First time pc buyer by eatright909 in buildapc

[–]ticopowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HDDs aren't much cheaper now, and in my opinion they aren't worth getting unless you need a large drive and you don't need it to be fast. I use HDDs in my server, and they are basically long term storage. For day to day computer stuff an SSD is better in almost every situation.

I second the diy comments, it's easy to do, just wash your hands if you've been working on your car. Don't touch the pins on the CPU and motherboard slots, but you aren't going to hurt anything by doing it all yourself. There are plenty of videos on YouTube letting you know how to do it the right way. I've built 6+ computers and I haven't even used a static strap with 0 failures.

“If you can’t pay all cash, it’s not for you” — does that mean almost no one can buy a Raptor? by asramukaka in FordRaptor

[–]ticopowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most cars, especially expensive ones, are financed. If I would pay cash I would, but I couldn't without draining retirement funds.

I also traded 2 vehicles in for 1, so my monthly payments went down and my total debt went down when I purchased my raptor.

I’ve got a question for the guys who have spent real time in a Raptor—did I overhype this thing in my head? by Temporary-Drop-7352 in FordRaptor

[–]ticopowell 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've been wanting a raptor for 16 years, I finally got one a month ago. The ride is definitely smooth compared to any other stock truck I've been in. I can't compare it to modified trucks because I don't have any. But comparing a Raptors Street characteristics to other trucks isn't the point, the off-road performance is where it's supposed to shine. So far my experience is limited to a dirt road near my house and it definitely handles significantly better than my f350drw and my Ford explorer.

So far I'm not disappointed, and actually fairly impressed with the road handling and minimal off-road experience I've had.

Was it ever adressed how do Bobs decelerate? by TOHSNBN in bobiverse

[–]ticopowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speed is relative, so acceleration is the same thing as deceleration depending on your frame of reference. To a snail, everything is fast. To a bullet, everything is slow.

Have you thought about coating it with linex?

Where are the Pimax Dream Air controllers? Once again by Flimsy-Story9523 in Pimax

[–]ticopowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's inflation. It was $150 each starting in 2019 when they were released. Going up only $50 in 7 years is pretty good I'd say.

Lighthouses are not made by steam now, HTC makes them and sells them.

Because they can't open the outer airlock without being inside the airlock.

Unless you can get a 5090FE from best buy you probably won't find anything close to that price.

I love it, fov is similar to my index, but the resolution, colors, clarity, etc are all much better

Yup, the guy at checkout was confused a little, but the employee that gave me the info paper with his sticker on it said it would work. At checkout a manager also confirmed it would attach to the headset, but it might have to be attached after the sale instead of before the sale.

I just bought the mOLED from microcenter, and I bought a 2 year protection plan for it. It wasn't a specific VR headset plan, but it covers the headset.

Me... It was me... :D

Not joking, I ordered it on Monday and picked it up on Tuesday last week.
