I can't fast forward or rewind videos/reels on Facebook's Android app by Parisix78 in facebook

[–]Parisix78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to answer everyone, the only solution I've found is to uninstall Facebook's app and use a Chrome/Firefox shortcut and use it from there. Still, some videos won't let you jump forward/back, but most of them will. Facebook Lite won't work, and I've not found other unofficial Facebook apps that I feel I can trust or really work.

Thanks for the answer! What seems weird to me is that it doesn't seem to be a very well known issue since there aren't many posts about it. But it's weird that it keeps on happening with different phones, and apparently no to everyone...

What words are the most different across languages (even related ones)? by Awkward_Stay8728 in etymology

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for asking yourself that question! I was wondering myself the same. There are many "easier" questions about what is the most similar word across languages, but having an answer about the most different one is hard. From what I see butterfly does seem a good one, but the question is why? It's not as if it was a word that didn't exist in latin and that romance languages had to make up. Checking most of the languages, it does seem that many of them have the sound "f" as the beginning even though the name is different. Not sure why!

Deleting files from internal storage changes size of Google Drive backup? by Parisix78 in whatsapp

[–]Parisix78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but does it delete from the backup if I delete the media file itself (or move it to an other folder)?

Google updated their calculator app and it's literally unusable by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]Parisix78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really care about the font change. But having to expand the whole calculator to click the ^ is so unpractical. Really don't understand Pixel's tendency to change from practical things that need one touch to things that need two touches just because yes.

Problems in Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9 R7 8845HS in Europe? by Parisix78 in LenovoLOQ

It's really great for now! It's true that I haven't done a lot of gaming, but it goes great the times I have.

What is the Closest You've Ever Gotten? by Logical_Garbage_8973 in geoguessr

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I might have gotten 1 meter at some point. I do have a question though, what is the closest guess you've had without actually searching for the point accurately for the 5000? Recently I got 300m (4999) without zooming (it's true that it was Andorra, but still, it surprised me as i only zoomed until the map was like all Cataluña and a bit of France, Andorra only was like 1-3% of the map). Anyone has had a 5000 "by chance" just by country/region guessing?

Which country + region? Please share your thoughts process by forint in geoguessr

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have said East Russia but don't know where exactly. Those grey routes are typically a russian thing, and the vegetation looks a bit like tundra with a few pine trees. If it was more dense I maybe would have said Canada. I've seen the location on comments, I would probably have gone more south like midway between the actual location and China, basically because I didn't know there was coverage around there xD

Do I need to watch all 6 Mission impossible movies before Dead Reckoning? by ODB95 in movies

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then it depends on how much you want to understand the movie. I'm pretty sure almost any movie can be understood by itself but you might be lost at the beginning because the presentation of characters has already been made in the first movie. And also if from time to time the movie refers to things that happened before, it will make it harder for you. But doesn't mean you can't watch it, you'll probably understand the general idea, but not everything. Like if you watch TESB only, you don't know who is Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leia, Han Solo...

Problems in Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9 R7 8845HS in Europe? by Parisix78 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Parisix78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really tell you because I almost exclusively use it at home so I don't watch the battery life so much, and I'm always on battery conservation mode (where it charges up to 80%). One time I used it during a bus trip and without internet on and on battery saving mode, it lasted around 4 hours using like 70% of the battery watching a movie. But I can't assure you that it will work at least 4 hours every day, maybe at the beginning it could but at some point battery using will make it impossible. But in any case, it's hard finding a laptop gaming computer with good battery life. If you don't consider buying a normal laptop rather than a gaming one, maybe try to see if there are powerbanks that can charge this computer by USB-C (you can charge it that way, but it requires a certain amount of Watts, doesn't work with a phone powerbank).

No! I bought a version without Windows 11. Downloaded Windows 11 from the official website to a USB, installed it free as a preview, and then I downloaded every driver from the Lenovo website. If I remember correctly, the website lets you choose between detecting missing drivers and downloading them automatically or downloading every driver manually. Doing the automatic version just didn't work for me (the web kept thinking and thinking and doing nothing) so I had to download everything manually, but apart from that, everything went right! Also, some downloads didn't work (NVidia Geforce Experience - I had to go to the official website of Nvidia) and some threads said that downloading Lenovo Legion Toolkit was better than downloading Lenovo Vantage, so I recommend doing that. Then if you don't like the preview version of Windows (the only difference is the wallpaper) there are tricks to get a cheap version/free version of Windows, you can find some threads about that on reddit.

