jayandp,

Probably some online multiplayer ones

jayandp,

Buy franchise -> quickly eventually release sequel -> spend time making sequel as good as previous game -> quickly release another sequel -> repeat

jayandp,

Modern Disney doesn’t care. They’re releasing Deadpool 3 rated R next year, and Echo in January is TV-MA.

jayandp,

Location shooting is proving to actually be more cost effective in many circumstances as well. Kubrick knew his stuff.

Until it stops randomly and tears at a 90° angle from the direction you were going…

jayandp,

What’s the current reliable KDE Distro? I’ve been rolling with Kububtu for a while now, but Ubuntu’s Snap mandate has been getting annoying.

jayandp,

Not to mention Flatpaks.

jayandp,

Now that’s a deal.

jayandp,

Last I heard, Firefox is making carve outs for some of the APIs that Mv3 is supposed to deprecate.

jayandp,

As long as it’s not AAA

jayandp,

Not until they actually ship it.

jayandp,

Same. I was prepared to hold off on getting an OLED if I couldn’t grab an LE, but after 45 minutes of hell I finally managed to get my order in.

jayandp,

Amazingly, Valve actually fought off the scalpers. At least in the US. 6 hours later and everything seems to still be in stock, including the LE. It’s still a rough ride ordering though, with 502 errors constantly.

jayandp,

I can’t think of any hardware that Valve has abandoned. Sure they’ve stopped making plenty, but pretty much everything is still supported, and in many cases works even better because the software developed for them still exists and gets updated(SteamVR, Steam Input, Steam Link, etc). Closest you can get to abandonment were the Steam Machines, and even then they were just PCs and you could easily install another Linux Distro on them, or even Windows.

jayandp,

Valve employees have confirmed that the OLED display is incompatible with the LCD Deck’s Mobo. So you can’t upgrade just the screen.

jayandp,

Yeah, speculation is that it’s a limitation by the display supplier.

jayandp,

According to the guys who left, Management forced unrealistic targets on the Editor in Chief, then used him not meeting those targets as an excuse to fire him. Everybody else quit in response.

jayandp,

They apparently fired the EIC for dumb reasons, and everybody else left in solidarity.

jayandp,

I kinda like how the US OTA channel H&I airs an episode of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT six nights a week. 5 hours of Star Trek almost every night is pretty awesome. They just progress through each show in release order, until they finish all the seasons and loop back to start over again.

jayandp,

The “free” apps require a cable subscription, so they aren’t really free.

jayandp,

Seriously, I’m always confused by people complaining about NASA’s budget. It’s peanuts in comparison to the other stuff our Government wastes money on. Also doesn’t help that the government itself is responsible for a lot of the money wasting that happens at NASA. The Artemis program being the perfect example, which is basically just a glorified jobs program at this point, as mandated by the government, instead of actually being a smart way of building a rocket.

Article says they were paranoid about security issues.

jayandp,

“Tries” being present tense, implies that they are actively attempting to do so.

jayandp,

Seriously. This year for a similar amount per night, while I didn’t get a whole house to myself,

Just a two bed room, bathroom, desk, mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker to myself.

I got an actually good free breakfast every day, a pool, a gym, free room cleaning, free Internet, and there was like a mini food store next to the front-desk if I needed food in the middle of the night.

Sure there are crap hotels, but if you read reviews it’s not too hard to find decent ones. And there’s usually no surprise extra fees.

Pretty much the only issue I ran into was at one hotel, the claimed free breakfast was watered down coffee, a waffle maker, cereal, and frozen solid orange juice. Had to go out for breakfast every morning which was annoying.

The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications.

Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.

3rd party apps like PhonePe & Paytm have a better system.

How do you manage to maintain this OS?

jayandp,

This made me just realize that I turned off Notifications for the Amazon app at some point and never noticed. 😂

I’ve just been relying on their emails for getting updates on my orders.

jayandp,

Denuvo doesn’t prevent games working on Steam Deck, but depending on how it’s implemented it can cause other problems like preventing a game from launching if it hasn’t been able to connect online in a while, or weird performance issues. It varies from game to game.

jayandp,

Where can you do such a thing? Microsoft definitely isn’t doing it, at least in the US. Can’t speak on if the EU mandates such a thing by law.

jayandp,

They really want us to cancel? My family only barely decided to keep Netflix after they last raised prices, and now they’re doing it again.

Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths (www.theverge.com)

Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel electric skateboard, is recalling every one of them, including 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing vehicles in the US. Alongside the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the company now seeks to remedy the products after four known death cases — three without a helmet — between...

jayandp,

The oldest ones are not fixable and they advise junking them!

For $100 store credit. The nerve.

jayandp,

Dude, I’m at work. Put a NSFW on that thing.

jayandp,

Ad blockers don’t even modify websites usually. Many just block web requests to certain domains and addresses. You can’t force people to load stuff, that sets a dangerous precedent for protecting against malware. Glad this German court saw reason.

jayandp,

Yeah, could easily be “User with this ID already exists” if it wasn’t tagged as “age”.

jayandp,

I’m 65535 years old, and you can’t prove otherwise!

jayandp,

You can disable that feature, and some people do because they get tired of the constant downloads and shaders taking up space for games they haven’t even played yet.

jayandp,

C:UsersUsernameSaved Games is a thing. Not a lot of games use it though.

There’s also C:UsersUsernameDocumentsMy Games which seems more popular with some devs. Though some devs inexplicably use the base Documents folder, which is just obnoxious.

But yeah, a lot of devs still use AppData. I read a post from a dev once that explained the advantages and disadvantages to each Directory, though I can’t remember the specifics, there is at least logic to why saves get stored in so many odd locations.

jayandp,

Reddit Revanced says no!

Sync isn’t letting me for some reason. Edit option for my OP isn’t appearing.

EDIT: Jerboa worked. Weird.

jayandp,

Pretty much the only way to make Fandom wikis legible.
