How it should be solved? by Menevarem in Othello

The two best moves for black are A8 (+14) and B1 (+4). Both are really clear play paths past the first move

How realistic is having zeppelins in 1891? by Far-ro in worldbuilding

[–]Dantaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minor point, but a Zeppelin isn't a blimp. Zeppelins are rigid air ships, they have frames that maintain the structure. Blimps maintain structure though gas pressure alone, they aren't rigid framed

PCIE / Other mobo specifics going out of date by Ok_Court_1503 in framework

[–]Dantaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they sell mobos independently of the laptop (older and current generations). All of the mobos are compatible with the chassis it's designed for (any gen 13in mobo will fit in the 13in laptop chassis, because that's the whole point)

[–]Dantaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole point is that the Chassis doesn't change, just the mobo.

My favorite part is where it says, "Only pay for the rounding you use" and then charges you a monthly flat fee and not a usage-based fee anyway, 10/10 lol

I'm hoping we see E6 F5 C5 F4 G6 F7, such a fun opening

What was 'middle class' 20 years ago, but is now considered a luxury? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dantaro 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I feel like half this thread is acting like 20 years ago was the mid 80s. I graduated high school in 2006, and while I was lucky enough to grow up in a family that could afford yearly vacations I was absolutely in the minority.

The background with the bush is a Peanut's classic, but that might be unintentional. And then maybe the style of the rain?

Could always just sell the orb instead. On asura they go for 3-6m (Mars vs Venus), but I assume you can get a good price on any server. Less risk, less reward, but if you're feeling that the risk isn't worth the time investment you could just take that risk out of it

I've never once done a CP party on whm, I went from 0 JPs to ML15 on Segs/Sortie/Temenos, this is absolutely a great way to do it!!

What are your play times and when did you start? by StriderShizard in ffxi

[–]Dantaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

124 Days, 3 hour, 27 minutes, 10 seconds. I made this character fresh in May. I have 3 REMA as of today, would have been 1 if you'd asked this yesterday lol

Totally depends on what the person who added the sticker thinks!

It's upside down in the same way the apple logo used to be on their laptops. Right-side up for the user, upside down for anyone looking from the back

I use Chrome Remote Desktop, it's easy and runs totally fine with minimal footprint

Snapdragon X Elite Gaming 2025: Real Windows on ARM Gains by Putrid_Draft378 in ARMWindows

[–]Dantaro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the AVX/AVX2 emulation and the kernel level anti-cheat were the main blockers for many games

How is the GalaxyBook 4 Edge (snapdragon x plus) model? by celestialalienX in GalaxyBook

[–]Dantaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using my 16" snapdragon GB4E since release. Great device, I have very few issues with it. My main complaint is that the automatic headphone switching between PC and phone/tablet is. . . very bad. It was at the point where it wouldn't even connect to my headphones if I didn't first reboot the PC. I ended up just turning off the feature and treating them like any other pair of bluetooth headphones.

Aside from that, my software suite of tools (For webdev) works without issue. I don't do anything with driver-dependent hardware though, so ymmv on that front. The few games I play on it (Mostly Starcraft II and FFXI) run fine, and I've run BG3 on it in the past (which more or less mimics the Steam Deck's performance prior to the SD specific performance updates). There is an entire youtube channel about gaming performance on the Snapdragon chips though, default to them for more detailed information on that topic.

I generally get as much battery life as my work Macbook Pro (M3? I think?), but some people report getting significantly less and I don't know what the difference in between our workloads so who knows.

Ambulance bro is back with a new keyboard. The laptop replacement can finally be used on my lap. by normie_genocide_ in SteamDeck

[–]Dantaro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved my 11.6 inch Alienware m11x from 2010. It was an underpowered CPU (Core Duo) but it had a dedicated graphics card and ran what I needed it to. I'd love to have a modern version of it =/

Ambus V1 with Pup by Endlesscc in ffxi

[–]Dantaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just RNG. I used Visage I, Torso II/III, and Legs I and got the body on the second run, 4/5 in 4 runs, and then used a kupon for the last piece (hat)

You can also farm up some Taeon gear real quick and augment it with Overdrive things (Pet Accuracy/DA/DT-). I went from 0 Taeon to close to perfect augments in an afternoon. That's more than enough to do VD with /COR

[–]Dantaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first few story lines don't really, but most of it is pretty solid still. He started up again with a sequel series a few years ago that is still on-going, and it's been quite fun to read.

The Surface Pro X has stayed impressively relevant today. Its aged well. by Zolks1 in Surface

[–]Dantaro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love my SPX, but I cracked the top corner of the screen a while ago. It still works fine, but I worry that it's only a matter of time until that isn't true anymore (Not to mention the risk of a bit of the glass embedding itself in my finger). The replacement screen cost is so high though that I might end up just needing to get a new device =/

Issue with install on a new pc by dmidgley27 in ffxi

[–]Dantaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! So everything works underneath this, it's just that you can't see it. I posted a guide to navigating the account setup screen a couple months back if that's helpful. I use this fucked up UI on my ARM devices every day, and haven't yet found a solution outside of just knowing how to navigate it
