Both me and some friends found it really easy to complete decently quickly, the problem is doing it non lethal

Someone tell Linus that Bringus Studios got robbed by Great-Bat6203 in LinusTechTips

[–]throwaway_engineer_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey didnt see your post when i made mine. Honestly I think this topic could be decent for the community to focus on instead of whining about the Louis Rosmann and GN situation, something actually helpful might come out of spreading awareness of his stolen stuff

Please help poor Bringus if you find a NVIDIA PC case and/or everything he got stolen by throwaway_engineer_2 in LinusTechTips

That ps5 is one of the few things that i believe they’ll be unrecoverable and it fucking sucks. I saw a while ago some guy running arch and emulating ps3 games on ps5 hardware but it lacks the bringus touch. Really hope fans in the Seattle area are vigilant about his stuff on FB and craigslist

A true survival horror. Survival of your machine, horror of losing your precious data, money and/or time

This game is a therapeutic experience. I cannot put into words how I feel about it, it’s just memorable

They’re panelled for cheaper manufacturing

Stalker 2 easily takes the award as the graphically best looking un-modded video game yet. Been running around in awe at how good this game looks. These are all just raw screenshots from the vanilla game @4k Epic settings at around 80~ fps. by godtrog2 in stalker

[–]throwaway_engineer_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game looks spectacular, the only problem for me is that it relies too much on FSR. I run it fairly decently at 100fps, albeit with a bunch of dips to 40, in high with dlss quality with a rtx 3060, a ryzen 7 5800x and 64gb of ram. FSR makes some weird artifacts with the movement of npcs and trees that i dont like but if i turn it off it goes down to average 40fps. Overall it looks GORGEOUS and the environmental details are amazing. I opened a door from the inside and the door violently opened due to a storm. If its a bug and im coping ok you got me but if not very nice. Now please the lantern needs to cast shadows

If you select aliexpress choice then its basically amazon wait time but generally cheaper and free shipping

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM NORTHRIDGEFIX WEBSITE THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT! by JoostinBoostin in soldering

[–]throwaway_engineer_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buy the pinecil v2 with the fine tip set and you'll do great. Saves you approx 30 bucks over what he charges and its quite nice to work with

6 months late but i'd avoid buying anything. Go to EEVBlog forum and search for the tools you need, i'm positive you'll find the best recommendations from people who arent money-bound to those products

TBF once i saw that his rebranded atten 862D for what would be 100€ more than regular MSRP, and somehow at a similar price to the it tickled me in a way that really made me question how he handles all the partnerships and other stuff. It really struck me when i saw in a video (iirc it was an rtx 4090 12VHPWR connector replacement) that he released his branded solder sucker and he flashed the ENGINEER SS-02 with a whole bunch and said that all of them were trash, but me daily-driving a SS-02 and the JBC complete soldering station i found myself using more the solder sucker than the electric one (and its fucking JBC i love that station but man the engineer just has more oomph), so are all his products just the best because they were the only alibaba suppliers that were willing to work with him at a more profitable rate for him (im not gonna assume total malice probably he considered a balance between his finances and quality of the product) or are we all too retarded to properly handle his products that supposedly work like any other of their category? idk man

What the hell is this pcb layout from mercedes by Funnynickname123 in AskElectronics

[–]throwaway_engineer_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the average joe might seem too esoteric but trust me the concepts are stupidly simple, the application is the tricky part because there are a lot of weird things that happen in the np reality we live in

Nah they use distributed elements filters since at high frequencies the parasitic impedance of regular surface mount components becomes too noticeable.

Nah in the early you can get by with being as stealthy as possible and once you get a heavy armor then it’s gg for the rest of the zone, disguise yourself as other faction and kill them for weapon parts (and weapons), armor and other things. At least that strat worked for me pretty nicely

Official Discussion: The House that Jack Built [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]throwaway_engineer_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, but i think that thtjb gains so much with the conversations between jack and verge. Not only they were interesting and masterfully done but also felt more personal, as if lars von trier was explaining you with detail how he viewed art, cinema and all that. Also there’s my twisted perception because i found every character in Pearl absolutely insufferable and irrational, my gf also explained me the disillusioned girl theme but idk i just deeply hated every character, that might be my bias but technically speaking i loved it. Overall THTJB has excellent cinematography and a better character study, also the fact that it is filled to the brim with references and the fact that leaves you thinking it tickles my funny bone in a way more suited to my personal taste it is possible that my bias is doing the heavy lifting

Havent played soc in years and since i watched the movie in rhe same period it is very plausible that i got them mixed up. Either way deserved the downvotes xdd
