Look into Decoding the gurus podcast. I felt the same before listening to their analysis. Suddenly all of the small annoying things about Eric become much clearer. He is a clasic grifter that manages to sound smart, while not giving any useful information at the same time.

"Fittest" for what? For example, more educated people have a higher chance to suffer from a mental ilness. Do you think that humanity is better off if only idiots remain?

Why would you shower a cat? They are pretty good at cleaning themselves

Are hindu monks generally very good at rape prevention?

Rayman Legends is without a doubt my favourite coop platformer with fantastic music and great fluid controls. I strongly recommend it, it's tons of fun

I agree, but after I tried three FOSS ones that were hard to set up and had very bad voice quality I gave up and tried Guilded which is working great. The most important feature I need is ability to locally mute people which not many apps have for some reason. What would you recommend I use?

[–] plofi@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Guilded is really similar to Discord, but Roblox bought them so you need a Roblox account to use it. It's great for voice chat.

Fair point. Sustainability really should be a priority. I don't always return them to the case because a don't use them for too long at a time. But even if I do, charging them for 10% isn't the same as charging them for 100%. (I'm just stating that because the "5 year battery life claim" is absurd).

If you're a heavy user wired ones will probably be better for you, but I reccoment trying out both. I was really against the bluetooth ones before I bought a pair and now I'm really happy with them. It all depends on your situation.

Yes it does because no manufacturer claims the lifespan in years, they say you get 2000 charging cycles. The 5 year number is derived from 2000 / 365 = 5.48 and that assumes you are charging them fully every day.

Look buddy, I'm not a battery expert and I can tell you aren't either. You can't get an easy number because the chemistry is complex and the way you use them changes things. When you do get a nice clean year number it depends on many things so making broad proclamations isn't very useful.

Switch sides every so often. When I start in the morning I can do about 5 mins on one side, but after a couple of switches I can stay like that for 30 mins. When you don't feel comfortable switch.

It's minimum 5 years if you charge them every day. I charge mine maybe once a week when I use them regularly. So claiming that all lithium ion bateries last 5 years is misleading. Most manufacturers claim you have minimum of 2000 charging cycles.

I carry my phone in my pocket so the wire that's close to the jack bends very frequently and gets damaged. I'm glad you were able to find good wired buds. I searched for years and wasn't as lucky as you. But since I switched to no-name bluetooth earbuds I've had no problems so I'm very happy.

Are you claiming that the battery stops working after 5 years? As far as I know the maximum battery charge gets lower with time but the device is still functional. It just lasts a bit less.

 

For example V rising used to crash my computer after 10-20min every time without exception until I lowered the graphic quality and disabled unlimited FPS (I set it to 60). Now it works without crashing.

I have a Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090 that should be able to bear the load of the best graphics settings.

I tried doing the same in Valheim, but it keeps crashing particularly inside my megalomanic castle and the surrounding village (which could be part of the problem). But it also likes to crash while doing mundane stuff like walking through a forrest.

I see many other people having the same issues - they have a high end GPU and some games just keep crashing their computers. And as a counter point, my friend has a low end computer and he never had any crashes with V rising or with Valheim.

So my question is what is causing the issues here? Both games are made in Unity. Is the problem in Unity, developers, the GPU or the combination of all?
