:woot: a hat dropping is rare as it is, twice in a week thats lucky!

According to this 5.42% TF2 players have it

Ooh. Then I may try and trade my second one for another hat or perhaps the new Heavy minigun :)

No kidding.....I have have had 2-3 hat drops since the drop system was added......that's including back when they had no drop cap and you could idle as long as you wanted for drops. Twice in one week is more than I have had in months worth of drops. Put it this way, I have crafted more hats than I have gotten through the drop system, and I have only crafted about 4-5 hats.

For that hat you could probably take 2-3 lvl 3 metals, crafting the new minigun takes only 2x lvl 2 metal + natasha, not worth it imho :D I have crafted that minigun already, it's good damage-wise but basically you can't move while shooting, more useful in defensive situations I think.

An item is only worth what the trader wants for it.

If all he wants is the new minigun for that hat, then it is completely worth it to him.

Don't let others set the price for items, decide what you want for what you have and use that as your price guide. It's the reason I wouldn't trade any of my equipped hats unless I got significantly more than others think they are worth, because if I could then I could easily trade for those same hats and have more left over. It's also the same reason I would only trade hats 1 for 1, no matter what hat it is I am trading and what hat it is I want.

Didn't you notice the big IMHO :D I just pointed out that he could get more for the hat - new minigun - 12 items + natasha, 3 scrap metal - 54 items :p

I know, I'm just pointing out to him that if that's all he wants for the hat, then that's exactly what that hat is worth to him.

So, Medics don't charge ubers anymore because of the other methods of healing. That is annoying.

I unboxed a second Winter Crate. Got the Fists of Steel, AGAIN. Traded them and a Reclaimed for The Milkman. So happy :D

The medic crossbow is stupid and it's making it even harder to get healed. Nice trade with the Milkman :)

2 hats is more than I've ever received from the random drop system, and the one hat I did get was due to a server glitch (everybody on the server was getting items every time they died)

It's one of the things that started me idling, and even then I've only gotten about 3-4 drop hats (the rest were crafted)

I've 210+ hrs playing TF2 and it's the 2nd hat I've got, the first one was Stainless Pot.

I have a total of ~1500 hours, 800 just from idling after the drop system was implemented....I have gotten 2 random drop hats, a Vintage Tyrolean and a Hotrod. I have crafted a Batters Helmet, Brigand helm, Respectless Rubber Glove, Stainless Steel Pot and a Safe n Sound.

Luckily, I have gotten my favorite hats for all my usual classes so I don't care too much about getting more (traded the Brigand Helm for a Tossle cap, I wear that as scout, the rubber glove as pyro and the pot as soldier).

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
