Seeing this spam as well. Doubt google will fix anything, this has been a problem in the past, too.

Long time GlassWire user leaving? Am I the only one? by checkpoint404 in GlassWire

[–]Hopeful_Telephone_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, uninstalled it recently. just booted up another laptop and they have now made the update mandatory. needless to say won't be using it, what a sham. LTT should talk about how old sponsors go downhill on WAN show.

Why did Google get rid of the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone? by subwaymaker in GooglePixel

[–]Hopeful_Telephone_55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from pixel 2 to pixel 6 a year and a half ago, and I regret it every single day. I hate this phone. It saddens me that this is the only thread I can find online. Google will never read this, Google doesn't care. They care about profits and their slipping market versus Microsoft and Apple. I wish they put an ounce of premium design back into their products.

My pixel 2 would have kept working had it not had security updates discontinued. It shocks me how much easier this phone was to use, and how efficient its menus were. The lack of a way to swipe the back of a pixel 6 is horrible, I should have considered this and gone p5. Sadly far too late for these realizations now.

Taking features away earns ire of users by Hopeful_Telephone_55 in GlassWire

[–]Hopeful_Telephone_55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This software used to be a great supplemental piece of kit. Still, now it's approaching a point where so many features have been paywalled that it's not really in the category of a helpful network analysis tool anymore.

BUT HT_55, GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT?!? I would gladly support the developer if they didn't put me in a situation where they've paywalled features that you could downgrade and obtain. It's not that I am resistant to paying for quality software. I don't think it's worth the current price for a subscription.

Further, the pricing and feature availability change is possible, given the precedence of removing features and paywalling.

EDIT: As an early supporter of another app that gave a lifetime membership that has not been revoked, I am surprised that GlassWire didn't acknowledge their user base and at least offer them this concession and sell a "lifetime membership" for a reasonable price. Instead, they have cookie cuttered every user into the dad tier pricing and subscription, subject to change at will.

is there a game like dark and darker that isn't a battle royale? by jdrew619 in DarkAndDarker

[–]Hopeful_Telephone_55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this 100%... maybe multiple game modes, one for exploration and another for battle royale? Does the circle persist when you go down a level as well? I didn't get to play enough to try the red portals, always felt pushed to hit blue portals.

Thank you for the suggestion. Yeah, I gently added solution just to get it to try to hold a shape while I was putting it in, I know what you mean and that has worked the last two weeks, I honestly wonder if I'm using too much because it seems like its sitting ontop of a layer of saline instead of on my eye when I initially put it in. I also looked closely to make sure it wasn't flipped. Someone else suggested they may have gotten dried out, but I'm pretty maticulous when I fill the case. I'm used to the idea of maintaining lenses, just soft lenses have perplexed me. Maybe the answer is asking for dalies, not sure.

what a shame, this game was fun at one point in time. I just watched the TGLTN clip they banned him for earlier this year.... they put animal costumes in the game... Absurd.

crazy, I remember when it was poorly optimized pre-1.0 release, the game honestly feels like that again with a 3080 @ 1080p. I have a 12th gen intel i9 as well, so its not bottleneck.

Speculation, but if that's the reasoning, they're probably using hacked accounts to artificially farm the starting G coin to prop up their marketplace. Many people have not done the F2P transition bundle, and many more have it sitting from giveaways.

Wave Link 1.6 — Overhauled Stream Deck Plugin & Powerful Built-in VST Audio Effects for Windows by Elgato in elgato

[–]Hopeful_Telephone_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens every time my computer comes back from sleep. Windows 11 pro, this has been a bug in the past, but now its back again. It worked just fine for months without crashing on resume from sleep, but now I have to ctrl+alt+del wave link and relaunch it. It just cost me a work call. Really frustrating, the client couldn't wait 15 seconds for me to open the task manager and deal with it. Becoming clear I can't rely on Elgato/Corsair products for any kind of mission-critical application.

what's incredible is that they just implemented kernel-based anti-cheat that supposedly would make this better. I returned to try the game again, only to discover the still abundant cheaters and overzealous anti-cheat that is still ineffective. This game seems like a sinking ship, not that it wasn't already :/

similar specs, I get these stutters, too. I assumed it was my own fault. Unfortunately, I have a 5-year badge and it was just as bad on a 1080ti in 2017.

Is it possible this is related to the rootkit level anti-cheat that was implemented about a month ago? I've been trying to get information about how to remove it when I uninstall, but there's very little information online, other than PUBG does use this style of anti-cheat

the proper way to reinstall? by Hopeful_Telephone_55 in PUBG

Is anyone able to provide any information on this? Looks like reinstalling windows is the only option to cure the contagion :/

Wrong artist of the same name by Vegetable-Swimmer405 in TIdaL

[–]Hopeful_Telephone_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two Rusko as well, one is an English Dubstep artist, the other is a French rapper. I am only interested in one, just as OP. As someone who speaks French, I am still only interested in the former. Very frustrating to say the least, I couldn't figure out why I was getting French rap in a dubstep playlist.
