For my liking, that estimated time display is probably one of the best updates LL ever came up with. The letdown is that they also doubled the fees for any transaction, but that's a different story. At first, I had doubts that the predicted time would be right, considering the hefty jump from 10 minutes to 3 days at the very least if you merely switch from L$ 260 to L$ 261 per dollar. But it works. Cool.

I've re-read that part a couple of times now and my only thought is: What? The Vision 3D mini-boxes are sold as "media machines" and are advertised as such. You bought it for a task it was never meant for. That should have been pretty crystal clear from those specs. What do you want now? A complete system that is actually capable of running SL or some special fiddling with external graphics and a barely satisfying experience? For a whole new system, a good basic setup for gaming purposes ... and yes, in this case, SL does count as a game... can be built for about $ 560, listing my stubborn Newegg wishlist which refuses to switch to public: 8GB RAM https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231963 MSI B250M Pro-VD https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130991 Intel Pentium G4600 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117739 EVGA GTX 1050ti https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487291 Corsair CX-M 450w https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139146 Crucial MX300 275GB https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820156150 Random case that's not too shabby https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353121 I boldly assume that you got a mouse, a keyboard and a display. You probably need another OS license if you plan to keep using the AsRock machine. Otherwise, add the Win7 key to your Microsoft account and grab the still available free update to Win10. Then download the official Media Creation tool by MS to create a bootable USB medium and you can happily install a fresh Win10 copy, signing in your MS account with the original Win7 key to register your machine. Either you can build it yourself, there are plenty of good tutorials on how to do it, both written and video ones. Or you have a capable contact who can build it. Or you find the store's assembly service somewhere on their page, which I did not find...

I'd strongly suggest to stay away from no demo offers in case of mesh clothing. Exceptions can be made if it is an older outfit with plain textures and perhaps some prim / sculpted attachments, which isn't uncommon for the kind of periodic costume style you seem to search for.

In other words: as a consumer who buys clothing and accessories from creators, you can do next to nothing after your purchase. Even if the purchased item is mod-enabled, you do not have access to the base mesh and neither should you have access to the textures applied to a mesh, so there isn't any way for you to change the attributes of that item. You can nicely ask a creator and politely request an update for lower rendering cost. Some may consider it, some may throw a tantrum. Before your purchases, you can pay attention when demoing an item and avoid creators known for bad optimisation.

Due to the "flatness" of Mr. Bonaparte's cut, I'd limit your search to drawn-on hairbases on a tattoo layer ... assuming that your current skin doesn't already have drawn on hair, without a bald option.

Any chances that the viewer might still be using the integrated graphics of the APU? I may suppose that the old Nvidia drivers have been properly removed, before you installed the current AMD one? Or ones, counting in the APU

I find it quite amusing that one of the booths lets you read the original setup instructions, if you cam past their own setup. Anyway, it's a pleasure to navigate the fairgrounds this time. It almost felt like a speedrun, when I sent my alts shopping.

You might have a right in saying your stuff - or rather: permission to express it in a privately run environment like a forum, yet you don't have any that others have to accept or listen to it.

Why do I have a strong feeling that you might be one of those who put on their most render intense outfit while visiting a crowded, popular fair? Loading optimisation over "creative" deco trinkets.

So you got about US$ 450 to spend? The Acer you mentioned sells for about 400€ around here - and on the pages I checked, it is clearly called an "office only" laptop. In that price range, you won't find much more than plain office or media playback machines. So you might have to look at the second hand market and hope to find a good offer for a used "gaming" laptop.

Within the context of previous posts, this might be be related to crossing sim borders while flying jets? Maybe? Perhaps? That post is pretty cryptic. Due to the lack of information to work with, just a general assumption: some sims are significatnly heavier to load than others, due to different numbers in objects, different quality of those objects, tons of oversized textures, general lag etc... FPS aren't measured in %, just by the way.

Probably still a nice typewriter, but not suited for SL. What's the matter now? Do you rather plan to "upgrade" your desktop computer or would you rather buy a "new" second hand laptop? If it's your desktop, then do get a tool like Speccy and post a screenshot of your system stats. That way, there's a chance to see if it's worth to change something about your setup. In general, the hard limit of your budget would be nice to know.

ROG products certainly aren't the most silent in most cases. One exception is their cooling design on a RX 580, where they are on par with the Sapphire Nitro models ... but that doesn't really matter anyway, as long as pretty much every AMD card in that range is sold to mining farms. Actually, I suggested a whole system. I'm not watching the US prices, but over here on the German market, prices have been increasing by 20€ and more per part. Pretty insane.

I have no idea about the dresscode for Gorean Free women or any specific Gorean stuff ... but you might find a number of nice shops if you look at the participating stores in events like "We love Roleplay".

