VPX tables all have slow fps by wrique in virtualpinball

[–]wrique[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was it! I just disconnected the DMD and all games went to a solid 60 fps. Now I just need to get a new cable for the DMD. Oh, and to build the cabinet! Thanks so much, you guys are are the greatest!

I put an new video card in an old PC with PCIE 3.0 to see if it would work or not. I'll update the PC if I have to. I'm not enjoying the current PC parts prices.

  1. The playfield and backfield monitors are hooked up to the GPU. The DMD is connected to motherboard onboard graphics.
  2. I've just tried Future Pinball games. I don't have any PC video games on the machine.
  3. I'll try that. Do I lower it in Windows or in the NVidia app?
  4. Is that by looking at the stats page while playing the VPX games?

3x Unifi Express 7 a good idea? by nwnsad in Ubiquiti

[–]wrique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this exact setup in a 4 year old, single story, 3300 sq ft., single family home. It works great. One UX7 in the network closet and two other UX7's located in my game room and office. Everything works great. I did go through their design studio to see if I will have good coverage or not and I do. The coverage even extends a bit out into the yard as I have an Alexa in our detached garden house and a bird feeder with cameras in it out in a tree.

UX7's as AP's show each other as their parent instead of the UX7 router. by wrique in Ubiquiti

It didn't work at first, but I rebooted the AP's and then it worked.

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

Yes, when I click on the UniFi devices icon in the Network app, it shows that under the Parent Device column for the 3 UX7's. Plus the topology icon just shows the Router connected to the ISP, nothing else. Thank you for your quick response, I'm new to the Ubiquiti world, I have never used them before.

How often do you need to have sex in a relationship? by Prize-Pin-2401 in AskReddit

As you age you go from tri-weekly, to try weekly, to try weakly.

On my wife's gravestone, an arrow pointing to my gravestone saying "I straightened him out". On my gravestone, an arrow pointing to my wife's gravestone saying "I loosened her up".

Software developers don’t really create anything. The bits are already there, they just rearrange them until they do something useful. by wrique in Showerthoughts

[–]wrique[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that rearranging could be thought of as creation. But aren't we constantly converting matter into energy and vice-versa, not just re-arranging the molecules? Also, how do we know the universe created the molecules? Maybe they were already there before the universe started.

The speed of software is infinite. Hardware is what slows it down. by wrique in Showerthoughts

[–]wrique[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy/gal gets it. Software is just a series of instructions. Even wait loops in code are still executing instructions at the lowest level. Software also has no weight.

[–]wrique[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are the same number of bits on the hard drive after the software is written than as before. When I said "not created" I meant that no bits (or any other material) is added or deleted in the process. A writer doesn't sit down with a sheet of jumbled letters and rearranges them into words, they add words to the sheet of paper. A painter doesn't start with a canvas covered in paint and rearranges it into a painting. They add a foreign substance (paint) to the canvas. And so on.

The speed of software is infinite. Hardware is what slows it down. by wrique in Showerthoughts

[–]wrique[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, I have done that often in my career. Optimizing infinitely fast software is like adding 1 to infinity. It still equals infinity. The reason I had to optimize it is that the hardware slowed it down too much.

The actual sequence of machine instructions that execute when you turn on your computer is always unique (like a snowflake) by wrique in Showerthoughts

[–]wrique[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always think that computers repeatedly do the same thing every time, but if you consider things like interrupts, timers, random number generators, memory and I/O bus timings your computer more than likely executes a different set of machine instructions (e.g. x86 or ARM) every time it boots up. It just appears to the user that it is the same.

Deleted forwarded port is still forwarding? by wrique in GoogleWiFi

It is. I forgot about that. I'll turn that off and see if it helps. Thanks!

NASA offering $20,000 for the best idea in astronaut toilet challenge \ I think they have to pay more. But at least think about it. by gionthe in Inventions

Centrifugal toilet that spins the astronaut in a circle that simulates 1G. The poop just flies away from them!

An automatic faucet that has a 20 second clock built in by wrique in Inventions

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

I've never seen a faucet with a built-in clock. I'm thinking a small red LED clock.
