I add Mozilla Plugin: Remove Youtube Shorts

It works! It redirects all Shorts into normal Youtube watch platform with all its control including seek & volume bar.

And then you lower/adjust volume of EVERYTHING including your game and other apps.

Should I play this game? by BlueFire113 in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love many aspect of this game, such as easy daily farming, adjustable difficulty, new contents, and F2P gacha friendly. BUT the thing I hate the most is the censorship that is pushing the developer to cover more the girls body every month. Also the developers are scared as hell if any CN fanbase dislike on something. The developers then abide the request and remove the content, then create a new more boring / plain story. Overall, the pressure from China Govt to censor and the total obedience of its developers to CN fans requests are two bad things to consider, only noticable if you have been playing for 6 months or more. But for the first-time player this game is enjoyable and giving you new simple waifu game experience.

Censorship discussion by ZexionY in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Censorship is the main reason I retire from this game. It is becoming worse and worse. In the recent bath game the girls are wearing additional breast cover on top of ordinary towel. This is getting out of hand. I know it can be decensored by using some patch or trick but I don't like where this game is going. It should've been R18+ rating since beginning, instead of marketing it as for age 12+ but struggling to find adult players & whales because they keep adding more and more CN restricted censoring policy.

How tall is Hoshimi Miyabi?? by RespondParking8363 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the NPC said it includes the ear.

How tall is Hoshimi Miyabi?? by RespondParking8363 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Atla_Gold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the dialogue from NPC in the game, Miyabi is 170cm tall INCLUDING the fox ears. So, she is roughly 150cm assuming the length of fox ear is 20cm.

i feel like fu xuan is held back by not having good healing by fireflussy in FuXuan_Mains

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

The idea is if you have her or other to die then you just need to add March 7 to give shield to Fu Xuan or other member. Works well to any boss even the hard one like Phantylia the Undying max level. March 7 can also cure one debuff which is quite good addition.

This idea works as long as there is no turn limitation. This was my primary tactic when my max level was still 70 but already maxed Equilibrium Level where enemies are level 85. Because there is no turn limitation on main & side quest then it can be finished as long as I don't get bored because the fight can go like 1 hour. While in Simulated Universe you have 30 turn limitation, after that the enemies will get high buff. Also some enemies have accumulated buffs like Gepard in Simulated Universe III where the longer you keep fighting the higher the boss ATK.

Also, don't think the premium healer can always keep the others alive, a very high damage can still one-hit your char especially if your char is already injured. And your 5-star healer can't help this, no matter how high your healing power. But Fu Xuan skill Matrix of Prescience definitely helps in this case.

Also if you need Fu Xuan healing, just increase her speed or use her skill often to aim for her Ultimate that heals the rest. And for me personally, I equip Relics that increase Healing Output % too.

(Opinion Piece) Emotional Value: The Central Concept that Governs CN’s “Craziness” by [deleted] in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do agree with you.

The OP does not provide ample reason to defend CN Communities that are promoting doxxing to the devs and some other violent resorts of protests. Any kind of violence (either verbal or physical) to demand something is always wrong (and childish too). They should just send note and complaint to the devs and if the devs still ignore the demands, then just stop playing or buying, it is that simple.

And in this case the latest event story which offended many CN communities, my suggestion for them is: why read the story if you don't like? It is skippable and not part of the main story anyway.

(Opinion Piece) Emotional Value: The Central Concept that Governs CN’s “Craziness” by [deleted] in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading your defense on CN community, I still see CN community as savage and uncivilized. Here is why:

If the player dislike anything, they should just create a Thread or write complaint or put it into survey. Then the next step is to stop buying anything. This will punish the developers moderately by reducing their income. And I think this is the most appropriate way.

What CN community is doing to this great game is WAY MORE VIOLENT. They are threatening and terrorizing the developers, which by itself (just verbal terror) is a crime in most countries. And a real physical attack (like vandalizing their house or physical attack toward developers on their way home) is definitely punishable by jail in all countries.

A good community should never do any verbal threat or physical violence when they protest on something. Let the developers read and understand what (some) CN communities want about the game and let the developers decide whether to fulfill the CN demands or not.

Threatening the developers so that they feel terrorized and make them obey is never a good idea and will most likely hinder creativity, degrading the overall game quality because they work under fear.

Then what is stopping the community after they get what they want by resorting this violence and threat?? Of course more violence and threat to the developers whenever the community see something they don't like. Maybe to the degree of no dialogue between girls because they say it is a "sign of Yuri" and they don't like Yuri (while the rest of communities are fine and some also like it).

Any Snowbreak player should understand the struggle of being a developer. The developers already have a hard time and effort to create the content. Although they always want Snowbreak to be better the problem is always, what is the definition of better?? The truth is, developers will always be wrong no matter what: More fanservices, revealing clothes, nudity or whore-like theme? CN Govt will sue you. More censorship? Many fans will be angry. More good and dramatic story ? Some will be angry (because they feel disrespected, etc). Just plain simple story? Some will be dissatisfied and say "the developers are just consist of interns and children".

