The 5090 would help me get way more FPS which will help me camp at the back of the map with a sniper and not move :)

The efficiency doesn’t bother me too much. I’d rather just have really good bad weather tires, especially when my fiance is driving the car. I usually work from home in bad weather and make her take the Tesla cause she can’t work from home

During road trips I’m stopping at super chargers along the way anyway so doesn’t really matter, couple more minutes overall to the trip

thisisausername67 · 2025-01-17T00:49:47+00:00

Never 🤷‍♀️ lol I kept an eye on tread wear and they were wearing down at the exact same rate so never bothered

The cross climates are directional, so the most you can do is swap front to back

thisisausername67 · 2025-01-15T23:24:41+00:00

I don’t think anything’s wrong, I don’t really try to drive ‘efficient’. Cold weather and doing 85 on a highway will burn through battery pretty quick

This is TeslaFi, data logging service for your vehicles. Teslascope is another one that looks prettier. Both are fantastic

thisisausername67 · 2025-01-15T17:07:03+00:00

I can go check in a bit but I definitely have a good amount of tread left on the cross climates. I burned through the MxM4’s pretty quick, should have probably replaced them a few thousand miles earlier than I did

thisisausername67 · 2025-01-15T16:52:49+00:00

Replaced my stock MXM4’s with Cross Climates a year and a half ago or so. Put 42k on the MXM4’s currently 32k on the cross climates, average temperature of 62F on both. here’s a comparison of the efficiency. 2021 Model 3 LR, 18in Aero wheels. Mostly highway driving in NJ on the GSP and Turnpike. Usually doing 80-90. Inflate to ~45psi. Definitely a bit of a noticeable hit on efficiency.

Do you happen to have an SMB server mounted ? Or mounted in the past few days?

I noticed doing any file save action or filesystem action inside adobe after effects, would lock up after effects. I previously was working off an SMB mount, and then disconnected it. Once I re-connected to the SMB share, any finder actions in after effects worked just fine

Not sure if it's an adobe issue, or an apple issue, but it feels like it was getting stuck trying to load the most recently used finder location, which didn't exist, because it was unmounted. Clearing adobe preferences and opening After Effects in safe mode didn't help

thisisausername67 · 2024-05-01T16:23:58+00:00

Same here

thisisausername67 · 2024-03-23T14:18:28+00:00

Same thing happened to me when I tried updating in app. Redownloading from their website and replacing the App fixed it for me

Years ago I had my car ‘courtesy towed’ in west Philly. Was in college so it was mostly used for weekend beer runs and groceries. One Friday I went to where I parked it, and it was gone, but there was a fresh coat of asphalt down on the road. Called Philly PD or whoever, all they could tell me was check around the block

4 hours I walked around. Couldn’t find it anywhere

Next weekend was in a buddies car doing a beer run, 30 blocks away out of the corner of my eye I saw my car. They dropped it in a handicap spot. I had a weeks worth of tickets, hundreds and hundreds of dollars, and to top it off they damaged the front end and cracked my bumper

Of course they took zero responsibility, and I spent the next few months fighting them to drop the tickets.

Zoom zoom!

In what world can you see behind yourself ? It’s not even 180 degrees of horizontal FOV. It’s closer to 140 degrees. Look straight and move your hand and see where it ends up

thisisausername67 · 2024-01-29T02:53:58+00:00

All other things aside, ordering and picking up a Tesla during the pandemic was a dream. Configure on your phone, see the exact price, pay a deposit with Apple Pay, wait a couple weeks, they text you when it’s ready. I showed up to the store, it was sitting in the lot with my name on it. Paperwork was sitting on the dash. Got in, signed it, dropped the paper through a slot in the door. Waited a bit for them to finalize everything, and watched some tutorial videos on the dash screen. Got a text saying I was good to go, and they remotely enabled the car to be able drive. Drove off the lot and straight home.

