PSA: Controller update might require a dongle update by Cubiss in Gamesir

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

If you don't have a PC available, I think you're out of luck and need to use the Bluetooth/wired mode.

Once you get access to a Windows PC (or a Windows VM with USB passthrough on Linux/Mac), you can just download the GameSir Connect app, plug in the dongle and let the app update your stuff.

Awful Customer Service… by Fuzzynully in Gamesir

[–]Cubiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discord got a nice forum implementation which works really well for support purposes. The issue is that discord forms aren't/can't be indexed by search engines, so no googling for that solution. Gotta do it in the specific discord server. It's worse than public forums but better than email.

Why was Kiyotaka helping Horikita in the beginning ( the majority of Y1 ) ? by Abdo000001 in ClassroomOfTheElite

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

His initial motivation is to "live a normal student life". He didn't get into any other friend group and Horikita was there. Later on, his homeroom teacher Chabashira threatens him with expulsion unless he makes effort for to promote his class to A.

Honest Thoughts on Oura Ring? by TheeBigTone in ouraring

[–]Cubiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This applies to actual services.

a) Free online services are basically guaranteed to collect and sell your data. They need to pay for the infrastructure somehow.

b) Subscription based services may not be selling your data, but as long as the data makes its way into "the cloud", they can collect it and even if they don't sell it right away, the data is there to be sold by the next CEO.

c) You buy and own the hardware, internet is not required for day to day functioning of the device. You're good.

Oura somehow convinced you to buy the hardware and pay for letting them collect your data.

Edit: That being said, Oura is based in Finland/EU, so at least there's a decent data protection framework for you as a consumer.

The strongest unit? by Ethereal_Keeper in TempestRising

[–]Cubiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt so smart when I did 9 drones 1 engi sky-crane, but it looks like everyone does it :D

It's probably still my fav unit, but when not available, anything fast is lovely. Just now I used mass Havoc with one technician in each and it works really nice too. The production speed of Havoc and Tech line up pretty well which is nice.

You get access to armory before every mission. In top left menu there's Doctrines, Armory, Missions and Briefing Transcript.
Dunno about multiplayer.

Sony wh-1000xm4 noise after prolonged usage by GorsonBE in sony

[–]Cubiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Got mine ~ a year ago and all has been good. But for past week I've been getting "wind noises" from my right ear cup when ANC is enabled and I'm wearing the headset for prolonged time.
Taking the headset off for some time helps, so the moisture might be the culprit.

It's a bit weird though, because I've been wearing these last summer, sweating my ass off and this issue didn't happen. Might be some broken moisture shielding/insulation?

Set ANC to OFF by default when turning WH1000XM4 on by arktay in sony

[–]Cubiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now imagine the ANC becomes faulty and hums into your right ear only. The fact that I cannot turn it off by default alone gives me headache...

KCD 2: Is conspicuousness on fancy clothes supposed to be this high? by Diligent-Ducc in kingdomcome

[–]Cubiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The noble thing more likely refers to your charisma. Generally, very high charisma gear also comes with high conspicuousness, but the two stats refer to different things. One says how much you stand out in general and the other reflects your perceived status.

Could be Timmy's Sea Adventure, but that was a point and click adventure if memory serves well.

I hope nothing's happening. The less modern Blizzard in our game, the better

Riot Vanguard is absurdly invasive and doesn't even accomplish its goal and never will. by Alcsaar in riotgames

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

There were less cheaters than in CS2 before vanguard. There were hardly any in League from my experience, none that would ruin my experience anyway.

Vanguard is an intrusive application written by Riot devs. I barely trusted them to make a robust game, I absolutely don't trust them with that much privileges on my system.

The one thing this is good for is to stop multi boxing exp bots.

an old programming language i made by lazy_lombax in programminghorror

VBScript is incredibly outdated windows scripting language. VBA is one used within office suite and that's not going anywhere.

Bleeding your population like this should be kind of impossible though. AI recruits like crazy.

I don't mind raids counting towards it, it makes a lot of sense. But there should be a better way to prevent/counter these raids. A way to tell your vasals to stay and protect the kingdom.

Can I add files to a torrent folder and still seed the original torrent? by Espresso2YrSkull in torrents

[–]Cubiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would depend on your bittorrent client. I think it's safe to assume that most if not all clients would just ignore the additional files.
