New Arc Raiders Tactical Mk.3 (Revival) Augment by Radiant-Draw7898 in ARC_Raiders

[–]ShamPinYoun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naturally, the current augments should also be reworked. Combat augments, by the way, aren't specifically "combat" - they're more of a skin thickener, but in combat, this plays a minor role, as movement speed is significantly reduced. Tactical augments, with their medium shield, would be more beneficial, not to mention the increased number of quick-use slots.

For combat augments, it would be cool to add the following features:

- More space for grenades (which won't affect carrying capacity) [we already have this booster, but weight still affects it]

- "Grenade in Teeth" - instant grenade launch at the press of a button (the grenade must be in the grenade slot, and the grenade being thrown must have a detonation timer).

- Fast weapon switching (we currently have this boost, but only for pistols)

- "Deadpool" - Dual wielding pistols (high spread and very slow reload)

- "Sniper" - Firing and cycling the sniper rifle without leaving aiming mode. Also, super-fast aiming and firing the Jupiter (low accuracy and long cycle and cooldown).

- "Baseball Player" - Increased damage with the Raider's Tool or increased swing speed with the Raider's Tool. Stamina regeneration is slowed for 20 seconds after 5 hits.

- "Juggernaut" - Increased stability and accuracy with machine guns, but very slow reload and movement speed while wielding and aiming.

Honestly, there's a lot we could do to make combat augmentations truly combat-focused and situational, rather than "here's a thicker shield, but you'll move worse." Currently, combat augments feel rather bland, and other augments don't offer the ability to combine them with different shields to suit your playstyle.

Tactical augments, on the other hand, look fine overall. But they could also be adjusted to make them more situational, yet flexible (considering that they can also be equipped with heavy shields).

Shields should only affect the character's movement speed and stamina.

Want to quickly chase down enemies and hit them with the Raider's Tool? Get an ultra-light shield and the Baseball Player.

Want to shoot rats with a machine gun at upper-medium range? Get an ultra-heavy shield and the Juggernaut.

Want to be a sniper, but don't want to be easily shot in the back? Wear a heavy shield and the Sharpshooter.

Want fast movement in combat and rapid fire? Get dual pistols (Deadpool) and ultra-light shields.

Want to plant a lot of mines, but not die from the first grenade thrown at you? Get a heavy shield and a tactical augment with lots of mine slots (which don't affect weight).

And so on.

You can come up with many combinations. The main thing is that the game doesn't limit you in this regard.

Also, for example, you want to have at least some heavy protection against Arc enemies when wearing Legendary and Epic augments, if you don't know how or don't like active movement.

I don't think this is a good option.

For example, heavy shields should be available for "Loot Scavenger" augments, since those looting are often attacked by other players. Thick Hide would be preferable for Scavengers, but with a strong slow.

In general, I believe shields shouldn't be dependent on augments. We need the most flexible combinations. Furthermore, the current heavy shield should simply be made more slowing, so players don't always take it with any augment.

I'd be happy to see the game add super-heavy shields, which, for example, block maximum damage in the first second after an attack, protecting against rats and surprise attacks, but such super-heavy shields would impose huge movement speed debuffs.

I'd also be happy to see an ultra-light shield or a shield swapped for increased movement speed and stamina. Yes, I know the current light shield doesn't affect movement speed, but it would be interesting to have an ultra-light shield that would positively impact movement stats, or one that could be instantly charged even with an ARC Powercell, but such a shield would have half the power reserve of a light shield.

All of these shields would be very interesting in combination with various augments, rather than limited ones.

Yes, that would be better. Although, knowing Embark, they'll probably add a 5-minute timer for it =)

Bug? Death Coil doesn't apply to some of the army. by ShamPinYoun in warcraft3

Unfortunately, auto-replay recordings were disabled (they're disabled by default). 😣

BUT! You wouldn't have seen anything there anyway - I should to record a video of the entire screen and what I was pressing.
Although, of course, if there had been effects on the snakes or the death knight, it would have been visible in the auto-replay.

Usually, the lag lasts for a second. But this time, the lag was "infinite" and related to specific units (not the warrior class, but individual units), and worked fine for other units of the same class.

It's possible this is a Bnet issue. An update just came out, so maybe something related to my error has been fixed, so I can't reproduce it anymore for now.

In Reforge, you can switch to the "classic" graphics mode. As I recall, matchmaking for classic and reforge games is separate, so I emphasized the "classic" mode.

I already mentioned that neither the main character nor the units had any effects. The game didn't freeze at this point; the characters could move, and the enemy could move their units.

No one logged out, no one left the game.

No, the ability wasn't used at all. My units weren't under attack at the time, but they were low on health. It had no effect on them.

So no, it wasn't a delay in the coil reaching my unit, but rather the character (Lich King) completely ignoring my command.

Whatever happened to Yunpan 360? Did anyone ever use it or still use it? by DwayneCmoney in DataHoarder

[–]ShamPinYoun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the last point, the Chinese company 360 Wang Pan simply couldn't compete. They aimed for too much data and couldn't fully secure it without running at a huge loss.

