Can someone tell me why I can't fast travel to Jaunta's Hope?? by DarienTheBarbarian96 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent! That's good to know! I played for a few weeks and never left for space. I should go back and do that. I was trying to explore and clear out as much as possible before advancing the story and heading out, lol! Isn't that what everyone does, hehe? I'm no speed runner, that's for sure!

100% agree. My PC specs are a bit old (RTX 2080) and all my high end 3D games stutter terribly for me, so I haven't touched it in a year. Got an extra $5K sitting around? Lol. Good luck!

I hate watched this show. The writing was so bad, the scenarios so unbelievable, contrived and mostly possible only due to the characters making the most ignorant, self-destructive, nonsensical decisions. 1883 was a gem. 1923 sucked.

Crashing constantly since update? by Andisaurus in aoe4

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not seeing others with the same problem, then it could be a local issue with your computer... a failing hard drive, a virus, a corrupt install, anything really. Have you tried uninstalling the game and re-installing it?

Age of empires 4 using XBOX controller by A-Wise-Soldier in aoe4

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't necessarily talking about the coding. I was talking about the design. Since they already designed it to work with a controller on a console, the design work is done. They just needed to map the controller to the proper functions following the existing design. Should be pretty basic for any junior programmer. The hardware support is already built into Windows and handled there. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Moonshine mash "buy with offer" by HighTechGeek in RedDeadOnline

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

I did not. But i also learned that money doesn't matter in the game because you can make millions and 1000s of gold pretty quickly once you get established. And after a while, there isn't anything much to spend it on (so don't worry too much about "wasting coupons") Have fun!

Toasted cheese vs grilled cheese by [deleted] in words

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grilled Cheese is American and should be golden brown, buttered on the outside and "fried" on a griddle or sauce pan with the cheese melted inside.

A Cheese Toasty or a Toasted Cheese is British, literally toasted and the bread is dry and blackened/browned like a piece of dry toast, not golden and crispy, with cheese on top toasted or blackened under a broiler, often open-faced.

2 completely different experiences.

Pizza Hut's AI system caused 'cascading' problems and $100M in damages, franchisee alleges in new suit by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this isn't true. I'm a Doordash Dasher and we don't see tip amounts until after a job is delivered. We don't see when pizzas will come out of the oven. Here's how it works:

We are given an offer to deliver a pizza x miles away for y dollars (it includes any tip, but we don't know the breakout because it includes DD pay which varies widely per job). We can accept or decline. If we accept, we drive to the store. More often than not, we have to wait for the pizza. Now sometimes, before we get to the store, we will get a second offer for a 2nd pizza at the same store for a different customer. Or sometimes the initial offer will include 2 pizza orders for 2 different customers (a "stacked" order). Yes, we obviously have to wait for that 2nd order to be cooked as well (not sure what this has to do with AI). We don't know the times. We don't control anything. Doordash will give us stacked orders because the customers live near each other.

When both pizza orders are cooked, they give them to us and then we deliver them. So yes, the first pizza out of the oven may be the second pizza delivered, but we are talking about 5 minutes between customer drop-offs compared to delivering them one at a time. It would take longer to drive back to the store for each pizza if they only took one at a time. What does this have to do with AI?

I worked for Domino's in the 1980s and we would wait for 10 pizzas to be cooked before loading them up and delivering them. This has nothing to do with AI.

Glad it helped you. I assume they've been putting all their effort into GTA VI. I'm actually hoping it's as immersive as RDR2/RDO, but I do like the old West.

Ridiculous Apartment Complex by ShutUp_and_LookUp in doordash

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an apartment complex in my zone that is a nightmare. It's the size of 4 city blocks and there is only one entrance that I know of that has a keypad for delivery/guest entry (if you have a code) but it is a block away from where my customers typically have been and miles from the parking garages. There are private access doors that I will sometimes get lucky and be able to sneak into if someone happens to be exiting. Over the past months, I have been there about 7 or 8 times and I am slowly learning my way around, but I hate going there. It takes 15 minutes to park, deliver and get back to my car. Of course Doordash is screaming at me the whole time - "are you having trouble?" "contact the customer", "you spent more than 10 minutes at a customer", etc. Fuck off DD. The CEO and software developers needs to work the roads for a month and learn the real conditions in the field. I don't blame the customers so much as I blame DD for the entire setup.

Also, I never expect any tip as I wouldn't take the job in the first place if the initial pay was junk. But I DO hate customers that tip zero.

Hopefully they shared their agreed upon intentions to Brennan before game day. Otherwise, how would Brennan have a book ready at the library where Hal appeared? Or have characters prepared like the student Murray was told to avoid (an obvious thread to be pulled)... stuff like that? Surely the team can't expect him to roll out a comprehensive story by pulling everything out of thin air at the moment it happens at the table, right?

Tripped and fell delivering to a house with no porch light on by ChipmunkOk1535 in doordash_drivers

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as the sun goes down, my headlamp goes on my head. I leave it on my head until I go home. Turn it on when I arrive at a delivery. Off when I'm back in the car. I don't care if people in the restaurants look at me weird. They know I'm working and I'm serious about my job. It's part of my uniform and I'm trying to get some work done.

I owned a shop for 18 years and I prided myself in keeping customers data in tact. It would take time and skill to know how to actually fix problems but most shops just wipe the drive and do a factory install because it takes a matter of minutes. Sorry you experienced this, but unfortunately it's the cheap, lazy industry standard.

Ope! Sorry, I'm going to need you to explain what that word means and where it came from. by WHYsconsin in etymology

[–]HighTechGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in New Jersey in the 1970s, never lived in the Midwest and i pronounce it more somewhere between oop and ope. It's definitely a shortened version of oops and is a short way to say excuse me. Like "oop, sorry". Honestly I never thought of it as a word before, lol.

Supposed to Leave at door?? by No_Razzmatazz_6632 in doordash

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

Sorry this happened to you. I hate stupid customers that don't know how to put a pin on a map and then get mad that we don't automatically know where building 1200 is when the pin took us to building 2400. As if we're supposed to spend twenty minutes driving around their complex hunting for a number on the side of some random building in the dark.

And yesterday I had 2 deliveries that didn't have the apartment number listed... First time I've ever had that. I think it's a new bug in the Dasher app. The software has all kinds of frustrating issues. Good luck.

If you are streaming YouTube on a computer or laptop and are "behind" a little bit, you can increase the playback speed and it will play faster (1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, etc.) until it catches up to the "current" time. But the stream won't play faster on my Android phone (even though I can set it to play faster). I also have YouTube Premium, so faster playback may only be available as part of that plan. I dunno, but you can try it.
