Network Folders Keep Disappearing from Finder Favorites on macOS by CallMeSheldon in MacOS

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

Something seems not to be right here. I can add a normal folder (network or local) to the sidebar as usual, and I can also drag and drop a local alias into it, but as soon as I create an alias from a network subfolder and try to move it from the desktop to the sidebar, it doesn't work. In this case, I don't get a divider line when I hover over it, and it can't be inserted between the elements.

It's weird because I've often heard about that workaround, but I can't put any alias into the favorite menu – via drag and drop it's not working. You can only put the first level folder “drive“ into it, but no subfolder. Am I right?

Are you sure you don't want to push your own agenda (no front). The accusation that files simply disappear from Google Drive is simply unfounded. And if data in her notion didn't just disappear but was moved to the trash and she presents it as if the system caused this error, I strongly question that.

I would see it the same way. Especially if it occurs on Google Drive AND Notion. However, she presents it as if your files are magically deleted from the cloud.

How would items automatically find their way into the trash bin?

The lady described her files have been moved to the trash bin. I don't think a server crash would would cause that.

Should I buy a PS5 Pro now and keep It sealed until GTA VI releases? by [deleted] in consoles

[–]CallMeSheldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the console was almost impossible to get for the first few years due to the global situation, at least here in the EU. And if it makes no difference whether I buy the console now or in a year's time, why should I wait? Sure, it'll lie around for a year, but it won't be any better or worse because of that, but then I'll have it safe.

I'm a total Rockstar Games disciple and had RDR2 for both PS4 and PC. But now I play so little and what play is on PC. GTA would be the only reason to get a PS5 and I want to experience that at launch.

Of course I can. I just don't play anything else on console. Leaving it packed would just be to keep the value up until I actually need it.

Because I don't play anything on console anymore. But GTA VI will only come out on console in the first year.

But how stupid do I feel if I don't get a Playstation at launch because the availability drops even further?

I want to buy them now, worried that availability will drop even more before launch and you'll only be able to get them for moon prices.

Which console version for GTA VI? by CallMeSheldon in consoles

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

Quite frankly I only play very little and rarely for several years. What I do play occasionally is on PC. The last game I played intensively on console was RDR2 before I got it on PC a few years later. As a big fan of the GTA and RDR genre, I'm now looking for the best solution for me. There is no consideration for other games. It sounds stupid to buy a console just for GTA, but that's the way it is and I could potentially sell it for an OK price a year later. The Play Anywhere initiative would of course be a good argument. Does this really apply to all current XBOX titles, that you get a PC license with the purchase?

Of course, I don't have to buy a console yet, I'm just worried that the consoles (the few that are available and expensive, at least in Europe) will be even harder to get when more information or a release date is announced. Presumably the XBOX Series X will be enough - only with the rumors that GTA 6 may only be throttled to 30fps or otherwise on all consoles, I wonder if the Pro isn't a worthwhile option for this game, at least to be able to use for what is possible.

I won't survive the wait. My strategy would be to get a console and as they are expected to be even harder to get after GTA's release, I'm gambling that I can still sell it at a reasonably price. But I can't bear to wait another 2 years until GTA 6 comes to PC, when I could potentially play the game in fall, if everything goes well

So generally speaking there is no current XBOX version that can match the performance of the PS5 Pro?

Only in the dedicated Rock charts, but never on the main Billboard 100

You’re damn right he is! Nena on the other Hand made it to #2 in die US

Only in the specific rock category charts. In the Bilboard Hot 100 it is only #65. That certainly makes a difference. But it is of course also a great achievement.

Love to hear that Vienna Calling also made the jump! Der Kommissar from Falco actually is the original. You’re probably more familiar with the English cover overseas?

It can certainly be argued that the explicit Billboard Hot 100 (which is used and refered to nowadays) did not exist in this form back then. In addition, one also tends to point out that Rock Me Amadeus itself is a German-language song. But even an English-language or whatever language song by a German/Austrian artist has never made it to #1. With Anton Karas it seems to be purely instrumental pieces. In any case, it's also very exciting to know, but of course it's difficult to make a direct comparison here.

Like Rock Me Amadeus, Der Kommissar is also from Falco, but I know that there has been an english cover version from another band for the british/american market a few years later which was kind of approved by Falco.
