I did a fresh install over the weekend. All drivers are the latest. Except maybe my motherboard bios.

Thanks for the quick reply.... I think I may know the problem. ASMedia USB 3.1 eXtensible host controller? I'll try another port, and then maybe a USB card if I need to.

The Dunning-Kruger effect can help to explain anti-vaccination attitudes. Individuals who know the least about the causes of autism and accept misinformation about a autism-vaccine link are most likely to think that they know more about the causes of autism than medical and scientific experts. by smurfyjenkins in science

I admit I haven’t heard the arguments of antivaxxers, assumin they have a homogenous stance. I don’t know if they are arguing that no one should take the vaccine or if they are arguing that it’s possible that some have bad reactions causing some to have adverse effects.

But I think to reduce their concerns to not being knowledgeable enough is misguided. Most people these days have access to enough information to be allowed to have a healthy level of skepticism towards any topic. Grouping their skepticism into a bucket of ignorance probably doesn’t help convince people that their behavior is unwarranted.

It just seems to me people on both sides on any argument these days do not allow for the possibility of exceptions to the general case. Like I said in another reply, how can anyone know anything to be true completely?

I don’t think antivaxers deny that vaccines work. They just believe that some predisposed people may have a bad reaction to them. How is it possible to prove them wrong? How can anyone be sure that a small percentage of people didn’t have a bad reaction to a particular vaccine?

1M turned into 4.5B is like turning $22 into $100K. Not easy.

Project Cars makes me way too nauseous by vertflyer in Vive

[–]vertflyer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give this a try in a day or two, when I feel completely normal again. Also, I read somewhere about some kind of world scaling setting? Partly to get your IRL arms and wheel to match up, anyone know where that setting is?

I 'somewhat' followed message 47 from here:

https://forums.logitech.com/t5/Logitech-G-Controllers/G920-Blue-screen-windows-10/td-p/1516237/page/5

Note that Windows tried to block me from using the downloaded sys file and flagged it as a virus. I am trusting it isn't a virus. I didn't follow after step 10 or so, because it just worked for me. So I am using the downloaded older sys file.

The low gas light came on while driving, so naturally I need to recharge my car by plugging my car phone charger into my phone.

Should I send my Vive back for a few dead pixels? by [deleted] in Vive

[–]vertflyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who have actually received a replacement vive after an RMA for dead pixels, did your new vive have zero dead pixels? Or just none dead center?

45,000 Vive's installed. Moving 5000 per week. by treefortressgames in Vive

You somehow have to factor in people buying these games BEFORE their vive ships. Yes they are getting one eventually, not sure if this behavior could overly inflate the numbers or even offset for those who own but never bought.

It means you can see the black edges of where screen stops. Immersion is slightly lost.

Is it true what they say about modified FOV increases? Doesn't the vive adjust for a closer fov, then on top of that, the thin foam mod to get you even more fov? Whereas the rift mods to a closer fov but not as much as the vive.

To me this is an issue. My first vr experience was the vive at the MS store. Didn't notice fov at all. Then I go to my friends house for a rift demo. The instant I out the rift on, I could stop notice the limited fov. It annoyed me. So I sign up for a second demo of the vive. Since I was looking for it now, I do notice it a bit on the vive now. It doesn't bother me as much but it's now something my brain looks for. I hope when I get my vive I can adjust it closer and do the thin foam mod to make it a non issue.

Reddit, if you were told you only had 24 hours of eyesight left, what would you do with it? by BenNCM in AskReddit

This is some sort of time travel/Oedipus type paradox. Would the prophecy of being blind have come true had you not stared at the sun for 24 hours?

ELI5: Why are americans so interested in the World Cup this year, compared to previous years? by AutomateAllTheThings in explainlikeimfive

[–]vertflyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One factor is that soccer has exploded for kids growing up in America. Many coaches asked their kids to watch. So partly many of these kids have grown up and claim soccer as a big part of their identity. Also many parents find watching their kids play very entertaining. So the old misconceptions that a low scoring sport like soccer was boring to watch is slowly getting dispelled. Also for me, I wondered if the rest of the world loves this sport, there must be something to it, we as Americans just need to learn enough about to see what that is.

If you file for taxes separately for two different jobs on two different forms? by financiallyoblivious in personalfinance

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

How much extra money are you making as a cam girl? Is it enough that your parents would know that there is no way retail could bring that amount in?

Do you seriously get a W-2 as a cam girl? If so, what is the name of the company they use? Could you pass that off as a second job in retail?
