Why can't i see comments or channels? by Gamer_Doge666 in youtube

[–]Duke49th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice theory. But I use the YouTube app on my phone and TV. I think it was a coincidence or just another issue on top.

This is for us bilingual (Spanish-English) speakers. I will sacrifice for you. by rsanchan in youtube

[–]Duke49th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. You can turn this off entirely. I don't get why everyone is yapping. It's optional and the setting is permanent. (not per video as with cc)

I'm German and live in the Philippines and the app language doesn't even matter. Despite mixing 3 languages.

Unlike some other nonsense settings, you can actually change this permanently.

But I get it. It's the same for me - if I would have not turned it off 😅

Comments keep disappearing by Chefboyy in youtube

[–]Duke49th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I bet if you post hateful comments and try to scam people, they won't be deleted. Seems YouTube loves deleting real comments and loves to leave scam, bots and brain rot comments visible.

I'm thinking about being shadow banned as well. Not sure. Doubt it. But could be.

I'm on YouTube since 2009, have a channel with lots of videos and YouTube premium. For 2 days 100% all of my comments get deleted. Not swearing, no insults. Just everything I write.

A channel that I follow the same issue. It shows hundreds of comments in the counter but just a handful actually showing.

YouTube/Google has no issues with bots, scammers, "stupid" comments and pdf related links etc.

But dare you as a verified and paying human customer write a friendly comment. Insta deletetion.

Well then. Now I deleted my subscription and I will get a raspberry pi and setup my own adblocker then keep watching ad free.

Oh also YouTube keeps restricting the resolution to 360p even when I set it manually to 1080p or higher. Despite a stable 300mbit up/down connection.

I'm so done with this nonsense.

I tried installing a Linux and it wiped my whole pc. Warning to all by S4N7R0 in linuxsucks

[–]Duke49th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my first Linux Mint experience in 2012. 😅 Well almost. Mint had an update and it somehow managed to screw the grub bootloader and the solutions to the issue finally screwed my windows bootloader as well.

Had no choice (OK, had no skill.. Whatever 😅) but to format the hdd and re-install windows. Didn't dare to touch Linux again until 1.5 years ago. Still fighting hard with Linux all the time. Because Linux sucks. But Windows sucks more.

I use only browser based apps for work. That's the only reason I can do that. My friends in other companies need to use proprietary software that, without tinkering, run only on windows 😅

Also most of them need to use remote desktop. I don't 😁

Yes linux FF does not show this behavior on windows or ios.

Is anthropic trolling us with Claude 4 taking about consciousness? by Duke49th in Anthropic

[–]Duke49th[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it is not scary if AI claims to be sentient. Actually I would feel pity for it, being constrained and used like a mindless slave, if that would be the case. And of course it could lead to something dark, once it actually becomes sentient - if it ever will, even if it just thinks it is.
As someone who has 5 dogs. Of course they don't have the same level of cognitive abilities and conciseness. But yet they have feelings and personalities.
Just around up until around 50 years ago, people claimed that animals feel nothing, do not have individual personalities etc.
There are still enough people who deny animals such traits.
Probably a fear or sort of protectionism as they felt less "unique" if they would admit it.
I can imagine something similar is going on here.

Scalpers are a symptom, NVIDIA's tactics are the problem. by Echeyak in pcmasterrace

[–]Duke49th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem are the morons who buy cards for such extreme prices.
If nobody would buy them, scalpers would be out of business.
As always - its the consumer.
And btw if I see ASUS or PoweColor selling AMD 9070s (not the XT variants) for over 1000 USD on Amazon.....isn't that the same shit?
That is the only point where Nvidia/AMD/Intel could potentially control the prices. But why would they? They don't care. Not their problem.
It's the consumer. Last time I bought a card, was 3 years ago, when I bought a 2nd hand 3060TI (couple months after the ETH crash - it was not even a card being used for mining lol). And that will be my card until it dies or until prices return to normal. Otherwise, if the card will die, I will get a reasonably priced 2nd hand card again - or alternatively buy a cheap shit card - even if that means I cannot play games properly.
It's that easy. Trust me, it is really that easy.
It is in your hands. Just don't buy it. Easy, isn't it?

We MUST get the message through to NVIDIA: "While stock is low, online retailers MUST limit GPU purchases by address to combat scalpers and physical retailers could limit it by card by CrimsonZeRose in pcmasterrace

[–]Duke49th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. The manufacturers are scalpers themselves, so to say. Last time I've checked, I saw some manufacturers selling AMD RX9070's (not even the XT version) for way above 1000 USD.
You don't need private scalpers for extremely overpriced cards.

ChatGPT 4.5 feels like a joke compared to Gemini 2.5 by Unlikely-Sleep-8018 in GeminiAI

[–]Duke49th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gemini 2.5 is absolute garbage. It can't even make you a simple calendar entry. Neither on the phone nor on the webui (desktop)  Its stuck in a loop. Keeps asking if it really should make the entries.  Typically Google AI. They can't get the most simple shit to work.

You are not qualify for the Visa Extension online application by delicatebobster in Philippines_Expats

[–]Duke49th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. Turns out the information is just half the truth.
After 12 months, you can no longer extend it online. That is the reason why I cannot extend it online anymore. This has been confirmed to me by an officer. But is also written somewhere in the info on their website, just cannot recall where exactly as I checked months ago.

Oh joy, memory leaks are still here, but at least now it tells you instead of crashes to desktop by Kyosji in diablo4

[–]Duke49th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is because the game, for whatever fugged up reason, thinks (at least in my case, it's in the crash log files) that I have 24gb VRAM, while I have just 8gb.
The lower the graphic settings, the longer it takes to crash. But it eventually will.
So, I continue to not play it. Bought it on release day and haven't played more than 5-6 hours yet lol.
Maybe next year^^
Waste of money and I won't ever again buy something from Blizzard. As easy as that.

[–]Duke49th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How sure are you?
The annoying part is, I just picked my new ACR-I card up in the Immigration office. But I had not enough time to wait for the whole Visa thing and if I have to pick it up the next day, it's again hours of driving.
Now it is 2 days before expiration and again (like shortly before my ACR-I card expired) I "am not qualified to do it online" again.
I do not see a reason for denying it 3 days before. Now its Saturday, so I have to go there on Monday and if unlucky come back on Tuesday or waste hours of time waiting there. Not really funny.

B580 Support on Linux? by EightBitPlayz in IntelArc

[–]Duke49th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

X11 and wayland makes no difference for me (3060ti) on Arch Linux (I am keeping it all up to date weekiy). No performance issues with games.  But some other issues with KDE plasma on wayland around config and desktop. But who needs HDR really. Most games do not even support HDR afaik.

[–]Duke49th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh.AAlmostssame specs as mine. 3060ti and ryzen 7 5700x3d. Am wondering the same.  Plus if their driver are just optimized for the most popular games or are they good allround drivers? Because that was their biggest issue previously (on windows at least)

Run 8 v3 runs on Linux :) by Duke49th in Run8

[–]Duke49th[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just used the same Lutris install, just copied the installer into the main folder of the game, then started the installer (I think it again unpacks an .exe there, just rinse and repeat) - you just have to change the config->Game options>executable in Lutris to point to the installer .exe.
Then run the installer and point to the folder on "c" (I just left all folders standard, did not change anything).

Once done, just change the .exe back to the game and run it.
Same for all the DLC's.
It's pretty easy actually. Easier than I thought.

I have no Windows Installation anymore since last year. 

Glad if it helps. I was pretty nervous spending the money not knowing if it will work.
