  • A phone is easier to resell than a dashcam I'd say, so maybe that's better.

    Also indeed heat inside the car could be a huge problem depending on where you live and if you have access to a shaded parking.

    For a 1st test you could simply record the camera without streaming with the app and see how long that goes.

  • Wait do you want to have some sort of security camera when not using the car or more something to record when driving?

    Do you want to stream the camera with the phone? If so that'll take quite a bit more power than you're expecting.

    If you want to record when the car is sitting idle, I wouldn't connect it to the car directly as you'll probably drain the battery (the capacity of those isn't huge and I bet you'd drain it enough in <10h)

    If you want the phone to be able to record and stream over 2G / 4G for a full week, I would do the following:

    Fully charge the phone, turn off the WiFi, set the app to start the stream, and make it look outside a window. Then check in every hour to see when the battery ran out.

    Once you know it take X hours to drain the battery, look up your phone battery capacity (ideally in WH to get an accurate result, but mAh is fine), and then you can do the math:

    There's 24*7= 168h in a week You need capacity for 168/X hours (the time it took to drain the battery) Multiply by your capacity C

    So in the end you'll need a power bank that has at least 168/X*C Wh.

    If you only have the mAh rating it's a bit more math, happy to help with infos if you need it.

    The importance of a dedicated setup

    I've moved 3 times in the past 3 years, and only now do I have a dedicated small table for the miniature hobby. I have made more progress painting in 5 days than I did in the past year!

    I think the most important part (for me) is to have a setup where I can just have my WIP there, ready to be worked on instantly. The less friction to start painting, the easier I'll start.

    The Skadis board is also great for paint and tools, especially if you have a 3D printer. Having every pots visible when I get into my office makes me want to paint!

    How soon in your hobby did you get a dedicated setup? For those that don't, how do you manage the setup time?

  • If you're not really into the civilization series, I would always wait when the game has a huge sale.

    I started with Civ5 during a 10$ sale with all expansions, 200 Hours. As a treat I bought Civ6 on launch, which while slightly barebone (all civ games are on launch) was really fun, and after buying the expansions and a couple DLC I got 500h on it so clearly a good investment.

    I would put Civ6 and Civ7 in your wishlist to get notified when there's a sale, and see if you like it or not after the fact.

    The current reviews for 7 are mostly about the UI and the limited selection of civs to choose, also for some reason some players can't bare the idea of stopping the game at the cold war just before the moon landing.

  • Tbh I'm a bit torn with Civ7, as while I really like the mechanics and all, the game seems pretty empty content-wise with such a small number of civs (and the 4th Era that will be in the 1st expansion)... But on the other hand civilization has constantly been a game I've enjoyed hundreds of hours, and it seems I'll enjoy this one at least just as much!

    I want to reward Firaxis from making good games and give them money, but I don't want to reward 2K games with their business tactics (especially with Denuvo...).

  • The best way I've discovered 40k lore beyond hearing from a friend and some meme is Luetin09, which has a great narrator voice, consider his channel a huge audio library of alleged facts and stories.

    Also, I heavily recommend Arbitor Ian as he has both a nice presentation style, and also talks about the meta aspects (like how things evolved in the 40 years of 40K lore changing)

    Heard it over and over again because KH1 was hard as a kid :') But at least there's Forze del Male (the boss music) which is peak 👌

  • It's still on and will close at the end of the month. But yes I'm very annoyed that they didn't share much of the instance outside a small notification on the admin.ch website. But the goal of this whole pilot test is that if Mastodon became big within the year, they would already have an instance running with officials accounts. But instead I guess they will focus on Bluesky.

    After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance

    TL;DR:

    Pilot Project Conclusion: The Swiss Federal Chancellery’s Mastodon instance pilot project, launched in September 2023, has ended as the conditions for continuation were not met.

    Low Engagement: The six official accounts on Mastodon had around 3500 followers in total, with low engagement rates compared to other platforms like X and Instagram.

    User Decline: The number of active Mastodon users globally is decreasing, contributing to the decision to end the project.

    Closure: The social.admin.ch instance will be closed at the end of the month.

    Confederation closes its Mastodon instance

    Bern, 25.09.2024 - Since September 2023, the Federal Chancellery has been operating a Mastodon instance for the federal administration. The pilot project, limited to one year, ends today as the conditions for its continuation have not been met.

    As part of their statutory information mandate, the Federal Council and the federal administration have also been

  • For the mods at least, the dev interview at PAX clearly had a moment when one guy said "the possibilities of combination with civilizations switching is going to be higher, especially with the modding community adding custom civs.

    But since they said a huge part of the playerbase is console, I'm guessing mods won't be using the steam workshop but the launcher so that consoles can have mods...

    As for Linux support yeah I would like to hope, maybe the stats of Civ6 on the steamdeck could push them to make it compatible but if they have denuvo I doubt it...

  • The USSR (then Russia) did this in the 90s, first prototype was a 20m wide reflector. Second prototype failed and then interest and money went away. Originally it was meant to also test solar sails feasibility.

    If you have Nebula, Mustard did a 10mn documentary on it.
