Dresden Ceriano wrote:What on earth gives you the idea that your specific overheating problems are systemic? If they were, I assure you, we'd have see numerous people posting here about similar issues... the truth of the matter is that we haven't seen any such thing. I'm not saying that it's not an issue for some people besides yourself, just that it doesn't occur as often as you seem to think.I know next to nothing about using Mac laptops for SL, but I do know that Maddy has used them for years without the issue of which you speak and may be able to help you mitigate your supposed damages. Yet, you chose to dismiss her input and write off her successful use of the platform on a Mac laptop as some sort of anomaly. Your assertion may be entirely correct and yet, I'd wager that my anecdotal evidence far outweighs your personal experience....Dres
Dres, feel free to ask around in the Macintosh User Group, the heat problem comes up there regulary, and they are *very* SL specific. Machines that run cool in more or less any other application add 30 or more degrees within minutes of running SL. Especially for densely packed machines like notebooks heat *can* be a killer. Which, in case of Macs, not only fits the mobile ones but to some degree also the iMac or the Mini.
Just a little test I did now: Within 5 minutes of starting SL, the GPU temp went from 35°C to 72°C. And that's on a 27inch iMac which has a bit more breathing room than a MacBook. (1 minute after quitting SL, it is down to 50°C already.)

Tomarax, get "SMCFanControl" and use it to manually push up the fan speed to maximum when running SL. The automatic fan speed control from Apple doesn't work good enough to keep the temps down under the impact of the SL viewer, at least with any kind of MacBook. With mine it makes a difference of roughty 85C to 60C (185F to 140F). The MacBook becomes a noisy **bleep**, but at least not an oven plate :-)

Man kann Gruppen nicht direkt loeschen - allerdings braucht eine Gruppe immer mindestens zwei Mitglieder. Also alle anderen rauskicken, und die Gruppe wird nach einigen Tagen automatisch geloescht.

I have 1 Homestead for sale, billing date is the 7th, so just paid and coming with a full month of tier. Price idea: $275. Please contact me in world.

There actually *is* a GT705, it is the lowest of the lowest in the 7xx series:
-
Phil, you will discover a whole new world if you got a real gaming card instead of an office card. Seriously, if you want to enjoy all the nice&shiny that came to SL over the last few years, anything below a x5x nvidia will not be enough. And the 705 mentioned in the OP's question is even lower than yours...
-
No. Not at all. Nvidia's for SL should have at least a 5, better a 6 as 2nd digit in the model number. The 705 is for office work and nothing else.
-
Yes, in world join the group "for sale by owner", there are almost always used regions for sale at much lower price than in the official landstore. Keep in mind that the billing date transfers to the new owner, too, so a region sold at 400 dollars with next billing date 3 weeks away is a better deal than one sold at 400 dollars with next billing date only 3 days away.
-
Yes, you always need at least one full region to be able to get a homestead, no matter from whom.
-
You were in need? You were able to grab other land before your old rent ran out, couldn't have been much of a need...

Doesn't look to me like the same situation, she very clearly wrote:
"I paid for some weeks (requirement just one week but I paid a few)"
To me that looks like she actually paid for rental time, not into a balance. BTW, I would really like to know what system/company that is, maybe you can tell me via inworld IM. I rent some shops myself and never encountered something like that, only the normal rental boxes (nowadays mostly Casperlet, in earlier times often Hippo), and they instantly turn money into time.
-
Wait, this is something completely different from the original poster. She haid paid for rent, the paid money was added to her rental time. I was under the impression that the same was true for you. If this is not the case and you had "free money" deposited there, they have to pay it back. And you should never do that again, why keep your money in the account of someone else, banking is forbidden anyways. If you want to park money outside your main account, just make an alt and give it to him.
If your money was "converted" into rental time, you're out of luck and what all others and I wrote already about contract is applieable.
-
Just how is your buying your own region a problem for your former landlord? Why should it even be? You could have simply timed your move smartly and used up what you paid for already before getting your own region. There is no stealing involved at all, the landlord kept his part of the contract, his only obligation beeing to provide you with the rental land you paid for. The "goods" that were paid for were received - the buyer or in this case the tenant aka you simply decided to throw them away. Calling this stealing (wrongly) is actually a very real crime called slander.
A contract is a contract is a contract. Turn on your brain before entering one. SL business is no game, it is for very real money.-

Lol, really, grow up! Every transaction you make in SL is based on a contract - that doesn't need to be written down. You can even sue in RL court about that stuff - so I would recommend you to go that way.
-
What makes you think you have any right to get your money back? A contract is a contract is a contract. The landlord kept his side - you on the other hand want to break it. Can you bring back gas from your car to the gas station when you notice that the one next door sells a cent cheaper? No. Not even if you pump it out of your car all by yourself into a bottle and give that bottle to the cashier of the gas station. Grow up.

Be glad it is 42 already, it was only 25 not that long ago. If I remember correctly the problem is what group membership is used for. It is amongst other things used to grant or deny land access, and at each parcel crossing the system has to check if you are a member of an allowed group or not - and it seems to make a big difference in system load if it has to check 42 or 300 groups.
Would be easier if there were different kinds of groups, like "managing groups" and "social groups".

Amethyst Jetaime wrote:When you buy a full region direct from LL, $1000 only covers the set up. You have to pay the first months tier too.
This is not correct, the $1000 setup fee includes the first month of tier. There was one exception during a promo period when LL didn't charge setup fees - in *that* case you had to pay the first month tier.
-
Well they will send you an eMail some time before they charge you again for renewal, so it shouldn't come as surprise to anyone, and you have time to cancel your premium membership before you get charged.

Check if the SIMs run on the same server channel (menu help --> about "whatever viewer you use", look for the line "Second Life Server"). I had trouble before jumping/walking between SIMs that run on different channels (main or RC channels).
If you have premium or concierge support available, you could try chat or open a ticket under "region performance".
-
Also verifizierter (sprich normalerweise per Kreditkarte abgesichertes) PayPal-Konto und Kreditkarte sollten auf jeden Fall gehen. Oder falls du genuegend L$ angespart hast, kannst du die auch auf LindeX verkaufen, und aus diesem US$-Guthaben bedient sich LL dann zuallererst wenn irgendwelche Zahlungsverpflichtungen anfallen.
-
Es gibt inworld eine Gruppe "For Sale by Owner", dort werden jede Menge gebrauchte SIMs gehandelt. Tritt der mal bei :-)

Ich finde in den Hauptartikeln auch nichts mehr, aber ein Zitat aus der damaligen Promoaktion:
"Normally, the first month island maintenance is included as part of the island set-up fee and is considered to be billed in advance. As we are not collecting a set-up fee, we still have to collect the island maintenance fee, plus any applicable VAT for the next 30 days usage of the island and the resources it consumes to run it at time of delivery."
Ich hab bisher auch immer nur die Setup Fee bezahlt und einen Monat danach die erste Miete.
-
Die Auskunft von Maddy ist falsch. Beim Neukauf einer SIM von LL ist in der SetUp Fee die erste Monatsmiete enthalten. Die einzige Ausnahme, die es einmal gab, war bei einer Promoaktion. Damals hatte LL keine SetUp Fee verlangt, im Gegenzug wurde aber die erste Monatsmiete kassiert.
-
The high amount of money pushes me in the direction of thinking that maybe you landed on the Beta Grid (Aditi) instead the Main Grid (Agni) - LL gives money for free for everyone there. On the login screen make sure that you are actually login to the Main Grid.
