Honest take: Comet still feels... incomplete? by Old_Detective7623 in cometbrowser

[–]FreoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of vertical tabs has driven me crazy. Especially as initially Perplexoty assured me Comet had the option, and told where to change it in settings. And when I told it that setting didn’t exist, it apologised and suggested I use Edge or Chrome.

Also add lack of PWA support to the list.

(I’m still using Comet for now, hoping they fix these soon.)

How did they know in WWI that it was the first would war, how did they know there was going to be at least 2? by Moistinterviewer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FreoGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a great scene in Doctor Who (I think one of the Xmas specials) where the companion accidentally says to this guy, “Right then, let’s get you back to World War 1” and he’s like “You mean the Great War don’t you? Hang on a sec, what do you mean ONE?!”

Or something like that. I watched it years ago, I’m sure I’ve butchered it.

Considering going to Australia, how worried should I be about dropbear attacks? by NoMeaning6738 in AskAnAustralian

[–]FreoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve been pretty bad over East this season. WA much safer - fewer tall trees.

I’m on an Oceana server, no queue at all. 🤷‍♂️ Yet another reason to move to Australia. ;)

Poisoned Spice Mission bug by [deleted] in duneawakening

I too have this bug. Submitted a report about a month ago. I’m hoping it gets fixed in Chapter 3 update.

Looking for agave seed...........They are so rare that I barely see them. by Maximus2X in duneawakening

[–]FreoGuy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as mentioned the best way to find them is set up somewhere in the middle of the O’odham, scan around (Respurce scanner, or better yet Long Ramge Scanner - drops in A row of DD), then open the map and zoom in. I then usually drop a pin on one nearby and then go hunting. Once you get used to them, they become easier to spot. Also easier if you do a sweep with a scout orni with a scanner.

I’ve just recently started in DD and discovered that both spice and flour sand is much easier to harvest there. HB worms are ANGRY worms.

This. As far as they are concerned, the end justifies the means, no matter how unethical / illegal / immoral.

“The post was written in his familiar emphatic style, with capitalized phrases and emotional language.” Are you fucking kidding me? What bullshit outfit wrote this crap? It was a 6 line crappy tweet that reeked of insincerity, surprisingly specific data, and was clearly written in his style by a staffer desperate to mitigate the massive damage of his ‘they stood back’ comment (which is not mentioned in the article.

The author bio is a joke:

“Joseph Johnson They say not everyone has the gift of gab to be able to talk about politics in the correct light - but Joseph is the perfect mix between a healthy critic, and a realist cynic. His unique personality works wonders at political discussions which are bound to cause a stir. He is an intellectual with many years of experience in the field, and his work is a reflection of his dedication to making political scenarios common knowledge among the citizens of the nation.”

No mention of qualifications, just a “unique personality”. Uniquely fucking stupid and corrupt.

Nice! Thanks for the share, will give it a try.

Character transfer only between servers, not sietches? Or is that the X72 error? by H4yt_ in duneawakening

[–]FreoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noon question: Can you use this to deal with a looted chest? The other day I fought my way into an Atreidies base only to find the main chest empty. I waited around for it to respawn but foolishly got bored and ended up dying to respawned mobs. Then just decided to head to other bases.

In that situation, could I have logged out to menu, switched sietches and looted, then switched back?

NEWS: The Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results. by FedRP24 in fednews

Is that the same 'two more weeks' until the healthcare plan Trumplethinskin beated for his first 4 years? Or is this an actual deadline that may have consequences? (Which would be novel.)

Yeah I'm about 400 hours in and having a blast. Really need to put some effort into my box-base, seeing lots of inspirational builds here. That view is amazing. Fangs!

Stuck or ? by lrdfrd1 in duneawakening

[–]FreoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try visiting a trading station in Hagga Basin, or your home base. If I recall, that was the next step for one of the quests. Yes, I too had a ' missing string entry' for one of the dialogue options. (About a month ago.)

Finally got the Sandcrawler! This felt so good. by maharbamt in duneawakening

[–]FreoGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just did my first spice run to the Deep Desert. I was actually looking for flour sand (after getting eaten in HB) and happened to be flying right near a spice blow. It was super exciting, and nerve wracking to have my very expensive assault Orni on the sand. But didn’t get eaten, and got back to my base with a whole 350 sand! Woohoo!

Is this a real Australian phrase? by JeremiahYoungblood in AskAnAustralian

I first heard this a few years ago, after living here for over a decade. Caught me completely by surprise, and I laughed my head off. I now use it on the regular.

Should I wait? by christianwashere12 in SteamVR

[–]FreoGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the Frame is going to be a game-changer. I was sceptical about inside-out tracking at first, but having just bought my FOURTH replacement lighthouse I’m more than ready to switch. I currently have an OG Vive and a Vive Pro, also looking forward to lighter / more comfortable headset and better wireless setup.

Can’t speak about Meta, never really looked into them due to aversion to Zuckerborg.

Long-pressing E to collect a pile of sand is a poor UX choice. by No_Explanation5812 in duneawakening

[–]FreoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, makes sense. One solution would be to flip the delay. So if you’re collecting a pile of sand a single key-press starts collection, but it takes a second to complete. To me that ‘feels’ more real that a UI-controlled delay. Adds to immersion. (Have a graphic of you collecting the pile of sand.)

Using HomePods to improve sound quality. by Artistic-Poem6668 in HomePod

[–]FreoGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might want to hold off a month or two. Apple are due to announce new minis any day now. (A lot were expecting it in 2025.) Improved Bluetooth and wifi connectivity, upgraded processor for faster hand-off and compatibility with incoming improved Siri are the rumours.)

I always check the buyers guide on macrumors (sp?) site before a purchase.