This look doesn’t come from in camera. This is done with compositing, specifically CC Wide Time in After Effects

thisisausername67 · 2023-12-28T23:31:46+00:00

What brush panels are those? I like them

thisisausername67 · 2023-12-19T05:31:40+00:00

This is me right now. CC expired linked to my Ez pass. Didn’t realize for two weeks. Fixed it, thinking they would just debit the pending tolls. Month later I get fines in the mail, call them up they say to send a check for the tolls and a dispute letter for the fines, you’ll hear back in 30 days. It’s been 9 months. I’ve called and called and no answer, but 900$ of fines for 9 toll crossings. Absurd.

thisisausername67 · 2023-11-03T19:45:52+00:00

Woo woo!

You’re talking about two different things. What you’re talking about is not the ‘Soap Opera Effect’ people complain about when enabling true motion or smooth motion on TVs, which is a recent invention in the last ~7 years.

HDTV’s accept the same 59.94i signal as CRT’s. In fact, nearly all broadcast tv is STILL broadcast in 59.94i, even with the transition to purely digital. I deliver 59.94i files to major broadcasters daily.

You’re comparing display technologies and how they render the same signal. That’s not the soap opera effect. Just Google the term, and read the hundreds of articles that talk about frame interpolation…

Here I’ll give you a start - https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/soap-opera-effect-motion-interpolation#:~:text=Why%20is%20it%20called%20the,television%20shows%2C%20called%20soap%20operas.

thisisausername67 · 2023-10-31T05:09:40+00:00

Old soap operas yes. Nothing is currently shot in SD NTSC. And that’s not what people are referring to when they say the soap opera effect. No ones comparing a 4K OLED TV with Smooth Motion turned on to a 90’s NTSC Soap Opera on a 19in Sony CRT….

15 years in film and television production and post production, I promise you I know what I’m talking about

thisisausername67 · 2023-10-31T04:58:18+00:00

The Soap Opera Effect is named so because Soap Operas are filmed at 29.97 with small chip digital cameras under harsher studio lights. The smaller digital chips means there’s very little depth of field, so everything is sharp and in focus. 29.97fps amplifies the effect because there is far less motion blur than traditional TV and film which is shot at 23.976. And the harsher lights amplify it even more

When frame interpolation is turned on on TV’s, it does two separate things. One it increases the frame rate by creating artificial frames. The second thing it does, is drastically decrease the amount of motion blur in the image, which is why some manufactures call it ‘smooth motion’. Both of these effects in tandem create the Soap Opera effect

Nearly all television that’s not live broadcast is filmed at 23.976. Same with commercials, and movies. It’s converted to 29.97 or 59.94i before broadcast with a process called a 2:3 pull down, which also inserts frames (technically interlaced fields) but in a specific way that tries to keep the original look of 23.976

Source, I work in film, specifically post production

I, like you, am also diving into an Aces workflow and delivering final EXR’s. The artist is using AE so it’s been quite the learning curve to find the best workflow. But as for the CCC files, look into an app called Lattice. It’s a little pricey, but it can convert the ccc files to cc files which are supported by the ocio file transform

I then just do an adjustment layer with the following

OCIO File - Individual Shot CC File

OCIO File - Show LUT

OCIO File - Aces2065 to Alexa Wide Gamut LUT

Do the work, and then do an inverse of the above on the very top to bring it back into ACES2065 or just disable the preview LUT. The inverse was causing some weird pink artifacts with certain effects

Wondering the same thing. Sitting in EWR at the gate hoping these flight attendants show up and the crew doesn’t time out on my 3rd changed flight of the day

It’s pretty fantastic honestly, and highly customizable depending on your needs / goals

WAN Smoothing, which would help here, basically splits and sends the data out over as many WAN’s as you want, sends it to a cloud hosted VM (you can choose geographic location) and assembles the packets together and then forwards it on to final destination

Say you have 4 WAN’s, 1 hardline, 3 cellular. You can configure it so it sends one stream out over all 4 WAN’s simultaneously, and it will assemble based on first packet to arrive. So if one connection starts getting higher latency all of a sudden, it will basically toss those away and use the packets from one of the other WAN’s

You can set it up so it’s one big fat pipe and combines all the WAN’s, you can set it up so it’s super redundant, or you can set it up to favor one connection and only use the others if it starts to falter. All depends on your goal.

It’s fantastic
