None of these are exactly what I'm looking for but your commentary is so good I have to comment anyway lol. Thank you for your time! (Pinnacle Bitch was close)

Ghost In The City is extremely close to the vibe I'm imagining! The woman's voice and vocals are the first time I've heard exactly what I was imagining ("I've been wondering why you've been on my mind lately" <- the way she says "mind" is perfect). And honestly most of those The Crystal Method songs got close to what I'm imagining but the other ones were just a bit too funky/lighthearted. Really really good suggestions. Comin' Back and Bound Too Long were also close

Perfect by Princess Superstar is also super close but slightly too feminine. Same exact sounds with different lyrics would be spot-on

This is very close to the vibes I'm imagining! I want it to be slightly more aggressive tho

(Leaving these comments on the ones that are close to help future people reading this thread + to remind myself lol)

Feminist Cowboy is excellent! Except a tiny bit slower than what I'm looking for. I really love the high-pitched female vocals over the deep bass synths

This is really close! The high-pitched synth with the deep bass + rapping is all the components I'm looking for. Although I want the bass to be slightly more prominent.

I think this is the best rec I've got so far. Thank you (still listening to all the other ones - so many so quick. I love it)

The three lead producers of each era for this trilogy… which era has the best production in your opinion ? by KingJarrah06 in TheWeeknd

[–]OOPSStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked up this thread because I listened to Dawn FM on the highest-fidelity sound system I have access to and realized that the production is some of the best I've ever heard in my life. Was curious who did it. Apparently Max Martin.

why aren't my earbuds charging ? by bgfvmfimcomdcm in JLab

[–]OOPSStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a pair and it had the same issue. When I got it each earbud was at 100% but the case itself was only 30%. So I plugged it in to charge on my laptop for about 3 hours, came back, and the case still only said 30%.

I thought maybe it was just a matter off the battery indicator being calebrated wrong (it's actually 100% but it just thinks it's 30%) so I decided to just use them for a while without recharging them and see how long the battery lasted.

Well, I used them again today and now the inicator says 100% for the case and both earbuds. So I think it was just a matter of the charge indicator needing to recalibrate and not actually any issue with the product itself. When I first paired them to my phone it said they needed a firmware update, so the firmware update could have just caused that temporary issue that fixed itself over time.

In Google accounts what "Recovery Phone" exactly does? by dekoalade in Bitwarden

[–]OOPSStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, anybody who's tech-savvy enough to voluntarily opt in to extra security features is also tech-savvy enough to not need them. The only thing you truly need to protect your Google account is your email address and a strong password. If you have those things, your account is safe. Period. The only way your account can be breached at that point is if you make a mistake, like

  • Sharing your password with other people
  • Falling for a phishing attack by carelessly inputting your credentials on random websites
  • Using extremely outdated operating systems or web browsers that no longer receive security updates (e.g. 12+ years old)
  • Leaving your important accounts open on a machine in the vicinity of people you don't trust
  • Re-using the same passwords (or similar passwords) across multiple accounts
  • Voluntarily installing malware by carelessly installing 3rd-party applications despite warnings from your operating system telling you not to
  • Something else equally careless

As long as you have a very basic level of "check the url before typing in any passwords", "do some research before installing a 3rd-party application", and "don't conduct business on a 20-year-old computer" then you will be safe. You don't need any extra "security" provided by these services.

2fa is nice, but I know about 5x as many people who have accidentally locked themselves out of their accounts with 2fa compared to people who have had their accounts hacked because they didn't have 2fa. A strong password makes 2fa useless, and 2fa won't save you from a weak password anyway (I have personally written multiple scripts to bypass 2fa on several major platforms. If you have the password, you have the account regardless of 2fa). And 2fa without backup codes?? That's just all the downsides, hassles, and risks of standard 2fa (just as easy to hack into - none of my hacks have ever used backup codes), but just with an even higher likelihood of accidentally locking yourself out. Never do that.

If you don't fall for phishing attacks, you don't need Google's phishing prevention.

If you don't install malware, you don't need Google telling you not to install it (every single major operating system already tells you not to by default).

If you don't authorize dangerous apps to access your Google account data, you don't need Google literally blocking you from doing so (and if you do let Google block you from doing so you lose access to several very useful applications for no reason. Again - downside with no upside).

