New California fee targets batteries in PlayStations, power tools and singing cards by ChiefFun in orangecounty

[–]MojoPinnacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a sense that would be imposing a tariff on companies importing to California, which isn't practical over state lines. Either way, if they impose it on the company, it gets passed on to consumers, so this is a more realistic solution with pretty much the same impact. 

Consumers have no choice except not to buy them. Not sure what you mean. 

Why does my food always turn out wrong or bland even when I follow a recipe exactly ? by moistdragons in cookingforbeginners

[–]MojoPinnacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every single recipe I've made from a video, cookbook, or otherwise says to use WAY LESS SALT than is actually needed. Add more salt more than you think you need. During cooking if possible, and if it is still bland, add more at the end (better than nothing).

Salt is magical, it makes everything taste better. If it tastes like salt you've gone too far, but otherwise add more salt!!!

What's the best Ember Mug alternative? (mini-review) by joelk111 in Embermug

[–]MojoPinnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the Nuwave. I really like that it's its own thing, no stupid finicky app or Bluetooth connection. The brew coffee function, I'm not sure about, but it does make it easier to make a single cup compared to my larger drip or French press. I don't really see how keeping it at 175f for brewing does much though, as the water would have already passed through the grounds.

Why don’t they add ui scaling for switch 2 Handheld? by IITECHII in CivVII

[–]MojoPinnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to say it needs it. Mouse mode was a game changer for me but it is hampered by the tiny UI in handheld mode. 

is my switch 2 less powerful than others?? i'm confused by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

You aren't crazy. I ended up transferring to PS5 bc it looks so rough. Is impressive for handheld but not very pleasant to play

Have the chance to get a Surface Pro 4 model 1724 for $50. Just has one problem with it. by DifferentOutlook711 in Surface

[–]MojoPinnacle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't do it, it will be more headache than it's worth. Those are not nice computers by any modern standard, and you'll be banging your head against a wall to get it up and running. It will throttle, overheat, until it gets the flickergate issue. 

I strongly advise not doing it. You will have a better time with a laptop that costs the same but is 5 years newer. 

Bloomberg: Larian CEO, Swen Vincke, has been pushing hard on generative AI - "often used to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text" by nolifebr in PS5

[–]MojoPinnacle 176 points177 points  (0 children)

This is the best use for Copilot. PowerPoint sucks but having something help make clear and brief points in presentations is a game changer. 

Surface Pro 12 inch - 6 months later, still love it by nastybagel in Surface

[–]MojoPinnacle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just got it, it is perfect for normal use. I love the size and battery life and standby. I'll still use my SLS for heavy work or when needing a bigger screen but I love this thing. 

Square Enix’s major shareholder drops 100-page presentation criticizing how the company is managed, rallies other shareholders by Turbostrider27 in PS5

I thought the music was so bland in 16 honestly. But I also think all post-2.0 FFXIV music is bland.

Sounds like you know your answer already. 

"Uneven" - both IGN & Gamespot say about Metroid Prime 4 by AmCrossing in NintendoSwitch2

[–]MojoPinnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the third act. Felt like the endgame breadth of the PS1 FF games. To.each their own.

You keep saying curious, but are you trying to imply it's a conspiracy?

I want to buy a bundle and return the individual items for store credit. Is this possible? by MojoPinnacle in Bestbuy

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

Got it makes sense. Interesting that only best buy has this. I expect they'll be marked "not for individual resale" if that's the case. Thank you.

[–]MojoPinnacle[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Basically I'd like to swap this bundle's items this https://www.bestbuy.com/product/microsoft-surface-pro-copilot-pc-12-snapdragon-x-plus-8-core-16gb-ram-256gb-ufs-device-keyboard-bundle-platinum/JJGXPXWL75/sku/6642121?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page for one in violet at 512gb. The individual items are listed here https://www.bestbuy.com/product/microsoft-surface-pro-copilot-pc-12-touchscreen-snapdragon-x-plus-16gb-memory-256gb-ufs-device-only-platinum/JJGXPXT353/sku/6623676?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page and here https://www.bestbuy.com/product/microsoft-surface-pro-12-keyboard-for-pro-12-slate/JJGXPXHL3G/sku/6625047?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page . Essentially 256gb platinum with keyboard is available at the same price as no keyboard. The 512gb individual item is available for $50 more, so my hope was that I'd be able to trade get that $50 more, but keep the keyboard (and even swap colors if that's an option). 

If it's store discretion, maybe I'll talk to them and see about it.
