Q: How do I build a dog house for Dogmeat?

When I dismiss Dogmeat in Fallout 4 I have to search for him if I send him to a settlement. I would love to give him a place to chill and wondered if a constructed dog house would enable me to find him quickly? However I do not see the ability to do that in the workshop, so is this possible and i...

@KevinvanderVelden This is already gross

In the U.S., you can usually get away with at least 5 mph over

which, for those of you playing at home, is 8 km/h

Though 130 km/h is quite a bit faster than the average US highway

@GodEmperorDune How does a joke that misses the refrance get 6 stars

This is why we can't have nice things, @GodEmperorDune

In unrelated news, I have way more money than I thought I did because my credit union declines my card if checking is 0 instead of transferring from savings automatically

Which is good news because they also charged for each automatic transfer

Q: Does Professor Goodfeels disappear sometimes?

I seem to have lost Professor Goodfeels from the co-op, but I don't think he got killed during a raid (and I haven't found any robo-corpse). I didn't send him off for maintenance using the terminal either. Is it possible he just went walkies, and might come back?

Q: How to add a separately downloaded Steam game to Steam library?

The game is a Steam game, DOTA 2. I just happen to have acquired it from another source. But in order to play online, I have to play DOTA 2 via Steam, right? So I installed Steam. Now, what should I do to import/integrate/whatever DOTA 2 into Steam? It's a free game and downloading the same thing...

@Lazers2.0 How/why would you acquire Dota 2 somewhere other then steam?

7:48 PM

@Unionhawk To be fair, I started doing this, but only because I didn't have enough fuel to make a jump. (I wouldn't have made it anyway, but @TimStone saved me.)

@RedRiderX Isn't DOTA 2 free?

I am getting really, really tired of hearing the phrase "It's as slow as dialup" because guess what it likely isn't.

Why isn't there a feature like "Hover to see the picture"

Q: When I write on a sign and place it, the sign is blank

I have Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.13.0. When I write on a sign and try to place it, it shows up as a blank sign. How can I make the writing show up?

minecraft-pocket-edition

8:24 PM

@AshleyNunn the thing about dialup is, it was slow, but at least it is very good latency-wise

no matter how faster 4G might be, it's still impossible to play real time multiplayer games over it, whereas dialup is very much a gameworthy connection

What value

Microsoft released a game in 2001 that managed to have 100 v 100 teams, in space, over dialup

@Unionhawk lol

user15026

@badp Oh, yeah, but if you go "I'm getting dialup speeds" and then I run a speed test and you are getting 5/1, that's not fialup speeds.

user15026

People just say "It's like dialup" every time they think they might be having a speed issue.

user15026

And the thing is, when you're getting our rural stuff, at best you're usually getting 4/1 (but usually 2/1). In some places we can offer 6/1 or 10/1 but that's rare. So I get it, those speeds aren't magical, but it's not dialup.

user15026

8:37 PM

For some reason, that particular bit of hyperbole just makes me crazy.

Plus you're allowed to use the phone at the same time as your Internet! That alone is better than dial up

user15026

Yeah, exactly. :P

@Unionhawk I remember those times...

@Unionhawk most people don't even use landline anyway

@AshleyNunn A few mbit can feel like dialup with the huge size of some modern websites. They used to be far smaller. :-)

8:48 PM

@Unionhawk There were a number of years growing up where it was extremely difficult for anyone to phone my house. Between my dad, my mom, and myself we were connected fairly constantly all day. The ISP even yelled at us for it.

@Chippies don't but they did

Also I bet some of @AshleyNunn's users have to

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk well, this is how much you can get a ticket for, not how much you will get a ticket for

and now I'm imagining how hard it would be to troubleshoot dial-up over the phone with no cell phones available...

user15026

@MadScientist I kinda understand that, in the sense that the internet now is not the internet of then, but still, you're not getting dialup speeds.

@AshleyNunn people saying that probably never experienced dialup speeds

user15026

8:51 PM

@Chippies Yeah, that too. :P

@KevinvanderVelden ah, I see

Technically 1 mph over is "can give ticket" but it's not even worth it

user15026

I had someone call today who just moved to a rural area after living in the city - she was like "why is it so much slower?" so I askedher what speeds she had, she said 25/10, and I was like "well now you are getting 4/1, so thats why."

