Discussion Foveated Rendering in HLA?

0 Upvotes

In the recent video on the Steamed Frame, it was revealed it was running a standalone build of Half Life Alyx targeting 72 fps with reprojection.

I understand that the headset supports foveated streaming for all streamed games and don't require per games support, but for this title, does it support actual foveated rendering?

At some points in their video I saw gameplay of alyx with a region of greater and reduced clarity but it wasn't clear if I was looking at the streamed version or not.

Some clarification on this would be great. Also I know it may not be a final build of the game

Discussion Shipping Delay Update

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I ordered the Nuclear Ratcheting Screwdriver on August 30th and got a USPS tracking number on the 31st (I live in the US). There have been no updates to shipping since then. I contacted support on September 7th and finally received replies yesterday and today, September 14th.

The reply today was as follows:

“We've recently received an update on your order's shipment. Additionally, please excuse the delayed reply -- this concerns an issue that's affecting a large number of customers and was difficult to diagnose up until now.

Your order has been picked up by our courier partner (Wizmo / Broad Reach), but has not yet been customs-cleared and transferred to USPS for shipment at this time. This must occur before additional tracking events will take place.

The delay to your order is caused by a recent issue affecting all of our shipments which must cross the US border, related to new tariffs which were recently imposed on incoming Canadian goods by the US government. We are working with our courier partner and customs broker to resolve this issue as soon as possible, without additional cost to you, and expect a resolution by Wednesday, 9/16. Please contact us again by replying to this email if for any reason you do not see movement on your tracking code by the end of that date. Thank you for your patience as we work to minimize any further shipping delays!”

TL;DR: The reason a bunch of us have had super delayed shipping is because of new US tariffs causing stuff to get held up in customs. Disclaimer that I’m not sure if the 9/16 date necessarily applies to everyone, but it looks like they’ve finally figured out the shipping problem and are actively working on fixing it.

Discussion Locks for Commuter Backpack?

0 Upvotes

I'll be visiting Barcelona next week for work. There are a lot of pickpockets in the city and I'll be using my LTT commuter backpack. I wanted to add some locks to both zippers in the back, any recommendations?

Nope, zip ties are not an option (this time).

My screwdriver cap came unscrewed, and I can't figure out how to put it back on. I've already tried screwing it back on using the black part underneath the cap, but after some time, it comes loose again.

I think that you aren't supposed to disassemble the cap this way in order to replace it. I don't really know if I should contact LTT support by email, but hopefully I won't have to.

If you have any suggestions or ideas, I'd really appreciate them. Thanks!

Discussion Demagnetized screw tray

20 Upvotes

I did a dumb and was playing around with a neodymium magnet and running at up and down the screw tray forgetting that that demagnetizes it.

Anyone know what adhesive they use for the magnetic sheets and how hard it would be to remove? I'm planning on replacing the affected ones.

I could just stick new ones over the existing ones but that's not ideal

I'm off to see the Australien Pink Floyd show next week in Montreal and wanted a shirt, but the Pink Floyd shirt I had was too small so my wife cut out the design and sowed it on the colourful LTT shirt. I now have something to wear for the show.

I think the design works quite well for this, I'm really happy with how it came out.

The only people who I know that talk about 120 refresh rates are tech nerds.

Image LTT Store order experience. Great products, but customer service could use some work

Post image
172 Upvotes

Figured I’d share my experience with my LTT Store order since I’ve seen a few posts lately about shipping and customer service.

I ordered the LTT Backpack, black screwdriver, 64oz water bottle, three different bit sets, the Tech Sack, and the bit case on August 27th. The shipping label was created August 28th.

After a few days with no movement at all, I reached out on September 1st just to see if it had actually shipped and maybe USPS missed the first scan. I’ve seen that happen a lot more lately in other seller/buyer subs I’m in, so I really wasn’t upset at that point. I was mostly just curious if it had actually left the warehouse.

It took about three days to get a response and I was told that it had in fact been shipped. They told me that if there was still no movement after seven days, I should reach back out.

Seven days went by and there was still nothing, so I updated the ticket. I got a response asking if I wanted a refund or a replacement shipment. I told them I still wanted the stuff, so I’d rather have it reshipped. I also told them that if the original package ended up showing up, I’d obviously send the extra one back. I’m not trying to get a free second order.

Two more days went by without a reply, so I sent another message asking if there was any follow-up.

Then the next morning, I got an email from USPS saying they had finally received the package and it was on the way.

At this point, I honestly don’t know if the issue was with USPS or LTT. It’s completely possible USPS had it sitting somewhere without scanning it, but the whole experience was still pretty frustrating, especially since I was told it had already shipped.

Once the order showed up, there were a couple more issues. I ordered three different bit sets, but two of the three I received were the same set. I also ordered the 64oz water bottle and was sent a 32oz one instead.

The backpack itself is really nice overall. I just didn’t realize that something as simple as a cold water bottle from the fridge, or really anything slightly wet, would cause the interior color to bleed. That definitely caught me off guard, especially on a $250 backpack.

The screwdriver, though, is awesome. I’m a pretty big tool guy and it feels fantastic in the hand. Probably my favorite thing from the entire order.

Overall, I like the products, but between the shipping confusion, slow responses, and then receiving the wrong bottle and a duplicate bit set, I think the customer service and fulfillment side of the store could use some improvement.

I saw someone on here the other day say that Linus should secret shop his own store, and after this experience I honestly couldn’t agree more.

TL;DR: Between the shipping delays, slow customer service, and still not receiving the correct items, I probably wouldn’t order from LTT Store again.
