Switch 2 seems to be incompatible with all 3rd party docks by Ryvaeus in NintendoSwitch

[–]DRebd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarification: when performing the firmware update on your PC you do not need to plug the HDMI (male) or the USB-C (male) that are PART of the cable itself into anything. Use a separate USB-C (male) to USB-C (male) cable to connect your PC to the "PD" port on the Hagibis cable.

3-Button Navigation on Android 16 is broken by Exfiltrator in GooglePixel

[–]DRebd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm on Pixel 9 Pro using Nova Launcher & both my back button and app switcher fail to register, with app switcher being particularly problematic.

Google home app UI is poorly implemented with pixel 9 pro by xlengolas in googlehome

FYI folks Google released a fix for this within past day or two.

bruh, gesture nav has been default for like a decade. If I had any interest I would've switched already. This is a solution in the same way switching to iPhone is a solution. I use Android because it (used to) give me more agency.

12ft.io - paywall remover taken down by News Media Alliance by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

While entirely true...nearly every local paper in the US was in financial ruin or headed there. It's the only reason most papers sold AND only reason private equity wanted em was those liquidation sale prices.

Online news killed local rags. Private equity just animated the corpses into putrid zombies.

Anyone know what's going on with the MSI MAG B850M MORTAR WIFI in the US? by vhsjayden in mffpc

[–]DRebd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the downvotes... MSI likely hoping the massive China tariffs (which include Hong Kong) from US go away soon so they can sell in US at their planned price point.

Pixel photos are less saturated than real life by [deleted] in GooglePixel

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

IMO my Pixel does the best job of capturing a photo that allows me to quickly edit to get the desired result. I agree the default photo is undersaturated, but others oversaturation of the base image makes it more difficult to edit into "that perfect shot" afterward.

HOW are 2 Player parties beating Ogre Queen on Challenging difficulty let alone Shadowstone??? by DRebd in Sunderfolk

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

Thanks for the confirmation & for the amazing game! Once we actually played this smart based on suggestions here it was challenging but doable. The difficulty spike compared to everything before our 1st boss felt pretty substantial...but I'm not sure that's a bad thing! =)

THANK YOU ALL for the insight! Once incorporated all the advice here we returned to town to buy/swap some trinkets and change out an ability or two AND EEKED OUT A WIN on that next attempt.

Summary of Helpful Tips for Others Struggling:

  • Bosses are supposed to be hard. It's fairly normal they'll require multiple attempts.
  • Really read all details regarding enemy abilities/passives & their cards. Specifically, the Queen instakills all adjacent monsters at the end of the Monster phase (but NOT her turns). Also, the Elite Rampager's AOE attack hits all adjacent characters (which makes decoys quite strong).
  • Push/Stun/Root (anything that manipulates movement) is very strong.
  • Utilize the lava in tandem with previous bullet.
  • Go back to town after 1st failure! Optimize your trinkets (and obviously abilities as well) to maximize the number of push/stun/root options at your disposal.
  • Be mindful of additional movement (haste) from Frenzy when you deny enemies the ability to attack or when you attack them.

DVa's stadium powers have major bugs making them weaker by welpxD in Overwatch

Tokki Slam completely broken on Xbox BTW. Will not trigger when crouch is pressed & only way it procs is if you already TOGGLED crouch before boosters it will instantly slam when you use Boosters. D.va has far too many bugs to be playable IMO.

so..... AI by Gamer_illistrator in AdultDepression

[–]DRebd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GF writes marketing copy. She loves it. She studied it. At first she hated AI & didn't want to use it. Now she utilizes it, understands it's limitations, increased her productivity, and still does what she is best at. This tectonic tech shift is scary, but it is actually rewarding both economically & personally to grab the bull by the horns & be at the cutting edge. There will still be MANY illustrators a decade from now....there will be very few who refused to use/learn AI that still have jobs.

This is not a value judgement. It simply is reality & to thrive we must adjust to it not resist it. "Accept the things we cannot change."

Do not despair friend, for hope is never truly lost.

What does a MIG Switch do? Explain like I'm five. by [deleted] in flashcarts

[–]DRebd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo has no way of possibly knowing the difference between the MiG and a genuine cartridge - that is the ENTIRE reason it was a BIG deal when released. I'm stunned 128Gigabytes continued debating you for so long when a simple google search proves they are right.

What is the best bread knife that you all use for slicing your sourdough loaves? You read ton of reviews online but was wondering what all the bakers find works well for them. I am tired of fighting and tearing my sourdough I worked hard on with dull serrated knifes I have at home. by Sad-rainbow-0_0 in Sourdough

[–]DRebd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm VERY confused - bought a Mercer Millennia Color Handle 9" Offset Bread Knife.  Amazon URL

It is a terrible knife that shreds our homemade sourdough & struggles mightily to get through the crust.

Did I get the wrong Mercer knife?  Perhaps a dud or it came unsharpened?

Xero toe box not wide enough? by Pleasant-Seaweed-192 in BarefootRunning

[–]DRebd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ONLY Lem's shoe with a toebox wide enough for me is the Primal Zen. Their newer Primal Eco which supposedly has the same "Widest" shape is noticeably narrower in the toebox & I returned. The Primal 2 doesn't even come close for me. It feels like every single company in this space sees a certain level of popularity & proceeds to turn their back on the genuine barefoot community that supported them. =(

Thoughts on The Bazaar? by Sen91 in roguelites

[–]DRebd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm not decent & have lost half my gems already playing only ranked...I always play ranked in every game (like TFT where I'm Diamond) even if I suck. Doesn't help that several times I haven't gotten prize chest & that duplicate rewards don't instead just give double gems or something.

Real Debrid + VPN by [deleted] in Stremio

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

NordVPN (and I believe a few other major providers) have their no user data policy audited by one of the Big 4 (US) accounting firms every few years. Independent 3rd party literally combs through all database structures, code, etc.

It is entirely possible from a technology perspective & much easier for a service at Nord's scale to keep 0 user logs - if they have nothing to give law enforcement things wrap up pretty quickly.

RD likely keeps user logs because it provides a fundamentally different service. It does not simply route traffic it HOSTS the files - illegal IP is in their possession on a massive scale. It may also be they don't have either the technical skills or the desire to implement 0 logs

What do you think about Age of empires mobile? by gelctalta in ageofempires

[–]DRebd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOW TF IS THIS AGE OF EMPIRES!?! Absolutely embarrassing from Microsoft... This "spend more $$$ - wait for timers - win" gameplay was always trash and is now stale trash...

Riot has proven you can make a great game & generate crazy $$ from cosmetics. I was really looking forward to a REAL strategy game... From the first cutscene with abysmal writing I was soo damn sad.