Kevin van der Velden

Yup, still needs to be written down of course, otherwise you can't give a ticket

@AshleyNunn I fully agree that people tend to suck at describing their technical problems.

And speed cameras are a no go in Ohio

user15026

8:53 PM

@MadScientist Which is really my problem - if people aren't clear about what they're seeing, it makes my job harder. I do liek taking those people and going "lets run a speedtest" and then going "oh look those numbers match what you are paying for" and then they go "make it faster" and I go "if you pay us more, sure"

(because you can't know that the owner of the vehicle is the driver)

Kevin van der Velden

Here in the netherlands we have a simple thing for that: "Sucks to be you."

Don't let someone else drive if they'll break the law =p

That's stupid

Kevin van der Velden

Meh

ellooo

8:57 PM

The driver should be the only one financially responsible for excessive speed

(plus with cameras, communities were grabbing people doing 26 in a 25)

@Unionhawk In Belgium they actually also take a picture of the car from the front, so they can use that as proof of who was driving.

@Arperum I thought they only took the picture for the license plate

the pictures are too low resolution to see who's inside anyway

don't think it would be good enough quality to count as proof

@Chippies They also take it so that if people go "I wasn't driving", they can go "yes you were, here's a pic of you driving at that point at that place."

That's still stupid because why should I have to defend myself in court for speeding charges that blatantly aren't mine just because the car is mine

If you trust someone enough to give them your car...

9:01 PM

Even if I can point and say "this not me"

Kevin van der Velden

Yup

It's not like it's a random person in the car.

@Unionhawk Nah, if it's not you on the picture, they will go after the person who was actually driving. They even first send a letter with "who was driving your car at that date, that place, that hour?

Yeah, well my brother crashed my car into a house, and I didn't find out about that for a week

@Unionhawk Yea, but did you know he drove your car around?

9:03 PM

So, I don't have a choice but to trust him, even though I don't

@Arperum I did.

@Unionhawk well, no, you don't

I know it's not nice, but you don't have to give him your car

You could not let him drive your car.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to disallow it because it's not my name on the car

Kevin van der Velden

"Dude, last time you crashed it into a house" is a pretty damn valid reason to not let someone borrow something, anything

@Unionhawk so, does it even count as your car, legally then?

9:04 PM

No

@Unionhawk hands @Unionhawk a paintbrush and a bucket of paint

So it's not your car, so you're fine.

Either way, no speed cameras in Ohio, so take that Europeans

@Unionhawk Because Ohio hates easy income?

No, because using it as easy income is abusive

9:09 PM

@Unionhawk It also forces people to watch the bloody speed limit. That limit exist for a reason. If you keep things like error margins in mind when placing cameras it's acceptable. I've been fined for driving 51 in a 50 (after correction, so they account for your speedmeter being wrong, and their speedmeter being wrong)

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah, correction is like, 3 km here?

If there were no cameras or speedcontrol in belgium, it would probably result in a week with a hundred dead, and then immideately reinstated camera control.

Kevin van der Velden

Well, one of those things is happening in america

@KevinvanderVelden I think it was 7 at some point, or 10% whichever is less.

Kevin van der Velden

3 km/h correction for the camera things and no ticket below 4km/h over

9:12 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Belgium roads are bad (sure, noit czech republic bad, but still pretty damn bad) and Belgians drive ridiculously fast. 80% of the time I get passed when driving in Germany it's some other Belgian person flying by.

Kevin van der Velden

Over 100 km/h 3% correction, and at 130km/h tickets for 1km/h over

yo tex

@ardaozkal ey

1 km/h is an insanely small increment of speed

Kevin van der Velden

Yup, 130km/h is also rather fast

9:14 PM

That's like no margin of error. What, do people drive 125 to play it safe?

(I am also aware that 130 is middle of Texas speed)

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk no they don't =p

Remember: there's still 3% correction on the automated things

How do you maintain a zero margin of error

Kevin van der Velden

And police discretion on manual things

@KevinvanderVelden is there actually a speed limit of 130 km/h anywhere other than Germany?

Europe is weird

9:16 PM

@AshleyNunn "if you pay us more, sure" daaayum it must be really fun to say that

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies certain parts of the highway over here

(here being the netherlands)

@Unionhawk How is that any different. If you know you have a +3mph margin, then the speed limit is actually 53, and you do 50 to play it safe.

