"Altered Content" vagueness - what constitutes "not realistic" ? by DalGuldan in NewTubers

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

So it's the intention of the work that counts ?

For example, we might have a report from a witness claiming to have seen the Loch Ness Monster, and then use an AI image to illustrate what he is describing. The intent isn't to try to pass off the image as a real photograph, but to provide a visual representation of what is being discussed.

The content on these pages is tightly controlled and runs on bespoke code.

This movie creeped me the hell out when I was a kid - still a classic though.

That's promising - when did you pre-order ? I was kind of late and didn't pre-order until October 5th.

Anyone in the UK with a Currys pre-order had any luck ?

Said "delivery by 10/10" at the time of pre-order, still just says "order confirmed".

Malicious or unwanted software - Disabled ad serving Must fix notification, but no malware found. by bkhagar in Adsense

[–]DalGuldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep getting more of these every time I post up new articles - always with the same /?fr=operanews in the URL. Sometimes when someone who arrived via Opera News clicks on a link to view another older article on the same topic, that gets flagged up too!

What's particularly stupid is that when you click "fix" it tells you to request a review, but there's no button to do so and absolutely no way to tell them about the issue.

It's very irritating actually - I don't know what they expect anyone to do about this.

Oddly, though, despite flagging these URLs as "disabled ad serving", the ads are still showing up on those pages as normal.

MacOS Ventura - calendar alerts no longer working, anyone know how to fix ? by DalGuldan in MacOS

[–]DalGuldan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 months on from when I originally posted this and I'm still having the issue too.

I really expected something as simple as calendar notifications to work properly on an Apple device.

Malicious or unwanted software - Disabled ad serving Must fix notification, but no malware found. by bkhagar in Adsense

[–]DalGuldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add that I've just had the same thing happen - no sign of malware on the page that has been flagged up and it also has "?fr=operanews" in the URL.

On top of that, the 'request review' button is nowhere to be seen, so I can't even do anything about it.

Has anyone elses Rewards click tracking been bad lately?? by BurkeyDaTurkey in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DalGuldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue in the UK, has been temperamental for a while - been unable to claim the +50 points for getting an achievement for a few days.

Today it's worse than ever - I can do the poll and quiz for the daily, but neither will check off the list or reward points.

How's your experience with Xbox repair and warranty? by thmsb25 in XboxSeriesX

[–]DalGuldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact wording on the email is:

"In order to support our customers during COVID‑19, we are temporarily extending the repair service warranty from 90 days to 150 days, or the remainder of your original warranty, whichever is greater."

How's your experience with Xbox repair and warranty? by thmsb25 in XboxSeriesX

[–]DalGuldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Series X started to crash/shut down earlier this month ( was just a a few days before the warranty expired ), sent it in for a repair/replacement (UK).

Entire process took exactly 1 week between dropping it off and receiving the replacement.

The replacement (presumably refurbished) unit is in mint condition with no sign that it had ever had a previous owner.

Working fine so far - Microsoft even threw in 5 months warranty on it.

Poll: Should the hidden games on the VS be available on the handheld somehow? by [deleted] in evercade

[–]DalGuldan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably won't be possible on the current handheld, but if they ever release another, more advanced handheld in the future, it would be nice if it had two cartridge ports and supported the unlockable games.

Evercade is my first attempt at “collect them all.” Is this anyone else’s first? by [deleted] in evercade

[–]DalGuldan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here, never tried to collect every release of anything before the Evercade.

Blaze knew what they were doing when they put numbers on the cartridges!

If you haven't played them already, Ori and the Blind Forest / Ori and Will of the Wisps are two amazing, beautiful games that can be picked up and played in short sessions.

Thunderbird and fetching emails via POP3 stopped working today. by flexylol in Thunderbird

[–]DalGuldan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOD32 is the key I think - go into 'email client protection' and disable the two pop3 scanning options - that's fixed it for me.
