    Zandvliet got a reaction from Totallycasual in Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Live-streamed and Released by CD Project Red   
    I really hope there is an 3rd person view. Also, somehow I expected better graphics, but we'll see how the final game looks. Though I didn't watch the whole gameplay as I want to keep most of it a surpise.

    Zandvliet reacted to BuzStringer in Anything Wrong with uneven Push Pull for water-cooling?   
    Testing did involve buying 2 more fans and 2nd fan controller (that can control individual fans). I bought them.
     
    Ran a game for about an hour so far so good the difference is about 200 rpm at idle and about 500 rpm under gaming load, things kept cool and no additional noise from turbulence.
     
    I will do a proper burn in test over the next few days a post the results.

    Although I have done some full size panther helmets, for the build i'm going with half face that will be used on the outside of the case.
    I want to try keep as much of the original glass and outer case visible as possible.

    You can change it in Origin. Go to Origin -> application settings -> install & saves. For downloading from your browser you should change it in the browser settings itself.

    Zandvliet got a reaction from AlTech in Steam doesn't remember password   
    Hi,
     
    Every time I start up my pc, Steam doesn't remember the password and I have to type it in even though the box is checked. I have this problem on two of my pc's.
    I think this has something to do with my VPN (PIA) as it started when I got it. 
    Does anyone else have the same problem?
     
    Cheers.

    Zandvliet got a reaction from laushik in I need guidance on my social life.   
    Sorry to hear this, you yourself gave a good example what to do. Telling your parents is the best thing to do here. Ask them if they had this when they were in school and if they think it's a good idea to talk to a professional. If this is a bridge to far, talk to a professional at school. Not sure if they have it at your school, but in my opinion they should. Those people have a obligation to help you and if you want they cannot tell your parents. 
    Do you play videogames with any class mates? You could ask them online to meet them after school. Start with something small, for example it could be that someone has to go into the same direction as you when you are going home and you can ask them to walk/ride/take bus together. 
    Other then this it's hard to give more advise, things will get better when you're older. You have to believe that you can do it, that is the first step. After which things like this will get easier. 
     
    Good luck!

    Zandvliet got a reaction from r3loAded in 120hz TN or 144hz IPS?   
    I currently have the Asus MG279Q (IPS) and used to have a Asus VG278QE (TN) next to it and I can say that the difference is large in my opinion. When comparing the same picture on both monitors you'll clearly see a difference. I high prefered the IPS monitor.
     
    So if the price is not much different between the two, get the IPS one. Note you do have a chance for backlight bleeding with the IPS.

    I personally do not know if the curves will be a problem, from what I saw with curved monitors in stores I didn't have a problem with it. I guess that really comes down to the person using it. Some people will hate the curves will others do not have a problem with it. I would recommend go to a store where they have one standing and try it out.

    Sources:
    https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/home https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/image-of-the-week https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/dr2 Another great overview of all the data plus addition links:
    https://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/documentation/GDR2/index.html  
    The Gaia satellite- credits: ESA, ATG medialab

     
    The Gaia satellite, which launched on December 19th 2013, has just released its second data set (DR2) containing statistics of just under 1.7 billion stars! This is a great moment for the astronomical community who now has the opportunity to feast on a lot of data. And the best part is: you can download all the data yourself! See: https://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/ 
     
    Gaia has been measuring star transits almost continually since 2013 completing a full sky survey every 2 months and then stars over, detecting circa 100000 stars per minute (source: live coverage of the release). Which is not just a crazy amount of data points but also a hugh technical achievement. Thus resulting into the total number of star transits of 100 billion. Note that the data set of Gaia does not contain 100 billion stars, but 1692919135 stars, where the stars are measured multiple times during the course of the observations. Which is only about 1 percent of the total number of stars in our galaxy alone. And our galaxy is only one galaxy in the universe, which is estimated (as far as we know now) to have 2 trillion galaxies. 
     
    Besides the fact that there are many sources measured, another great accomplishment is the fact that there are over 7 million sources with radial velocities. This means that of over 7 million stars we know how fast they are moving through the Milky Way and in which direction. This can result in a much greater understanding of galaxy dynamics. Also pay attention to the difference in sources for the variable sources in DR1 and DR2 (these are stars whos magnitude\brightness changes over time periodically). These sources are also called 'standard candles', this is because they have a very well defined relation between variability and brightness. And in the world of astrophyics knowing the brightness of a source very accurately is knowing the distance very well. Hence the name 'standard candle'.

    To end this post I'd like to show the images made from the data in DR1(left) and DR2 (right), I highly recommend downloading the images yourselfs and take a look at our Milky Way and many other sources inside the Milky Way. 
     
    Any more astronomers on this forum? What do you guys think about this release? I think this release is another monumental accomplishment and in the coming years astronomers will have their hands full understanding the data and revealing more mysteries of our Milky Way/universe.
     
    Quick side note: most people often ask me what is the point of astronomy, but most people do not know how many technical inventions orgininate from astronomy/space travel. Like velcro, high res camera's, MRI technology etc etc. on top of the scientific understanding of our universe.
