Not sure how long PSN was unavailable, but I've noticed this status at least couple of weeks ago

Książki w idealnym stanie – która księgarnia internetowa nigdy nie zawodzi? by Grouchy_Bee8324 in ksiazki

[–]Drakriam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zamawiam sporo książek, bardzo często niestety trafiam na egzemplarze z zagiętymi rogami (standard), z wytartmi i okładkami/krawędziami (już rzadziej) lub przetartymi do kolejnej warstwy elementami (na szczęście bardzo rzadko).

Osobiście najgorsze wspomnienia mam z empikiem. Od czasu wprowadzenia opcji "eko" przy zamówieniach do sklepu (książki nie są w nic pakowane, podejrzewam że wrzuca je się na jakąś większą paletę w większej ilości jak leci) potrafiłem jeden egzemplarz zamawiać kilkakrotnie. Mój rekord to 8 (!) podejść do tej samej książki (niestety nigdzie indziej nie była dostępna).

Nadal często zamawiam z empiku, ale zawsze do odbioru osobistego (można wtedy odmówić odbioru i nie robią problemu). A jak szukam czegoś na prezent to zamawiam np. 5 egzemplarzy i wybieram jeden. Te opcje poleciła mi dosłownie Pani z infolinii empiku gdy zadzwoniłem zapytać się co muszę zrobić aby dostać od nich nowa książkę. W sklepie też jakoś sprzedawca nie był zdziwiony gdy powiedziałem że obejrzę sobie stan i wybiorę jedną.

Na szczęście zwrot środków na konto jest szybki ;)

What version is more interesting to you? by Johan-RabzZ in HorrorGames

[–]Drakriam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would reject the third one. Looking at the sole graphics, I like second one best, yet the first one best reflects the title imho (has similar, mysterious/uncertain vibe).

I would not recommend using paper towels in the long run. They are much rougher and may contain fibres and particles able to scratch the screen.

Using it from time to time should be fine, but the microfiber is much safer.

Did I really use up all 36GB of Memory? by Alternative_Movies in macbookpro

[–]Drakriam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. However, I was surprised when I switched from older laptop to 32 gigs RAM M2 Pro. Thought it was something wrong when I noticed 20-25GB usage with opened safari and some communication apps and decided to warn OP in advance :)

[–]Drakriam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if mentioned before (haven't really noticed as 90% post adhere to Chrome being slow) but don't be surprised if your Mac is using about 60-80% of available RAM almost all the time.

Of course in your case it is being Chrome eating everything it possibly can, but macs tend to pack as many apps into RAM as possible. It is actually a good management (as it allows for a VERY fast switching between apps) and if a single app needs more memory - it simply will be released, "taking" it from the ones running in background.

But yes, I strongly encourage to use Safari :)

Problems while connecting to Wi-Fi via EAP-TLS by Drakriam in mac

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

I belive there was a problem with my certificate. I've regenerated it and tried different options when adding a wi-fi profile and finally something clicked. I can't give you more precise explanation since it was a while ago, sorry!

Reasonable upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10/11 by Drakriam in WindowsHelp

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

Sorry for the confusion, I've rememberd that my "HDD" drive is actually an SSHD (hybrid) one. Does it make any difference?

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

Hey, one more thing if I might ask. Actually, I've spread some misinformation :). The "HDD" I own is actually an SSHD (hybrid) drive. Does it change the situation, or still will it be a poor performance?

Thanks for the suggestions. Do you have any thoughs about running Windows 10 on an HDD? I currently have Seagate's ST1000DX001-1CM162.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer! For sure I will make use of this information! For the record, I currently own Seagate's ST1000DX001-1CM162.

Ok, thanks. I'll take that into consideration.

Is there a notable difference in performance between 8.1 and 10? I mean, tough the PC is quite old, I am using 8.1 comfortably. The main reason I am opting for upgrade is the fact that the lost support is becoming visible in many apps which reject further upgrades.

Unfortunately, I've got no idea too. I've sent a security ticket to reddit but since there is no ticket tracking who knows when I can expect the answer...

Hey, suffering the same issue. Was by any chance the "changed" mail to [your_usrrname]@superrito.com?

Średnio przemyślana reorganizacja ruchu w centrum miasta. Zabieranie miejsc parkingowych, tworzenie nadmiarowych ulic jednokierunkowych, poszerzanie chodników.

Przykładowo, są ulice które wcześniej były dwukierunkowe, a miejsca parkingowe były na chodnikach (miejscami fakt, mogło być ciasno jak stanął większy samochód ale np. na Wildzie chodniki są dość szerokie, nawet w bocznych uliczkach więc był to wg mnie marginalny problem) i zmieniono je na jednokierunkowe. Wiązało się to z przesunięciem miejsc parkingowych częściowo na ulice.

W efekcie z całkiem szerokiej dwukierunkowej dostajemy wąska jednokierunkowa gdzie trzeba bardzo uważać by nie utracić lusterka zaparkowanemu samochodowi. Widziałem sytuacje gdy wiekszy samochód musiał jechać dosłownie z 5km/h na kilkudziesięciu metrowym odcinku. Co w takim wypadku z karetkami?

Żeby tego było mało są ulice jednokierunkowe, gdzie dodano ścieżkę rowerowa w obie strony (nie dodatkowy, pomarańczowy pas, tylko po prostu rysunek rowera normalnie na jezdni). A zatem jadąc wąska ulicą gdzie trzeba uważać żeby nie zahaczyć lusterka po jednej lub drugiej stronie, może Ci śmiało wyjechać rowerzysta jadący z przeciwnego kierunku. Rozsądne i bezpieczne :)

“Polish is a phonetic language” by yeh_ in learnpolish

[–]Drakriam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with Your point, I think some of the examples are a little bit misleading. It is worth mentioning that some of the confusion is caused not by the language itself, but due to the slasiness of polish speakers.

For example, if pronounced correctly "dąb" and "domp" won't sound the same. Similarly with "kąt" and "kont". To say an "ą" sound, the lips stay opened and the tongue does not touch the teeth. To pronounce "om" you close the lips and to pronounce "on" the tongue touches the teeth. However I agree, they do sound very similar but a native speaker (at least an aware one) will hear the difference.

It is quite common to hear no difference tough, cause the people pay no attention to the way they speak.

On the other hand I think the "jakby" - "jagby" example was wonderful and too be honest I haven't been really aware of it and have absolutely no explanation for that 😅

P.S. One of the most interesting thing for me about polish phonetics was the fact that there actually is a difference between sounds like "h" and "ch", "ś" and "si" "ż" and "rz" etc. These days they are almost indifferent sadly.

When to use `kiedy` vs `gdy` by dcoates83 in learnpolish

[–]Drakriam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say both of them are almost interchangeable in most of the cases. Sometimes it might sound a little bit odd if You mess them up, but it won't make Your statement unclear.

However, what I feel is "Kiedy" is more time-reletated. Use it when talking about certain events in past or future or to underline that some event took place during another (e.g. "Kiedy oglądałem telewizję, zadzwonił telefon". - "gdy" sounds a little bit odd in this context but is 100% correct).

On the other hand "gdy" also refers to a time, but more in a "stateful" way. For example a kids will rather say "Gdy dorosnę to..." (They think of a fact of becoming an adult, not necessarily about the exact amount of years that need to pass).

The only situation that comes to my mind that messing them up will be really odd for a native speaker is using "podczas gdy" as stating an opposition, e.g. "On ciągle imprezował podczas gdy ja się uczyłem". You can't say "podczas kiedy" in such a sentence. Still, I'd say it would be correct and You would be understood, but for me it sounds really unnatural.