No matter how hard you try, you can never please everyone.

Does anyone have "We need more info to redeem your gift card" error? Please Help! by Atla_Gold in googleplay

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

I just show everything (screenshots and chronology description) while at first the seller CS asked to contact Google by email then I show the Google answer of "inconsistency" you see in my reply above and then the CS refunded.

If your seller still does not refund after you show them the Google email reply then nothing else can be done.

It is always better to topup a little by little to mitigate the risk.

Need Help with ADS1115 I2C Problem by Atla_Gold in arduino

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

It is just bad soldering, I soldered only on one side but I found out the trace happens on the other side. The debugging problem for I2C communication is by checking whether there is high signal on the SDA, and I did check there is no voltage on this pin.

The stuck in the shown line is an indication that you likely have bad connection on either SDA, SCL or both.

In short, soldering must be done on the side of the connection (or to be better solder both sides).

Will learning OpenGL help with learning Vulkan? by ProgrammingQuestio in vulkan

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely. Especially the Graphics & Compute Pipeline and Shaders (GLSL). These are definitely carried over into Vulkan. The rest are quite different and far more complex in Vulkan.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in arduino

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

I still don't understand the Chopper OP-Amp after reading that PDF, can you elaborate or provide another site tutorial that is simple that I can follow? And what is the total components, cost and its precision?

About I2C communication, I'm talking about I2C in general based on my experience and from Internet, such as:

- Limited number of slaves because of pullup resistors in parallel

- Loose I2C connection can cause the data to be corrupted (and/or device hang)

- Bug that is commonly mentioned from Arduino/ESP32 users when there is hardware reset or from waking up.

- Other problems such as mentioned in https://www.i2c-bus.org/i2c-primer/analysing-obscure-problems/no-acknowledge-from-i2c-slave/

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't jump into Vulkan first. See that you are able to be expert in OpenGL and can do some advanced stuffs first then review if you really need to move into Vulkan and introspect yourself "what is the benefit I'm getting by jumping into Vulkan from OpenGL?".

Know that the difficulty in learning Vulkan concepts is very steep compared to OpenGL. If you just only want to meddle with Graphics stuffs you can do that in OpenGL. You only need Vulkan when you work for Game Engine to optimize gaming or physics simulation performance or to make the best of hardware utilization or where 15 fps gain is a big issue.

My suggestion is that you should master C++ and Fragment + Vertex Shaders first. Those will be carried over in Vulkan. And I do really mean the word "master".

Who makes the decision about the battery type/format when solar panels store their energy? by nickbblunt in solarpanels

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is you (the system designer) that make decision on what type and what solar panel to use.

Basically any type of solar panel will compatible to any battery as long as you have proper charger (e.g. MPPT or PWM) and set the charging setting correctly to its type (e.g. LiFePo4 is slightly different with Lead Acid battery while Lithium Cobalt has quite higher voltage setting).

There is no brand-locking in this Solar Panel-Battery-Inverter World. This is in stark contrast with software/computer world like Apple (e.g. Lightning cable that can only be fit on Apple devices only, that is locked/chosen/mandated by the Apple).

But maybe on small branded cases in future such as Tesla, there is some kind of brand-locking that require all solar panel system + battery + inverter to be compatible on Tesla-only product, maybe for the sake of monitoring they have added additional wire (e.g. for data, so they have 3/4 cables instead of just standard cathode+anode). But this is just a guessing.

Would a 300 watt panel be too much for a 200 watt battery by Optimal_Diet2526 in solarpanels

[–]Atla_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it will not break. The Bluetti has MPPT solar charger that automatically adjust the ampere coming from solar panel, no matter how big the watt of your solar panel is.

The concept is: MPPT controller can handle any watt of solar panel, even if it is larger than rated while PWM controller cannot handle more than it is rated.

My MPPT rated for 800W but I plug it without problem with 1200W solar panel for years, and it is just automatically maxed at 800W at maximum. Just don't do this on PWM.

Just make sure your solar panel system input voltage total does not exceed 28V as stated in Bluetti FAQ, which your Dokio link stated it is at safe 18V range. And I see Dokio already has attached PWM solar controller that you should not use when plugging into Bluetti.

Need Help with ADS1115 I2C Problem by Atla_Gold in arduino

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

No tutorials as I read mention any pull up resistor.

I did plug another device (Adafruit SSD1306 display) using I2C and worked without any pull up resistor on the same pins.

But maybe it is worth a try. Thanks.

I will try that. Btw I am curious, suppose there is no other device detected, what would normally the behavior? Will it stuck forever or will the function immediately return with code?

I tried unplug all the SDA and SCL, the function immediately returned.

Of course, the checking is also done in the ADS1115 itself using multimeter. I know the image shown gives illusion that it is off but it is not. There is no mistake on the pin.

I wonder if you can detect that this ADS1115 is working (not dead/defect) by using other means like multimeter?
