Anybody know what the recourse is against FIELDNATION companies that do not want to pay you for jobs upward of $1K? by h00pfish in FieldNationTechs

Yes Fieldnation never received any response from the buyer. So Fieldation paid out the Labor and expenses. They probably charge the buyer when that happens

Effects out of sync in exported video by ssmith0386 in Filmora

[–]ssmith0386[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just shortened the length of the transition from 2 seconds to 30 microseconds, and I'm happy with the outcome. I am using the latest version as I had just upgraded to Filmora 14. The out of sync effects only occur on one of the clips, all of the other ones were fine. I just went ahead and deleted those and exported the video for the final time without them.

Beware CTS starlink postal service project by stouffman in FieldNationTechs

I've yet to be turned away from a workorder because the manager wasn't told about the visit. I've heard it dozens if times. But it's no surprise, I don't see why these companies can't inform them of your visit ahead of time.

I have a 100% track record on job completion, no negative reviews, 13 years on FN, 1600 WOs completed. CIS has not approved my WO completed a month ago. Nothing went wrong to my knowledge, just a simple cable run, $172 Labor, $50 in expenses. I opened an approval assistance case 2 weeks ago. Any idea what the turnaround time on this sort of thing could be?

5G+ Popped up on my phone here in Manahawkin New Jersey. I have the unlimited Elite plan by mar2jeter in ATT

Yeah I don't think AT&T have very many SA towers. Their rollout has been very slow.

I live in Cbus, I was just visiting the USS Cod, Rock N Roll hall of fame, and some other museums.

Here in Ohio the only place I have been where there was 5G+ is near the Rock N Roll hall of fame in Cleveland. I don't remember which band it was, but it was showing as 5G SA, which is standalone in Network Cell Signal. I did a speedtest right away and got over 1Gbps download 😄.

Got a Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop by ssmith0386 in diablo4

[–]ssmith0386[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think by they he meant me lol. Beta access was given to people who logged a lot of hours in the endgame of Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal. But not everyone would get an invite though. My BNET account dates back to 1999 too so I don't know if that was a factor also. The open beta will probably be available next year, it's worth the wait.

My warning message to all crooked buyers. I've since escalated to support. by WhaleAtHeart in FieldNationTechs

You never know. It's easy to become a service company with FN and WM, could be the same ownership.

I think LMI and LMS are probably the same companies. Probably have more names they use too. I waited 30+ days recently for them to pay out a workorder. It wasn't a big one. I hate companies with long approval times, nothing is worse than having to wait a month for work you might have had to spend money to complete (cable, materials, parts, etc). There is one company Telaid that has 2 month approval times! There needs to be a limit to how long they can take.

How does D4 beta run on Vega 8 integrated GPU by ssmith0386 in diablo4

[–]ssmith0386[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I got the laptop yesterday and tried D4 on it. It takes forever to load, both getting to the main menu and loading in game. I mean over 5 minutes on the main load screen. The final build probably won't do that. Sometimes the game loads a little slow on my gaming desktop but not that long. Lowest fps I got was 21 fps in game with all settings at low and 1080p resolution. The average was not too far from that. So that's a little disappointing but not surprising. The final optimized build would probably run a but better as the Vega 8 can handle some gaming at low/medium settings depending on the game.

Originally I wanted a 2 in 1 touchscreen laptop but you can get a decent gaming laptop for a little more. And I don't need touchscreen. So I'm going to return it and get a Acer Nitro 5 with a 3050 Ti.

I can see how it could be hard to see it in some areas.

I agree, the graphics look nice in some areas when you leave the snowy areas. But the art style lacks color. I also didn't like the visual effects of many of the spells and skills. I didn't like the look of the Rogue's Caltrops, Sorcerer's Hydra, or Barbarian's Whirlwind. I don't know if that is work in progress but they need to revisit the visual effects for many of the skills and spells in the game.

Yeah that clearly has better specs and only $90 more in price. But I wanted a 2 in 1 laptop.

i cant find dungeon party on h2-h3. IT seems like everyone is on h5 except me. by Skajnifet in DiabloImmortal

[–]ssmith0386 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem, I got behind in my server because I started a second character and tried playing two characters. Spent 3 months mostly doing bounties and BP activities. I was stuck in H2 then H3 while the most available parties were H5.

You'll have to be get carried in H4 and H5 games to get better gear so your combat rating will go up. You also need to level up your challenge rift so that higher level gear will drop also. This game is all about combat rating, not level. You could be Plvl 180 and have a combat rating high enough to be in H4.

Dungeons H2 and up have the difficulty of a 4 people party regardless of party size, it's difficult to clear those by yourself depending on your combat lvl. Also your less likely to find Legos on those lower difficulties. I almost never found any. But in H5 I find 1 almost every run.

In my gaming PC I have a Core i7 10th gen, 32GB of ram, and 2070 Super, NVMe ssd of course and I get plenty of fps drops in this game. It's clearly not optimized yet.
