I had glasses at three months old[/QUOTE]
This brings up a question. I don't know if you're actually being serious but I have seen very young children with glasses before. How do they even figure out that the kids need glasses when they're too young to even communicate and how do they even test for it? I only got glasses in the third grade because I didn't even realize my vision was bad. It took my teacher noticing that I was having disproportionate trouble reading the blackboard and informing my parents she thought I had eyesight problems to get me in to an eye doctor.

Kids with poor eyesight will squint and blink a lot really obviously, I believe.

That's how it was for me. My parents thought me standing/sitting close to TV's/Monitors was an [sp]autistic tendency[/sp], when in reality I was blind as a bat.

My parent's noticed I would consistently misread characters, fixed after glasses. But case was too early, I had vision problem that could be fixed without glasses, and because such early glasses I am now permanently using them.
[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;52447118]Do I have superpowers?[/QUOTE]
Do not push your luck, yur superpower will fade as you age.
I've been sitting far too close to screens playing console games, CRT and LCD alike, and using computers all day, all in poor lighting conditions since I was a toddler, yet my vision is still perfectly fine. That's almost 23 years of abuse.
Do I have superpowers?
Edit: Kinda sounds like I'm bragging but that's not my intent, I'm [I]actually[/I] confused. :v:
Fucking PTZ camera.
Installed it last night and tested it before closing it up. (the dome is friction fit with a bead of silicone to make it watertight) Worked fine. Worked fine later that night. Worked fine this morning.
Get home around noon and move the camera. I can tilt up and down but panning doesn't work. Fuck.
Get on the roof. Remove the dome. Remove the camera. Take it inside to be bench tested.
Fucking works first try. :why:
I stopped caring about the uptimes on my servers so hard.
Because there's a new boy in town.

In case anyone's curious, the GPU is still securely attached to the wall, absolutely 0 problems.
I was born with a right eye that was nearsighted and a left eye that was farsighted and had astigmatism. Since I had both, everyone was none the wiser that I had bad vision. When I got my first eye exam at age 6, it turned out I had amblyopia. They tried the patch method to fix it, but since I had the astigmatism, I literally couldn't see anything, even watch cartoons. My eyesight in that eye was something like 20/200 or higher and glasses couldn't fix it. Right now, the astigmatism is almost entirely gone with my eyesight at 20/30 with glasses, but the amblyopia's still there in the sense that if I close my right eye, my brain will still try to combine the images in both eyes in a 90/10 fashion giving this weird blurred film grain, especially if I just stare straight on where I'll just see black/the inside of my eyelid.
Anyways, my prescription is -3.50 on my left and +1.75 on my right. It's super weird I and it's pretty impossible for me to drive without glasses or something.
I thing I've noticed is that I keep my left eye closed more than my right eye when I'm outside because my glasses let in more light to my left eye than my right eye.
Also buy glasses online. Even with my weird prescription I was able to get a pair for $30. I'm still wearing them a year later.

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;52444719]Let's be real, I [B]highly[/B] doubt genetics is the dominant reason why a ton of people have bad eyesight in a thread full of computer loving nerds.[/QUOTE]
I guarantee you that genetics will be the dominant reason. Cultural reasons might be second - nerdy kids wear glasses, so kids with glasses end up being nerds.
Anyway, I have a hard time believing that spending time in front of your computer will change the shape of your eye.
I associate those with glasses as those who are more intellectual and/or nerdy.
Those who wear glasses though are 👌

The harmful light can burn parts of your eye, causing blindness.

Glasses when right can be sexy, lets be honest. I got my girlfriend aviators a while back. It's kind of the hottest thing.

Welcome to the club, we're timebombs just waiting to go off.
Some quick googling says 7/10 Americans wear some sort of corrective lenses

Not true. I look like shiiiiiiiit in aviator. It has an opposite effect on me.

I'm serious, aviators don't work on everyone, it's important to recognise.

You gotta have a bit of a "serious" look to pull off aviators right.
I think Kiwi is correct that they can improve your look, but the hottest shit is when you can pull it off.

I don't, they honestly make me look worse. Makes me look like a 7 year old kid in her mums heels. It's just wrong. But when they work they [b]work[/b]

i have permanent resting bitch face and i'm a tall dude
so i pull off aviators very well
my sister copied me and bought girlier RB aviators, and unfortunately for her the bridge of her nose is so shallow that the nose pads on the aviators don't actually touch her nose
My new UPS came in. A pure sinewave UPS seems to weigh so much more. Must be beefier components. My simulated Sinewave UPS on my desk doesn't seem as hefty.
Not sure if I want to use the PSW one for my desk or for my server. The PSU I got for the server is platinum efficiency, a really nice one, so I assume PFC is a concern. Eventually I'll get another PSW UPS for my desk and keep my simulated for maybe consoles and stuff.

I swear the only time I consider a UPS is when the power goes out, but it goes out so infrequently that I never bother

Well I'm in florida and while the utility is quite good, we do have storms which can cause brownouts and I want to make sure my equipment is safer than nothing. $150-200 bucks for protection as well as uptime is basically cheap insurance for 5+ years of service. My Cyberpower UPS from 2011 is still completely healthy and has saved me.
However it has caused some issues due to how I setup the wiring. It was on the same box as my Window AC unit and would actually shut off itself and my desk with the AC turned on. Moving the UPS to a different outlet I guess gave it enough lead time to switch the relay.
But overall since I now work completely remote in video editing and support, making sure I'm not down is important.

i wonder why bring-your-own-battery UPSes aren't more common. All they really have are shitty Ni-Cd or deep cycle SLA batteries half the time so the batteries eventually wear out anyway and it's not like there's any complex battery maintenance going on.
you'd think some chinese manufacturer could save a lot of money on shipping by having a small unit with two big cables for some standard deep cycle battery terminals

Well atleast with my CyberPower ones you can replace the batteries, though they are likely only first party.

Warranty. People will blame the UPS instead of the cheapass batteries they put in it.
Been doing some server & datacenter switching for my personal servers as of late and Also redesigning my environment from scratch.
Also gave docker a try instead of going with a full-blown KVM or ESXi setup (Still got KVM as a fallback).
Holy shit docker is incredibly convenient.
Been re-doing my gitlab setup from scratch since I've accumulated 2 years worth of junk in that DB & like 100 random git repos.
I got a full stack set up and running in like 1 minute as opposed to 1 whole day. That is incredible. The concept of having the image immutable & mounting the config & Data paths as external volumes is also very convenient and easy to use.
I hope that since I'm jumping on the docker train fairly late, I won't have too many stability problems.

Given I can see about 3 inches in front of my face before everything looks like a bunch of bokeh balls of light, I'd say my time bomb hit pretty hard :v:
I've thought about corrective LASIK, but I feel a little emotionally attached to my frames. I'm lucky I don't get any eye strain from wearing them or from screens either.
Charged up the UPS. Turned it on.
0Watt load.

Did you guys know FreeNAS has a hypervisor built in now? I'm looking for a way to make my old PC into a VM host but at the same time utilize the 6 drives in there, which sadly VMWare doesn't want to let me do at all :(
my cousin tried to download more ram and asked if he could cryptomine on a raspberry pi
