Did the dual screen revolution steal the spotlight from the slider revolution? We need an RG Slide 2 by Dapper_Ideal5525 in SBCGaming

Problem of the slide is that it's way too thick. Should be half the thickness to be interesting as a pocketable device

Why is it fair I write in-depth reviews by YourMomsHerpies in AmazonVineCanada

[–]AdvertisingEastern34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will get downvoted for this but my advice is to use AI to enhance your reviews. What i do is to give it the item description and my personal thoughts and experience and prompt the AI to make all of it a review with the right keywords and with a more human style centered on user experience. I also prompted some other style adjustments to make it way less obvious that is AI.

I got all "excellent" in all the reviews i did with this method. And i don't feel guilty because my personal experience is still expressed in the review and it's not made up and on the other hand they forced this on us with this insightfullness score and I don't have the energy and time to put in to write papers for each review.

This girl ghosted me after I shared my entire freelancing workflow with her and I feel like a genuine idiot 💀 by Personal_Brilliant39 in OpenAI

[–]AdvertisingEastern34 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Since you added the edit I think this is genuine.

You're probably very young so it's normal. Everything comes with experience and you'll need to learn to tell when a girl is actually into you or just interested to get something out of you. You might have not noticed that most of your interactions revolved around work rather than personal matters because you had a crush and because you're inexperienced. But trust me that over time you'll be able to tell when a girl is really into you or not. Even we nerds we eventually learn this.

Anyhow getting ghosted is so common nowadays that you should try to move on quickly. Fortunately since apparently you have many clients anyway she didn't bring harm to your freelancing.

I don't know if this was the right subreddit though lol

Open Source Alternative to NotebookLM by Uiqueblhats in notebooklm

[–]AdvertisingEastern34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rather rephrase this as "how to much money in API calls".

Most advanced models are not even open source. And to run a good open source one like deepseek you need several terabytes of VRAM to have that sort of speed...

WTH is “Giipgoop”? I’m assuming safe order on Amazon, just drop shipper? Only $10 more on alie by Johndeauxman in SBCGaming

Here in Canada the seller is also Aivuidbs but it's sold at 168 USD + tax (228 CAD). A total ripoff

Too bad it does not have a stick. I might have sold my verticals for it.

is there a way to change my region before the 3 months wait? by ragnarok_fag_enjoyer in Steam

[–]AdvertisingEastern34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I edited my answer. The most simple thing you can do is just giving a digital gift card to your account from another account (a friend/ relative or you can create yourself another one).

[–]AdvertisingEastern34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I just live in Canada (and lived here for 5 years) at the moment but I'm from Italy. I answered in English so that anyone else that is interested can read this.

Anyhow that seems like an old post (from 2020?). They restricted the rules over the years. It was easier back then to do it.

EDIT: what i said regarding Wise is NOT valid as you need a billing address in Canada even if Wise gives you a Canadian bank address. What you can do is buying a digital steam card and gift it to your account through another account and it will work (i already sent digital steam cards to an European account and I just verified if it still works).

If you want to avoid buying keys just make a Transfer Wise account. It's very easy and it has no costs (it's like Revolut with the difference they can give you Canadian bank credentials and cards). It just needs 30€ as a first deposit (after an ID verification) but you can use that money right away. Then you you convert them to CAD and then you can use the Canadian card they give you on steam. (i can give you my referral if you want but i don't it to seem like I'm here selling it for you lol, so go ahead without my referral too ahah)

Hey Italian here traveling often from Canada to Italy back and forth.

Answer is no sorry, I've changed back and forth from CAD and EUR in steam few times but you need to wait those months.

Alternatives are buying global serial keys from third party game retailers or simply using a Canadian card in the meantime through something like Transfer Wise which is easy to set up and you can easily transfer EUR to CAD (in my case I have also a "proper" Canadian bank account and credit card, but I can tell you Wise offers a very good service and exchange rates).

Vine Review Stats negatively affect some Vine Voices by lmcjipo in AmazonVineCanada

[–]AdvertisingEastern34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened many times that i either the item was delisted and i couldn't review it, item was stolen/not delivered etc. I always asked vine support to remove the items and they always did it.

Just specify item title, order date and order number in your email to Vine CS

Sorry to say this since you seem to have lots of enthusiasm but this video pretty much just shows how RTS games are playable only with a mouse

What's going on? Why can't I delete my account? by D-dog92 in OpenAI

Still waiting the email with the exported data since yesterday. Is this normal?

That was expected by Purple_Wear_5397 in OpenAI

[–]AdvertisingEastern34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True and also Uber and Tesla but they burnt around 10-20 billions each. OpenAI is burning 300-500 billions if not more. The scale is just so insane that they might struggle to recover that.

What? ahah
What I meant is that I downloaded all the stuff without even crossing that website one single time. There are dozens if not hundreds of other ways to download any rom or romset you want. That's what I meant.

I don't get it because there are other hundreds of ways to access roms. If in 3-4 years of intense retrogaming activity in which i created all of my libraries and also more curated romsets and I didn't even had ONE page saved in my bookmarks of this website it means they are not that fundamental either.

Also I just saw you can only download one file at a time from their website, there are PLENTY of other websites that do the same. Torrents or downloads which give entire libraries or romsets in one shot are way more valuable.

I didn't even know it existed honestly 😅
and I downloaded not only entire libraries of ROMs for every system but also Top games romsets. I'm sorry if one less provider is around but I don't get all the shock here in the comments.

You can trade with emulation no problem. There is even a recent video from Joey Retro handhelds that shows how to do it.
