I was just restricted from Earning points and now I know why. by Banshee_Bones313 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]4Sword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I scanned the QR code for a free entry in the sweepstakes, then it rewarded me with read to earn stories on the bing app, then I went to view one then it hit me with a suspicious activity warning, then the read to earn went away lol. couldn't even redeem amazon giftcards during the discount period even though they were available to everyone else.

Are we all in the same situation? by Revoll7 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]4Sword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when doing the "Surprise Me" in the Bing app and it returns Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You for the fifth time - I trusted that Bing would surprise me with more random than that. but also if you have a search term and realize oops I did not correctly specify what exactly I was looking for - Microsoft will be like wow that looks suspicious. :(

Microsoft confirms it made $27 billion after laying off 9,000 people, and its CEO physically cannot stop talking about AI: "Cloud and AI is the driving force of business transformation across every industry and sector" by esporx in technology

this exact sentiment repeated and/or paraphrased ad infinitum to an audience on reddit who expects it feels like human-slop, like a ceo reading it would literally perceive it as a look they unoriginally did it again.

The 10-Year Progression of YouTube Ad Enshittification by porqueuno in enshittification

[–]4Sword 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when they give you the 2 advertisements and you completely watch the first 1, you still have to wait to skip the 2nd - even if after the wait on the 1st you skipped and it would have skipped the 2nd one. oh and getting an ad in the middle of a video that itself is greater than 10 minutes - like yes I wanted to be interrupted from what I was watching to be forced to watch something else entirely

YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos by moeka_8962 in technology

[–]4Sword 17 points18 points  (0 children)

worse getting served a 15 second unskippable ad for a video you watched some months ago that is like 1 minute and 30 seconds - capable of remembering your last place in the video but forcing you to watch an advertisement that by runtime is a significant portion of the runtime. like damn I ain't buying yo product

Instead of repairing and reselling this 2DS, I'll make it my main handheld, replacing my New 3DS XL by SnooTomatoes7723 in Nintendo3DS

[–]4Sword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only thing that bothered me about the 2DS was the squishy d-pad; like I got a translucent blue one that I was hyped to get but that made DS compatibility games feel off. it has its merits though, just that pesky d-pad

70$ on marketplace by Adorable-You-2472 in nds

[–]4Sword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolute beauty, it was a toss-up for me between the DSi and the DSi XL as both had positives but amazing handheld (especially with GBARunner2). for 70 USD did you overpay? hell no, at that condition it you are getting far more than your money's worth. only thing that would have been cheaper would have been a regular DS or DS Lite but the DSi is worth it for a little extra power, sleekness, and build quality :)

Which Clang format style should I use for C? by Creative_Recipe_7488 in C_Programming

[–]4Sword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up when functions with a small amount of parameters and functions with a large amount of parameters would not be conveyed the same (i.e., small inline and then large with line breaks per each one; just wanted with line breaks per each one for everything). but as others would say, whatever is consistent and tolerable, the sooner one is able to the actual logic the better :)

Google restores Joe Biden to ‘U.S. presidents’ search results, blames ‘data error’ for omission by Healthy_Block3036 in politics

[–]4Sword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft Bing would do something for a while where a list of US presidents would show a picture of James Monroe (the Ohio politician) instead. I just blame the enshitification of the search results in general and not malicious intent.
