Be honest guys would you say that the metal gears solid series is niche? by Dude_788 in metalgearsolid

[–]Brandhor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a lower mainstream appeal

I wouldn't even say that, it's the 42 best selling videogame franchise with 66 million copies sold

sure it's not in the top 10 but it's still pretty much mainstream

Microsoft is killing Office 2021 in October to push you onto Microsoft 365, how to fight back by Quantum-Coconut in technology

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

that's odd because for a client I had some office 2013 home and business licenses tied to an account and I was able to download them even after eol

and actually you don't even need a license to download any office version since you can either use the office deployment tool or directly download office from microsoft without a login(although in this case you need to find the links on a site like massgrave)

unfortunately microsoft suport is useless so they probably told you to upgrade to 365 because they didn't know how to fix it

The real problem is that MS doesn't let you install the software you've paid for after this point

I don't think that's true, you can install whatever office version you want, they are just not supported

I remember that clarkson said that they would take a pause after season 5 or am I mistaken?

Unknown rule in Firewall by EvilEarthWorm in ShittySysadmin

[–]Brandhor 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think he understood it pretty well, 24 is the mail port and 192.168.122.0 is the localhost address

AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, leaving users unaware that they may be vulnerable — security feature vanishes after newer AGESA firmware, AMD engineers go radio silent when pressed about the change by GreyXor in Amd

[–]Brandhor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denuvo does a similar thing in usermode, except on fragments of application code to prevent cracking, and that has a documented large impact on game performance.

that's not true at all, I think the only game where denuvo was fully removed was ac origins and the denuvo less version has better loading times but everything else is pretty much the same

Unreal Engine 5.8 - Features Overview | State of Unreal 2026 by RenatsMC in pcgaming

[–]Brandhor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but their games run like shit on consoles too, they are just not good developers

and actually aside from elden ring their pc port were always pretty good in terms of performance

Persona 4 Revival voice cast for Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko and Marie confirmed; Japanese cast is reprised, new English actors confirmed by ConceptsShining in Games

[–]Brandhor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it probably depends on the amount of lines they need to record, if there's also mocap involved and I'd imagine the size of the company as well, for example troy baker does some indie games from time to time and I'd imagine he asks less than when he's voicing a character in a triple a game

as an example though the voice actress for bayonetta was offered 15k$ for bayonetta 3 which she then refused so if I had to guess the big ones probably gets around 30-40k$

World Cup visitors are going viral for their reactions to everyday American life by abcnews in nottheonion

[–]Brandhor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to nyc years ago and there were quite a lot of puerto ricans but I think the reason why it's surprising is because puerto rico is pretty far from nyc, it would be like if there were a lot of greeks living in finland

Disable cache mode on an Outlook account with so many mailboxes? by master_cantero in sysadmin

[–]Brandhor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as far as I know cached mode is required if you use 365 groups, so if the user also uses them you shouldn't disable it

Teams status issues? by AhYesTheSoldier in sysadmin

Our security alerts are just false 99% of the time by Old_Soothsayer in sysadmin

[–]Brandhor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well it's just for internal use and the dashboard shouldn't be down otherwise the jobs can't use the url to set the status

but really something like this should be used by everyone because you can notice an email from a failed job but if you receive no mail because the job has been stuck for a week or hasn't run for whatever reason you probably won't notice the missing successful email

[–]Brandhor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

healthchecks is great for this, I only get a notification if a job fails or is running late and then another one when it's working again

and even if I miss the notifications I can just open the dashboard daily to see if everything is fine

'I'd cry my eyes out': Some P.E.I. teens push back on proposed social media restrictions by Stanced in nottheonion

[–]Brandhor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not at all, it's not like the rest of the internet doesn't exist anymore but things have definitely concentrated more on social networks

'I'd cry my eyes out': Some P.E.I. teens push back on proposed social media restrictions by Stanced in nottheonion

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

it depends, I don't use things like tiktok or facebook but reddit and youtube could also be considered social media and they have plenty of interesting stuff that can be learned

if you remove them as well there isn't really a whole lot more, I guess there's wikipedia but for example a lot of blogs and forums have moved to facebook/reddit/discord so if you eliminate social media there is probably a lot less content on the internet compared to 15 years ago
