  1. They also have mid-week madness sales on Wednesdays, the prices and selection are usually better. Check the regular listings too, sometimes their new products are cheaper than b-stock.
  2. Yeah, that's probably why LL doesn't have a web site to detect your hardware and recommend upgrades. They'll put stuff in the database then never update it or make up hardware that doesn't exist.
  3. I have an original M1 MacBook Pro, I don’t think it gets hot enough to throttle anything, the only times I’ve noticed the fan coming on is when I’ve been exporting video in DaVinci Resolve. I haven’t run SL on an M2 yet.
  4. Maybe it's helped the cards AMD is selling today, but those drivers did jack ***** for my old but still allegedly supported RX550.
  5. Sometimes the viewers can do a sub-optimal job with the default graphics settings. Like enabling shadows on video cards that have no business trying to do that. Turning off shadows is the #1 way to improve performance. If you're running Firestorm (which I assume you are because everyone does) go to graphics settings and change water reflections to none (opaque). There's a bug that causes a significant hit to performance even if you're nowhere near any water. All viewers have an option to enable lossy texture compression. I find this helps, especially in crowded situations because running out of VRAM tanks your performance straight to zero, and this cuts SL's VRAM usage in half. More or less. If you have a computer that struggles with basic computer tasks, this may do more harm than good. Finally, if you aren't using the Linden viewer, download the latest one and give it a shot, they've introduced some excellent performance improvements.
  6. Right now it's two people and three annoying objects. That's what I mostly use it for, people who are playing music over voice or a repeating gesture and objects that just won't STFU.
  7. Ask and you shall receive. Looks like it did fix it. Thanks Firestorm people!
  8. I think you have to wait for the next release of Firestorm. macOS’s security won’t let FS access the microphone.
  9. The information is reported accurately in the System Report. I'm pretty sure it has been for years and it can't be that difficult to access. This whole thing has the we couldn't figure out how to do it in 2004 and no one ever tried again vibe.
  10. Preferences > Graphics > Advanced Settings > Enable Texture Compression.
  11. How do people even know they're doing this? Do they tell you they're derezzing your clothes? More importantly, why don't I know about people doing this? On second thought, don't answer that.
  12. AR is for spam, ignore list is for jerks.
  13. I thought it was either a pump & dump or a way to extricate some of his money money from the Tesla stock bubble. Whatever it was, it went horribly, fabulously wrong.
