A few creators sell the same mesh models bought from sites such as cgtrader or turbosquid,
I wouldn't necessarily say it's uncommon to find the same mesh model produced by different creators.
There is also a lot of prefabs for buildings and premades for clothes.

You probably just let more people know about your ban than if you had just left it alone and not posted this on a forum.

This may be a stupid question, but can Second Life support raytracing? Just wondering.
The reason why I ask is because I'm getting a new graphics card (RTX 4070, which is capable of raytracing). Even if RT is not possible in SL, I want to see how the graphics card improves the graphics in SL over my current GTX 1660 Super.
My understanding is that SL doesn't currently utilize video card memory as much other games. It mostly uses CPU and RAM. So that 4070 might only be a slight difference (at least for SL. It'll be a huge difference for actual games). This will change in a good way once PBR is implemented however as the resources will then be diverted mostly to CPU and VRam. I'd probably wait to see how that 1660 performs with PBR unless you are hellbent on upgrading regardless or were able to snipe one in the meantime for a good price. I think anyone who isn't using an on-board vid card will see a bump in performance once PBR is out.

Theme: 50L Items (Excluding Fatpacks)
Yes i get that. The fatpacks are discounted too though. Hence why I asked what the normal price was. Since 1250 seemed pretty normal.

Did you make the mistake of assuming that an event called "The Fifty" is a 50 l sale event, rather than being full price event with 50 merchant, run by the SAME people that run the 50 ls weekend sale list, which isn't a single location event at all?
Typically about 2 people a month seem to make that mistake.
No, it's an actual FLF birthday event.

Your use of "pig in a poke" is completely wrong. It goes along with "the cat is out of the bag". Both refer to purchasing something under completely false pretenses, and "no mod" is pretty up front. Don't buy anything without trying the demo first, that way you have a much better idea what you're purchasing or even if you want it at all.
Cell phones are a very "no mod" item, are they breaking some nonexistent rule by being so? "no mod" in SL prevents counterfeiting and protects the creator's ownership of the design. Not all creator's set it up and that's their right to do so.
No-mod does not prevent counterfeit. Not remotely. And yes they own the design and rights as such but the thing they just sold to a customer they do not own. Besides, I find most just make things no mod to hide the fact it is premade mesh as most original creators are mod.

My congratulations to Linden Labs on securing investment from JP Morgan. Undoubtedly, this is a vote of confidence in the Second Life virtual world. It should give us all confidence. Well done to Linden Labs management and staff for their hard work not just in this investment, but in creating a great platform for us all
🥳
I thought it was Tilia being invested in.

I use ASWD in SL since its closer to other keys than the arrow keys. However most gamers use their mouse for movement since it frees up other keys for keybinds. In fact most "gamers" mock "keyboard turners" since it's obvious in game as it is much slower than mouse turning.

You can't compare gardening tool cost to a gaming computer. And, which gaming computer do you mean? Supposed "gaming computers" or those labeled that way vary from $600 to $13,000 dollars, give or take.
But, still Paul you cannot compare the cost of most hobbies like gardening, sewing, crocheting, SL (as it is now) with needing a new "gaming" computer. And, it's a bear market. Many people don't want to spend a lot of money now.
He also mentioned paintball, motorcycles and drone flying. The hobby determines the expense. Gaming unfortunately does require at least an up-to-date computer. Not necessarily a 2080 or 3080 or whatever. But a 1060 with a decent amount of RAM is probably baseline these days.
As for specs I assume its difficult for SL to pin point an exact requirement. Even with forced ALM It really depends on your preference. For me, I like eye candy so I use max settings anyways. I wouldn't play without ALM ever. I would literally lower everything else before ALM (I tend to start with draw distance). But for others who don't need all the bells and whistles the spec requirement would be much less for them even with ALM required.

you get your full info they stored about you only when you place a GDPR request.
They dó have all your info you gave. It just isn't public out of protection, not even to yourself, and of course not available for anyone at LL ( i hope) but some do. As example, they can ask quite personal questions when you have a support problem.What info did you give? It only asks for email address and date of birth upon creating an account. They only ask for personal information when you try to purchase lindens which takes you to another website and is handled by Tilia. Not LL. Tilia has all our personal information (and its own TOS). LL as it pertains to this updated TOS has your date of birth (assuming you gave them an accurate one) and email address... and likely your IP address(es).. And I believe ( i could be wrong) even the age verification process is handled by a 3rd party.

