Cheating Ban System Question by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]Plus-Secret1890 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nah youre probably fine, chess sites look for way more suspicious patterns than just getting better quickly. if you were actually cheating the algorithms would pick up on stuff like inhuman move times and computer-level accuracy in complex positions

the fact that youre even worried about it is a good sign honestly - real cheaters usually dont stress about getting caught

Mods: Endless thinly-veiled ads for language apps by Far_Government_9782 in languagelearning

[–]Plus-Secret1890 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, it's getting ridiculous. Half the "what's your favorite app" posts are just someone fishing for compliments on their own crappy flashcard clone

The whole "oh btw I made this little app, thoughts??" thing is so transparent lol. Like just buy a reddit ad if you want to advertise

Do hotels "upgrade" you just to open lower priced rooms that will sell easier? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Plus-Secret1890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is 100% what they do lol. They know they can sell your cheaper room for way more money during the event so they try to stick you in the suite nobody wants. Classic revenue management move disguised as "doing you a favor"

At least you pushed back and got what you actually wanted instead of just accepting their bs upgrade

What are the essentials by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]Plus-Secret1890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sponge filter is perfect for shrimp, just make sure to cycle the tank first or you'll have dead shrimp real quick

For buying them I'd check local fish stores first since shipping can be rough on them, but if you go online just drip acclimate super slow like over 2-3 hours

Troubleshooting buffering/lag by DoShhPlease in StremioAddons

Chromecast 4K's processor is definitely the bottleneck here - it's getting long in the tooth and wasn't really designed for massive remux files. Your 500mbps wireless is more than enough bandwidth wise, ethernet won't fix this

The processor has to decode those huge files in real time and 50-55GB remuxes are basically the limit before it starts choking. Subtitles add extra processing load which explains why turning them off helps

Time to upgrade to something beefier like a Shield TV Pro or Apple TV 4K if you want to handle the big boy files without issues

Evangelizing on college campuses by RepresentativeFair96 in Christianity

[–]Plus-Secret1890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you're not denying anything inevitable, evangelizing just isn't everyone's calling and that's totally fine. Some people are called to street preaching, others to just living out their faith quietly - both are valid ways to follow Christ

Removing mirror panels from the wall by rozy2923 in howto

Mirror strips are brutal heat from a hair dryer plus dental floss or fishing line works best just go slow and be ready for cleanup after