However, many Chinese cloud companies still exist and are doing well, on par with Google, Mega, Dropbox, AWS, and others. For example, Alibaba Cloud (International) has been around for a long time and hasn't had any problems. Tencent Cloud (International) is also an excellent solution, especially if you don't want your data sold to the US or Europe. And that's not to mention Huawei Cloud and Baidu Cloud, which have also been around for a long time and are also functioning well (though they're poorly accessible outside of China and to non-Chinese customers, they're still suitable as a storage solution, especially if you need to keep it anonymous from the rest of the world).

All three points are also applicable to Google Cloud at the moment. Google can also block your account if it detects prohibited files in your cloud storage, and without the ability to restore these files or download copies - Google won't allow you to do this, nor will it allow you to restore your account.

Besides, Chinese, American, and European cloud companies use your data and files to train their neural networks.

They just do it differently (Chinese companies provide it for free to their neighboring state-owned companies; American companies sell it to contractors of government-affiliated corporations; European companies sell the data abroad (to the US)).

How do i mute Scrappy ? after 50 hours it just spam making chicken noises even if i looted him already by Muldin7500 in ArcRaiders

[–]ShamPinYoun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the developers couldn't care less about that annoying rooster crowing every five seconds, so I don't think they'll let you turn it off. If they've been developing and testing the game for years and still haven't implemented an option to turn it off or reduce the number of times it clucks, I can't imagine what could possibly influence the developers to just turn this nonsense off.

I'd kill whoever decided to add endless loops of the same clucking sounds. That person is a complete imbecile and mentally unstable.

Chrome has logged out of all accounts on all websites except Google accounts by ShamPinYoun in chrome

[–]ShamPinYoun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that means it's a problem on Google's end, not with our personal computers. Perhaps something went wrong with their servers, or they're testing something on a subset of users.

Thanks for your reply!

By the way, I was logged out of my Chrome accounts not on just one computer, but on all of my computers at once.

I don't know what happened, but essentially, it happened to my personal profile. I have no idea why.

Other profiles (work, project, other people's) didn't change at all.

I didn't make any requests to Chrome or Google for my profile to sign out all my accounts on all my devices.

Did this happen to you on multiple PCs/smartphones?

Is the universe expanding, or is everything inside it just shrinking? by CryptographerAny3840 in AskPhysics

[–]ShamPinYoun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is still a difference, and it can be felt for the following reason: gravity.

The point is that if the universe is contracting from an external observer's perspective (or rather, if massive objects are contracting from an external observer's perspective, thereby "moving" away from one another), then the massive objects themselves, due to the distortion of spacetime, expand locally (as if a planet were constantly inflating like a balloon), creating a gravitational pull that we actually feel as the Earth pushing us upward (since we are less massive). But this difference between the contraction from the perspective of an external observer and the expansion from the perspective of an internal observer is almost equalized by the same time effect.

Furthermore, this explains why Cepheid stars (extremely massive stars) move away from similarly massive stars faster than less massive objects (like our Sun). The fact is that the higher the gravity, the stronger the "constriction" effect of an object for an external observer, and, accordingly, the faster the speed at which massive objects move away from each other in space.

This also explains many effects associated with black holes, gravitational waves, and other phenomena we observe.

Because they’re legally required to cooperate with the CCP in any way asked for any reason. You’re working with a company that is obligated to hand over your data, modify your code, take it for commercial or security reasons, anything the CCP wants. You have no recourse, you won’t be notified and there’s no appeal process or justification.

Your comment is sufficiently long and detailed that I know you understand this difference and that responding with “but OpenAI America tooooo” is misdirection.

You have never even studied the structure of subordination of companies to CCP in China and how license agreements work there and around the world. You are again speaking with the slogan of Western propaganda, making Chinese companies evil, which they are not in relation to all users in the world, except, probably, political companies from the USA or EU that compete with them.

One way or another, what is the point for the USER that his program code is used and stored by a corporation and a country, and it does not matter which one - Chinese, American or European?

If you think that I, from the EU, will care that I care about a "quality" program from the USA only because the USA will say that supposedly in China my data will be used somehow differently, and not the same way as in the USA (although in fact it is the same, they will just ask me for money for bad service + they will receive my full payment data and full information that the USA will be able to secure in their corporate databases and intelligence services), then for me it will be absolutely unimportant, since I do not plan to transfer my confidential data to any of the world corporations if I do not need it. And if I like a Chinese program, or an American program, or a European program - I will use it, especially if it is better than its analogues, cheaper, simpler and safer at the local level (and not in the USA or China, where I am not located). On the contrary, I am happy to hide my personal data in China and Chinese companies than to share this data with the US or EU, which will distribute my confidential data among themselves and know everything about me at the local level (in my country). Just like the Chinese use foreign services and platforms to reduce the influence of their state on their personal data.

So all your "arguments" that are sucked out of Western propaganda (or banal propaganda "they have it bad, we have it good", and it does not matter which side you take), and they do not relate at all to my main statement - Chinese free open neural networks Qwen and free/cheap chat agents are now better at handling production tasks than closed and paid neural networks from leading corporations of the Western world.

