Somehow I get the feeling Valve still had some lingering feelings about the failure of Valve’s TF2 comp and they’re trying to right their wrongs.

I wonder if that shares the same physics as silvent’s compressed air guns.

Silvent’s air nozzles reduce the sound level when blowing with compressed air compared to blowing through open pipes. This is due in part to the reduction in noisy turbulence from using Silvent’s air nozzles, and also because of the nozzles’ special design. Silvent’s air nozzles pass the compressed air through small holes and slots, which raises the sound to frequencies beyond what the human ear can perceive. This allows us to make blowing with compressed air both quiet and efficient.

Could use an even quieter compressed air gun

Neural Impulse Actuator or brain-computer interface.

Just because you never heard of it doesn’t mean it hasn’t existed…

released in 2008

You don’t even need to be inserting probes to be able to do that…

OCZ had this ‘toy’ out in 2008.

one of the reviews…

Ultra-sensitive, excellent response time. Partial hands free gaming. Cool looking blue LED glow from interface box. This is the future of computer user interface. While designed primarily for FPS games, works exceptionally well with MMOs. Makes Crysis WARHEAD and FarCry 2 a joy to play. As a disabled person, this unit has allowed me to game with all the “normal” folks on the same level.

OCZ back in the day (2008) had a brainwave game controller… didn’t need surgery for that.

A couple old metrology equipment dated back from the 80s I still use calls them ‘mil’. It’s got dual dials for mil/mm. Gets me confused sometimes because the gauge can go down to couple millionths of an inch/couple 10s of nanometers.

LVDT for those curious.

If Red Bull can be successfully sued for false advertising from their slogan “It gives you wings”, I think it stands that Tesla should too.

Semi-related note… displayport cables can cause a no-boot condition too. I think it was the existence of Pin#1. I had to duct tape that one pin and my computer finally booted up.

Bought a switch just for this series. Well worth.

I wish I can play Xenoblade 2 for the first time again.

Just playing with scenarios but I imagine something similar to Salton Sea and its evaporating toxic lake.

Wtf happened to Martha Stewart? That is her in the middle?

NHS stands for National Health Service.

Open new files in tabs doesn’t seem to work in the windows version. Bummed out about that.

Hmmm… Kind of surprised there isn’t an ARG to go along with this.

we’ve just lost the innovations that come with running that of wider sector

I’d argue that is not the case at all since manufacturing innovation is a commodity sold to the global market. See manufacturing trade shows. The tech is available, the skilled labor doesn’t exist in plentiful numbers to exploit such tech readily.

Some have even argued that because America’s software and internet sectors have been so lucrative, talent has been diverted away from older industries.

Please just say the quiet part loudly. Wages in manufacturing are disproportionately lower than other jobs with much less skill required. Tool and die machinists in socal have wages close to McDonald’s/Costco workers.

Sorry but how is grinding a punch form within .004mm, (dis) assembling stamping dies with incredible complexity for 10hrs a day without any procedural error premitted comparable with food assembly… One could put the lettuce before the pickles and no one would bat an eye. Put the wrong die in a station and production halts for hours costing hundreds of thousands of lost profits.

I believe the same can be said about construction as well.

Naturally, making physical goods rather than virtual ones mean less margins but of course the C-level executives must have their billion/multimillion salary bonus every year… Wonder what barrel they scrape all that extra money from…hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Haven’t read the entire thread so apologies if you’ve already provided this information but could you show us a picture of your monitor’s osd with the input source information? That should tell you right there that your input device isn’t sending out what you desire.

Also if you don’t have a >144hz option in your os’s display options, try disconnecting any other monitors you have plugged in.

What cable and interface are you using?

I lived in one of ‘those homes’ once… All 5 bedrooms and the garage which I stayed in was at least 1000 a month. And it was bare minimum amenities. One refrigerator shared with everyone, stove top was broken the entire time, one restroom and shower, and half of the folks had no idea how to clean dishes.
