i know! i've never in my 5ish years as an accounting professional seen a company so hell-bent on not paying its suppliers and ruining decades long relationships. it's so bizarre to me why we can't pay like idk 100 bucks for an ariba license.
Sadly it's really common.
We've only once in 12 years had an issue of flat out not being paid and it was largely because we gave up, we were spending more trying to be paid than it was worth. The rest is usually delay after delay.
"Please fax the invoice" (it's 2025 we shouldn't need to do this)
"Oh it got stuck together with another one (see above)
"We hold payments to accrue interest"
"Our payment terms are Net X (our MSA documents say Net Y)"
"The invoice didn't have x on it" (it did)
"Our person that handles payments is out of the office for a month"
"We need x to sign the proposal (for work we already did) before we can pay it out"
Usually the people we actually report to and work with end up spending a lot more time than they should have to tracking down payment on our behalf. This becomes a delicate balance because we don't want to be too annoying about it but we literally can't pay our bills if people don't pay theirs and we'll have 5 outstanding invoices that are 30-90 days late. |

dude this company won't pay their damn bills its so crazy :/ it is a crazy thing, my company does this too, we push hard for 120+ day terms but then fail to even pay within those terms.
They want to do this to allow them to have more money in the bank making interest, so our suppliers pay 120 (our PCA vendor lets us take them over a barrel and gives us 180 terms) but our customers are 30 or less. it is so hypocritical really feels dumb.
We have lost multiple suppliers because we can seem to pay them in a timely manner, then we have to scramble to find another solution for what is a single source.
100% company has it's money so far up it's *** it can seem to reach it anymore.
Getting paid is one of the hardest things to deal with as a small business. We've been straight up told by some people they pay late to allow interest to accrue as long as possible. Others have payment folks that just don't care or are lazy.
It's extremely frustrating. i know! i've never in my 5ish years as an accounting professional seen a company so hell-bent on not paying its suppliers and ruining decades long relationships. it's so bizarre to me why we can't pay like idk 100 bucks for an ariba license. |

Was thinking of ordering food today, the prices talked me out of it. Can't believe how high just basic meals have become. $25 for a burger before tax and a million fees. Talking about $35 to $40 for one person. Feels like the only places that haven't jacked up prices are the pizza chains. Just don't count the pepperoni slices on the pepperoni pizza.
Stores are just increasing their prices monthly - I'm praying it gets better, but honestly, it's getting worse And it will continue to get worse. But mentioning why is probably too political. |

It's utterly insane - NYC just continues to pile on fees on these apps
Worse - Stores are just increasing their prices monthly - I'm praying it gets better, but honestly, it's getting worse - delivery people begging me for 5-star reviews, constantly forgetting things...
Other day I got Mcdonalds before they had a bogo and a free fries if your orders over 15 dollars. forgot the fries... when I complained they said no problem - we will refund you for the fries... got a message saying zero dollars was trasfers to my uber credit.. i got jipped and an uber 1 member.. crazy

How close is what you want to "//gs export sets"? (it creates files in gearswap/export folder I think)
https://docs.windower.net/addons/gearswap/
I think this is a bit orthogonal to what you're asking for but it could be helpful:
FWIW closetCleaner can find typos with gear names (as it cross checks resources) and reports everything in any inventory not in a gearswap sets (and anything your gearswap sets not in any inventory). 2 disclaimers with this:
1. back up your macros (locally or to server) before running it, it almost always zonks one of mine, i have no idea why :(
2. depending on how your gearswap is constructed it might barf, I always wanted to revisit this, the known restrictions are in the thread below (I did fix some of them in the initial post though)
Its built in already: "//gs cc"
https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/49796/introducing-closetcleaner-new-addon
(I can attempt updates to it if people give me feedback) |

That is something that would need to be built into the website I believe
Would be very useful for sharing and reviewing sets
Which also why I want it to show the {} data while using the visual

i think the sets here use the id # and then generate the macro and gearswap code with the item name, just need to reverse the process?

this sounds cool.
what if you could gs export and create an itemset in ffxiah format too?

This is a bit more complicated than what I was looking for
While I really like this idea this would be for building as well as reviewing
Just looking for something that would let me quickly review someone's current setup per say
Like if I wanted to help a newer player and rather than asking them a million questions I can look with them and be like this is where you need improvement we can go get this for you for x set

I'm pretty sure it is GPU related though, and I don't think it's the RAM on the GPU either. It's irregular power draw or something I think. Might replace PC with an AMD mini pc and put the 3090 on an Occulink dock and use it for AI that way. This way main PC can't crash if the display is out of the igpu

What Lili said is correct. The supersampling setting lowers the background resolution proportionally, so a supersampling of 0.5 would do exactly what you're requesting by setting the background resolution to 1280x720.
Lowering the background resolution will reduce stress on the GPU substantially, and your menus/scaling will remain crisp. Obviously textures ingame will look worse.

