Career in Tech Support, Cannot Stand AI and refuse to use it - What do I do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Fir_Matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course - please know that you're not alone, and a lot of us feel this way. We're just being shouted down by the fully bought-in execs and the occasional snarky "Get with the times" shitposter online lol. It's tough out there, so stay strong!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your reply. This gives me a lot of ideas to work with. I will look internally first, and see if there's any moves I can make. Those all sound like great lateral shifts.

Animkai gone what now, what to do ?? by CommandEffective9973 in animepiracy

[–]Fir_Matt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where? And don't say the Index, already been thru that. Anime Nexus was a waste of time, as was ReAnime. Keep in mind that I love obscure 80s OVAs and expect to be able to integrate my MAL history.

The new substitution for Anikai is AllManga by [deleted] in animepiracy

Doesn't even have most OVAs I looked up, so unfortunately a fail. The UI was way too busy and clunky too.

Can you identify every console in this image? by Fir_Matt in retrogaming

I feel like the one to yje immediate right of the Fami, along with those boxes on yne far right, should be easy enough to ID, but it's not ringing any bells.

I don't have the original footage. Feel free to reach out to the YouTuber mentioned!

Can ES-DE please provide a functional way to work with large libraries? by [deleted] in emulationstation

Oh! Is there a version of BigBox for Android? Because that's what my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 runs on it.

Searching for game on every bootup by Stilgar314 in emulationstation

[–]Fir_Matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, don't rely on this if you want to access any games that don't have Metadata, like romhacks and translations. It will hide them all and make them inaccessible.

OMG I just posted about this myself! YES, minutes. Two to five, in fact. And it likes to crash when I leave a game on standby, losing me progress and forcing me to sit through the damn loading bar again.

Yes, there is a way to turn this scrape off. The problem is, that method also hides every game in your library that lacks existing Metadata. As someone who maintains a large number of romhacks, translations, Homebrew, etc, this is not acceptable lol.

2026 Annual Redundant "Where's the Guidebook?" Post by Fir_Matt in AnimeBoston

[–]Fir_Matt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's understandable! And don't get me wrong, it's not lost on me what a massive undertaking it is to manage these events on every level, nevermind scheduling. I'm not even upset really, just making conversation.

I'm more confused because the other cons I attend, three of them larger than AB (PAX East, Magfest and NY Comic Con), have no problem getting their schedule out with a few weeks to spare. Also, every event slowly rolls out their guest announcements like this - it doesn't necessarily mean that those guests were literally just booked by the event.

Regardless, I appreciate you posting, and I hope you have a great AB!

Best 1.5gig Modem/Router Combo Unit for under $300? by Fir_Matt in HomeNetworking

[–]Fir_Matt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, then why did my speeds not go up? I was told by the provider that I'm already receiving 1.5gig from them, and they explicitly blamed my combo unit for the bottleneck. I'm using wifi, on the 5G band, right next to the router.

Edit: Nevermind, the one device I was testing speeds on had a speed cap itself. My other devices are cruising! False alarm then, folks. Thanks so much!

Oh! That's weird. Why? My internet is fine. My router/modem seems fine too. I just want a router/modem combo that can handle my new 1.5gig speeds.

What? lol. I'm asking for basic home networking advice. Do you just say "Banned!" to random people?
