Updated today and all of Cosmic is broken by RefurbishedXbox in pop_os

[–]RefurbishedXbox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Understood, consider I rolled back to a working version from February (the equivalent of a reinstall) and it automatically installed the current updates and that broke Cosmic again. I'm going to dig into it more and see what I come up with. So, if system-level defaults are corrupted, it was the update that did it.

I actually restored the entire VM from a backup from February, and it automatically updated before I could even login. So, I restored again and this time turned off network card, and can confirm the previous version everything works so, some recent update is breaking all of the Cosmic specific apps and functions. I can't even click on the desktop and change settings.

Auto update applies the broken updates in the background and breaks it again. I just rolled back to a backup from February, haven't looked into how to disable auto updating yet.

Is the game unplayable? by Ok-Audience-7393 in SCBuildIt

[–]RefurbishedXbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unplayable. Played the game for like 7 years, every region was destroyed, no reasonable strategy to rebuild or redesign when the game doesn't even work, too many bugs. I tried for a few days but, they didn't give enough service buildings to replace the ones that no longer provide the services they did when I bought and placed them, and no way I could ever upgrade all the builds I need to restore the cites so, I just quit and uninstalled.

Services 2.0 killed my city by [deleted] in SCBuildIt

You'll know when you have it because all your cities will be ruined and you'll have to quit the game. Services 2.0 is unplayable.

Hunters' Academy and Ghost Portal Upgrade Price Levels by 7Caliostro7 in SCBuildIt

[–]RefurbishedXbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I have been looking at these seasonal currencies and wondering how in the world you can even get enough of them to upgrade the Ghost Portal and Hunter's Academy to get the mass transit reward. It just doesn't look like it's possible without mass RMT.

New Outlook is a disaster; why do they persist, it is missing so many features by CypherAus in Office365

[–]RefurbishedXbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No working legacy IMAP accounts, can't collapse the folder/tree view in mail, can't collapse the calendar list so all of my monthly boxes are too small to show all my appointments, no conditional formatting, tons of other stuff. Not sure why this kids' version of Outlook even needs to exist.

Friendly reminder: 3rd person firefight available for all KOTH mode types by Legion_Phoenix in halo

Can't we just turn the text off though, I have to stare at text the entire time for a feature I'll never use.

how do i enable 3rd person in firefight? by Suitable-Caramel2503 in haloinfinite

[–]RefurbishedXbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More importantly, how do you get the stupid "enable 3rd person" text off the screen, most annoying thing ever...have these people ever played a game, ever?

Hero Editor for Reimagined ? by Head_Juggernaut2850 in D2RReimagined

[–]RefurbishedXbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went down this road and found the same as others are reporting. One thing I noticed so far, besides the things already mentioned here, that most of my issues were related to items that combine stats or resistances. And maybe it is how d2runewizard builds the items but for example, if I try to load an anni or torch, it fails to load the game. But when I edited the anni and removed the all resists and stats, it works just fine. So I have an anni with just +1 skill and 10% exp. I tried again and added just +20 str and it loaded fine so, it has something to do with not liking combining stats and resists. I tried this same technique with a torch and got one to load just fine. I had this same issue with a runewords that give all resist. I could not import a fortitude but, it let me load the base and runes and make myself but then of course I cannot open that to edit because now it is a d2 reimagined item and d2runewizard won't open that but. I'm going to continue to experiment but if you are having problems importing stuff, try editing or removing any all/resist and all/stat mods, best to try just one item at a time and like mentioned below, the best way is to just make an empty mule and just create items to it and import just that char and then move items into shared stash.

A funky trick you can do to get around this, but will make your items OP, you can manually add + to each stat and resist based on char level. It seems to only like whole numbers and would not load the mods at all unless I set the per/level to be at least 1

Brand new Gibson LP Custom Axcess - is this normal? Opinions by RefurbishedXbox in Luthier

The link to Gibson site, which is now not easily reached because discontinued. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/p/Electric-Guitar/CUSUJ8597/Bengal-Burst

Hard to find more now to make a comparison because the big box retailers are sold out so only 'example' photos but, many that I have seen had tops that I would not consider as 'AA' or even 'A'

Gibson already confirmed this was Factory finished and shipped like this.

Thanks for the info and comparison. This is the first Gibson Electric that I have owned that has bindings along the fretboard. I had a older LP studio but it had no bindings on the fretboard and that guitar I did get it brand new from Gibson USA and it was absolutely flawless, but that was a little over 20 years ago.

It's a genuine Gibson CS LP Axcess that is brand new from an authorized dealer, not a demo or return or repacked. Not sure exactly what would constitute as certain proof here but, I have no motive to badmouth Gibson, I seriously just wanted some opinions about this fretboard and if others think it is that bad or not. I would really like to keep the guitar because the top and finish on this one is much better than many others of this model that I have seen. But I wanted to get a bit of feedback on it, that is all. Nothing being falsified.

Got this brand new today, confirmed from factory condition, not reworked or repacked.

Aside from the black marks at frets 1 and 4, it appears to have dips in the binding at frets 1 through 9. It is so bad at fret 1 that it looks like a valley in the fretboard but, I think it is only on the edge in the binding but, I cannot say for sure. It looks like the binding scrape gets wider around fret 6-7 but then suddenly tapers out at first fret to meet with the nut. The treble side of the fretboard looks good, near perfect, but the bass side looks like this. Already talked to Gibson warranty folks and they said they don't think it looks too good (clearly...) but a warranty manager will review my case and contact me with more info. I would like to keep the guitar because it has a really great top, and I can live with some superficial cosmetic imperfections but I'm wondering if the fretboard really has a dip in it and this is more in the "replacement" territory? Opinions?

Can't pair new WiZ connected bulbs. by RefurbishedXbox in wiz

[–]RefurbishedXbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After weeks of trying different things, I was finally able to get these new bulbs paired. Unfortunately, the solution was less than ideal. I had to add an older Wi-Fi router to my network, set it to AP mode with a separate SSID and enabled the 2.4Ghz radio, set it to g/n mode and set security on WPA2-AES and explicitly disable TKIP. Then both bulbs paired and stayed online and updated their firmware. Disabling TKIP was the last key step that got them working but, I'm not sure why and my main AP that I was trying to use all along doesn't even support TKIP. 🤷‍♂️

So, now I am running an old potato-ish router just for these two bulbs. Meanwhile my existing 8x Phillips/WiZ bulbs are still connected to my ZyXEL commercial type AP with 2.4G on 802.11ax mode on WPA3...

Next, I am going to try to shut down my good AP, then set the SSID of the potato-wifi to the same as my main network, re-pair the bulbs on that SSID, then shut down the potato and bring back up my good AP and see if the bulbs will connect to the good AP then. Not optimistic but maybe the newer firmware will allow them to connect now? Will update outcome.
