:woot:  Its too much! At least Amazon is ready, but I wouldn't be shocked if all of those are just to cover pre-orders.  Hopefully mine is in there.

 

We are almost there.  I'm counting the days now.

I didn't think you were getting a ps4

Seems to be 54 per crate, 25 rows long, looks about 3 rows across, around 4,050 PS4s. 

I figured about 75 PS4s per crate, because I can see 6 PS4s horizontally placed in 3 sections with 30 PS4s in 2 sections vertically placed in-between the horizontally placed ones .  75 PS4s per crate x 75 crates in total in 3 rows, is 5625. The PS4 is $399, so there is apparently about $2,244,375 worth of PS4s in the photo.

There could be more in the truck trailers and/or other side of the yellow bridge (or whatever that is) in the photo...

It's 4 per block (3 Vertical + 1 Horizontal) * (12 blocks) -> (48 + 6 horizonal on the bottom) -> 54 total.    It would be 54 * 25 * 3 = Total PS4's  * 399 = Total MSRP Value

Well I had said I was just going to get one at launch, but while I was waiting to decide, I pre-ordered both early on from Amazon.  That way, I could easily cancel the one I decided to stick with, but it made sure that I wouldn't miss one.  In fact, I could still cancel one, but as we have gotten closer, I have found it hard to part with one, so it looks like I'm getting both. 

 

The ps4 is too good to pass up power wise, but it lacks launch titles I want, while the x1 has the launch titles I want plus the better media support at launch.  I'm getting extended warranties for both to avoid the first gen failures (cheap through Amazon).  Hard to pick between them for me personally. I'll just have to delay my smartphone/tablet buys until next year :laugh:.

Soooooooooo,

Whos going to be the first to try and build a supercomputer by connecting all these together like they did the PS3?

It would me much cheaper to build using AMD parts this time. These are generic x64 APUs.

I know it doesn't make a single bit of difference to anything, but I think the PS4 box art is incredibly lacklustre.

Then again, it does have a sweet carry handle.

hmm.. Amazon.ca doesn't offer extended Warranties.. I hadn't thought about that.  I wonder if Sony will offer one.

Its through square trade.  I'm not sure if that is offered on that site as well, but I have to say the rates for coverage are cheap.  I can cover both a ps4 and x1 for two years beyond the standard one year for $80 total.  That's 3 year warranties for both. I like the terms as well since they pay for shipping on a return. 

 

I really shouldn't be buying both at launch considering the insane expense, but you only live once I suppose.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
