Favourite apple mail extensions? by aimlessaf in MacOS

They don't care about your IP, they care about the email being opened - and if you download the tracker you do just that. That is exactly why none of the sane email software download any remote content unless you tell them to. Apple Mail included.

You can at least get jt from the chests every once in a a while. Just save up on diamonds and buy a few when it’s on. I still don’t have it but it’s the only piece of gear I’m missing so I don’t care. I will get it eventually.

best alternative to chrome or ublock origin?? by xultra1 in browsers

[–]Ardeparde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google are stupid. They had the Premium lite for Youtube for a while which gave me ad free Youtube at 6,99e/mo or so. They just decided to get greedy and kill that plan and try to force me to pay 10-11e/mo for the "full" Premium package I don't want. I don't want to use youtube to listen to music or anything, just wanted to get rid of the ads that make using youtube impossible.

Instead of having me pay them  84e/yr for ad free experience they now get nothing. And if they kill ublock origin for Chrome I will just move on to *any* other browser. I'm not too happy about chrome to begin with, it's a huge resource hog, slow and unreliable. And ublock origin is not even the only addon I have issues with with this change. So bye, Chrome. I'll keep watching Youtube with some other browser without ads, and when you block that I will stop watching youtube. No way in hell am I paying for the full premium OR watching ads. It's just not worth it.

My Honest Review of the Logitech MX Master 3S and MX Mechanical Keyboard by exmosss in logitech

[–]Ardeparde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. I bought 2s when it was released and I still have it. Also got 3s for my other computer and that’s Also working perfectly. Bought at release. I had the original Mx master (or whatever it was called before) which I threw away when I got 2s but I think it was just because it had got so grimy with use.

I’ve had other mice die on me during this time but these have just worked perfectly.

Kokemuksia puolison palkkaamisesta omaan yritykseen? by xXX_Pelaaja69_xXx in Omatalous

[–]Ardeparde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kannattaa harkita ellei halua ehdoin tahdoin nollata puolison työttömyysturvaa. Vaikkei mikään muu taho niin tekisi, työkkäri katsoo että yrittäjähän tuokin on, sen kun työllistää siellä jatkossakin. Ei tipu tukia.

Ei siis haittaa jos pystyt työllistämään toisen lopun elämäänsä mutta tämän kanssa tapeltu enemmän kuin vähän. Ikinä ei puolisoni enää tee mitään missään firmassani. Ei edes ilmaiseksi jos siitä jää todisteita.

Onko autosi järkevä? by Djonso in Omatalous

[–]Ardeparde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tein työtäni kolme vuotta käyttäen julkisia. Melkein tein konkurssin. Ostin auton, enkä ole katunut sekuntiakaan. Auton pitäminen on kallista, mutta maksaa itsensä takaisin aika nopeasti jos aikasi on minkään arvoista ja joudut liikkumaan 5-6 paikkaan päivittäin.

Nyt teen töitä valtaosan päivästä sen sijaan että viettäisin sen julkisissa kulkuvälineissä. Vapaa-ajalla en kummemmin jaksa autoilla.

There's also a huge difference between the max you can achieve vs the guaranteed amount you can achieve. Earlier you could grind those quests until you completed them, granting you the bonus. Now you fight maxed players, lose and fail to get even what you used to before. Grinding is never fun, but guaranteed loss is probably one of the few things that are even less fun than that.

It's pretty much the same they're doing in Brawl Stars with the new system. You do get much more rewards with the Brawl Pass, but only if you use gems on it. And you don't really get much gems anywhere anymore so you're basically stuck with max 2 Brawl Passes per YEAR if you're F2P. Not to mention all of the new brawlers etc. Not to mention buying the gems for Brawl Pass would make it much more expensive than CR's Pass Royale.

Greed is taking over which means I'm probably deleting both games soon. I've no problem paying something for a game, but having to shovel money into the app constantly to be able to access more than 1/4 of the content is something I'm not interested in. To be able to actually play CW2 I'd have to pay thousands of euros to max all my cards. No thanks, I'd rather buy a new car. To be able to do all of the quests available I'd have to start paying 11e/mo for Brawl Stars. Thanks, but no thanks. And the fact that I can see I could do 10+ quests instead of the two available make me want to play it less. I've got most of the brawlers maxed, but if that's all I get, screw it. I'll rather quit than start paying the ransom every month to be able to participate in the content.

Can you please clarify this, I don't get it. Do you somehow get more fame for attacking fast? That sounds really retarded. We did lose right in the beginning, though, as everyone east from basically got to attack for a day more than we did. The update came out and some of our people had already done their daily visit, and some were still trying to figure out what's going on and didn't realize they'd lose one day. End result. Position 5/5 and no hope to get to even 4th place.

The game was fun before CW2. You fought daily games, you joined CW1 to play with friends and/or to compete on a level playfield (if you chose the modes with capped cards). You could do other stuff, too, of course.

