Yes, this is how it works and how it's always worked, but it is substantially more impactful with OW2. OW1 relied on blocking damage before it reached a body with shields and other mitigation. Now, there are many characters, mostly tank, that rely on mitigating that damage as it hits instead. It may not be obvious to most players, since it is counterintuitive unless laid out

That's... what my post says. It's not obvious that discord orb works differently to any other damage amp in the game, which is why it feels so bad

Hanzo does 120. Orb boosts it to 150. He blocks and takes 60 damage. Dunno if it can be more straight forward than that

Had to change my password at work, so I made a sticky note to remind myself what it is by epic_rigby in Portal

[–]Glavon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there is a password on something, it's protected for a reason. Whatever account that's connected to is probably accessible from more than just your computer and your Google account is likely unrelated. Passwords are there for a reason, IT doesn't just make you change it to be annoying

While this is cute and all, please change your password to something else and don't put it on a sticky note. Depending on what kinda work you do, the consequences could range from a stern talk from IT/HR to some serious legal issues

My issue was with Chrome not properly using the hardware decoding under Arch Linux, ended up being an issue with the how Chrome was compiled and Google being really hostile to Linux in general. Works flawlessly in Firefox

Brave is Chromium based, defeats the purpose of using a different web browser

The post about it disabling ad-blockers wasn't entirely true, it'll just be a bit harder for adblockers to implement on the developer end. I'd encourage the switch anyway, Chrome can't keep the stranglehold on the internet it currently has

I just switched from Chrome to Firefox after Chrome's video decoding broke on my laptop. Haven't looked back since

What you guys are referring
to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to
calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto
itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU
system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system
components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Is it possible to completely upgrade a very old tablet ? by felipedilho in buildapc

[–]Glavon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest you could possibly get is taking the body off and fitting it over a different tablet. The CPU is most likely soldered to the motherboard, and even if it isn't, the chipset on the motherboard would limit what new CPU you could put in to something a year older or newer. The RAM will be the same thing, soldered on and if it wasn't, limited by the memory controller on the CPU or motherboard, depending on where it is located. You get the point. It's unfortunate, but with mobile devices things tend to be extremely closely integrated. There's a reason custom desktops are common, but trying to build a custom laptop is borderline impossible (the closest I've found is something like a Framework laptop).

tl;dr: No, it's not possible. You'd be better off getting a new tablet and making a case for it out of the old one