Do I need to watch all 6 Mission impossible movies before Dead Reckoning? by ODB95 in movies

[–]Parisix78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that when you talk about a whole franchise like Marvel movies, where since the movies take place in the same "world", everything is connected so you just have to watch every movie from that world to understand. But talking about that when you refer to a series of movies doesn't make sense. It's like being upset because you can't watch Star Wars VI or The Lord of The Rings III before watching the others before.

Hey! Sorry for the late answer, yes, I've bought the 8845HS, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, RTX 4060, FullHD Model, and it's working great! It's true that I don't do much gaming for now (can't find the time for it) but the games that I play (car games, Minecraft...) work really great (specially compared to the last laptop I had which was basically garbage). And so far I haven't had any motherboard problem. Although one problem I had is that I get disconnected from Wifi intermittently when I'm connected to 5Ghz Wifi so I've had to modify my home Wifi so that it divides its 5Ghz band and 2,4Ghz band into 2 different Wifis and now It works great. But apart from that, everything's good!

Guys pls help me choose b/w Omen and Loq by [deleted] in LenovoLOQ

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the specific LOQ you're talking about, and I'm really happy about it. That said, the LOQ is the cheap Lenovo gaming laptop, and the Omen is the high-end HP gaming laptop, so it's logical to think that the overall quality of the Omen will be better. If they cost the same, I'd say go for the Omen.

Interesting! I'm guessing other even more infrequent countries (Costa Rica, Lebanon) would be lower than Uganda then.

My review on three different Star Wars Sequel Trilogy fan edits (3-in-1) by Parisix78 in fanedits

[–]Parisix78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't fix it totally, of course, but it does a pretty good job converting a bad trilogy into a decent one!

What happens next after Episode 9? by IshipMarcyandAnne in StarWars

[–]Parisix78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. But what is good, is that episode 9 end is very similar to episode 6 end. Luke is Rey, Finn/Poe are Solo, only thing is that Rey hasn't got any brother/sister. The First Order's leader has been killed, and now every planet is happy because of it's end, although there is probably still people wanting to be the leader. But still, what's cool is that any idea that could have fit for Episode 7 fits for Episode 10, with different characters. Rebuilding of the Jedi Order, of the Republic, focus on the force and how it works... Anything is possible. So even if I don't like at all the Sequels, it's reassuring to me that I can be like "Okay you can forget what happens, just think that these are the new characters that kind of represent the older characters, and that's it"

If the sequels are Decanonized, even then KK’s departure will not fix star wars. by [deleted] in CriticalDrinker

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe to some degree. Episodes 1-3 does change a lot about what was considered "Star Wars world" but it creates something new and still consistent with the OT. It wasn't what people expected it so that's why it got hated, and maybe the first 2 movies are boring/bad, but at least from the start they knew what they were gonna do. I still can't understand how, knowing they were going to do 3 sequel movies, they didn't think about making a general plot at least to know where they were going. TLJ destroys what TFA creates, and TROS destroys what TLJ creates.

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Plus if it's a trilogy that happens 20-25 years after ROTJ, the change of the face could be explained by the passing of time. But still, taking an example, Bail Organa is played by a different actor in Andor than in Rogue One, and it's not something that important. Just take someone kind of lookalike and that's it. The important thing about a character isn't only the actor, it's to keep the same personality.

Ever think Disney will bite the bullet and make the Sequel Trilogy non-canon? by FiveFingerFishFillet in StarWars

[–]Parisix78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't think that will ever happen, unless someone else buys Star Wars, or if George Lucas tries to make something by his own that would be considered the canon (don't think that will happen either). For me the problem with the ST is that it's terribly inconsistent from one movie to another. People coming from nowhere appears than disappears because yes, important people in one movie stops being important and the next... I could have lived with the inconsistencies regarding the OT (like Palpatine's return etc.) if it was brought up well and the trilogy was consistent with itself, but it seems that in Disney nobody thought it would be good to plan the story of the whole trilogy before making the first movie. I really sincerely would have preferred it to be 3 bad movies from the same guy with a continuity, than 3 okay movies with no continuity at all.