Memtest has 0 errors after 4 hours of testing.
4 hours of memtest is far from enough to rule out faulty ram. I would either let it run for up to 24 hours or remove one stick at a time and see what happens. The latter is usually the more sane test as you probably don't want your computer inaccessible for a long period of time |

Ok I will try this later.
I want the window res/size to be 2560x1440 but only want to render 1280x720 so it is less pixels (hopefully stressing the GPU less).

By Lili on 2025-07-16 04:30:46 |
Basically I want to run at 720p BUT the window to be twice the size. Is this possible? I use Windower for multiple windowed instances. I need to run lower resolution but don't want the instances to be tiny.
Yes, set the resolution in the windower profile to what you want the final size of the window to be.
Then enable Supersampling.
Then close windower, go into the windower folder, open the settings.xml and change the supersampling setting from 2 to a decimal value, for example 0.5
This will make windower halve the vertical and horizontal resolution. So for example a window that is running at 1080x920 will still have that size, but the game resolution will be 540x460 (the UI will be untouched and will still be readable).
I have all my alts setup that way, I never pull up their window anyway. |

Running extreme stress tests doesn't crash the GPU. Literally just FFXI.

Quetzalcoatl.Xilkk said: »Martel did a big dump of block rate tests of various shields/ilvls a few yrs back that i like to hold onto, might give you a ballpark for where your block rate sits at a baseline
https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/46016/first-and-final-line-of-defense-v20/96/#3538417
Unfortunately no adapa on that list but size 3 with +20 block and 590 skill(unless 478 was with the +skill from adapa) you're probably sitting around 40~% block rate on 139ish targets before reprisal kicks in 58~% when reprisal is active
nope 478 is w/ the Adapa shield skill, but it should go up to 549 when Reprisal procs.
but.. where does the +20 block rate go?
edit: thank you for sharing Martel's testing. scarier than I thought.. on the level 139 mob it dropped the block rate on beautific shield +1 from base 55% down to 25% and that should include the +5 block rate from the shield... so the combat skill vs shield skill penalty on block rate 30%?
that's really high reduction
but it means It's not quite as big an overkill as I worried about. This is 1 AM, I woke up and can't sleep napkin math, but...
With 478 skill(shield included), I have BST using Adapa(Block+20) vs 139 mobs at 15.6% Block rate w/out reprisal proc, and 35.6% with Reprisal up.
It may have been implied already, but I'd like to specify. The issue with block+ is that it doesn't benefit from reprisal. It's added at the end, so it doesn't count towards the base that reprisal's modifier multiplies. Which sucks. And as mentioned, it doesn't build from the floor like Inquartata. It adds to your current block rate, prefloor. So yeah, it can make no visible change depending on how far below the floor you are. In the non-reprisal value above, the pre-block+ value was basically -5%. the Block+20 pulled it out from under the floor and brought it to 15%.
If you wanna try on 130 Limbus mobs again, I have that at 28.5%/55.9% normal/reprisal up.
Now, let's see if I can get back to sleep. |

About self SCing with trusts. I don't think there is any shame in going /DNC with fencer. You still get a sc bonus DMG+ trait, and it allows you to use a different trust to cap delay.
I tried it for a bit and I didn't hate it.
Makes up for losing the straight damage boost from /DRG just a little bit. I know it sounds *** backwards though since you usually use it for dual wield. But I do think it is viable if it also allows you to cap delay with fencer.
Ideally we want /DRG, /WAR, and /DRK for more damage. But soloing with trusts is already far from optimal. You need to compromise with it sometimes.
Usually I'm using Sylvie, Qultada, Monb, Koru, and Ulmia. I'd hate to drop one of those just for a DNC trust honestly.
/SAM with Ambu Scythe was kinda fun. I had no issues doing Entropy to Spiral Hell for Darkness. MB Corrosive Ooze for like 32k on top of it. Also saves me the trouble of pulling more bats
Regarding Diamond Aspis, I ran into something Interesting.
-I start fighting Lotus Bats.
-Ooze links a couple. The target I'm fighting alternates between claimed, and unclaimed based on the pet fighting a separate monster.
Seems like a targets claim status will screw with your shield's skill chain duration time. Just FYI
Oh so target needs to stay claimed for the shield to work?
That's interesting |

Yeah I would love to pay attention and try to spot what's going wrong, but it's just too much effort to check everything. My top guess is along the lines of what SE reported as the original bug, when the ITG mob is idle, it checks ITG, but then on pull/aggro the newly invented dynamic level adjustment takes place, the bug occurs and the mob loses its ITG status, and thus loses its ability to drop the ???. This is the top thing I'd want to pay attention to, I'd predict if the mob continues to check ITG just before its death, then you might get a ???. If its no longer checking ITG then you won't get a ???.
