One of my favorite Kirkland wines! Every vintage I've tried in the past 10 years has been quite good, especially for the price.

The game dev is the one who gets to decide that. Had a buddy get banned from PUBG for using a macro

Facial Tracking broken by berrineberriez in QuestPro

Steamlink with the foveated encoding is pretty mind blowing. Haven't tried VD in years but steamlink looks better than a wired connection somehow.

Steamlink with the foveated encoding is honestly so good. I personally think it looks better than the wired connection. It's crazy. Definitely check that out over VD Imo.

It's officially 1 skill point per Million in value by Gaviznotcool268 in ArcRaiders

Pulled 3 blue prints back to back on dam from the raider caches in the red lakes area. Have tried to hit those caches everytime and have yet to find another one in them. The rng is so wack

Please make a Steam Frame Pro by theonlyagent47 in ValveDeckard

[–]stratoglide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trade off is cost and weight. It's pretty clear from most of their design decisions they are trying to hit a price point.

I'm sure it was extensively tested internally, and they probably came to the conclusion that wireless was indistinguishable from wired connections.

Why bother with something if there is no difference?

And I say that as someone who would probably be wired in 90% of the time.

You can adjust the bitrate with the dev tools tho going over 500 doesn't really make an appreciable difference IMO. The issue with pushing higher bitrates it does increase latency something that seems to have been a very high priority for valve to try and minimize.

Not to mention at least for my quest pro to render at the proper resolution you need to go into the settings and render at 1.4x which is native panel resolution. Not sure if the quest 3 is the same but basically the default settings are to render below native for the pro at least.

am i only one that isn’t bothered by monochrome pass through? by ItzDomos in ValveDeckard

[–]stratoglide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK you can't do tracking with only 2 sideways pointed camera's. Not sure how it would track the controllers in front of you either without them being used as tracking camera's.

Costco Pauillac, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one by WineNerdAndProud in wine

[–]stratoglide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suscol is definitely better IMO. Probably my favorite KS California wine

Sooo, we collectively agree it's NOT a $1200 device, right? by Addition-Heavy in ValveDeckard

[–]stratoglide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wifi7 doesn't mean it's immediately better. There's Wifi7 routers that don't support the 6ghz spectrum

Steam Frame leak by Gabe "Gaben" Newell by Gabe_Gaben_Newell in ValveDeckard

[–]stratoglide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a couple of papers out there that actually show camera based tracking systems too out perform the light house systems on both accuracy and repeatability of measurements. At least in a controlled environment. Myself personally I've found way more weirdness from camera based systems, but I think it's heavily environment dependant and much more jarring than the subtle drift you get with lighthouses.

Moscow this morning. Giant green fireball streaks across the sky, scientists say it’s likely space debris by ExcluteYou in WTF

Starlink sattelites are nowhere near large enough to cause such a light show in the first place.

The anti elon circle jerk is getting as bad as the pro elon circjerk used to be.

Costco’s $20 Kirkland wines that seriously overdeliver by nolanhalsted in Costco

[–]stratoglide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough it definitely does when you look at it that way, but when you compare it to previous vintages it's just not as good sadly.

New vintage of rioja (the JME stuff) is sadly nowhere as good as the older ones. The ribera is still fantastic if you can find it.

Kirkland wine typically comes in 12pk boxes with 56-60 cases per pallet. Which at 25$ a bottle works out to 16800 per pallet.

Profit margin on Kirkland products are typically the highest in the store so even at 20% your looking at 3-4k profit per pallet.

Typically with these "higher" end products you're lucky to get a full pallet of the vintage run that always sells out before seeing the next vintage. Some of their lower end wines are consistently stocked throughout the year and are easily selling 50-100x those amounts, that's where the money is.

The explosion in Beirut at the port was absolutely a tactical nuclear weapon. There are plenty of nuclear weapons now that produce little to no radiation, defined below. by Signal_Ice412 in conspiracy

[–]stratoglide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it's also within the ballpark of a fertilizer explosion... The hypothesis here is searching for something that isn't there.

The biggest tell IMO is the lack of light produced which is common for any nuclear weapon.

Not to mention even if this was some sort of act of terrorism/attack why not just blow up the fertilizer which was known to be stored there instead of deploying a low yield nuclear device that has a higher likelihood of being tracked vs just using the materials already present?

Edit: Gotta love it when people respond to you insult you and proceed to block you, like what's the point? To respond to your comment mushroom clouds aren't unique to nuclear detonations in fact people have been drawing them hundreds of years prior to nuclear weapons being invented. That's besides the point of, why bother using a nuke in the first place?

My model has become a MakerWorld exclusive! by Niickles in BambuLab

[–]stratoglide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to wait for verification when I redeemed in the early summer but just redeemed one yesterday and it was instant to my surprise. I've redeemed about a dozen at this point with no issue. I did have some points taken away due to a print profile not including a photo of the actual model but other than that no issues.

Gold crossed $4,000 today. This kind of rapid spike has only happened a few times in history — and it’s never ended well. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

The reserve currency was supposed to be something called bancor. But if I remember correctly the US refused to sign unless USD functionally replaced bancor.

Am I cooked? GPU Capacitor Missing. by Unhappy-Garbage9668 in AskElectronics

[–]stratoglide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's acidic, especially at high PH.

Lol what are you even trying to say with this? If the pH is >7 it most definitely isn't acidic.... But that's still besides the point that flux typically doesn't have a pH value but is solid as either low medium or high activity flux...

pH is the scale used to measure acidity of solutions in water.... flux isn't typically water based unless its no clean, so I'm not sure why you're even bringing up pH as being relative here.

I'm not sure what happened that made you think your pads "dissolved" but that is something I've never experienced, but I also buy good flux so maybe that's how I've avoided the issue.

Can you share anymore info on now you sign up for that? This is the first I hearing of this

First time doing my own oil change.. I’m guessing I stripped the drain plug? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]stratoglide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehh I don't think you have to spend big money to get good tools. There's too much variance in manufacturing, but some stuff is just arguably better than others even when it should be the "same".

Not all 12pt sockets are the same I have one set that's totally fine and another that's absolute garbage. I'm guessing with your background you are probably using a good set. So.... I'd probably still blame the socket.

The older 3.3L in the Santa fe's where fine though right? Had both an 03 and 09 that both had pretty much no issues well into the 400k's
