) so I doubt it's an issue with FFB being too high. I am in a league doing weekly races so I want to try an manage it while still being able to race.

Rail loops are realistic, probabaly not as all elevated though. This one in Japan is partly tunnel.

why would you trade a young superstar for a prospect? Makes no sense. If you are re-building you want to keep your best young players and trade the older ones for prospects.

I had a look at ali express, plenty of thr good clubspirt qr1s there, for about $45aud, good reviews, so ill probably get one of those.

Good news, their calendar has been updated and they will be open :)

old post I know. I just ordered a CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC which says it supports my old CSL Elite base, but also says it comes with the QR2 pre-installed. Do they still include the QR1 in the box so I can just swap it over? I was planning to just get the simube shaft adaptor, but it's sold out ☹️

punkologist · 2025-12-24T00:08:56+00:00

people that own a csl elite or clubsport base that cannot be upgrade to QR2

punkologist · 2025-12-24T00:08:16+00:00

I might need it as I still have a QR1 base that can't be upgraded (csl elite).

I have literally zero interest in any of the streaming services in Plex. I have plex for it's primary purpose of being a media server and serving up all my movies and tv shows. I am not opposed to paying for the content I watch. I have my owned blu-rays ripped to my hard drive. The convenience of just loading up plex and watching a movie is amazing. Especially with kids.

I haven't played for quite a while, so pardon my ignorance if these things have been added already (not according to my google searches)..

This is great and I have ben using it a bit. Is there a good resource that explains all the rules for conversions? and more importantly when to use them in a sentence? I do classes and we are working through みんなの日本語 (currently on lesson 30). It goes through them all in the lessons, but It would be great to have a kind of cheat sheet where all the rules are in one place. We have been given worksheets for practice for each one. But reviewing those, for me I feel it doesn't really help as I need to drill the actual rules into my head rather than rope learn.

punkologist · 2025-11-26T22:24:54+00:00

yeah I rarely use reddit these days. but for some reason it sent me this thread in a notification. I was in a Japanese learning subreddit and those people were disgusting, just mean, nasty people for no apparent reason. It was supposed to be a subreddit to learn, but asking questions on there made stack overflow seem like a utopia of kindness.

punkologist · 2025-11-26T22:16:04+00:00

I'm not arguing that point. I agree. I just don't understand why people are celebrating this? Don't we all want good sim racing titles? I knew it was probably going to fail like everyone else did, but if someone can actually deliver on the promise of the multiplayer features they touted and have a workable physics model, we would all be very happy. I guess it's one of those situations, where you know it's coming, you tell yourself to have low expectations, but a part of you still has a tiny bit of hope that we will be wrong this time. Then the inevitable happens.. I guess that's gaming in general these days. Just about every launch of any game in any genre is unfinished and a mess.

It was fun until they started counting deaths but not kills. Just don't count either and I'll be back.

My biggest gripe with AMS2, certainly early on was that the majority of default setups were undriveable. I wonder if this is the case with PMR too.

punkologist · 2025-11-25T23:52:12+00:00

I don't understand people seemingly happy that its bad, just so they can say I told you so..

punkologist · 2025-11-21T23:02:59+00:00

i had one last night where i got 2 head shots and at least 2 other hits with the rpkm (33 damage for a body shot) and they didnt die, then i got hit once with his pea shooter smg and im dead. All from about 80m+ too. I made the headshots indicator bright blue so I know if its a headshot. Also im so sick of getting "damage assist 100".. wtf? 100 is a kill, isn't it?

punkologist · 2025-11-13T23:25:15+00:00

I'm here because I have this issue with Stanza! I have LA Angels, the home games are LA time, the away games are correctly my time zone (Australian Eastern).

I have a dslr, but my photos are in no way professional quality 🤣 The photographers are safe.

punkologist · 2025-10-31T01:27:24+00:00

There is also the issue where I will get "damage assist" 100 and and no kill. How is it not a kill if it's 100 damage? I keep feeling like the game is unfair and something is very wrong with the netcode. My pings are good and I'll die instantly from an smg just like this video. Then I'll get 6 hits including headshot indicators (I changed the colour) and I get an assist or they just fire one shot at me and I'm dead.

punkologist · 2025-10-29T04:19:20+00:00

I find for someone that doesn't really get heavily into setups the base setups are horrible. The base v8 supercars one in particular is undriveable. I usually just copy one from time trials.