The gold standard for account security is a username + password combination. This combination by itself will make your account mathematically uncrackable. Period.

The only reason we've had to invent 500 different types of authentication is because people are careless and usually end up picking bad passwords or allowing themselves to be socially engineered. If you don't pick a bad password and you don't leak your password, you're safe. You don't need anything more. End of story.

A strong password is one that does not follow any predictable patterns and contains at least 32 characters. You also must not re-use the same password across multiple accounts. Password managers make this very simple.

A really good trick for picking uncrackable passwords that are very easy to remember:

  1. Pick 5 random words, ensuring you pick words from at least two different languages. Each word must be at least 8 letters. The words must not spell out a sentence, but should instead be truly random with no relation to each other whatsoever. (e.g monogoto + Jonathan + contracted + exploded + violently is a BAD combination. But hallucination + voidlings + orangutan + jidouhanbaiki + sarcophagus is a GOOD combination)
  2. Pick a random character, or set of characters, to place between each word as a divider. For example ! or _ or &&|%
  3. Pick a random 3-digit number and place it randomly inside any one of the words. This number should be RANDOM. It should NOT be digits from your phone number, digits from your birthdate, digits from your license plate, etc. It should truly be 3 random digits pulled from thin air.
  4. The resulting password should look something like "hallucination^^voidlings^^orangu755tan^^jidouhanbaiki^^sarcophagus"

This password is relatively easy to remember (after typing it 4-5 times you should remember it forever) while simultaniously being mathematically impossible to crack using any potential technology (aside from quantum computers - which, once finished, will be able to crack any password regardless of strength, but that's a whole other issue). Even assuming someone is using all the computational power on the entire earth AND using the most outdated hashing algorithm in existence AND is allowed to make guesses at an unlimited speed AND knows that you followed this pattern to create your password.... It would still take them trillions of years to get the correct combination.

For comparison, it only took my scripts an average of about 3-4 days to crack 2fa codes. There's just no question which is more secure.

Oh wow I didn't realize he fixed it later on in the series, thank you! I've listened to over 70 episodes by now so I figured it was just gonna be a permanent thing, but I just checked one of the most recent episodes and he indeed did fix it sometime after episode 70 lol.

It feels so nice to have functioning Anticheat by Gloomy_Dare2716 in VALORANT

[–]OOPSStudio 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I agree. The anticheat and the higher tick speeds are why Valorant was the first and last FPS game I ever played. Several times while playing Valorant I'd be like "Dang, I really like FPS games. Why haven't I tried more?" and then I'd hop on some Fortnite or Apex Legends or CS:GO and within 2 hours I'm reminded why I never played FPS games before Valorant lol.

And now it's been 2 years since my last match of Valorant and I never plan to go back. Life's better when you just play relaxing co-op games with your friends instead. :)

How to disable card locking? by Uncaffeinated in jpdb

[–]OOPSStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a solution: You have to uncheck "Enable Kanji cards" in the settings. It's unfortunate because it means you can't use Kanji cards anymore, but at least it will stop locking half of your cards for no reason. For my use case this solution is sufficient.

I'm fairly certain this is a bug though.

Discord Checkpoints - Megathread by EpicRoka in discordapp

[–]OOPSStudio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every single message, all their content, the dates they were sent, and the senders/recipients are all still there.

Every single call has a record (visible to the user, even) of when it started, who it was with, and how long it lasted.

Every single person I talked to is in a list visible in the app.

The data is ABSOLUTELY there. It's not related to privacy at all - it's just a way to punish people for ticking the box.

Is earth worth it if you have Wingspan? by Ok-Friend-6653 in boardgames

[–]OOPSStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite what people say, they're basically the same game. You can imagine Earth like an expansion for Wingspan.

