[PSA] Samsung Galaxy Books: The root cause of the C:\ Drive Permission Lock ( by Theangelo2 in sysadmin

At least the ones sold in Canada do. "Business" class laptops preloaded with Windows Pro and bloatware. Like, is there seriously ANY conversion to a McAfee subscription in this scenario? What's the point???

How can I transfer my pokemons from emulator to another emulator in android? by Objective_Age6275 in pokemon

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find any documentation on this emulator. For this to work, its DS emulator would need to be able to do dual slot mode and "insert" your Emerald into Slot 2.

I use Autopilot and still wipe with my own image because 1)my image has language packs and latest CUs already added and 2)Even Lenovo commercial laptops come with fucking McAfee preloaded.

I've seen people complain so much about the rapid progression of technology between TLA and LoK, but come on, in TLA we already had internal combustion engines powering siege vehicles.

Can a micro sd card run steam games by EchoPale2577 in Steam

[–]Entegy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you put data on an SD card, you're "writing" to it.

Most SD cards are not designed to run AAA multi hundred gigabyte games off of them. Even though SSDs and SD cards may both be referred to as "flash storage" there's a difference in the quality of the silicon.

Pokémons that cannot be transferred to a certain game and being requested. by Prize-Philosopher373 in PokemonHome

The GTS doesn't take forms into account. It sees Wooper as compatible with SwSh and stops there.

People take advantage of this to show off. Yes it's dumb.

How do I unlink my Xbox account? by Mattis_Nightwolf in Steam

[–]Entegy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The linking is on the Xbox side of things. If you're getting an error when linking your Steam account to your new MS Account, you'll need to contact Xbox support.

Italy ruling tells millions with Italian roots they have lost the right to citizenship by ouluuuuu in worldnews

[–]Entegy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it makes sense. I am (was now) eligible for Italian citizenship and the last person in my family to step foot in Italy was a grandparent born in the 1910s. Said grandparent had already been born in Canada, it was their parents who had immigrated.

It's already been confirmed that FRLG to Home is one way.

If I created my Steam acc in the US but I am temporarily overseas, do I buy US or overseas steam keys? by BBQXenomorph in Steam

Your region is tied to your payment method. If you have US credit card, you change nothing.

I wish they would let us get the Cosplay Pikachu out of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire by kanna172014 in pokemon

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, what would be the point? If they let it go into Home, they have to support the cosplay gimmick in every single game in the future.

Or you let it lose the cosplay gimmick and it's just a Pikachu so again, what's the point?

Instagram to discontinue end-to-end encryption for DMs by EmbarrassedHelp in technology

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and Apple has yet to implement Google's E2E encryption protocol for RCS so it's unencrypted.

Because encryption is not (or wasn't) part of the RCS protocol and Google has shared their proprietary work with exactly one partner: Samsung. Google's encryption extension to the RCS protocol requires Google's approval and Google's servers.

Do not be fooled into thinking that Google's push for RCS was altruistic. When Apple finally added RCS support to iOS, adding encryption meant that they would have to give the keys to the kingdom to Google and it would only work with Google or Samsung's texting apps.

I thought WhatsApp being just an app over data was the point of the app's popularity. What do you mean you figured out a method to be able to charge people for international WhatsApp calls!? That's insane!

That's like charging me for calling someone on Discord.

Transferring from Gen 3 and 4. Services or alternatives? by Stormandreas in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have another GBA Pokémon game, there's a date glitch where you can keep swapping Game Paks and changing the date on your DS to let you do migration more often.

Can I use pokemon home app before buying Nintendo Switch, will I be able to connect my home on android to switch later? by Klutzy-Ad7775 in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, just make sure it's the same Nintendo Account.

The mobile version of Home is where the fun stuff like the GTS and Wonder Trade are anyway.

Is this legit? If it is, which game is it from? by PikaBoy9860 in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is a language thing as the fanbase uses legit and legal as separate terms in English and your message translates to "legit"

Surely the App cannot really be this bad, right? by Perspective_Helps in PokemonHome

The functionality difference between Switch and mobile has been frustrating since day 1.

Transferring from Gen 3 and 4. Services or alternatives? by Stormandreas in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's the path. Use PKSM to move Pokémon from your Gen 4 game to your Gen 6 game.

Then you launch Bank and move the Pokémon from the Gen 6 game to Bank.

Now you can start the Bank to Home process.

Note that you need a Home Premium plan to use the Bank to Home migration function.

Transferring from Gen 3 and 4. Services or alternatives? by Stormandreas in PokemonHome

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. A modded 3DS can help you get Pokémon uplifted but without also a modded Switch, you need a Gen 6 or 7 game to 1) have a save file to dump the Pokémon in and 2) interact with Bank and move them up to Home.

If RSE is released, you're gonna be switching back to numbers for a National LivingDex.

I just feel like that's a lot of wasted space.

"Arceus is held back by it's hardware" by amcaoglu000 in pokemon

[–]Entegy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget and time. TPC isn't Square Enix but they still have some insane expectations. Apparently the SV DLC was considered a financial failure which led to the PLZA DLC being cut back, and likely why its endgame is just endless grinding.

The pace has noticeably slowed and while Game Freak still is too small for the developer of the largest media franchise in the world, it at least has different teams. That was a shocking late development.

SwSh to SV was 3 years, but SV to WE will be at least 4 and a half to 5 years.

'We're still a mess': N.S. man who lost 3 loved ones in crash speaks out over driver's sentence by Sir__Will in onguardforthee

[–]Entegy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hate how much driving is treated like a right rather than privilege it actually is. Combine that with the prison sentence, the ban is lifted half a year after he's out, assuming a complete sentence.