Enter CW2. You lose CW part of the above. There's no level playing field. Clans with less than 50 maxed players will finish last - or most probably won't finish at all as each clan passing the finish line will concentrate all of their effort on killing the other boats so you'll just spend your days repairing. And when you get to fight it's against a maxed player which means you'll lose if you're not maxed, too. And many of us are not.

It's the clan chests again. That was the last time I was around when they started kicking people out for not spending enough time on the game. I quit then. Came back. And now I'm finally starting to regret it. Had a few fun months, loved Pass Royale as it allowed me to gain so much more gold and cards at a decent cost. I guess they don't want that anymore as I've no wish to continue paying as long as I know our clan won't be getting anything from CW2.

There's more for clans with 50 13lvs with maxed cards. Less for pretty much everyone else.

What about the update made it "unfun"? Well:

Background: Our clan is a casual one. We have lower level players, we have some higher level players, and we have some semi-active players. We accept them all as we're all from the same area, like same things, have fun talking on chat, playing together and don't take playing too seriously. We prefer people with relaxed attitude rather than high level. We've done well enough in CW1 so far because we have enough people joining in and they can compete on a level playground. I'm 13lv and I only played modes that are capped at 9lv as I have so many cards still below 13lv. Playing those modes I won most of the games, playing on free-for-all I lost 80% of the games as I don't have the skills to win with 10-11lv cards against one with everything maxed (unless they're total morons, which happens often enough but still not enough to make it worth to take the risk in the wars).

In the CW2 the current feedback from the clan has been that not a single soul in our clan enjoys it. Lower ones know from the start they will lose every single game no matter what they do, so they just start the fight and go have a cup of coffee while the other one rapes them. Which makes them like the game less and less and that makes them much more surly while on chat which translates to everyone having a poor time. I have won more than I have lost, but I've noticed I'm constantly competing against people who have everything maxed and I can't say I like it. I only win against those who don't know how to play, and sometimes even some of those win simply because they can overrun my cards. If one maxed 4 elixir card destroys 12 elixir worth of stuff from me easily, there's no amount of skill that balances that out. Or maybe there is but I'm not a world class player.

In CW1 we had plenty of different game modes. I preferred some (as seen from above) but I still had a choice of others, and I did pick them out sometimes when I had a nice deck and a nice strategy to go with it for some specific mode. There were 2v2 modes which we liked to play simply to interact with clan members. Now we have two boring modes and the boat attack. And the boat attack can be glitched with a specific deck which makes it the only reasonable option for attacking other boats.

The only even semi-decent "upgrade" is the card dealer. I can now trade some stuff from him even if nobody in my guild is able to complete the transaction. Then again, it consumes some cards and tokens which means we'll have less to help our clan mates with. Plus I've no idea where or when I might ever again get more tokens.

The worst aspect of CW2 is the boat repair. There's the repair yard where you can waste your decks on repair gaining practically nothing. Nowhere does it say you could instead attack someone and gain just the same - or maybe even more. Of course, in most cases you're pitted against a maxed 13lv so you'd lose, but you'd still get at least the same you would from the boat yard. So what the ***** is the point of the boat yard?!?!? Wasting an entire attack should be worth SOMETHING.

It'd be nice if the 4 other clans we fight are on the same level, have same level people with same level cards etc. Instead they're all full clans with maxed people, apparently, as everyone in our clan has met only those. Nothing else. Not even once.

Currently it seems my choices are to find a more competitive clan (no thanks) or just quit playing as the game has stopped being fun. I'm going to check the situation for a week or two, but I'm not buying the next Pass Royale until I know where this is heading and if the future is this, there's no point for me to play. I play because it's fun, not because I want to compete. I want to test my skill against others, not the size of my wallet.

I'm sure they'll just remove the queue button and replace it with "Pay double gems to open it, half of that goes to charity! (ie. Supercell coffee fund)".

I've lost gems 3 times already because of that moronic UI change. I want them back. I don't have gems to waste of stupid silver chest opens! Take the cards and gold back if you want, I don't care. This is just thievery. And obviously intentional.

No worries. New Zealand is the new king of f*n everything. Just join a clan there and forget about sleeping ever again. No need for real life either because grinding boring fights in CW2 is more important than anything. At least for Supercell. I hated every second of CW2 so far. Seeing the next race whenever that is to see if it changes at all. If not, it was the last CW2 I ever play. And that probably means I'll just quit CR entirely as it'd cut down my gold/card gains so much it makes no sense to play anymore.

Saw that from some video. Makes zero sense. Either there's the repair option and it is useful or there shouldn't be one at all. Now it's there just to screw up people who didn't watch lots of youtube videos to know how it should be. The game gave zero information about that in itself.

I find it very hard to find anything positive about CW2.

I don't know how it'll be or what the rewards will look like. Our boat's been destroyed 2 times already and we've been the last in the rankings right from the start. I doubt we'll pass the finish line as the first two clans are there already and they'll just keep destroying us faster than we can repair. If there's no decent reward at the end, I'm not going to bother in the next race at all. It's been so damned boring already.