I don't see how SL cannot have your full name, address, email address, and telephone number, and any device ID you use when logged into SL. This is from the LL new privacy rules, not Tilia:
1. TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT ITWe collect two types of information – “personal information” and “anonymous information” – which we may use to create a third type of information, “aggregate information”.
-
“Personal Information”, also often referred to as “Personal Data”, means information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, household, or device, such as the individual’s first and last name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, username, and/or image.
Like I said, look at your account info.

So you are a Basic member with no payment info on file? And no alts sharing the same IP that might have PIOF? You never buy anything in SL then too?
No, I am a premium plus with payment information on file. Payments are processed through Tilia while owned by the same people is governed under a separate TOS as it is a money transmitter.
Look at your account info in Secondlife. It has your email address and the last 4 of whatever credit card you use. Not much more.
-
I'm curious as to what exactly the information they would be able to share with 3rd parties. For me they only have my email (which was created purely for Secondlife) and my billing zip code. So what if any personal information can they share? SL doesn't even have my phone number nor my address.

You can use any object you'd like that is mod and drop the script in it.

I’ve noticed this too since the latest FS update. But literally everything else loads quicker. I think it’s a good trade off tbh.

Me too, if it looks good in midday it will look good any way is my motto. I derender water, pause clouds and these are my normal settings. I don't really have to do this with any other program, so anything the experts think will make the cogs omega better is cool with me.
I’ve been pretty satisfied with the latest FS update so far. It seems to run a lot more efficiently at higher settings now. Maybe you could try ramping up the settings a bit to see how it goes.

Funny you should bring MD Labs up, when there was just a thread about their unsatisfactory buyer-side experience, with people having to go directly to the store for redelivery because the terminals don't work. Good if Caspervend is staying viable, if only because the alternatives seem lackluster.
I couldn't find the thread so I am not sure about the context but I did look for an MD Labs redeliver on the MP and couldnt find one. This was months ago. I ended up modifying a full perm one meant for caspervend and just changed the link to one for an MD Store I use a lot. The link seems to expire once in awhile but other than that I haven't had any issues.

Im curious what the purchase of Caspervend means for other vendors who provide similar services such as MD Labs. Seems SL will be directly competing with residents now.

It doesn't take an automated vendor system like Caspervend to know that. EVERY merchant, in fact every resident, has access to data telling them who's paid them, and how much and when. It merely takes saving one's Transaction History to a spreadsheet and then adding up everyone's purchases and sorting them in a spreadsheet.
Yes I understand that. And I understand why vendors would want to keep track of that. Casper however does it all for you. It wasn’t a screen shot of a spreadsheet. Regardless the semantics of that data wasn’t really my issue. It was that it was shared in a group chat using an gyazo link or one of those. So it wasn’t just shared in the group but it’s also out in the nether of the interwebs.

I kind of like the idea of LL taking over Casper. From bad previous experiences with 3rd party websites and SL. I’m not sure what kind of info Casper allows vendors access too but others give “Gm” or whatever access to any Tom, Dick or Harry. I’ve also had a vendor post a screen shot of their top customers by lindens spent over a dispute or whatever going on in their group chat. I happened to be on the list. I thought it was cool to be one of the top buyers but did everyone need to know that? And I wasn’t involved in the conversation.

Yes this is accurate. It used to be disallowed on those sites by default to upload their models to SL but a few of the original creators there have come around on SL and don’t have a problem with it. Some of the newer models are even already in DAE format.
I’ve personally bought a model for the Lionheart gunblade when I couldnt find a decent one on the MP and I wanted to dress up like Squall for fantasy faire a couple years ago.
I don’t personally have an issue with it however it is a bit cringy when the same model shows up at the same popular event twice within the same year. Especially when one was 550L and the second was nearly 4k L. The previous is still my favorite monocycle though. 😉
