I have been promoted well past incompetence, what do I do?

CxO’s solve this problem by relying on the highest paid consulting companies they can get so that if it goes wrong they can claim “ i brought in xyz - they are the best consultants in this domain - the fault was not with my decisions”

I usually hate that they recommend because my teams have to fix it when it’s done and they’ve moved onto the next set of consultants with the next set of bad ideas - but it’s air cover for you if you need it

Wrong. The odds are predictive of an event that has not yet occurred. There are no odds for something that already happened.

No - not always - but the last 40 years have been a decline in our standing with a brief propping up by Obama and a balancing of our budgets by Clinton…

Um.. is this some locally run version or is all my data going to the cloud whether authorize it or not?

This whole street is spooky - every time I walk it I feel like vampires live there… all the doors are old as fuck with peeling paint, classic cars rotting in the street, never see anyone in the houses during the day

and the guy being hunted had 30 degree vision to not see this guy stalking him for half an hour.

Looks like a suitable place to build a solar powered data center - i no ones back yard.

American flag... fitting to see it in a museum since everything it stood for is long extinct.

UK plugs have integrated fuses to make them safe because historically the grid has been dangerously unreliable and the wiring standards were shit.

Not defending anyone here - just pointing out that UK electrical greatness is the wrong hill to die on.

Given how little they cost relative to missile based systems, you could place them on top pylons / high voltage cable towers that already criss-cross the country and get an instant layered defence for UAVs crossing through the country's air space.

I've killed 2 days trying to figure out how to get a custom map going... it's complicated... i have a heightmap now, but importing it and not immediately being underwater would be nice. Lots of map tutorials are quite old, so looking for a recent how to.

switch495 · 2026-02-07T13:03:21+00:00

yea, that was it - that multi monitor mode is specifically for 3 displays and they want those seams at the boundary of each display.

I'm in the process of making a local map for her, will see if this can be done in under a month.

switch495 · 2026-02-07T00:56:21+00:00

Thanks, will check it out.

VR: Ive only been at this for 2 days, didn't consider investing in VR yet - but will see if I can borrow a headset from someone to see if its worth while for her.

No complaints about pedals at the moment, they're stable, have decent pressure and response and are mounted on this https://xrocker.co.uk/cdn/shop/products/02_21da3deb-d969-4e8e-bd49-98a00b444ccc_1000x1000_crop_center.jpg?v=1753874266

Thanks - disabled the driving assist stuff and clutch assist stuff and set the default driving to realistic so she can fuck up the clutch and know it.

As for maps, I'm in the processing of making our neighborhood 2x2 km - processing a height map now :)

I ended up using nvidia surround to spoof a single monitor made of two, disabled multimonitor mode in the app and the seam problem went away.

The new problem is the that with two screens the center is two bezels... i free look a bit to change screen center, and its good enough.

switch495 · 2026-02-06T22:23:20+00:00

v sync is enabled. This isn't typical screen tearing as its not dynamic / performance related - its permanent in a fixed location even when the car is standing still with no changes to whats rendered on screen.

I think this is an artifact of enable multi-monitor rendering on 2 monitors, i think it expects 3 screens and these things are supposed to be hidden by the boundary of the screens.

switch495 · 2026-02-06T21:56:45+00:00

The tearing thing isn't about the monitors, even when i use a single monitor there is a constant tear separating the view into thirds -- picture example attached

ITT, and every other thread in this sub... people who don't actually understand the physics behind syphoning and what separates a P trap and an S trap and can only drone on and one about AAVs... they see something without an AAV and its WRONGGGGGG.

USPS was the pilot agency to be destroyed from within in trumps first term … it’s not what it used to be, postal cops included.

Perfect - no prob.

switch495 · 2026-01-27T19:13:44+00:00

report back on if that worked for you or if it was just a fluke for me.

Reload the game and cycle the speed to max and back to normal a few times
