    LogicalDrm reacted to DeerDK in What type of GPS coordinates are these and how do I convert them to DD?   
    Im a cadastral surveyor, with specialization in technical surveying, so we are in the same boat  - although I mostly work with sewer mapping and 3d scanning of underground facilities. 😁
    What made me think of UTM in the beginning was that the 2. coordinate looked very much like UTM, but the first one was way off compared to what im used to seeing. On the other hand, our local newer systems in Denmark - DKTM 1-4 have been made so widely different that there is no risk of mistaking the two without ending up in Djibouti instead of Denmark, and im not that well versed in the Swedish systems - so it required a bit of digging.
    The standard sealevel can vary a bit. In Denmark we have two systems. The newer is called DVR90 (Danish Vertical Reference 90) and some times one really has to pay attention because some planner insist on using the old system due to existin maps

    Thanks. I was getting stressed that people here would give totally wrong answers.
     
    Like said, the format is in UTM so in meters from set origo. But you need to know which system they are in to know where origo is. Usually it's mentioned with given coordinates. This is important as the East coordinate isn't taken from 0 meridian, but from some certain meridian. Here, most likely 14* as the number starts like that. North is meters from equator and Z/height from standard sea level.
     
    GPS devices do accept multiple coordinates. But most just WGS-84 or Google Web Mercator. Unless you have something intended for professional use.

    Lookes like UTM. Look up your specific region to determine what number. In Denmark we use UTM32 and 33
     
    I tried googling converters, and this is one of the hits.  Ehttps://www.earthpoint.us/convert.aspx
     
    I usually use some paid for software for conversions at my work, so I cannot attest to the quality of the page. 
     
    I'm not sure however. There is something wrong with coordinate one. I'll look a bit more into it

    Solved it!
     
    Its a local Swedish system called SWEREF. I admit I bruteforced through to the conclusion that it is the sub system called 99 17 15, but maybe play a bit around with the "From System" tab to be sure. I managed to get the lattitude and Longitude to hit pretty well on the adresse according to google earth.

    This shouldn't be necessary. It's shitty anti-consumer business practice to hide your pricing behind signups. 
     
    Also did you go to that page that's being returned in Bing? The pricing info isn't listed there at all. I'm assuming that Bing is using a cached version, meaning that they used to publish the cost on the FAQ, but intentionally decided to remove it. 
     
    This isn't an oversight. It's purposefully done to harvest your data before you have an opportunity to make a decision if the piece is palatable. It's gross.

    Pretty irritated with CoPilot as well. Went through the sign up process to see the price (annoying, but whatever), stopped after getting paired with a trainer because I couldn't afford the roughly $110 a month. Little too much for me, no big deal, kind of what I expected

    I have since gotten several text messages after the fact trying to push me into a membership with them, including them trying to entice me with a discount. Just blocked the number and am gonna block the email too for when those start coming as well.

    This is true. Only place on their website where I can find something sort of pricing is at store and with gift cards. Where base is $99 and based on 3-month card, that is for 1 month.
     
    With this sponsor, it seems like LMG has taken a nap when choosing sponsors. The T&C of this company is full of pointless copy-paste stuff and then some bit worrying terms. Like about price changes. They do have "we will give you notice", but they haven't given minimum timeframe (which should be 30-days to give time to cancel). Also, the fact that they ask for very personal information BEFORE registering account adding to the prices not being shown. They could be collecting data, and being US company, once your data is there, you don't have control over it.
     
    If this would be EU company, most of the stuff above would be illegal.

    Copilot seems to purposefully obscure any pricing information. Without going through their signup process, I had to get pricing info from a third party, as it was not available on their website that I could find.

    Both are fairly well shielded at this point. So if those protections would be taken away, it could be harmful with really long-term exposures. But overall, even my post is bit sarcastic. Here in Southern Finland, background radiation from Radon in bedrock is the biggest radiation anywhere ever. Next biggest are any X-rays taken, and most people will have atleast one of those in their lifetime (during dental care).
     
    I read fairly recent research on mobile phone radiation. Its still there and still long exposures would be a issue. But that would mean having one strapped next to vital organs and constantly communicating for hours on hours. No one is using them like that anymore.

    Radiotation you get from every micro-meal you eat is more harmful. Or the flatscreen radio device you help near your vital organs daily.

    LogicalDrm got a reaction from u55ama in "PING" ADVICE NEEDED   
    You can't blindly look at Speedtest results for networking issues. Ping, for example, is time it takes a package to go from your PC to server. For Rust, what you are seeing in browser is from you to server one way. But it might be that what you see in game is from you to server and back to you. Which is doubt the actual number, so 150ms max for you. Its still high-ish. But if game has good netcode, it doesn't matter.
     
    For Speedtest, it picks closest server to you since purpose is to test your speeds, not ping. For ping testing, you should manually pick server that is geographically more in line with servers you play on. So EU servers usually Netherlands or Germany.
     
    As example, closest Speedtest server for me is 200km away. Ping 25ms. From me to Mumbai, India, which is about same as from Pakistan to Netherlands, I get 180ms ping. And then there is routing. If you get bad routing through different countries servers, that will cause more instability to your connection. And you really can't do much about it.

    Just because a company makes a fault and LMG doesn’t let that company sponsor LMG anymore doesn’t mean that they have to stop using their products.

    The Discord, however, is; and the Discord is the topic of discussion here.
     
    If the Discord is official, then Secret Labs needs to stop trying to silence criticism.  If it is not official, Secret Labs needs to clarify such and stop promoting it (e.g. in the official linktree) as if it were official.
     
    Either way, Secret Labs is doing something very, VERY wrong here.
