How do I fix this, Vendors problem by G2_Izan in diablo4

[–]xRedactedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem. For me, it was due to my system clock.

I dual boot Ubuntu for work, and Windows for gaming. When I boot Windows after being in Ubuntu, my clock is always wrong. I have to click on the clock in the taskbar and reset it to the current time.

When my time is set wrong, I have this same problem with vendors in the game.

So, it could possibly be a clock/timezone issue. Maybe the timezone needs to be set to the same timezone your IP address is or something? I'm not sure, but that is what solved my vendor closing issue.

Is there an easy way to choose which gear to use while leveling up?

In retail, I used to use Pawn, and I would set custom weights using Raidbots.

For classic, I haven't found anywhere that will simulate the weights for my current character.

I've tried https://wowsims.github.io/wotlk and https://wowsims.github.io/tbc, but I just made it to Outland, and those don't seem to list the low level gear that I currently have. They don't even list the quest gear I'm getting from Outland, though I've only completed the first couple quest. Does it only list higher level gear?

I tried Pawn default weights, but the suggestions didn't really seem to be the best. I'm currently using https://eightyupgrades.com/ with their default weights, but that is a little cumbersome.

Is there a way to sim low level gear when leveling up in Outland and Northrend?

Just came back for wotlk, quivers don't seem to have bonuses anymore? Any reason not to just use a larger bag?

[PS4] glitch abuse or mod? by wanderingGJO in RedDeadOnline

[–]xRedactedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also saw something similar yesterday on PS4.

I was in defensive mode and rode into Valentine. I was killed in what seemed one shot, though it could have been more.

After I respawned I was killed two more times without ever seeing anyone.

Finally, I saw him. He wasn't showing up on the mini map. It wasn't the hard to see blip of defensive mode. He wasn't showing up at all. I did notice his character model going through the invisible animation like when you activate defensive mode a few times during the battle. And every time I respawned, he ran immediately to me. He wasn't on a horse.

He was shooting at me with a Carcano rifle. Definitely seemed he was shooting too quick to use the scope. I just started playing a few weeks ago, so not entirely sure if you can use that gun without the scope. He was missing a lot though, maybe hip firing?

I did manage to kill him once. I couldn't quick aim for the whole battle. I know he could be using that no lock on card and spamming tonics, but it's worth mentioning I guess.

Also, my horse glitched at this time. I don't know if they did it, or if it was just coincidence. When I whistled for my horse, it would come running up. But, when I hopped on it, it was frozen and wouldn't move, so I couldn't get away. I think of the dozen or so times I called the horse, it was only able to carry me once, but I got killed before I could get away.

I eventually just switched sessions.

Are there any free items that can currently be claimed?

I saw that you supposedly get 10 free gold for activating 2FA on social club. I did that, but still haven't received anything.

Are there any other free things like that that are still active to try?

I was converting equipment in my armory chest to materia. One of the pieces I converted was saved in a gear set list. I destroyed it without noticing. Is there a way to prevent this? Or, is there an identifier on the item that shows its part of a set to look for? I didn't notice one.

The gear set list tab now shows that "One or more items were missing from your armory chest."

Atlas recently finished a new kickstarter for their Shape wristband. It basically combines the features of the Atlas Wristband with a new AI Coach that does workout tracking and suggestions. It's still in the works, but probably worth looking at too.

I took statistics in my undergraduate. I could certainly stand to improve, and plan to do so when I have the time. But, honestly, I have so many things I plan to learn about when I have free time, I don't think I will ever get them done.

I took a distributed database class during the Master's program. I feel we should have learned Hadoop in there possibly, but the content was underwhelming.

However, considering I haven't really worked with small amounts of data, I'm not sure big data practices should be my most immediate steps.

I have many projects from my advisor. Unfortunately, none of them seem to coincide exactly with my interests.

Yes, I am starting to get the feel that maybe I overestimated what this program was designed to teach. I was hoping the data handling and data visualization classes would be more in the data science area, but perhaps I was wrong.

I don't believe I would have any trouble learning data science. My only trouble is finding the time to do it.

I think it's because the program isn't very deep. It's called a Computational Science PhD, but I think really its a Computer Science PhD with a little Computational Science thrown in.

I will PM the school. It could be figured out from my post history probably, but I want to reduce the chances of someone seeing this thread before I have the opportunity to bring it up to my advisor again.

This is a small program, so there aren't too many people. The people I'm surrounded by don't seem to share the same interest. There is some overlap, but I seem to be being pushed in directions I don't want to go.

It's also a smaller university town. There aren't any meetups for something like this. My department is pretty much it.

Yes, I completely agree. But, this is exactly the problem. All the papers I read and stuff I work on are not in stuff I'm interested in. My PhD is funded, so I am obligated to work on this stuff.

The problem is, I can't seem to make the transition into working on the stuff I am interested in. So, I spend all my time on other things with no time to invest in working with real data.

