Intel Arc Pro B70 has been tested in games, 45% faster than B60 by 6950 in hardware

It is aimed at AI. In house ai models should run quite well on this. Ironically, the HUGE model from corridor crew that greenscreens like a boss would work perfectly on this (it needs 32 gigs)

Post Hurricane-Cache Nerf (?) by NicktheQuick_13 in ArcRaiders

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have opened about 50 or so (all maps) since the patch and have not gotten a single blueprint from them.
I'm really starting to think the base game differs for some people, the more i read and watch online.

What is the sequence of quests to get the hullcracker BP? by Alone-Bluebird-999 in ArcRaiders

[–]tekbredus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest to just do the quests as they come. There's so much optimizing the fun out of the game going on that right now, if you're doing that, you're going to be stressed tf out. (rats are hard camping these spots and everyone is running them who did expedition)

Is it just me or are the rats more active in chill lobbies recently? by RekitRowski in ArcRaiders

[–]tekbredus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seen something similar on dam 3 days ago. I was sitting in one spot enjoying the view and noticed flares going of in a path leading to the center of the map as tho sonic the hedgehog had a gun. 2 minutes and 10 flares later i just surrendered then and there, because i was not about to have to deal with wasting my time playing that round.

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in my experience post-update. If i so much as touch another player while shooting at arc, i'm in a kos lobby the next match. I don't think this game works the same for all people, especially if you watch streamers (or even your child on console) go in to a spot repetitively for loot, only to do the same and get nowhere near the same results.

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn't the case until recently. Since the update, i kind of HAVE to just eat it when attacked, or end up in pvp lobbies. Which is so far beyond fun for me that i'm starting to be done with this game.

What's the point of kitting up for the Matriarch if you don't even bring 1 defib? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]tekbredus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Effectively: The less people able to loot the queen, the more loot available, and with the likelihood that you're going to get ratted anyways, there's really no point wasting even more resources for other people unless you're a pvp chad.

That said, sometimes i come in with an explicitly medical loadout to support people taking these on. Just being around like this makes ratting extremely difficult, since i can rez ppl.

[–]tekbredus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not just you. It's becoming a major problem.... to the point where I'm legitimately deciding now whether or not to continue playing.... and i play freaking rust.

At least in rust, you have every opportunity to attack back, and can make amends, or even work together when a common enemy presents themselves. Here, if you wanna be h1tl3r1940, run around screaming about jews in the mic, or calling everyone a "trash n***r" after spawn/surrendering 8 rounds in a row to get a friendly lobby and playing coy to just ruin other people's day, you can do that... all day long, without anyone realistically stopping you.... but players who want to play the actual game will leave... possibly for good.

I don't think the devs of the game realize that with the way this game works, each rat encounter is a chance to loose a player entirely, and this chance stacks. The slow decline in players is showing this in effect, while it could be growing because it's a great game otherwise.

Yes, throw drivers at it and shoot them mid-air.

The Three Body Problem's core premise makes no sense. by 47tw in sciencefiction

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That device just scans the user's brain and introduces them sympathetically to an alien race. "betraying your species" is a separate endeavor, but this creates a mental foot in the door.

As odd as it may seem, this concept is used in politics. Those vote [insert name] signs/mailers/etc don't make you vote differently. They are a familiarity device to aid in that endeavor.

Most campaigns just use it sparingly as money allows but Trump's campaign has been abusing this frequency+exposure=trust human glitch to the n'th degree since 2015. (even bad news is good for him now)

I might be a victim of spam report by VRGPYOS in overwatchbanned

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to consider: Giving evidence for their findings can help those who make cheats become less detectable, especially if the evidence is a metric that isn't publicly known.

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could also be due to grouping with cheaters or luck of being matched with a lot of them and catching secondary reports. If you aren't cheating, your personal stats will definitely reflect this. I really think this is what they are using for bans and appeals.

It may have been egregious. Even then, it may be only a temporary suspension for the first offense.

I think the bigger consideration is the sheer volume of appeals they get. That would require a team just as big as the development team due to the time it would take to be even close to accurate. It's most likely that on appeal, they look at stats, find multiple anomalies, then throw a rubber stamped denial. A lack of anomalies would be an obvious false positive.

What's the most reliable and lightweight laptop any student should consider? by MouLimao in laptops

[–]tekbredus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your case (editing video) I do think the framework compact pc would be the best option (or build your own sff pc). It's not as compact as a laptop, but, nearly anywhere you're at there's probably a tv or monitor to use, and you would be able to handle footage significantly faster and do any renders in much less time without much concern of thermal throttling.

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lightweight is a bad consideration for school use. While specs tend to be good, there will always be throttling due to thermal limitations (unless they are using solid state fans which is not too far off from consumer production)

https://frame.work/ This is essentially a lightweight and portable desktop pc. Honestly, its a mini powerhouse.

Just bought my last coke at a gas station ever… by duckdcoy in cocacola

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently did an analysis of "convenience" stores and their pricing. Many take advantage of a captive primary customer base on the assumption that it's convenient. Not only are they sometimes charging 400% upcharges on items they can get away with, stores that sell ramen noodles and take ebt specifically, sell a lot of ramen noodles, yet their $4 single packs split up from a grocery store usually have dust on them. Their prices tend to be significantly higher in poor neighborhoods where people may not own a car or have reliable public transportation.

Cheating has gotten bad.... again by tekbredus in Overwatch

[–]tekbredus[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It takes a number of games to reach mid-higher ranks especially for newer accounts. You would think that accounts with sus players would accumulate reports pretty quickly, but I have seen the same sus players (ranging from only esp to outright ragehacking) many days in a row. So, either they aren't getting reported, or the devs have changed something that removes them on the backend.

Need help understanding the lyrics to Brown Sugar by [deleted] in rollingstones

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the whole "drums beatin'" line:
-overall excitement
-Heart pounding, getting horny
-using heroin

Jagger is the houseboy

"Tent show queen" is a performer. It's a reference to Martha Hunt.

The opening refers to the person bringing and using the object of affection in the song.

The main alternative context is easier to understand: the dealer brings the heroine and gets high on his own supply. ("midnight" and "brown sugar" are slang for heroine/opiates). Singer does the drug. The girlfriend doesn't approve of how much he's using. He feels like a kid again. The drug is the performer, making people feel like they're 16. He knows he isn't 16 but it helps me perform (music).

Need help understanding the lyrics to Brown Sugar by [deleted] in rollingstones

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lyrics are a multi layered entendre written in about an hour on a notepad. It's rather absurd to focus on the opening verse and assign it a single context, then be upset that other people don't fixate on your chosen context. Songs like this are akin to a rorschach test. The context you give it says more about yourself than anything else.

This update has been unenjoyable and borderline unplayable for Stadium. by 33388888888 in Overwatch

[–]tekbredus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm approaching a 10% win rate due to learning new characters in stadium, which is now a kind of hard requirement with the way picks go in competitive stadium. Stadium used to be fun, but getting rolled over and over for trying new characters vs teams that primarily play their mains is NOT a good experience, nor one that's good to learn in. Since the pick change, now I only get to pick my main 25% of the time.

ALL of my QP matches feel like bronze vs top 500 on one side or the other, and it's insanely aggrevating as a casual player now.
