Pretty much any game newer than Quake 3 uses what I referred to as unlagged, which is now known as backwards reconciliation or lag compensation. You only need to shoot where you actually see the player to be.

This drives me nuts in The Finals as well. I also really want to know what my opponents’ pings are, because sometimes it feels like they’re exploiting the unlagged netcode with high ping. Edit: And don’t give me a little 3 bar signal strength graph - I need numbers.

FYI also in case you didn’t know, the sniper rifle for light in The Finals is hitscan up to 40m away, then after that it has travel + bullet drop. This was introduced in a patch about 6 months ago. (I don’t think the Pike for medium is hitscan at any range… someone correct me though)

Thanks, I appreciate the tip! I will give that a try next time (maybe I’ll do this Xtrfy mouse soon). I also got solder braid and a flux pen to help too, in addition to the solder sucker I was using before.

I tried to repair my DeathAdder but I had the soldering iron too hot and I destroyed the contact pad under the microswitch. 💀 I tried to take some solder mask off the trace and bodge it but I made such a mess that I just gave up on it. With better desoldering technique, it would have been straightforward. Lesson learned!

I actually liked the DeathAdder and have had almost 3 of them. I just mainly meant to knock their build quality.

But that said, the lifespan of all mice is kinda bullshit. I haven’t had single mouse last more than a year in almost a decade. Either the left click starts getting glitchy or the mousewheel’s encoder starts to go. I’ve used Logitech, Razer, Microsoft, Xtrfy. My Xtrfy M42 wireless’s left click is starting to get inconsistent now (holding LMB will randomly release, and the microswitch is bouncing on click).

How many miles do you have on it though? I see these kind of comments all the time on Reddit, and there’s a big difference in how many hours per day people use their hardware for, and how much typing/clicking people actually do.

It’s just another reminder what a greasy company Razer is. They should be avoided because their products are mostly crap, sold at high prices. I remember taking apart my Deathadder about 8 years ago after the left-click went on the fritz, and it was the crappiest, low-quality PCB I’ve ever seen in a product. I never bought Razer again after that.

Edit: To elaborate, they could have spent like 5 extra cents to get a nicer PCB, but they didn’t. The mouse was really nice on the outside, but they cut every expense on the inside.

you forgot to shoot somebody

If you can sue the city for slipping and falling on sidewalks they don’t salt, then surely you can sue the city for knowingly changing the design of a road to make it more dangerous, by arguing they have some level of culpability for harm to you if you get in an accident. The city’s own study showed it reduced the rate of cycling accident (see Evaluation here) AND reduced collisions between cars.

Whisper is the way to go for speech to text (edit: had that backwards). Whisper.cpp is decently fast too: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/releases/tag/v1.7.1 Get the binaries from the link that’s on that page (god GitHub usability sucks)

I want to second Pelican for Python. Really easy to set up and get going. No need to learn a complicated templating language (it’s jinja2, which is what everything uses).

yeah, but it’ll be hard to make those Y Combinator vultures rich at that price

News at 11 - next month is November, and you won’t believe what happens after that! Stay tuned for more.

This is such good politics and such bad governance.

No, I don’t think so.

It’s never described like this, but I think this move opens the door for the province to tighten the screws on cigarette sales, potentially opening the door for a cigarette ban now. The alcohol sales are a lifeline for convenience stores for when they lose cigarettes.

Tinc has weird limitations and Wireguard completely obsoletes it. There’s zero reasons to ever consider using Tinc when Wireguard exists.

How are the alternatives any better? Download a DEB that executes arbitrary code, signed with some .asc that’s sitting in the same webserver? Download an EXE?

Your comment is so rambley that I can’t understand whether you’re criticizing the distribution method or the packaging. Both of those are very different in terms of attack surface, if you’re talking about supply chain attacks.

The only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it’s the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It’s just great, perfect length.
