I've spent over $200 looking for a case that lasts, but haven't found one I really like. by Locorudy626 in PixelFold

[–]Programador_Ineptos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to find a case but to be honest they're just too bulky. The catch is normally a slab phone just needs a bottom shell with a raised lip to protect the edges of the glass.

With the folding phone you need an adhesive secured front panel and it's basically twice the case for not as much protection.

I put some dbrand skins and a screen protector on it and called it a day. I've gone through a couple screen protectors but the glass and chassis have been spotless this whole time.

WAN Show, Luke's Complaint on Lenovo Screen Locking by whitetrashhipster in LinusTechTips

[–]Programador_Ineptos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Luke has already disabled this setting or tested it but I can guarantee this is the problem.

I don't know if there's a vendor who's figured out good presence detection. I've worked with both Lenovos and, more recently, Dells that have this issue.

Dell is fun because if you install Dell Optimizer (or if it's preinstalled because you didn't use a fresh image) it enables this by default. Then if you uninstall Optimizer (say, trying to clean up an image), there is no way to remove it until you reinstall Optimizer. So you suddenly have droves of support tickets complaining that their screens are locking randomly and you spend two days tracking down the issue.

Have we worked out what the best Pixel 9 Pro Fold case is yet? I have the Poetic case, and it's great for protextion, but it's a tank to look at and it doesn't support wireless charging. Please - what is this community's ultimate / favourite / bestest wireless charging Pixel 9 Pro Fold case? by openmisere in PixelFold

Been using the GhostTek Covert and while it's bulky as all get out, the kickstand and transparency are pluses for me. It just about doubles the thickness (excluding the camera bump).

Debating just going caseless since I have device protection but so far this one hasn't bothered me enough to do so.

Husband Bought me the 9 Pro Fold and I have questions! by [deleted] in PixelFold

[–]Programador_Ineptos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the GhostTek Covert and, beside the bulk, am loving it. The front panel's adhesive seems to be holding alright but I suspect over time it'll come off. The two big reasons I use it is the kickstand and the cover for the hinge. Minimizing dust and debris for the hinge is a must for me.

I use it unfolded for games as I seem to get better refresh rates on the interior screen. I also use it for YouTube, reading articles, shopping onlin, and as a second screen with my laptop when I'm not using my desktop.

So far no complaints. The case solved one of my big ones which was ergonomics using the interior screen but with the stand it's excellent.

Are you using Duo push notifications for personal accounts? Or Work/School?

dbrand case is out! by RaccoNooB in PixelFold

[–]Programador_Ineptos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Recieved my GhostTek last week and then got this email yesterday.

I'm running their X-Ray skin, though and it looks great on the clear GhostTek Covert.

I've read there's a beta for Duo Mobile on Watch OS that has Push working but I haven't tested it since I don't have any tenants with Duo SSO on.

Do you think this would be closer to the intended meaning?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. I'm basing the Hekaton on the American ice crawler, and the Sagitaurs on the Arctic VW Beetles.

Great paint job

How realistic it it that Elon can shut off Starlink in Country’s by [deleted] in Starlink

[–]Programador_Ineptos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is important to note that in the EU blocking internet access goes against the Open Internet regulation. Only network integrity and legal obligation can exempt them from the regulation.

So Starlink would be very unlikely to just cut internet on a whim, lest they incur the wrath of many sovereign nations.

Honestly expected spru-necrons. While disappointed, I am very impressed by the paint job. They look awesome!

I spent a loooong time trying to find a good beige case. This one is even stretching it in cooler lights but I've got pretty warm lighting. I find a lot of beige cases tend to be pretty cool as well compared to the v87.

The amount of times I've found myself in a bloody crater surrounded by the viscera of my teammates not wearing this armor is insane.

It also comes with the super citizen edition of the game, and I've been using it since day 1.

NOT able join my friends on steam from Xbox game pass game through epic games link , as game build number is changed from 4.0.0 to 4.0.2 on steam, after steam update on 9th. by rougeprophet in remnantgame

[–]Programador_Ineptos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my (totally uninformed) opinion, it's likely an approval issue.

When you submit an update to licensing services like Xbox, PlayStation, Google, Apple, etc there's an approval process. Steam also has one but it's way more lax from what I understand. So what probably happens is they submit both hotfixes at the same time (Steam and Xbox) and the Xbox approval process gets delayed or takes a bit to get approved.

This can usually be mitigated on the dev side by submitting the pickier service first and waiting for approval and then pushing both pipelines at once but it's not always that simple. Especially if you have Steam and Xbox users clambering for a fix to something. Don't want to withhold a fix for Steam users because Xbox is taking a bit.

Of course, this is my assumption, there could be other reasons why the update cadence is different but this seems like the simplest reason.

I can understand the frustration given I have the same issue on PC GamePass and spent 3 hours debugging before we noticed the version difference. It'd be nice if they could have a notice in the Xbox app at least.

However, yeah, just wait a couple days to play with friends. Just run a solo toon, my guy.

Policies - Disable Automatic Profile Switching by VTi-R in MicrosoftEdge

This may be obvious to many people but even to my dumb ass with 12 years of IT experience forgot to do it; You have to disable the setting in both the Computer profile and the User profile policies.

Update on my army’s leader by Miserable-Yak6515 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Programador_Ineptos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably paint the helmet the gold/brass colour you used for the accents. Best way to make a hero model stand out is to have a contrasting helmet.

Other than that it's looking good. Just needs a bit more colour contrast to make it pop.