Average highway speed here is like 100km

speed limit on highway in Newfoundland is 100 km/h, and everyone goes 110-120

Kevin van der Velden

(It's also only at night, 7pm-6am or something))

9:17 PM

if you go 100, you're a "slowie"

@RonanForman nono, around here, you know you have roughly 10 miles per hour before a reasonable officer will pull you over, so you drive 70 in a 65

To play it safe.

@Unionhawk Either way, there is a number which you'll get fined for, so you drive under it.

But in the US they tell you a different number and make you do maths.

"plus like 5" isn't hard

@Unionhawk Not the point.

Well my point that Europe is different from the US and therefore weird has been proven so I bid you good day

exits victorious

9:20 PM

@Unionhawk Suuurrre.

everyone laughs at @Unionhawk

@Unionhawk That's so bloody slow.

Q: I Need Some Help With My Minecraft Map!

Okay, so me and my friend are building a Minecraft PvP map with 4 teams. I need to make it so that if there is 1 team left, they automatically win. I think /testfor will help, but I'm not sure. If you think you know what command I should do, please respond D:

The speed limit exists for a reason etc

Europe chooses to cope with it using automatic countermeasures, the United States chooses to reduce limits

The only way I prevent myself from going over 120km/h is by using cruise control.

@Chippies Slovenia, Austria, Czech republic, France all have a speed limit of 130km/h

9:24 PM

110 is roughly the actual speed on an interstate I think?

130 starts being a good speed. 140 is nice and easy. 160 starts to get some moving going, 170+ requires a very concentrated driver.

I like driving in Germany, I actually get to move at a proper speed.

@Arperum depends on your car and the quality of road

@Chippies True, 130 in czech was pretty concentrated driving in the middle of the night.

user15026

@ardaozkal I mean I say it really politely, more like "an increase in speeds will be an increase in your monthly cost"

I know in Latvia, my mom's tiny car, if she went 100 km/h, felt like it's gonna lift off

9:28 PM

@AshleyNunn I bet it is still fun to say :P

here in Newfoundland, in our new car, for the most part I can do 120 km/h stress free

mother's 1st gen Ka's steering wheel kinda feels like it goes somewhat... limp over 130

would not recommend

I personally never hit or grazed 160.

highest I've done was 150'ish and only to pass someone

My current car can do 200 without it feeling like I'm hitting the limit of the car, but that requires serious concentration.

9:32 PM

then again, I've only had a license since august... :P

And barely any traffic.

our roads are very curvy

Roads in the NL are very empty.

the straight roads aren't straight

@Chippies That doesn't help either.

@badp Yes, and have an annoying speed limit of 130.

9:33 PM

and at 130+ you can really feel the wind

@Arperum Isn't it 110 in Belgium?

@badp 120. And I think that's stupid slow.

But then again, I probably drive ridiculously fast.

@Arperum at least it's not 100 + whatever the officer thinks is acceptable to go over :P

@Arperum yeah. I mean I don't like thinking about what'd happen if they brought A4 speeds to 150 like it would theoretically possible

you know exactly how fast you're allowed to go

9:34 PM

@Chippies True.

but I guess chances of being caught by an officer are lower than being caught by a speed camera

so it evens out

150 km/h average + 5% + it's only an average = people doing 170 on a regular basis

I don't think I want to have to drive at 170 to stay on the fast lane

and staying on the second-to-fastest lane is super annoying

switching lanes is the worst thing you could do, too.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY ON THE LEFTMOST FREE LANE WHAT IS THAT NONSENSE

@Lazers2.0 can an online mod migrate this over to hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com please?

10:08 PM

@ardaozkal just flag it

Already did.

yeah there's not really much point to asking a mod in here unless you see a mod in here chatting already

and even then they've probably already seen the flag if they're here

We can vote migrate questions over SO to loads of related SEs (server fault, ask different etc.), but on Arqade we can only migrate to meta.arqade. I believe that this is controlled by either mods or SE employees. I think that allowing hardwarerecs.SE here will be a good idea, as it is actually related. (should I post this over meta?)

We used to be able to migrate to SU and Gamedev

oh, those would be really helpful too
