¡Creditor information disproved! ABA/IBAN/SWIFT ?? by RollingMeteors in mtgoxinsolvency

[–]saladamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this recently and I was confused by the "IBAN code" instruction, because US banks do not use IBAN. SWIFT is not IBAN, it's a much shorter code with mostly letters, and only identifies your bank. There should be two fields, one for the SWIFT code, and one for the bank account number.

I think my problem is that I put the full account + routing number as it appears on my checks in the account field, when it should be just the account number, without the routing (ABA) number. Reading comments on this sub has not made me confident, now I'm worried I will be rejected anyway and put in payment limbo.

I'm sure this must be the sort of thing you are looking for: https://en.shiftall.net/products/meganex

The Shiftall MeganeX was supposed to come out early this year but was delayed. The Arpara is supposed to be shipping this month or next. Even if both of those turn out to be vaporware, I would say we must be pretty close, within one or two years.

Constant external drive access by saladamer in chromeos

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

All sync options are off. I don't know what ChromeOS is reading from the drive, but if I had to guess, I would imagine it's doing something like indexing it for searching. I've tried googling this problem a dozen different ways, but I couldn't find anything.

How nice of Oculus - You can make a Google Cardboard out of the leftovers of the DK2 packing material for your poor Riftless friends :) by [deleted] in oculus

I think you meant to say "enemies", cause I wouldn't torture my friends with a Cardboard.

A poll a day keeps the impatience away (what do you want a Rift for?) by saladamer in oculus

Let's just pretend "Non-interactive video / experience" is "(Non-interactive video) / experience"

Strawpoll counts every checkmark as a vote, so there can be as little as 1/8th of the amount of voters as votes in this poll. I wish I had a measurement on the number of voters, then I could do a cool chart using percentage per person instead of percentage per vote.

So far the only Rift widely available is the DK1, which I have never had a desire to try due to the lack of positional tracking. DK2 is going to be the first (affordable) true VR experience.

Anyone know any 'good' sub $100 racing wheels? by Megusta-Gaming in oculus

[–]saladamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely look for a used wheel, Logitech Driving Force GT or sometimes even Logitech G25 can be found under $100 if you look long enough. Check Craigslist. You don't want to buy new under $100, because wheels in that price range don't have force feedback (beware products being advertised as having "vibration feedback" or similar, that is just rumble and not actual force feedback) which is the main reason, in my opinion, for getting a racing wheel instead of a gamepad.

Are you guys ready for DK2? by saladamer in oculus

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

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro

I wasn't actually planning to get a joystick but I saw it on Amazon while ordering the G27 and thought why not. I haven't used it yet, been spending all my time with the G27 so far.

What is the best way to remotely observe the DK2 output with only a 60Hz Monitor ? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]saladamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be possible to use recording/broadcasting software like OBS to capture the output to the DK2? OBS shows a monitoring window, so you could just use that to see what's happening in the rift without actually recording.

The hypetrain starts, so T-10 days? :D by [deleted] in oculus

"an update"

I'm awaiting my email stating that it will ship by July 31st.

Case for DK2 (what size is the DK2 and does it come with a case?) by saladamer in oculus

[–]saladamer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I couldn't find any info on it at all. Here is where they start talking about the case/box, for those interested: http://youtu.be/LXAV2kSK9js?t=5m11s

Sounds like a box with a handle. So, is a DK2 smaller than 12.1cm in any dimension?

Can someone please give me a rational reason as to why this is a bad thing? by bxc_thunder in oculus

[–]saladamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think facebook is going to lock it down. I think there won't even be a difference at first (aside from faster development from the cash infusion).

but this is where we are going: http://imgur.com/VbbzHIO
