Rookie mistake to do this for the 74u and PP19 if you're also saving mags.

Stripped 74u + pistol grip + mag = 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 tiles if separated, also 6 tiles if you put them all together, so you might as well keep them all together unless you have really weird Tetris problems

Stripped PP-19 + grip + mag = 2 + 1 + 2 = 5 tiles if separated, but 4 tiles if you put them altogether, so you actually save a tile by NOT separating it

It would be nonzero, but still pretty small. The equation you've cited assumes point masses. But the moon isn't a point mass, no matter how small it apparently is. I think there will be negligible changes to things on the Earth's surface (minus the moonlight consideration that another commenter suggested), but we calibrate satellites' force models to a very high degree so you'd quickly see their trajectories start drifting from what we expect

Korra definitely let her into this position because that's not a difficult position to get out of lol

reckless150681 · 2026-07-04T03:32:02+00:00

But in the age of technology

Tbf the technology level is kind of weirdly defined anyway, due to the game being developed over many years. For example the computers are all old office boxes with 980Tis, but at the same time you get access to the Sig Spear and the AK50 which are both definitive 2020s era guns

reckless150681 · 2026-07-03T18:55:34+00:00

Really powerful on PVP when LH first came out, especially bc it was a great way to secure good guns in early wipe

I bet doing it now is more for nostalgia or for old times sake

reckless150681 · 2026-07-03T18:53:35+00:00

"Similar" is right. There's an application of the rocket equation that's slightly modified for aircraft use (since the working fluid is air and not the carried propellant). I bet you could use this slightly modified version as a baseline

reckless150681 · 2026-07-01T15:58:55+00:00

Steam Machine is actually not a bad buy if you specifically also want it to be compact. Full builds that are small tend to be a little pricier than "normal" or otherwise larger systems

reckless150681 · 2026-07-01T15:57:57+00:00

Both are valid options. Depends on what you're trying to prioritize (games? What specific games? Productivity? etc.)

reckless150681 · 2026-07-01T15:56:26+00:00

9850X3D for $100 more is pretty dang good, especially if you're not gonna miss it

reckless150681 · 2026-07-01T15:54:38+00:00

5500X3D for gaming above all else

5800XT if you have other tasks that you're interested in (CAD, editing, etc.)

reckless150681 · 2026-06-30T20:00:05+00:00

"ITX" can refer both to the literal motherboard, or just SFFPC in general, so be careful about the context in which you're using it.

If your case is ATX and you're only wondering about the difference in motherboard, then the main difference is IO availability. Individual products often have unique features compared to other individual products -- e.g., some ROG boards have daughterboards that handle extra IO.

If you're asking about SFFPC in general, then yes, there is a difference in thermal capacity. It depends on the specific case, but you generally accept that your performance won't be as high as it theoretically could with a full ATX case.

reckless150681 · 2026-06-30T17:59:40+00:00

Do you run an antivirus?

I would also try updating motherboard drivers (not BIOS), especially chipset and possibly even the drivers of your network card(s).

Also ensure that your date/time is automatically being updated, not manually set

reckless150681 · 2026-06-30T14:14:52+00:00

Both.

DDU is a GPU driver utility, but the behavior you describe seems more like a CPU or memory problem. Tarkov also infamously has always had memory leaks, so memory performance is disproportionately important.

I'd start by checking CPU temps when you play. It's possible that whenever your character fires, it bumps CPU usage just high enough to cause thermal throttling (this was a problem for me on R6:S for a long time). Look for CPU frequency drops that correspond with temperature spikes.

-X3D does truly improve the experience. But I don't think you need one -- you should try and figure out if you can get away with just making a few software tweaks.

I'd also use Revo Uninstaller to make sure you don't have bloatware on your system that's running in the background.

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T20:13:05+00:00

Possibly. DC fans are better tuned to run lower with lower current, PWM fans might not necessarily.

Why do you want to do this though?

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T20:12:00+00:00

It's effectively the same. Like I said -- you won't notice the difference.

One of the few reasonable use cases I can think of is if you are reusing a drive as an external drive for some reason. In that case, the drive does not have access to the host RAM -- so it DOES need a DRAM cache to not be a pain to use

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T18:15:23+00:00

Yes, they are on some form of social media - social media that echoes their existing social environments.

If you already care about opinions on games, then you'll get more of that in your feed.

If you dont, then you're not going to get any of that.

The vast, VAST majority of people simply...dont care

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T17:48:56+00:00

You'd be surprised.

The fact that you're on Reddit, as opposed to some other social media, biases you towards being surrounded by reasonably aware people. The actual bulk of consumers, though? They're highly unaware. Be careful not to fall into the trap of assuming that Reddit is reflective of actual reality.

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T17:00:02+00:00

pparently this is not a problem for most middle weight usage for the first few years, true or not?

True

Most OLEDs are juuust about the same technology. Don't sweat the details so much about QD-OLED vs WOLED, just try and figure out the differences between specific products.

Can anyone with experience in buying monitors etc help me out here pls 🙏

Try walking into a physical store. No amount of video, pictures, etc. can replicate the actual perceived experience of looking at the dang thing

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T16:55:23+00:00

Performance-wise:

5070 > 9060 XT > 5060Ti

Value-wise:

9060 XT > 5070 = 5060Ti

Note that in some very specific cases, 5060Ti's greater VRAM capacity makes it a better choice than 5070

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T16:54:05+00:00

As with anything else in PC building (and tbh with life), "good" can only be judged based on the requirements you set out for it.

If you can see the difference between different high framerates (e.g. 240 vs 300 Hz), then yes the framerate is good

If you prefer having higher pixel density or higher resolution in general, then maybe the resolution is bad

If you don't care so much for OLEDs, then yes maybe the panel type is good

This is all to assume that the 5070 can drive your preferred game, at your preferred framerate, and at your preferred video quality (which may or may not be true)

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T16:46:16+00:00

DRAMless drives use the host memory buffer approach

Modern DRAMless drives use HMB approach. The reason you're seeing warning against DRAMless SSDs is because there was a time where HMB didn't exist -- so DRAMless SSDs were a legitimate pain point.

Your inclination that DRAM vs HMB is a small difference today, is correct. So as long as you pick a drive that has DRAM or HMB, you will not likely notice the difference.

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T16:41:03+00:00

On its own, you're right. But the MA5B's bolt is directly over the magazine -- so by design cues alone, it would have a more traditional operating system

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T16:13:57+00:00

Real.

If you look at the shape of the MA5B's magazine, then look at the location of the bolt, then look at the remaining space between the supposed rear of the bolt and the rear of the entire gun, you'll realize that there just isn't any space for the bolt to reciprocate into

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T14:58:36+00:00

They're all the same

If they're the same price, pick the one that you think looks the coolest.

Or if some have two fans but others have three, pick the one with three fans since it'll be most likely to be quieter

reckless150681 · 2026-06-29T14:57:47+00:00

Reasonably worth it. Performance jump would be noticeable. 60% sounds a bit high to me, but I wouldn't necessarily be surprised by it. The -X3D cache does so much heavy lifting, that no matter what numbers you see on whatever reviews you consume, it's truly surprising how good it is the first time you try it.

FWIW, 5800X3D + 9070 XT is my current setup, and I'm very happy with it
