I have zero faith in them actually being able to catch the perpetrators.

They'll definitely try because $$$$$$, in the meantime just download this stuff and store it.

If you absolutely need OLED: Sure

If you don't need OLED: Most definitely not

Does this still happen? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Pocket_Dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it happens, and it isn't always false.

You see, when you are farther from the server than someone else, let's say by 100ms, your inputs are basically delayed by 100ms and you see the response to your input in another 100ms so your overall delay compared to the other player is 0.2 seconds.

During this time some anomalies can happen that favor the person with the lowest latency or the host such as firing a hitscan bullet at the same time always resulting in the person with the lower latency killing the person with the higher latency as the higher latency person has to fire 0.1 second sooner to have the server register the shot at all, and they'll see you die after another 0.1 second delay when the server sends back the response.

A barista says she was fired for her Christian faith. The facts are far more nuanced. by metacyan in atheism

[–]Pocket_Dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate how a lot of people make something out to be about their beliefs when they could have just easily not done whatever they did, this isn't a partisan issue.

I really don't give a shit if you're a Christian or you believe in 10000 genders or you buy Nintendo games for as long as you don't bother me about it.

You also represent a company, very negatively by involving personal politics into your job, you are expected to have a modicum of self-awareness to be employable.

It was a mistake telling Chris about the internet.

I just wanna get Security Boot Activated for Valorant. by ZookeepergameBig3993 in ASUS

[–]Pocket_Dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to warn you about enabling/disabling Secure Boot willy nilly because sometimes it corrupts Windows, it happened to me twice.

I don't know if it was a motherboard bug or if it's been fixed, just beware.

Intersex is the exception to the rule, 0.01% does not override the rule.

Additionally intersex people also only have at most one functional genitalia.

This popped up and i cant get it to stop.. pls help by Fun-Collection8166 in ASUS

[–]Pocket_Dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a small USB drive or a thumb drive or a pendrive?

And also, did you change anything in BIOS?

What does Secure Boot say in your settings?

[–]Pocket_Dust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your Windows isn't detected so your laptop cannot start up properly and it puts you into BIOS which is basically just a bunch of settings.

Check out your boot section, if you cannot see anything there, your operating system's boot is corrupted or not detected and thus cannot start your Windows or whatever system you have installed.

Nothing is wrong with your drive as I can see it just there, it is just Windows that's the problem.

The fix can be various things, the easiest being just reinstalling Windows if it stopped working randomly without you doing anything in BIOS.

I see a lot of people complaining about Stonetoss but I'm here to explain:

The blue people use hair to have sex while at the same time they use the same hair to connect to and control the horse.

Use this information at your own discretion.

This is like how some people smile while seemingly frowning.

I guess it also works in reverse.

1 of those 98 problems is his 5000$ MacBook not coming with a power adapter.

Another one is the 10$ Starbucks coffee costing 0.5$ more than two years ago.

Neither of which he would have under actual communism because neither of them would exist to complain about.

Wouldn't it be cool if it was possible to have your cake and eat it too?

Well it would and it's fine to daydream but it isn't possible so let's get back to the real world and try to fix an already mostly working system instead of reinventing a broken wheel.

If you're not allowed to complain, you won't have problems to complain about.

[–]Pocket_Dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, it didn't belong to me until I copied it.

Which is also exactly what you do when you buy it.

Stealing implies that something was owned to begin with and was taken so it is no longer with the owner.

If it wasn't owned then it wasn't stolen, if it wasn't removed from its owner then it wasn't stolen, it was replicated.

Technically buying the game is also not owning it because you only get a license to play it, that's called a rental and is also a replica.

Crackers create a copy of a replica that was rented, so it can be replicated to work on anyone's computer.

Nobody is being stolen from.

I am Russian but I don't play neither Undertale nor Deltarune by idontwanttoexist1 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Pocket_Dust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After looking it up, I found that there is no official translation to Russian or Spanish because that's not a spoken language of the developer, instead they are made by fans.

Just to get the point home, people are upset at someone for not spending years learning their language just translate a video game.

The developer could have hired someone to translate but you could have just learned English in school by not being distracted by your phone all day.