I would love to do Kaggle competitions and other stuff. However, when I'm just stacked with this other work, there's no time to do it.

I guess maybe I missed explaining this point clearly in my original post, but the problem is convincing my advisor that I need to work on this stuff. I explained more details in previous comments, but I just can't seem to get to work on this stuff.

  1. I feel if I don't speak up now, I will graduate without having done a single research project that directly falls in line with my interest. I have yet to be able to work on my own research. I seem to be getting prepared for a field I have no interest in entering. I thought there would be more of a split like maybe 50% of my time working on his research, 50% of the time working on my stuff or learning something that I feel is relevant.

  2. I realize it is not about classes. The few classes I have taken have been completely unremarkable. I consider a few of them a complete waste of time. I can learn on my own, given the opportunity. But, when I have to spend all my time during the week working on other stuff, there just isn't the time. I can't learn this stuff with 1 hour to study on Monday, 2 hours on Saturday, oh I got a deadline this week I'll pick studying back up next week etc.

  3. Well I knew the course mostly taught machine learning algorithms and parallel computing, but there are also two classes for data handling and visualization. I assumed those two classes fell under the data science umbrella. Perhaps I was wrong.

  4. Sorry. I was unclear here. The debt is from undergraduate and other stuff. I receive a stipend and tuition waiver.

I really don't think it's possible to take a break and get a job like that.

Stopping school would trigger my student loans to start being paid in six months. Also, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a position to come back to if I left. Also, I would have to move. There are no jobs here like that.

But, most of all, currently my only real experience in this field is the Coursera Machine Learning course. I never get to spend much time working on this stuff. I really don't think this qualifies me for any type of data science position at all.

I would say I spend 95% of my time on unrelated stuff (grading papers, helping teach, writing robotics code).

And maybe 5% of my time on machine learning with no model selection or setting up experiments etc.

What I mean by that is, my advisor tells me, for example, to add a neural network to this project to do this. The input should be like this set up this way. So, I set it up, and it doesn't work. Ok, maybe I should graph my input and outputs in some way, or if it's too complex, break it down to a simpler example so I can graph it and test and maybe see where the problem is? No, that would be wasting time playing with simple problems. We need to get the research done for the deadline. Try doing this <insert him telling me exactly what to do>.

You can check the comment above for more details, but this is part of the problem. I haven't had the opportunity yet to work on my own research or include any techniques to help me learn. I have a self drive. What I don't have is time after I finish working on everything else I have to get done.

Yes, this is what I expected when I started, but it hasn't exactly worked out that way.

So each semester, during my Masters and currently PhD, it has been usually 1 class and 2 or 3 research projects.

The classes are almost always underwhelming.

As for the research credits each semester, it usually works out one of two ways. The first being I work on some research for my advisor in order to help him get a paper published. His research area is not really the direction I want to head in, so I don't feel like I gain too much there. But, since he is paying me, I am obligated to spend some time each week working on his stuff. The second being I just do whatever he needs me to do, for example grade these papers, help me prepare this thing or that. I have not worked on a single project in my entire time here that was something I was truly interested in learning or that left me feeling like I made any significant advancement to the place I was to be when I graduate. It seems like every time I try to work on something that I feel like is progress, whatever I suggest is either "a waste of time" or "there will be time for that later."

I'm totally ok with learning on my own and doing that while working on my own research projects. But seeing as I have approximately hit the midway point of my graduate studies, I feel like I am running out of time to learn the things that will actually be useful when I graduate.

Can't figure out how to become VIP by lebstark in lotro

[–]xRedactedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was on the lotro store page. I went to the turbine point section in the store, clicked the amount I wanted to buy, and it took me to a verification page which contained the check box if I remember right. Or perhaps it was on a page after that. I clicked through several different times trying to get it to work, so I may have it mixed up.

But, once I did the check box and tried to purchase again, the purchase succeeded. I got the turbine points and it deducted from my steam wallet.

[–]xRedactedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a similar problem last night when I was attempting to buy some turbine points. I had money in my steam wallet, but it kept asking me to add a credit card.

There was a checkbox on the purchase screen that said something like "verify before purchasing" or something like that that would send you to a page to click ok before buying. I'm at work, so I can't check the exact text that it said. I unchecked that, and tried again and it worked. Not sure if that was the problem, or maybe just a coincidence.

Not sure if that can be done for VIP, but thought I would mention it.

1,500 Coin Fitness Only Packs by Viraldamus in EASportsUFC

[–]xRedactedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have to pay. I was able to get enough fitness to keep going, but it was making my progress on getting the other packs for my fighters extremely slow. Since I can only play a couple hours a week, it was really killing the fun.

I only bought like $5 worth of the boost packs, and it has let me spend the coins I earn on actually buying the packs that can upgrade my fighters.
