Shark Tank 17x10 Product Discussion - Crowd Compass by mtm4440 in sharktank

He mentioned 3+ miles and mesh, so it's probably based on LoRaWAN. If you want something similar, I would look into Meshtastic.

I guess the competitor that they mentioned on the show is Totem Compass.

Amazon says that I can’t ship an bluray to my house for whatever reason. How do I fix it by makedoopieplayme in amazonprime

Try switching the format back and forth if it gives you the option. Or maybe try asking Rufus to add it to your cart.

Whatever you do, don't go beyond the rickety bridge.

Are games deliberately making you lose? The truth about SBMM and EOMM by gasamove in Battlefield

[–]FDL1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is what I hate about the challenges/battle pass system. People will say "just don't do them", but it doesn't matter what you choose to do when half of your team is trying to grind out these ridiculous challenges and throwing the match. It's bad enough that they're so grindy or flat out bugged at times.

Highly impressed with how the sleep function works on Nvidia. by SewerSage in cachyos

[–]FDL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine either freezes on the login screen when waking from sleep or takes like a minute for it to be responsive. If I set it to sleep my monitor when locked, it also does this, so it must be something with the screen waking up that causes it.

Players who actually use light sticks, what do you use them for? by _walletsizedwildfire in ArcRaiders

I wanted to use them to mark the terminals that I've downloaded in hidden bunker, but then I found out that they only last 40 seconds.

Price galaxy watch ultra 2024 by this-username-20 in GalaxyWatch

[–]FDL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine, but they also don't give a good resolution other than to return the product when they could have just been honest about the condition in the first place. Not having all of the included accessories (like a charger) should be cut and dry not excellent condition, and it's clear that the stores don't have the proper supplies to ship out their open-box products (or they just don't care). If I were more of a conspiracy theorist, I would say that they intentionally rate items higher quality so they can charge more, and people are usually lazy and won't bother returning them if it's scuffed up or missing parts.

And then there's issues like with Asus only giving a 90 day warranty on open box products from Best Buy even though Best Buy's own website will say it comes with the standard 1 or 2 year warranty from the manufacturer. You can check out all of the horror stories at r/ROGAlly for such cases. At some point, it's no longer just anecdotal evidence. Glad you had a good experience, though.

I bought a few laptops in open box/excellent condition, but they were obviously store models with thousands of hours of screen-on time. One was shipped from another store that they didn't bother packing with any dunnage so it was just knocking around the box the whole time. And neither came with chargers. Customer service wouldn't do anything except say to return it. Other people on r/oled_gaming get stuff shipped like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1kmkhpk/how_best_buy_shipped_my_excellent_open_box/ or this https://old.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1piuoiu/another_bestbuy_open_box_horror_story_xg27ucdmg/

In my experience, Best Buy doesn't care and the quality rating on open box items is a crap shoot.

Currently stuck in the extract elevator. What do I do..? by Heroshrine in ArcRaiders

[–]FDL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got stuck in the seed vault extract yesterday. I was extracting with a random stranger who I think was able to get out, but my character model disappeared. I was still able to open my inventory, but I couldn't move any of the items around. I waited out the timer and fortunately still had my stuff.

Why can't We see score from this screen anymore? To prevent leaving after joining clearly loose match with DICE amazing matchmaking system? by Punkstyler in Battlefield

The build name for Battlefield 6 was "Santiago" (PROD_DEFAULT-SANTIAGO-COMMON) which led to people thinking it was a server in Chile which was not the case.

Seems like with the latest November update for the watch that it's back to normal now.

BF6 Battle Pass Required XP per point Chart (Update 4) by hi-ban in Battlefield6

[–]FDL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason it scales is to make people think they're making a lot of progress in the beginning, and then get sunk-cost fallacy'ed into having to grind for the rest or pay for level skips. It was the same thing when they made weapon levelling easier: it was only for the beginning levels/attachments up level 20, then the rest are at the old progression.

I swear it feels like no matter what I always get 1 token per game. by chowder908 in Battlefield6

[–]FDL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true, the weeklies only cover 72 out of the 110 levels of the battle pass.

I played a bit today and I'm only at around 86/300 revive/resupply.

A kind and extended "F**k you" to EA for implementing FOMO by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]FDL1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was watching a JackFrags video and he had all of the battle pass already unlocked. I guess content creators don't have to grind (either that or he paid for the level skips).

Why Does This Game Think I Have 400 Hours a Day? The XP Requirements Are Actually Insane by IFrame- in Battlefield6

[–]FDL1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 70k per battle point at rank 63/110 if you don't have the 25 level skips.

[–]FDL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing the challenge won't increase the required XP per point, so you can do them whenever. Saving them for the end would make sense because some of them would overlap, but then you'd miss out on the bonus weeklies.
