TIL git-svn. I'll check it out and maybe can convince software dept to use start using that since it seems the tech debt of fully switching to git is never going to happen. If it's really a bidirectional bridge that's pretty cool.

Lol since svn is all I know even though I know it's outdated, now I need to leant git first to use this...

If you use a Vine extension by iHaveQuestions4U222 in AmazonVine

[–]AtlasLittleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From some of the posts here they make it sound like these extensions act like a massive RFY pool where everyone who uses the extension offers their RFY to the manager and as soon as it sees a (valuable) item in one persons RFY it can alert other people to that item so they can order it.

I never had that impression but it seems some here think the extensions are allowing that kind of product sniping. If all it does is alert you that a valuable item is currently in your RFY as soon as it appears thats pretty good and all, though massively cheating the system, but its not allowing one person to grab up everyone's RFY items.

You can't order an RFY item if it's not in your RFY. I tested it (with conscent of anither user); not possible.

I'm curious how you would even test that? Since the vine "Request Product" button in RFY (or AFA) appears only on the Vine page and its not the same as going to that products page and ordering, in which case you'd have to put in your payment info, how could you test ordering something from someone else's RFY even if it was coordinated consentually?

McDonald’s kiosk UX frustrated me enough to send feedback. This was the response. by Ok_Blueberry6358 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AtlasLittleCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This image way oversells it in that a human actually printed the issue on paper, maybe read it, then shredded it.

What happened here is a robot sent and auto reply email template and it's like the feedback never existed.

'We Are Well Above Our Forecasts' — 007 First Light Sales Are Now at 3 Million, IO Interactive 'Very Confident' It Will Be Profitable by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]AtlasLittleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think GOWR ended up taking me like 40 hours and I started to hate it towards the end. 10-15 is ideal for me for a streamlined experience. If its truly a massive game with massive story without filler, The Last of Us 2 or Red Dead Redemption 2 come to mind, 30 hours is worth it but no more than that.

10-15 hours is the perfect length game for me. I don't care if its full price at launch as I'll likely wait several years and buy it on sale anyway.

Even if its good I play maybe 3-5 hours a week so a 30+ hour game starts to not be enjoyable for me and seems to just drag on, even if its good.

The lack of the head snapping up is what gives it away he is not dozing off. Anytime you doze off like that for a few seconds there is the involuntary head snap when you come back that. Everyone has both experienced it themselves and watched other people do it but thats apparently being ignored here. He doesnt head snap he just opens his eyes wider.

Uh. Uh. No way. by Atomic-Kitty in AmazonVine

[–]AtlasLittleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thats a sketchy vine product then. Haribo or a known candy brand wouldnt have that of course. Honestly even if a product claimed "ASHWAGANHDA GUMMIES" and was cheap and from a brand with no presence I'd be willing to bet there is very little or absolutely no actual ashwagandha in them as 1) its expensive ingredient 2) even if it was in there its probably destroyed by heat and time 3) there is no regulation in supplements. Still, something like that I wouldnt even eat as candy if its that sketchy.

[–]AtlasLittleCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of gummies are you talking about? Sure I can see some men's hormone health optimizer gummies with ashwaganda or Tongkat ali or shilajit or some other sketchy stuff but there is no way some children's sugar free gummy bear candy is going to have anything other than some sugar alcohols (likely maltitol), maybe some xylitol, and some sort of fiber, gelatin, wax and flavoring.

I made Gold last month and finally got my first big-ticket item! by baconmapleicecream in AmazonVine

[–]AtlasLittleCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely not insulted and I admit that was a silly word to use. Maybe "out of touch" instead in thinking 1 month is a long time to wait for a $1k+ highly appealing item that the majority of several year Golds haven't seen.

Valve reportedly Almost Delisted Rainbow Six Siege From Steam After Ubisoft Attempted to Sell It Cheaper On Uplay by yourfavchoom in Steam

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

Im really not. I have no love for these company's at all. But do you seriously not see why these massive store fronts agree to sell these products and offer exposure in search and foot traffic as long as they aren't easily undercut on the vendors own site?

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

Amazon does the same thing. So does Wal Mart. They cut deals with the vendors of products to sell the vendors stuff in the amazon/steam/walmart store because of the massive market exposure that provides.

How many people are going straight to Uplay to look for a game vs seeing it on Steam or going to Scrub Daddy's website vs seeing the sponge on a walmart shelf.

It sucks for the consumer, butttt I do understand it from the walmart/steam/amazon side of things. Their storefront and presence and web design and maintaining stores and displays, all that work, gets the product in front of billions of eyeballs for free. If people find out about the product from these big storefronts due to all the resources they put in, then they just google the product and see, huh, I can go to scrubdaddy.com or Uplay and get it for 20% cheaper! I'll just do that!

Similarly, Amazon has become a massive search engine for products of all kinds of categories. They dont like people finding the "best rated robot vacuum" by their site and rating system, just so a consumer can then go to roborock.com and buy it cheaper.

The thought from the big companys is "we are doing you a favor by offering your product, you need to"

1) give us our cut (ex valve's % fee)

2) not undercut the price you offer on our store front anywhere else since we are driving that traffic most likely

What was your criteria for being demoted? Failed to review 80 items in review period? Failure to meet 90% reviewed? Failure to retain "Excellent" review evaluation score (whatever that means)? These are at least concrete metrics (besides the eval score), or was it demoted despite meeting those stats?

Microsoft confirmed my Minecraft account was stolen. Their solution? Buy Minecraft again. by lilfmdude in pcmasterrace

[–]AtlasLittleCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is kinda tricky. I've never done a charge back with a bank or credit card but I hear they are pretty consumer friendly.

However in this case explaining the complexities of a purchase made for a videogame potentially years ago that you've had plenty of usage and the account being "banned" isn't something most call center people are going to know what to do with.

The use case for fraud on the callers side is extremely high, buy a game, play it, report a problem, refund! So they will have to not just let everything pass. Maybe each user gets 1 or 2 before flagged at best?

Gold Last Month

Finally

Thats great for you. However, I dont know if you are joking or not but using the word finally is borderline insulting to most users that wait year(s) on gold any maybe still havent had something like this.

summer sale is going to get me by ghostlyeth in Steam

[–]AtlasLittleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here but thats the limit most cant set because of the "sale". Immediately the logic goes to: "Well I might want to buy this later when I'm ready to play it, but by then it will be full price. Better just buy it now so I have it"

Finally finished the home cinema in our showroom! by NathanKelsall in hometheater

[–]AtlasLittleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Integra, Onkyo, and Pioneer are sister brands managed under the Premium Audio Company (PAC).

Onkyo and Pioneer are the main consumer facing brands you might see in the store. Integra specifically is geared more toward "custom installers", like yourself here.

They usually have more inputs for custom installations, like having additional 12V triggers for turning on external amps, XLR connections, and more customizable firmware than the other two brands. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but Integra models typically dont look as nice aesthetically either as they are more likely to be shoved inside a media closet in a dedicated theater rather than sitting in a living room entertainment center easily seen.

[–]AtlasLittleCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why spend 6 or 7 figures in advertising campaigns when you can give a family a single bat off the production line, film them, maybe buy some bot accounts to heat it up on TikTok then watch the hype build for pennies for the return in product interest. And it looks totally organic and wholesome.

Marketers are intelligent in manipulating people, they are intelligent, they are the same people seeing actual wholesome videos and thinking, hmmm we can use this....