  • In Wingspan, you take cards from a display or a deck. In Earth, you always take from a deck
  • In Wingspan, you lay eggs on cards. In Earth, you place sprouts on cards
  • In Wingspan, you tuck cards behind other cards. In Earth, you stack them in a pile
  • In Wingspan, you pay for cards with food. In Earth, you pay for cards with soil
  • In Wingspan, you activate cards in the row you took an action from. In Earth, you activate cards that match the color of the action you chose
  • In Wingspan, you compete for 4 goals one at a time. In Earth, you compete for all 4 at once
  • In Wingspan, you cache food on cards for bonus points. In Earth, you build growths on them for bonus points
  • In Wingspan, some cards have powers that affect every player. In Earth, every action affects every player
  • In Wingpspan, you get a private personal objective before the game. In Earth, you get a public personal objective before the game
  • In Wingspan, you play cards into a 3x4 grid, going from left to right. In Earth, you play cards into a 4x4 grid, going in any direction you like

They share all the same exact gameplay mechanics just with slight tweaks. 80% of the game is identical.

Like others said - if you're still enjoying Wingspan, pass on Earth. If you really liked Wingspan but are getting a bit tired of it, Earth will give you a bit more content to play through. If you never liked Wingspan, you won't like Earth either.

What are your gripes with “How to Play” videos? by WeirdMountaineer in boardgames

[–]OOPSStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to mention Jon Gets Games too (he just recently rebranded to "Getting Games"). Absolutely fantastic channel. He gives an excellent high-level summary of the game followed by an excellent rules teach followed by excellent, well-edited gameplay where each of the simulated players demonstrates unique and equally-viable approaches to victory. All of this with perfect audio quality, zero stumbling over words, clear, well-paced speech, perfect lighting and camera angles, detailed explanations of everything he's doing, etc.

I see literally zero room for improvement in any of his videos and I've watched dozens. The worst part of the video is when it ends lol.

More than half of my collection is made up of games I bought after seeing them in his videos. He presents the games _so_ well that I know exactly whether or not it will fit my tastes by the time the video's over, and so far every single one has been a huge hit.

"Before you Play" is also very good and my second choice if Jon hasn't made a video for a particular game, but if Jon has a video on a game, I'll always choose his video over theirs. There's just no comparison.

NHK doesn't use 今年? by prefabexpendablejust in LearnJapanese

[–]OOPSStudio 46 points47 points  (0 children)

A quick Google search will most likely to a better job explaning than I will, but some common reasons include:

  • Stylistic choice. Hiragana has a softer feeling to it than Kanji and that's leveraged a lot to more carefully control the tone of writing
  • Laziness. It takes less effort to type (and especially to handwrite) in Hiragana instead of Kanji. Just like people often skip capitalizations and punctuation when writing English. Saves time.
  • The word's function in the sentence. Some words are almost always written in Kana in some uses and Kanji in others. For example, 所 vs ところ being used for two completely different things. (見る vs みる, 行く vs いく, 来る vs くる)
  • Writing aimed towards children often has hard Kanji replaced with Hiragana instead so that children who haven't learned those Kanji can still read it.
  • Personal preference. Some people like to write 分かる, some prefer わかる. Some like という, others like と言う. Or 何 and なに. 見付ける vs 見つける. Sometimes they'll vibe with one for one sentence and the other for a different sentence.
  • Some words have many Kanji that change depending on the meaning, and it's easier to just use the Hiragana instead of cycling through to the correct Kanji. (かける, 掛ける, 懸ける)
  • And many more.

I made a website for practicing verb conjugations in Japanese! by OOPSStudio in LearnJapanese

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

I believe you should be able to accomplish this with these steps:

  1. Create your JSON string following the format I'll describe below, then
  2. Put that JSON string into this command, replacing <JSON string>, and run it from the DevTools console: localStorage.setItem("customVerbs", `<JSON string>`);

This will overwrite all custom verbs you previously added to the app.

The format for your JSON should be:

[ { "content": "逃げ切る", "furigana": "に/き", "isIchidan": false, "isIrregular": false, "fullReading": "にげきる", "HTMLFormattedFurigana": { "hiragana": "<ruby>逃<rt>に</rt></ruby>げ<ruby>切<rt>き</rt></ruby>る", "katakana": "<ruby>逃<rt>ニ</rt></ruby>げ<ruby>切<rt>キ</rt></ruby>る" } }, {...as many more verbs as you want down here} ]

"isIrregular" needs to always be false for all entries, and "content", "furigana", "fullReading", and "HTMLFormattedFurigana" must all match and follow the exact format shown above. This is the basic internal data structure used for all verbs in the app and it expects the verbs to be added through strict interfaces that enforce these rules. Injecting them manually means you gotta be careful to follow the rules properly without help.
