  • I grew up without AC. Now it wasn’t as hot as it is now.
    But things you may not be aware you can do.

    Take cold showers.

    Yeah. That works.

    Take a shower and then stand there naked, wet, with a fan on. You will be shivering in no time.

    If you have long hair like I did. I would often just hold my head under the tub faucet. Soak my hair. And face. And that would cool me off.

    I sometimes did this multiple times a day when it was crazy hot.

    You all have access to water. Use it. It’s not just for drinking.

    There was a few instances where I filled the tub and just had a cold bath while reading a book or something.

    The water will stay mostly cool all day. No need to drain each time you get in. Just don’t pee in it.

  • I always thought I must have a weird voice or something because the text to speech has also never worked well for me. I was playing No Man’s Sky game. Multiplayer game. and talking to another player. And it has an auto voice to text thing that displays on the screen. I guess so people can participate in the conversation via typing. I know they also had tried to make a universal translator for players. Which was not working great last time i tried it.

    But it’s been a few years

    ANYWAY

    Chat was happening in a place where multiple other players were able to see or join the conversation.

    This time I was verbally chatting with some guy about mission steps and it was showing me saying the weirdest shit and it read like I was hitting on him. It wasn’t even close to what I was actually saying.

    I pointed it out mid convo like. “Dude did you see what the text is showing I said?”

    We had a laugh about it but honestly it was a bit awkward though I knew the guy well enough we could laugh it off. Other people reading it (you can only listen in if you are connected with a mic) probably were thinking I was trying to hook up with this dude.

    Im a woman player so the last thing I want is to make it look like I’m chatting up male players and open for business. 🤦

    I’ve just never got it to work for me. And I’m deeply untrusting of it for causing me problems.

    I swear I talk normal with minimum accent. Idk.

  • X axis is off.

    Yes. The left to right. Not top to bottom (z)

    When the x axis is off, the auto bed leveler can compensate for it. For a while. Until it gets high off the bed.

    Then the skew becomes more problematic as the height increases.

    Basically you need to adjust your x to be level on both sides. One side is higher/lower than the other. Probably by 1-2 mm or even less. (On the z rods).

    Now I know how to do this on an ender 3 v3. But not your model.

    But here is a link to the ender one so you can better understand the issue and how to fix it.

    I recommend looking over some of the comments to help explain this issue better and why it’s causing the problem you are seeing.

    Alternative cause:

    If the print is lifting from the plate it can cause a similar issue but those errors would likely be closer to the bottom. But not always.

    Is there any lifting or warping of the bottom of the print ?

So yesterday my 2 cats got in a fight. I got the worst of it.

Long story short. I checked both cats over after the incident and all the blood was mine.

Black cat, Noir, had a little scratched spot on nose and near left eye but looked fine.

This morning I wake up and notice he’s got, what I thought, was some eye goo in his left eye.

As the day goes on into the evening, I notice it’s still there.

I get a qtip and wet the end and try to catch it to pull it out.

I notice at this point it doesn’t look like goo but like the bottom of the eye is cut. Or maybe the extra eye membrane.

It really looked like that.

Now mind you he’s been normal all day and not been rubbing his eye or anything. No drainage or redness but I kinda panicked thinking. “How did I miss this eye injury yesterday when I checked him over!?!”

So I rush him to the ER vet. Cause it literally looks like a cut into his eye with a flap/gash.

We wait like 1.5 hours. While in the exam room I noticed he’s got a big eye booger in the corner of his eye. Dried. Dark. I wipe it off.

A moment later I’m like. Hey. Hold on.

I check his eye again and the “gash” is gone.

It actually was eye goo.

Even the guy who first saw him agreed it looked like a cut.

But I called him over and was like. Yeah. So I think it actually was a booger.

He looked over Noir and agreed. The eye was fine.

Booger.

Flipping eye booger.

Almost cost me $200.

  • I do agree a lot of b.s on the left side sure seems like psyop shit.

    Fake outrage over b.s when there is plenty of real shit happening that is overshadowed by petty stuff.

    Like a tattoo someone got 20 years ago that could be interpreted as hate. Though it’s subjective. And the person got it removed.

    But yeah that’s way more important to dramatize all over online than talking about what Kushner is up to. Which I rarely see mentioned.

I’m looking to ask some questions about streaming steam from my PC to my laptop and tablet.

I can’t find an answer anywhere I’ve searched.

Reddit has a sub for moonlight gaming.

But all my reddit accounts are perma banned. Even ones I hardly ever used so they seem to know my Microsoft account and have my whole deal banned. I guess I could go to a library but …

Is there some place on lemmy I could ask ?


Basics of my situation.

PC has 12gb GPU 6700xt. AMD processor and GPU. Ryzen 7 , 7700 64gb ddr6 ram.

I’m trying to stream my PC steam to my laptop or tablet so I can play games through those. Specifically text heavy games. So the screen is closer to my face.

My main monitor hooked to my PC is my tv. 4k LG TV with HDR.

If I use steamlink on my Samsung tab 6 lite (10.4 inch 2000x1200 resolution) tablet I experience constant notifications of poor connection even though both the tablet and PC are in the same room as the router. Both on 5g network. The screen also turns off after 2 minutes even though I’ve changed it to 30 minutes. Turned off battery saver. Tried everything.

Almost like clockwork there is a hiccup lag in the image. Regardless of what I’m doing. This happened even outside of games just in the steam big picture. So thinking maybe tablet is just not going to work.

However, I tried downloading sunrise and moonlight to try that.

No more regular lags. Screen still times out 2 min but I get a new problem. Stream is only 720p resolution. Regardless of what settings I change in moonlight, it persistently stays at 720p. Even the mirror for the desktop is 720 (outside of steam app).

For the laptop. An Asus. 2 years old.14 inch screen. Supports hdr too. 1920x1080

I tried steam link with it. Resolution is good but does have lag occasionally. Too often to use.

I tried moonlight game streaming . Again, it will only transmit at lower resolution. Looks like 720p. Changing settings in moonlight do not appear to do anything. Even after restarting PC completely.

Resolution stays low. But there is not really any lags.

I tried changing my primary screen to the same resolutions as the tablet and Asus laptop. This didn’t fix the low resolution in moonlight.

I’ve searched all over and can’t find anyone else reporting this problem. The low resolution is present even outside of steam. The windows desktop icons and text are hard to read because of the low resolution (on the client device).

It’s like the settings in moonlight aren’t working or are being over written.

But steamlink creates proper client resolution. So why isn’t moonlight ?

Also the color and brightness is bad too on the client (moonlight). But this might be caused by low resolution. It’s good on steamlink though.

Turning off HDR on the host PC display settings helps with bad color and brightness but the client supports hdr so it shouldn’t be a problem.
