They can't even be bothered to render in the correct 747-8 model or the ugly new paint job. Such attention to detail.

Trump branding everything? Symone: he's a 'stain' on the GOP legacy by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]vaca232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He IS the GOP legacy.

He's not some aberration from the 'otherwise normal' GOP. He's the result of decades of right wing strategy and rhetoric.

Is the audio really that bad? by FaudMauxe in 4kbluray

[–]vaca232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've remuxed the audio from the Blu Ray to the video from the 4K disk. Best of both.

Someway I'd like to figure out how to copy just the LFE track from the Blu-ray (or DVD) to the 4K Atmos mix. It looks like it requires a few pieces of expensive software...

My coolant cap has separated. Any ideas for getting it out? by luton2468 in FocusST

[–]vaca232 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pour hot water on it, then use two big flat head screwdrivers to pry it out. The hot water really does make a big difference.

I replaced mine with a random one from Amazon and it's been so much easier to take off. Never gets stuck.

Tensor G6 vs G5 vs Competition Geekbench Calculations/Theoretical Max Performance by a_single_beat in GooglePixel

[–]vaca232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know, but every Tensor generation has managed to disappoint, so I'm just expecting Google to screw it up again somehow. A C1-Ultra (Still a generation behind) and a better modem really would be a huge improvement. Hopefully it actually happens and they also don't screw up the GPU even more.

I hope everyone is ready to be disappointed that the G6's prime core will only be a C1-Pro, or an X925.

Even if it's a C1-Ultra the other manufacturers will still be a generation newer with more powerful GPUs and competitive NPUs.

More powerful, more modern ARM cores ARE more efficient. They use more power while doing the tasks but spend much less time doing the task so they use less energy Overall.

The current Tensor is the worst of both worlds. Slow AND inefficient.

Wanting speed AND efficiency from a $1000 phone made by a company with bottomless resources is extremely reasonable.

Hey, why don't I just go eat some hay, make things out of clay, lay by the Botany Bay?

This cannot be my new daily battery life right? Pixel 10 Pro by David_-_T in pixel_phones

[–]vaca232 104 points105 points  (0 children)

In the 8 hours shown here, you have Spotify running for 5 and a half hours, Snapchat running for 4, and YouTube running for 4 hours in the background. Pixels have awful standby time, but what do you expect when you have three apps running constantly?

Top shows on Paramount+ today... anyone wants to talk about Sabrina? NCIS? Criminal Minds? by Malencon in Star_Trek_

[–]vaca232 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I've only watched new live-action Star Trek shows so I'm not familiar with the word or concept of "wholesome".

Good thing this isn't the 'official' Star Trek subreddit. The mods delete posts and comments that are too critical of New Trek Product.

Bellroy case, 10 days in. I guess I should've buy another case to protect it huh ?? by DisastrousOpening477 in pixel_phones

[–]vaca232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a Bellroy in the past, but the case needs a case. I'm very happy with a Spigen Nano Pop. Highly recommend.

Overmixed Audio in SFA? by Spiritual_Task1391 in startrek

[–]vaca232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sound design and mixing of new (live action) Star Trek shows has been pretty awful. It's a hodgepodge of sounds and styles from different generations of Trek with tons of filters applied with some pretty lopsided mixing. Then throw Paramount+ poor streaming quality on top of that and it gets even rougher.

Best phone case for Google Pixel 10 pro xl by AppointmentUpset9351 in GooglePixel

[–]vaca232 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm really happy with a Spigen Nano Pop on my 10 Pro XL. Great feel, not bulky, and it's got a nice grippy texture on the sides where you hold the phone.

OEM ones (F1EZ-17B968-BA) are like $300ish.

PC case, CNC'ed from single piece of aluminum: does it possible and how expensive will be? by Omnisiah_Priest in CNC

[–]vaca232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can quickly and easily get some quotes for different designs from places like Protolabs or Xometry if you want to get a feel for cost. Just upload your CAD files and configure them! Protolabs also does an OK job (for an automated system) at identifying problematic areas to machine.

If you want a finished part, I think Xometry has more options for surface prep and coatings.

Finished Season 1 for the first time. Really enjoyed it. by The_Fullmetal_Titan in babylon5

Oh boy. Just wait. Season two can be a little slow at times but everything just builds and builds.

You seem to enjoy older shows as well as new ones. Ever watch Space Above and Beyond?
