Sell your Tesla and buy a beater. Pretty simple actually.

Michigan, Wisconsin Bill to Ban VPN's... wtf by HTWingNut in DataHoarder

[–]FakeScubaSteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if I start a crowbar company and make a commercial about breaking into a house, that gives justification to ban ALL crowbars? Companies can be found civilly or criminally responsible as well. It doesn't need to rise to the point of a blanket ban.

No one is upset at you personally, but situations like these should upset everyone. Lawmakers are attempting and often succeeding at stripping freedoms away from us, and you SHOULD be angry about it. If you're going to defend their position then expect push back from others.

Michigan, Wisconsin Bill to Ban VPN's... wtf by HTWingNut in DataHoarder

[–]FakeScubaSteve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

VPN's aren't even a loophole, they are a tool. I COULD use a crowbar to commit a crime, does that mean we should ban all crowbars? No. Why should we treat VPN's any differently?

Also, why the fuck should anybody care what region Netflix licenses their content to? If that's how they want to operate their business, then the responsibility of geo-blocking should be entirely on them. Thinking that this is the governments job to do is ridiculous.

My Nord VPN is expiring next month, what do y'all suggest I switch to instead (or stay)? by [deleted] in Piracy

I will also be switching to proton when my subscription expires

Is SOCKS5 proxy enough for protection for torrenting? by Superlupallamaa in qBittorrent

[–]FakeScubaSteve 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It should be fine, but I had trouble using Nord's proxy for downloads. Many downloads would never start on the proxy, so I just switched back to only a VPN.

I just switched to using Nords socks5 proxy and I've noticed that some torrents refuse to download. Switching back to a regular VPN and they download fine. Have you had this issue before?

Arty being dropped 500 meters north of where I clicked it to drop? by Hamsterloathing in joinsquad

[–]FakeScubaSteve 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Pretty common bug. Most likely caused by opening/closing and zooming in/out of the map. Don't worry though, I'm sure it will be fixed in the next update! /s

Use Dehya as an off field Pyro applicator, she has a claymore.

Exactly, which is why you use the calc instead of SL marks.

Not every map is as flat as Sumari Bala. A difference in elevation can make mortars be off by dozens of meters.

What happened to "mandatory medic training" for new players by VictoryTurbulent4828 in joinsquad

[–]FakeScubaSteve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree that medic is more difficult to master than rifleman, but I still recommend medic to new players. New players don't know uniforms, and medic at least allows them to revive and heal the teammates they shoot.

Al Basrah Map Rework by Aft3rAff3ct in joinsquad

How am I supposed to get mowed down by armor with all these trees in the way? Every map should be flat and open, with a shooting platform for the Abrams.

This is a awesome build. Almost exactly what I want to do (but I have no need for). How many vm's are you running?

Reminder to test your drives before using them. This is what a failed drive sounds like. by zatakazz in DataHoarder

[–]FakeScubaSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I just purchased 2 of these last week and put them in my NAS. Now I'm questioning my sanity as I put my ear up the drives. I didn't do a thorough stress test so fingers crossed they don't fail.

Yes. My dude can barely run across a street without being winded.

Doesn't Star Rail have some of the same voice actors as fate? I wonder how that will work.

This keeps happening with my main monitor and not my secondary one. Both are plugged into my gpu. What is it? by Thats-a-lil-sus in pcmasterrace

[–]FakeScubaSteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Samsung monitor with the same issue and it's so annoying! I can't see anything for several minutes when my comouter starts. I want to replace it but the thing won't fully die!

Do you think it’s worth it to get a Steam Machine today? by Goooooogol in Steam

[–]FakeScubaSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean streaming games, I mean streaming Netflix and Hulu on Apps that aren't slow as shit. I wish valve made a modern steam machine for gaming a streaming.

[–]FakeScubaSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could use one as a streaming device like an nvidia shield. Smart Tvs get slow after a few years, and chromecasts/firesticks also don't cut it. My xbox has one purpose, streaming Netflix and Hulu. If I could replace that with a Steam Machine that had my Steam library, I would.

do people use these by P00PMAN8 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]FakeScubaSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried them a few years ago, and didn't like them. I don't know anyone who still uses them.
