I'm trying to watch Squid Game S2 and Netflix's video quality on my Roku Streaming Stick 4K is so bad that it's basically unwatchable. The bitrate of the video looks super low, but the question is why. Both the Roku bandwidth test and the Netflix bandwidth test are giving me 50 mbps, which should be plenty. The video quality I'm getting is like a step up from Real Player in 1999 - something is super wrong.

I tried power cycling the Roku stick (unplug USB and HDMI, replug). No change. I tried to reduce Wifi interference by turning off a bunch of peripherals, but there was no change.

My TV is a 10-year old Sony Bravia (1080P), and my Roku is correctly set to output 1080p. That said, I am lik

I upgraded from a Samsung Odyssey (loved it), to a Reverb G2 (it was on sale, love it too), but with Microsoft being a POS and discontinuing support, I'm curious what people would recommend I upgrade to down the road. I don't play much VR anymore so I'm thinking 0 to 2 years down the road.

For the purposes of this discussion, I am banning all mentions of the Quest because Facebook clearly pays tons of marketing companies to astroturf all VR subreddits. I'm sure it's a fine headset, but it's impossible to tell what the consensus is on it because of the extreme amount of astroturfing.

What are my options? Is there a new Valve headset coming soon? Is PCVR dead? Is there anything that would a

This is a big rant about my experience playing Power Shift over the last couple of months. It's almost the only game mode I play, and I do really enjoy it, but the further we get into Season 3, the more broken it feels:

Mediums are too OP

• 5 mediums is the meta and is super hard to beat. Even with the APS nerf, 3 APS or 3 turrets is devastatingly difficult to beat, plus healing, defib, and AK basically make a team of mediums on the platform an invulnerable terminator machine. Once a team of mediums takes over the platform, they're almost impossible to displace, and that's the crux of this issue.

• The gadgets that medium get are way too OP for Power Shift. They have the majority of t

After playing like 40 rounds of Smoking Guns, I've realized that very few teams understand the rules. Getting two cashouts won't usually get you enough points to win the game. Here's some key tips about the scoring system that I don't think most players understand:

• You get cash for kills and it actually matters. These can make the difference between 1st and 2nd place. If you're defending a cashout and nobody's attacking you, that's a problem because you're not going to get the precious cash you need from eliminations.
• The last cashout is worth the most money and it's critical to get that. It's sometimes the only cashout that seems to matter.
• If the game is going into overtime because

This is something I couldn't easily find on Google, so here goes:

If you've already maxed out the free battle pass (unlocked the crow), and you've funded your account with enough multibucks to buy the premium battle pass, buying the premium battle pass will actually put you ahead by 100 multibucks because there's enough premium unlocks to cover the cost of the season 1 premium battlepass. It ends up being free, plus you gain an extra 100 multibucks by doing it. (You retroactively unlock any premium levels you've passed once you buy the premium battle pass.)

I was in this situation because I bought like $10 in multibucks just to support Embark but none of the paid cosmetics have really been

So someone nominated the [Sheridan PGP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGP_(paintball_marker\)) and Bob Long Intimidator Wikipedia articles for deletion, claiming they weren't notable.

These are both historically significant markers (read the articles lol) but if anyone has any additional context to why these are notable, including any references to written media, it would be helpful if you could add a comment on the deletion pages or add some extra citations to each page. I'm thinking these markers must be mentioned in some old issues of Action Pursuit Games, which would make a good reference.

You can also chime in on the deletion arti

I was looking back at our old top post from 2022, where I linked to the FCC filing for the X1 and C1, and realized the confidentiality deadline has passed that Subpac requested for the user manual and internal photos. This means those are now published on the FCC website.

You can find the "User Manual" and "Internal Photos" for the Subpac X1 here and [C1 here](https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.

I've been trying to use the free version of Davinci Resolve to edit some clips together from my GoPro Hero 11 and the performance has been really poor. I think the root of my problem is two-fold:

1. H.265 is not GPU accelerated (both decode and encode) in the free version of Davinci Resolve.

2. Davinci can't smoothly playback 2.7K / 240 FPS in the timeline if it's H.265. My timeline resolution is 60 FPS but it's choppy when I try to play these 240 FPS in the timeline. It'll play fine for like 2 seconds, then drop frames for another 2 seconds, and so on. I actually think this might just be a Davinci bug because there's no reason this should take up like 50% of CPU across all cores just to p

Let me preface this by saying I'm a huge Grafana fan. I regret upgrading to Grafana 9 because the new alerting system seems overly complicated and the alert messages I'm getting are now difficult to read. The impact of this is that I'm now afraid I'm going to get a critical alert but fail to act because I don't visually parse the email to extract the 1 tiny important bit of information (eg. hostname) out of the other 20 useless bits the alerting email has. Whatever the default email template is now feels like it's designed for machines, not humans.

Part of the appeal of Grafana is that most of the UI is easy to approach but has a decent depth of customizability behind it. The learning curve

I have a System-X autococker I snagged a couple months ago with a ton of upgrades on it, but it seems like it's quite loud and has a fair bit of recoil. Is that normal? If I had to describe the recoil, I would say it's similar to a Model 98 or worse.

Would sweetspotting the high pressure regulator help make it quieter? Also, I'm missing a bumper on my Eclipse nexus ram. Would adding that in reduce recoil?

I have a shooting video but it's not very good and hard to see how much recoil there is. However, it was shot at an indoor field and you can hear how loud the echo is, which gives you a sense of what a cannon this thing is: https://youtu.be/_RARavmlfDM

Any tips would be appreciated! Tha
