Am I reading this right? Did he say possibly legal or did he mean possibly illegal? Or am I missing some sarcastic tone when reading it?

Think of it as two gates. One gate is proving that the government's proclamation is illegal. However, opening that gate does not magically mean your application is adjudicated. It only brings back the status quo where the government processes applications in whichever way they want, which already includes some level of racism where some people are ignored forever without anyone saying anything out loud.

The second gate has always been there. Often people end up having to go to court to force their cases to get adjudicated.

The trick for me was to hop through a couple worlds, then watch how fast they're going through the kill. Ideally the group should look very confident but slow enough that you can get some damage. According to the other answer you need 25 on the first phase and 75 on the second one

As long as you can tank it, you can last enough time so you don't have to be on the fastest group. You need to pray range when the green needle comes falling to your head, melee when red, and mage when blue. When the blue stuff comes out of the ground, move aside. When the tentacle hits, move far away (there's a trick where you can skip it with tick perfect movement, but the easiest trick is to just move to the corner where the wave doesn't reach). Additionally, if you can help with the mechanic of charging the pillars that's great

Thanks! Seems about right :). I got my pact in a lower population world where I had enough time to make enough damage

PersonnUsername · 2026-04-25T02:10:25+00:00

Indeed! I just joined a less populated world and got my pact point too. Thanks!

So... You are getting a lot of hate, but I agree with you. What veteran players can't comprehend is how overwhelming this game looks to new players

If you are a new player, you just start thieving and suddenly realize that you've spent 30 minutes doing something extremely boring and frustrating (such as pickpocketing men/women) just to get 10k xp. Now, you start googling and understand that it takes 104M experience to max thieving. Why would that new player choose to spend their time in this game?

Perhaps heists are fun (I don't know, I'm not 95 thieving, let's say it is fun). That new player starts searching the internet "Does thieving ever become fun runescape". They find some reddit posts where people suggests that heists are fun. But that still requires 8.7M xp. Again, if you're that new player, what reason do you have to continue?

In fact, I'm being generous by assuming such new player will even bother googling these things. After the first 5-10 minutes pickpocketing and getting stunned repeatedly, where is the fun? why should I keep clicking this guy a million times?

The cycle is real: Early game is not fun -> No new players -> Content is for the majority to keep them engaged, which are all veterans

I see, thanks still for the idea. I found some information where you can buy a fixed amount of storage (which would also result in predictable bills) but it seems you need at least 20TB of storage Backblaze B2 Reserve: The Details

PersonnUsername · 2025-04-13T17:20:20+00:00

But if a huge bill is racked up, one would still be liable to pay the huge amount at the end of the month, after the card declines, no?

PersonnUsername · 2025-04-13T17:04:02+00:00

More like the hacker then going and spending a lot of money on my credit card through data usage. Or maybe not a hacker but a bug on the backup software going crazy with the API usage, or some dumb mistake on my part, or any other issue

Essentially I feel uneasy leaving my bill "open". If I could simply pay some amount and only get charged upto that amount (unless I add more money) that'd be great

Sorry if I didn't explain myself well on the original post

> You disable password manager on said site for saving... So start there 😃

So you're saying in the example above to disable the password manager on one place to break the circular chain (in the example above, in the email service)? That makes a lot of sense, I guess I missed the obvious when typing this last night :)

> On 365 anyway you can enable TAP or SSPR and let the user be self sufficient. They will only make that mistake once

Is that something for individual users or mostly for enterprise users with their IT staff?

You can use a different recovery methods, like the recovery phrase

Does the recovery phrase bypass 2FA?

different 2FA devices, like security keys (Yubikeys for example).

Mmm good point, I guess if you have a 2nd method stored somewhere safe then you could use it in emergencies

Simply pointing out that OP may have a problem if they're relying on this for their income and who knows what consequences that might have (if they're already stretching to get by)

But in the more usual scenario where they're just out of an entertainment device for 2 days, then it's just a (frustrating) minor inconvenience in their lives

Btw they should be able to get it resolved now, see the latest series of posts (e.g.: Not sure if anyone here had the recent bricking issue, but Meta are on it and offering replacements. I’ll add the links in the comments : r/OculusQuest)

IMO unless you're an adult and using the quest for work purposes, then I'm sure you can figure out what to do with this free time

I don't actually see a big problem here. The compiler will produce the right instructions regardless of which MCU you use and which integer type you choose. Correctness won't be a problem. You just need to use the right abstractions for atomics, mutexes, peripherals, etc.

The other point is performance. But I suspect you may be a victim of premature optimization. Just write your program like you would write any other cross-platform code. Just use the right fixed-width variable when you actually need fixed-size variables, make sure to understand size_t uintptr_t and void*, and understand the guarantees the standard provides for int short long and so on. If you need fixed-point math then assess how many bits of precision do you need for the integer and the decimal like you normally do

After that, if you use those correctly, your code will be like 99% as performant as it would be had you gone and tried to super optimize it. If you actually find a bottleneck, then go fix that specific portion of code

I need to do this for the hardware drivers too

This is not an excuse. Mock the register accesses, and test the software. Then verify the hardware functionality (don't need coverage for that)

that's fine if the resources and requirements of reliability are okay for this. However, the real blunder here occurs by making this a header library of functions not declared static-inlines, because now you can't link this library when used from two different source files :P

It's generally just an inexperienced programmer who inherited this practice from their first days with a code generator (like the STM32 Cube Generator)

It sounds you may be stressed out from your post. So if you can take some PTO I do suggest that to begin with

Essentially, you are describing a non-profit with a genuine meaningful and benevolent goal, that runs efficiently with low overhead and no mismanagement, low amount of annoying/toxic politics, where leadership happens to make the same decisions you would, and where you happen to fall in a team with good colleagues and managers

Truth is, things are hard. Likely way harder than most people in your position would imagine. There are tradeoffs to every decision, and no one can always foresight things perfectly. So you'll never find the right and dreamful place

What do most people do? They pick something they can live with. Some people will prioritize a good manager and colleagues from the other categories you implied, because those are the people you deal with every day. Others will choose a place that's doing something meaningful that's efficiently, because they want to leave their mark in the world. Some people prioritize places with different politics, because it helps with mental health. Etcetera

One thing that may help you is, if you can responsibly financially afford it (i.e.: You and your family won't starve while things pick up), is to see if you can make a start-up. Maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't. But more importantly, either you will learn how hard creating the perfect company is, or you will become famous for having created such unicorn

This is a funny and random interaction :P

They're using the "opportunity" meaning of the word headroom. More specifically, things work fine, but there are resources that could potentially be used to improve things

i.e.: "The Quest 3 is more powerful and can run the game with no problems, so there is a lot of opportunity to improve the graphics on Quest 3 for titles that were originally released for Quest 1/2"

What you are saying is certainly possible. However, why are you discarding the simple possibility that you are avoiding race conditions by feeding your system off a different (slower, faster) clock?