Like Theresa wrote, it's old, it was already low level 13 years ago, but most of all: it uses an horribly outdated AGP slot and probably won't have proper driver support for current operating systems. If you still have compatible hardware to run that card, your computering expectations are probably pretty ... well, frugal.

i5s are dead meat by now as quad core CPUs are beginning to rot. Look at "Battlefield 1" multiplayer benchmarks and see the symptoms, especially when focussing on the minimum FPS they may generate. There is one exception, the i7 7700k ... quad core, capable of hyperthreading, highest out of the box single core speed ... overall, probably your best choice for Photoshop as of now. At the same time, those i5s come at roughly same price as AMD's hexacores, so they aren't very attractive in terms of prices either. But anyway, you might be well off if you wait one more week. Preorders for the new i9s are said to be available by the end of next week. We might see further price drops for the Ryzen 50 1600, which is already dropping... Intel has never been known to reduce their prices, even for older hardware.

"Share as public wishlist" "Yes!" ... stupid system. Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Crucial MX300 M.2 275GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM Asus Prime B350-Plus ... fine new basic config. Or the budget solution featuring the Pentium mentioned before.

Even last summer, the mentioned parts would have been outdated. A nice buy if you find them on the second hand market. But not components for a fresh purchase. No idea and no interest in Sansar and its requirements. But recently, I set up a wishlist at Newegg for someone looking for a gaming rig, intending to play the early access of Playerunknown's Battlegrounds... about US$ 915 for the components, missing a case. As I understand, they also offer an assembly service somewhere in those listings... haven't found it yet. As an alternative, you could replace the 275GB M.2 drive with a regular SSD of 525GB. In general, limiting yourself to just one brand instead of considering the competitor isn't too smart, but at the moment, there are literally no AMD cards available at all. Pretty much sold out to mining farms. Overall, you could also "downgrade" to an Intel Pentium G4560 / 8GB DDR4-2400 RAM / Gigabyte GA-B250M-D2V as an budget build for SL.

Errr... grab all available demos from the "usual suspects" brands and try them for as long as you like?

You wrote "the object" ... so is it merely one object, always the same one, that keeps distorting? Then Pamela's hint is more than likely: the creator of said object simply messed up its lower render states. Nothing you can do to fix the object. You could bump up your object detail to basically eliminate the low render state, roughly spoken, but that merely adds a lot of render weight just for the sake of one object. Scratch "high", put "from average to basic gaming entry level" ... still fine in terms of SL and its needs, nonetheless.

+1 for Izzie's tattoo and applier layers which work nicely with a whole load of other skins. Deetalez also has several freckled options.

I never had a Linden Home on my end, but you should be able to manage it from your dashboard, at https://secondlife.com/my/account/membership.php?lang=en-US . However, there is no free piece of land waiting for you for free. You will have to get around the Mainland continents inworld or browse the land sale ads in this forum or on the Marketplace for suitable plots of Mainland. The plots will have a price upfront, x L$ per squaremeter depending mostly depending on the seller's idea of "worth". Land can be a very though and tricky subject... make sure to read, read and read proper guides and user explanations to get the hang of it.

Is that your way of expressing that all the replies you received to your first request don't bother you at all?

First off ... there are three Bento enabled heads made by LeLutka - Simone, Chloe and Cate. These heads will respond accordingly, if you change the features of your standard SL shape. That's "all" that the Bento feature indicates. Since you already have the Maitreya body, you'll also have the generic skintones in the body HUD. Those are done by Glaim Affair. They also provide the basic textures for the LeLutka heads, so you should be able to get a fine match when you try the head demos. That should be a nice start to get the proper feel for matching head and body textures. For further shopping, you'll simply have to purchase appliers in the same skin tone from the same brand for a good match. You'll need two appliers in total: one for the body and one for the head. Both the body and the head (watch out, only the Bento enabled LeLutka heads do, not the older static ones!) do support Omega skins, which is a third party add-on so to speak. It's an extra purchase on top of the components and appliers, available at the SL Marketplace for around 99 L$ per piece or at half the price for Omega support group members via the inworld vendor. It's a tool mostly handy for creators, so they don't have to put out a number of specific skin appliers and just offer the Omega one for a multitude of components. For you as an end user, you'll be able to use, for example, omega enabled make-up appliers which aren't specifically advertised for the brand of your mesh head.

Well, that escalated quickly on your end. Your most prominent question was a rather broad "your thoughts?" at the end of the OP and that's what you got in response, both from scripters also answering the more specific "How do you handle Full Permission requests?" and from a consumer point of view. Apparently, you do not seem to like the different kind of replies for whatever reason and instead flip to some far-fetched "you insulted me" claims. OK. But the attempt to educate Innula on copyright law was amusing to read at least, after all.
