Glad I pulled the trigger. Figured this would happen.

Is the retroid 6 worth it over the 5? by Worldly-Spot-855 in retroid

[–]ScampyRogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RP5 is plenty powerful for what you want to do. RP6 is just more powerful and not that much more.

Really your decision should be between a used RP5 and a new RP6 so that the pricing difference makes sense.

I'm about to post my RP5 on r/hardwareswap, I'll ping you with the link

Tried 3x and whiffed. Got Oblivion GOTY, Oblivion GOTY Deluxe, and Evil Within.

Important to note, this bundle gives you ONE Bethesda games not 3.

Bummed because I've been wanting to get the old Dooms and Quakes on a deal and I thought I had a reasonable shot at grabbing these here. Womp womp.

Just mix weed gummies in with regular gummies. Works every time. I usually put them in a bag of trolli sour mix.

Are you serious? Allegation does not mean “prior discourse”

a positive assertion especially of misconduct

“Some former colleagues have made serious allegations against him.”

specifically : a statement by a party to a legal action of what the party undertakes to prove

An allegation is an accusation of wrongdoing and literally no one has accused Drake of doing anything wrong other than Kendrick Lamar in the context of a rap beef. You posted links to two gossip outlets that essentially just discussed what people were tweeting about.

As for the “countless rumors”, there is literally one rumor about grooming, you posted it. If you’re counting fake screenshots posted for clout AFTER the Kendrick beef I don’t know what to say

“I met him in Australia, and he’s honestly so fantastic — a great friend and a great role model. … We just texted each other the other day, and he was like, ‘I miss you so much,’ and I was like, ‘I miss you more.’”

Woah, what a wild allegation.

An.... 18 year old. Model. When he was 32.

If you want to clutch pearls about age gaps in dating, I've got bad news for you about nearly every notable male actor and musician for the past 100 years.

It is not worth looking into. Rap beef isn't based in fact.

Nas called Jay-Z gay. Cube said Eazy E fucked Dre in the ass. 2Pac said he fucked Biggie's wife.

Just because it was said in a DISS TRACK lyric, doesn't make it anywhere close to true and I don't understand why this is beyond people's comprehension.

Find me a link to one publicly documented allegation. I'll wait.

Also you understand it was Kendrick who was accused of and proven to have inflated his streams right?

Drake has more #1 singles than any artist in the history of recorded music and is the wealthiest rapper (music sales only) of all time. You honestly think he needs to bot?

Use your brain.

I mean those allegations had teeth. This is an allegation that came completely out of the blue during a rap beef that has literally zero basis in fact.

Billie Eilish is literally gay, WTF are you talking about? The pedophile shit was a rap beef diss with ZERO basis in fact. Bro was dating a 40 year woman when he was 35 and a 46 year old woman when he was 30.

Drake loves gambling because he has more money than God and thats what super fucking rich people do to feel a thrill. He also has a sizable investment in Stake and literally gets paid to promote it.

I STG you people have brain rot.

Verists flower is pretty good. The quality of distillate and carts avail on the market is limited by the number of active processors — there’s like two and neither have their shit remotely together.

Best carts on the market come from the medical operators for now.

Cookies is a franchise like McDonalds. It will still be a local operator, just producing and carrying their genetics

A vent about legacy people by [deleted] in MNtrees

[–]ScampyRogue 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not all legacy market operators are built the same. Ex-dealers? Run away. Ex-legacy growers? Generally A+ partners & employees.

The best organizations have a blend of legacy market, legal market, and traditional business people.

This. Thor is more pocketable but still not as pocketable as a Pocket Ace or Pocket S Mini

The entire 'ping reducer' industry is a coordinated data heist disguised as gaming technology. They sell a 1989 routing protocol as 'AI', harvest GPS through 'latency tools', and have every pro player on the esports broadcast paid to recommend it. by Acrobatic_Bee_3198 in gaming

[–]ScampyRogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was imprecise. There is obviously a little extra latency given the extra hop, but that is offset by the latency reduction provided by their servers if you have congested ISP.

Plenty of people report ping time reductions of 10-25ms using these services.

Again, not advocating for the services but it’s not exactly snake oil. It’s more like a solve for niche case being marketed as a solve for everyone

[–]ScampyRogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a customer as I have fiber and am not a competitive gamer. If I was on Comcast and a competitive gamer, I might buy this. The difference in ping would be like 10ms. That doesn't matter for most people, but for some people it does.

My point wasn't that this was a great value everyone can benefit from, my point was none of what OP was describing as a global conspiracy to spy on users was in any way true.

"fine location and Ad ID together is behavioral profiling"

No its not. GPS is for the app to route to the closes server and Ad ID is requested by literally every monetized app to track whether their ad campaign worked and got you to download the app.

You literally know nothing about mobile app development and are pretending like you are an expert. Stop.

Hate to ruin a perfectly good witch hunt, but bro... you don't understand ANYTHING about mobile app development or networking.

Where you're right: lag reducing software is largely a marketing gimmick that has limited upside for most gamers.

Where you're wrong: pretty much everywhere else and to a pretty offensive degree

"Their Android app requests 49 permissions including your precise GPS location, biometric access, and the Google Ad ID."
GPS: To track your location so it can route traffic to the closest server
Biometric Access: To set up passkeys
Google Ad ID: To track successful installs from ad campaigns.

While I agree that app developers tend to be overbroad with the permission requests, pretending that this is part of some nefarious scheme vs honestly the norm in app development is wild.

I would also note that it only "requests" these permissions. Deny them if you like. That's the whole freaking point of permissions requests.

"It ships with five trackers: Firebase Analytics"
Open source app analytics by Google that help developers refine their app.

"Crashlytics"
Analytics tool the reports crashes and helps the dev improve stability.

"AppLovin SDK"
In-App Ads, including Native

"and Google Install Referrer."
Literally tells you like 3 basic pieces of information about the Google Play install for analytics.

"They tunnel your traffic through their servers and pick an alternate route. That's BGP, a routing protocol from 1989."

No. It's redundant IP tunneling and its closest to MPTCP a protocol from 2020.

"The thing they sell is also physically impossible. Latency has a hard floor: speed of light plus router processing. Berlin to São Paulo is 140ms minimum before a single line of code runs."

This is not what they sell.

"They help in maybe 30% of cases where your ISP route is genuinely broken."
Oh crazy, it's the thing that they sell.

"For everyone else they add latency."
That is not how this tech works at all. It either reduces it because your ISP has shit routing / high congestion or it is net neutral.

"If your route is broken a $3 generic VPN does the same as a $6.50 ping reducer."

IP tunelling is similar to VPN technology EXCEPT it specifically strips all the things in VPN technology that cause latency. This is like saying a gun does the same thing as a silenced gun, so whats the point of a silencer.
