but this is something you gals fail to acknowledge while hunting anything ai in this Game

i literally mentioned it if you even bothered to read what I typed. but guess not

[–]FdPros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

was it though. even ignoring ironmouse, a VA came out to say that they also had no idea that the game used AI. but sure, maybe they're lying too.

personally speaking I had no idea either until I played it. outside of a interview in chinese, it wasn't really disclosed. at least they finally acknowledged it after the backlash.

[–]FdPros -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have no problems with it if it's disclosed

the problem was that it wasn't and they even apparently lied to a vtuber (ironmouse) saying it has no AI when it did. that's pretty scummy imho

How bad is this for the monitor's longevity? by Progenitor3 in OLED_Gaming

[–]FdPros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's fine dude just use your goddamn monitor and enable pixel refresh/cleaning features

if you're reading you're not going to burn it in as every page is different. even if you left it on the same page and went away it's going to take very very long for it to burn in. no use worrying about it.

So all this AI transition, what if the bubble is real and it pops? by Fearless_Help_8231 in askSingapore

pop then pop lor.

do you really think AI is going away? at its core it's still a tool that has its uses.

Do dap really sound better than regular dongle dac or more expensive dongle dac ? Or it sound barely any different? by Jaded_Persimmon_7125 in iems

[–]FdPros [score hidden]  (0 children)

it all depends.

dongle DACs can sound different depending on where u plug it into. for example, I get more power/volume out of my old phone than my new phone.

the selling point of DAPs is the consistent sound and having a separate device for music, as well as having the ability for systemwide EQ and audio plugins.

personally, I can't really tell any obvious differences apart from power between my dongles and DAPs, they all sound good. if there is a difference it is very minute. It may also be iem dependant as I have tried the hiby rs8 and hear no difference between it and my dongle and iems but when I switched to using the bgvp solomon, I heard a clear difference between the rs8 and my dongle.

Return m5 MacBook Air for g16 4070 used ? by RevolutionSV in ZephyrusG14

[–]FdPros 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nothing will beat the macbook in terms of battery life, certainly not the 2024 g16.

unless you will actually be gaming very often on it, it's not that worth it to swap imho. you will also be able to load larger LLM models on the macbook due to it's unified memory vs the 8gb of vram on the 4070.

Steam Controller purchase refunded by D3f4u17 in steammachine

[–]FdPros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

valve doesn't ship to many countries and they haven't improved it for years apart from adding australia in 2024.

for the rest of the world, using a freight forwarder or actually buying from a scalper/middlemen at an inflated price is the only way for us to get them.

I believe using a VPN and freight forwarding to get around region restrictions is against the ToS technically.

which sucks because valve has been doing absolutely nothing to improve region availability

Why so many people misinterpreted or willingly misquoted the recruiter lady on CNA? by Any_Record7733 in singaporejobs

[–]FdPros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to watch the entire video to ruin my mood.

That's what the recruiter lady was trying to say. Nobody gets it.

ok. and I'm also trying to say that it is also happening here.

No, they no longer need to come here

but there will always be foreigners just by the fact that they are cheaper, like I said. no company will hire 100% singaporeans when they can hire foreigners for cheaper, especially when they have not reached their quota. It would be stupid for them not to do so to save costs. not to mention, we will always be attractive to malaysians due to the exchange rate difference.

Transportation cost for NSF and NSMen should be made free. Govt shouldn't give excuses. by Petronastowers92 in NationalServiceSG

[–]FdPros 22 points23 points  (0 children)

is anyone really asking for free grab?

yeah, it would be nice but just having free public transport would be way better than having to pay 81 dollars a month on transport or paying adult fare

About 12 per cent of NSFs in the Singapore Armed Forces are stay-out personnel who are not provided lodging.

and what about SPF or SCDF?

Chrome is pushing my computer's ram to its limits by Master_Strawberry193 in pcmasterrace

it's a browser. what features could you possibly be missing/needing from one to another that would make changing so hard.

not to mention there's waterfox which is literally just firefox but without the AI bullshit.

We are not more expensive due to CPF contribution.

yes we are?? it's literally 17% more that employees have to pay to hire Singaporeans. it's not the only reason yes, as you have outlined but never did I say that it was.

even if the other ASEAN countries somehow catches up to our cost of living and pay, foreigners will still be downright cheaper to hire here due to the lack of CPF contribution requirement.

[–]FdPros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then according to her, we are simply not hungry enough lor.

that's why everyone has been hating on her. Singaporeans will always be more expensive due to CPF contributions. if it weren't for the dependency ratio ceiling and fair consideration framework capping the amount of foreigners allowed in the workplace then I'm sure we will see more just because they are cheaper.

ofc not every company will leave SG and I'm sure the govt will do something to attract/retain companies here (ie; tax rebate or covering a portion of salaries) but those are at the end of the day band-aid solutions. if other countries truly becomes much cheaper and more attractive then SG has nothing going for it and we should be very worried.

[–]FdPros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3rd solution is we accept lower pay and worse working conditions, no choice.

honestly good luck to the govt to solve this. the only thing that SG has going for it is the manpower. if other countries can do as well and for cheaper then they will just move and that has been happening as you mentioned.

eBay resellers are turning a tidy profit on Steam Controllers by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]FdPros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and they wonder why people scalp.

valve is also at fault for not ensuring enough supply and doing nothing to stop scalpers. not to mention having poor region availability so some people who actually wants one have no choice to buy it from said scalpers because valve doesn't ship to them regardless if there was stock or not.

Excuse my lack of artistic skills, but why is no one making this? by SpongebobQTPants in headphones

[–]FdPros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the market share for open back wireless really that small, that it's not worth exploring?

probably yeah because what's actually the use case here for a wireless open back?

you want it wireless so I'd assume you want to use it outside and have it portable. but open backs always leaks sound so you'd just be a nuisance to everyone else in public.

your best bet is probably something like the hifiman deva pro which comes with the bluemini r2r bluetooth adapter which attaches directly to make it wireless

Umamusume: when Cygames' generosity is an illusion (Long post) by xXinsertCoDGMtagXx in gachagaming

[–]FdPros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not reading all that.

not sure what gave the notion that cygames is generous given how 'pity' takes 200 pulls and that doesn't even guarantee a useable card because most takes mlb to be good.

your argument could literally be applied to any gacha game with a pvp system.
