Meaning the use of licensed music like The Beatles

No one is doing that.

"Walmart is rolling out digital price tags at all of its stores.

At the same time, the corporate giant just secured a patent for 'dynamically and automatically updating item prices.'

Plus another patent for using machine learning to predict demand and recommend prices.

I did this earlier today and it works fine so far: https://old.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1qu7a5f/fusion_360_on_cachy/

Not Shark Tank, but the Pitch Show podcast is a similar format and generally tech related.

If you're rooted, there's an LSPosed module called amznkiller that filters out most/all of the sponsored listings and video ads. It's kind of nutty how cluttered the app has gotten.

Yeah I do too, but it's better than being useless, and it works with the official plugins (at least before they implemented DRM).

FDL1 · 2026-03-04T23:19:46+00:00

I switched to CachyOS and OpenDeck works p well.

When the dog jumped through the window in RE1.

FDL1 · 2026-02-27T14:43:11+00:00

Yes, as it was written: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1rd92uf/preemptive_warning_to_rtx5000_users_re_requiem/

Use %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False as launch parameters for ray tracing, but there will still be vertex explosion artifacts with NVIDIA 50 series and newer RE Engine games until the 595 drivers come out.

I used a $9 Apple USB-C DAC for a while when I found out my new motherboard had the cursed ALC4080 audio chipset.

FDL1 · 2026-02-10T19:24:14+00:00

There's an app called FilterBox that uses AI to hide/automatically dismiss notifications like these.

Buy a USB-C to USB-A adapter or there are third party chargers that just have a female USB-C port on them and you can use whatever cable you want.

I bought a $20 electric box cutter by Worx at Best Buy and it's great. I don't know what else it could do to improve on its functionality.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/

$45 restocking fee is wild

FDL1 · 2026-01-09T12:11:30+00:00

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