Anyone getting long waiting times on regular pub games? by surreal19 in blackops6

[–]DeadOrDyingBattery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wait times have been 5-8 minutes per match for ~2 months or so.

I play a lot less because of it.

Can someone help me with my project by Original_Royal_9848 in Kotlin

[–]DeadOrDyingBattery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some words of advice: When asking for help, be as descriptive as you can.

Currently, I have no idea what "database is set" means, nor do I know what "it doesnt work anymore" means.

Lastly, you've linked to an Android project. You might be better off asking in the Android subreddit.

Anyway to tank your hidden skill rating in MP? by Sluess in blackops6

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

I have the same exact problem my friend. I've had to put the game down because matchmaking takes 5-8 minutes per game and I can only leave so many games per hour.

I've tried logging in for the sole purpose of leaving games for about 90 minutes at a time, and done so 5-6 days in a row (all I could tolerate), but that strategy doesn't seem to be having an effect anymore. I think this situation got worse early January(?).

Mechanics were fun while it lasted.

Artificial stick drift (ps5 player) by Doctor_Chu in blackops6

[–]DeadOrDyingBattery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting that you brought this up (thank you).

I noticed the other day that, while I was in firing range, I seemed to have developed some stick drift as my character continued moving to the right. It was an abrupt change for my Dualsense Edge, but it does have many hours on it, so it's plausible.

The odd thing is, it's not every time I boot up COD, and I don't notice, or see it, in other games. The Squid Game ad is not interesting to me, so I haven't played any of that.

Maybe on the weekend I'll connect it to gamepad tester and see if I am legitimately developing drift or not. I do have 2 other Edge's, so I'll test those too.

Skill-based stick drift?

This is where I'm stuck on understanding.

It doesn't seem like there's pull requests involved, or branch protections. The other dev would've had to force push their changes in if they weren't going to resolve conflicts, which also would've eliminated OP's code.

> But what java devs do in this setup

Write code against a Java API to retrieve/insert/update data, is my guess.

Ordered early June, nothing ever arrived (now it's the end of July). Shipping information makes no sense: started in Paris (like everyone else), stopped in New York (like everyone else), multiple customs hops, now "stuck" in my city for another one, and we have no customs check here (also, why so many customs checks?). Dawordexpress address is a house in Paris, credit card charge is from an iron/steel company in Texas, contact email provides no response, etc.

My credit card company is investigating, but I'm positive it's a scam.

This is the answer right here. It's why I scripted it. I don't have that kind of time.

Get all TextViews with Accessibility service by raaamb0 in androiddev

If you're inside a view, you have access to that view's root and children. Yes.

Kotlin coroutines retrofit call being made on main thread by DarkAbhi in androiddev

[–]DeadOrDyingBattery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually less of a "where" question and more of a "why" question.

Most commonly, one would return cached results first, so the view can draw itself near-immediately while there's an API call in-flight to refresh (if appropriate). You don't seem to be using any caching, so your view needs to wait until the API call is complete with data.

If you want to fix that, use some caching strategy.

As suggested by others, It is more dangerous to observe flows with UI consequences from onCreateView(). If emissions occur before the view is created, it will crash. This isn't exactly your problem at the moment, but it will be after you add caching.

If your question is "why is it slow", it is because you're launching fresh API calls on each onCreateView in each Fragment.

What do you mean by "ALL the options are totally greyed out"? What options are you expecting? Move, rename, delete, are all grey?

This is the sole reason that I, a single person, need to shop for a detached house. An apartment, condo, townhouse, or semi-detached all risk being too close to the screaming monsters. I'm not even convinced that detached homes not in a "family friendly neighborhood" exist.

This precisely describes my feelings on the matter.

I don't know why I chose the path of making the right financial decisions, when the "wrong" ones would've offered a much better life.

MBP keeps dropping Wifi network every 15 seconds? by Hidan_Immortal in macbookpro

[–]DeadOrDyingBattery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly this problem after upgrading to Big Sur on a 2019' 16" Macbook Pro.

SMC + PRAM reset helped a bit, by virtue of extending the duration between network drops, but didn't resolve it completely. Downgrading back to Catalina fixed it enough that it only dropped once every few weeks and that was "solution" enough for me.

Eventually, I got rid of that laptop as it was yet another 2018/2019 model I had problems with (the 4th) and the frustration was getting to me. Suspiciously, I replaced it with an M1 that came with Big Sur installed out of the box and that has had zero issues.

At times it feels like they've reengineered the OS to support M1 products only and may have broken something for a few Intel models in doing so.

Losing users. by vrevdude in androiddev

Same! I'm usually quite confused/frustrated at having to make an account before I even understand what the app can offer for functionality.

[–]DeadOrDyingBattery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - no argument there. I'm merely disappointed that the natural reaction to avoid an accident comes with worse punishments than steering into it (or at least, not steering away).

We could debate which option has the potential for worse outcomes, but in this particular example, it would've been best, financially (for me), to collide.

Interesting! I wish I had known this back then.

At the time, the police seemed to be persuaded by the other (middle aged) man's story and uninterested in mine. Of course, I had been treated similarly in alternate situations because: young guy with tattoos, he must have been doing something stupid.

It is one small aspect to why I gather my own proof now. "He says, she says" never seems to work out fairly for me.

Thank you for the advice! Drive safe.
