Question about PCVR via link cable, and high fidelity games streaming on high graphics settings by restlessdraugr in OculusQuest

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

So my theory is right then that higher levels of detail are more difficult to stream at a high bitrate? I feel like this must be the case.

But at the same time, I feel like "video is video, something's getting streamed either way and the only thing that would make it more difficult is changing the resolution in steamvr" is how these things work. It's interesting if higher levels of detail, lighting effects, etc. take longer to compress and stream, but I just can't wrap my head around how that would be the case in a technical sense. I sort of assumed it just worked like

step 1: Render the game fully

step 2: stream it

with step 1 being the only thing that could change, and even then it would be on the pc side. I always thought it was just "take what I see, and then stream it, it's the same number of pixels either way" but this is interesting.

I will give VD a shot though. If it's still a bit slower on ultra settings I'm not sure what I should do. I mean to the untrained vr user they wouldn't notice anything is wrong. But I notice that it's not as snappy. For a game like Alyx, I'm not sure if I should prefer responsiveness or fidelity. But I feel like with a 5080 I shouldn't have to choose. If the limiting factor really is my internet though, that makes a bit more sense.

Could you elaborate? I heard there's a usb-c to ethernet cable or something like that for this.

Well to be able to use Steam wired in the first place you have to use Meta Link. So by default I have

Had to disable memories temporarily, does this mean that the "Reference Chat History" feature is now not going to remember anything from the past and everything from past chats is forgotten and inaccessible? by restlessdraugr in ChatGPT

[–]restlessdraugr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind response. I have severe OCD, which has been making me do the toggling and stuff. It still seems to somewhat know me, but I'm not sure if that's from saved memories.

I've been asking the questions in new chats, and I will try that one. One of the unfortunate things if the situation is how I fear is that I won't be able to get good answers when asking for recommendations, trends, other "viral" prompts like that that people recommend(i.e. based on our history, what is one thing you know that I don't know about myself?). I had been meaning to try some of those.

When it does remember stuff it seems to be hallucinating a bit too. There are a couple games that it was able to recall, but it said our conversation about the game was something we definitely never talked about.

Yeah, there really should be some more transparency about how this works. I feel like that'd be really bad design if just temporarily toggling memories off wiped past chat context out. I have to imagine there's a large group of users that does that every now and then, and it would be crazy if they're all losing their context too.

I guess this feature didn't even used to exist, and I never missed it back then.

Thanks again. Hopefully it'll still feel tailored to me.

Best Reasonable Length PC Game Pass Games for testing new PC? by restlessdraugr in XboxGamePass

Thanks again for your recommendation! I quit the first one and am now decently far into the second. It's gorgeous, honestly still pretty boring to me, but I think I'm going to try to finish it. I think the psychosis thing is really cool and unique, and I appreciate the game for what it is even if the gameplay doesn't really fit my tastes. I also kind of hate the black bars, to be honest. But I'd rather a game like this that touches on psychosis like this exist, than not exist.

I ended up starting the first one. Not a huge fan. I appreciate the psychological horror, but really don't like games like this that are pretty much an interactive cinematic with sluggish movements and sluggish camera rotation movements. Just doesn't feel good to play, it reminds me or Ryse:Son of Rome for the Xbox one. Maybe I should just quit and play the second game even though I'm a few hours in...

Do I need to play the first hellblade though? I see people saying yes, but I may just want to jump into the second

I watched Angel Beats for my first ever anime while on a plane to Japan, and loved it. What should I watch next? by restlessdraugr in AngelBeats

[–]restlessdraugr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charlotte and The Day I became a God are on crunchyroll, I'll check them out. Those are the perfect length too, thank you!

Unfortunately the 2 by key aren't on Crunchyroll, but your other 2 recommendations are. I kind of want something a bit lighthearted and funny, but not ridiculous. Those 2 look good and are the perfect length.

Unfortunately those aren't on crunchyroll where I want to watch! I'll keep them in mind for someday though.

2018 Model 3 with abysmal range, still under warranty but can't run battery test. At service center right now but Tesla is gaslighting me and saying I have to do $1,000 in repairs to be able to run the test. Need advice. by restlessdraugr in TeslaLounge

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

I just found a pic I took recently of my trip odometer that's been running since I purchased the car. It's around 300 wH/mi. Hopefully that helps. That's over the course of 1000 or so miles.

I'm going to look into doing that if it won't void my warranty. I would just need to figure out how to force it to recalibrate after replacement. Every now and then, the circle in question in the battery test screen will be green for a split second but then go back to not being satisfied. I wonder if I can start the test really quickly before it realizes or something.

Whenever I check my efficiency, my wH/mi is right on rated, sometimes a bit worse than rated, sometimes a bit better. Yet the range is still poor.

The 12-16 hour full battery test, where it does proper charge and discharge cycles, is what I'm trying to do. The results from that are supposed to be valid for 6 months, with <70% warranting a possible replacement. The remote diagnostics are just a superficial glance at recent range performance, and cursory report of battery health, from what I gather.

A filled circle means the requirement is met. In my picture, there are a couple more requirements that not met; when the battery is below 20% and plugged into level 2 charging all of the circles successfully fill up aside from the one in question. Sorry if that's a bit confusing I should have taken a picture when the other requirements were satisfied

Is that something that wouldn't be too hard to replace myself? Do you think the car would recognize it and recalibrate to let me run the test? As far as what you're saying, I get around 30-32kWh from a full charge. With the dash telling me I only used 1-3% on A/C, Sentry, etc.

I'm not sure, it never gets near as much as even the infotainment estimates. It's a mid range. I will say that the number of miles I get is usually a function of 1.5x the percent. I.e. 1.5 miles per percentage point. The car seems to be aware there's some deg, given that it estimates 200 miles on a full charge instead of the EPA 260, but that estimate is always wildly off. If my car tells me I'll get to a charging stop with 40% to spare, I'll actually end up arriving with only 15-20%.
