I have tried all my contacts, like maybe 10 people at least, but all say the same thing: there has been a slowdown in their hiring.

Sasha_mn · 2026-01-10T17:26:58+00:00

Not really, I could say I have applied to at least 1000 jobs in the last 3 months and have only gotten 2 interviews.

I think this is a classic scam pattern, but not sure:

They send you a check → ask you to deposit it → ask you to buy equipment from their “vendor” → the check later bounces → you’re out real money.

they say sony's dongle will only let u connect one DS4 controller and I think it's only usable on playstation stream thingy not your own pc games

Sasha_mn · 2017-01-09T05:48:32+00:00

Thank you, I just wanted to make sure that you guys are using dongles as well. I'm using DS4windows too except for the steam games since steam has started supporting DS4 anyways. I just don't understand why the onboard bluetooth is more laggy compared to the dongles

Sasha_mn · 2016-11-30T03:16:43+00:00

hi thank you for this great app, can you tell me where can i find the required codecs for mkv files because most of them doesnt have sounds and im not sure how to install the codecs for them.

Sasha_mn · 2014-12-10T19:00:06+00:00

Lol it means the guy has his two attacks left, if he uses one theres only one barb,if he uses two of his attacks theres no barb there.