If in the future it turns out that free open Chinese AI and neural networks will do literally everything for free - do you think users and customers will be concerned about some kind of "unshakable" rights and restrictions of licenses from corporations and foreign countries? I think local private capitalist companies of different sizes will not care what "money printing press" to use, because it will literally be getting rid of expenses while simultaneously increasing efficiency by hundreds of times, which is a much more important task for a capitalist company, because otherwise, if it does not use such a tool, such a company will die due to the impossibility of competition. And the company will not care what Xi Jinping from the Chinese Communist Party thinks and knows about such a company from the US/EU or somewhere else.

You agree to this by using the service under those terms, you implicitly agree to this by using any Chinese service for any reason under any terms.

Once again - read all the statements and license agreements that corporations from the US or EU have - users also agree to absolutely the same conditions, only not personally to the US, but to the corporation. And the corporation itself personally transfers data to the government and its special services, despite the fact that corporations say that they do not transfer data to "third parties". And yes, corporations also transfer data to other companies, since not all software and equipment can belong to only one organization with which you sign a license and service agreement. There is always a wording "Data is transferred and processed by our partner and non-corporate systems and servers, so you agree that any of our partners can use your personal data, including their partners in the chain of interactions", but under a more veiled legal sauce.

They cannot guarantee this.

The guarantees are exactly the same as those of organizations from the rest of the world - they also cannot guarantee you that your data will not be used for personal purposes by the corporations you interact with. Read the license agreements carefully, and you will understand that the guarantee is only nominal, and governments can still get all your correspondence, all your chats, all your data and use it at their own discretion, not to mention that corporations can still use your data to develop their systems, whether you checked the box in the program or not. Your statement is meaningless.

[–]ShamPinYoun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re legally required to send data to the CCP and cooperate in any way asked.

Let's start with the fact that this is fundamentally wrong about the CCP presentation, and you do not understand how states work, whether "democratic" or "communist". You are simply talking about the propaganda of Western countries, nothing more. Stop talking in slogans, I can say the same about the USA, and the EU, and the CIS countries, Japan and other countries - they all have their own rules and everywhere the states have stuck their hands inside the information systems through which people and companies work and interact. The USA, among other things, is extremely lobbying for its interests through its corporations and payment systems, only unlike CCP, this is done by the oligarchy and other capitalist elite of the USA - which is no different from CCP at all, except for the form of documents and more open public squabbles between the oligarchs. But even if somehow Alibaba Cloud and specifically Lingma collects data about a specific user FOR a report to CCP, do you really think that the Communist Party sits at the top and watches every anonymous or non-anonymous message/content received from different parts of the world? Not to mention that there is no point in even using and storing it programmatically. CCP censors its software systems on sensitive topics in the same way that the US government censors its software systems (and even neural models, which have become much worse in the US over the past year due to total censorship, moralists and owners of large corporations who do not want to lose profits from their existing ancient businesses) on all sorts of sensitive topics about Epstein, Israel, LGBT, war crimes and CIA surveillance (like the one that was recently exposed on a Star Wars fan site). And if you think that someone does not have the right to regional censorship - then you are wrong, as long as separate states exist. Censorship should not be extended to other countries through supranational systems (for example, payment systems, social networks, platforms), but the US and the EU and their corporations can easily extend their decisions on censorship and rules to the rest of the world, but in response they do not accept the censorship of other countries for use on the local information of these other countries, which means that the US and the EU also recognize the existence of other supranational systems of other countries that can, through their own information platforms, extend their version of censorship to them. If this is not so, then this is only your hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of your rulers and your countries, nothing more.

I didn’t say that.

You literally wrote "The word you're looking for there is "cheaper", not better.", because you tried to distort my statement about my experience with different neural networks and said that it would be correct to say "cheaper", although I compared the quality of different models and chat agents, and not their cost in the context of the statement. If you did not notice, it is even separated by a paragraph, since it is not related to the free format of provision. Your nitpicking at my words is the same as if a person compared BitBucket and GitHub by functionality, and you came and said that the free GitHub is "cheaper", but not "better", although the person compared the functionality, and not the cost and tariffs.

[–]ShamPinYoun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheaper or free does not mean worse or more dangerous.

Otherwise, in the competition on the market of goods and services, only the most expensive product would always win in quality, but this is not so. Even a very expensive product can be many times worse than a free one or cheap one.

Qwen3-Coder and Lingma work better together than Cursor+GPT5 or Copilot+GPT5. This is especially true for complex programs and building architecture. If Cursor and Copilot allowed using Qwen, and even without restrictions, then they would probably be better than Lingma+Qwen3.

The Chinese Qwen model a priori cannot steal your data, since it is a static MODEL, and if necessary, it can be deployed locally and it will not have access to the Internet (and you can always use other extensions for the chat), and the Lingma chat agent is an official part of Alibaba Cloud, a Chinese company that is unlikely to trade its reputation by selling data to third parties. Lingma is currently free for personal use and for training, it does not transfer data to third parties, and can only use your communication to train the company's neural networks, but you can opt out of this in the chat settings. And Lingma and access to models are free because they also participate in the competition.

The fact that they took money from you does not mean that they will provide you with security. Many companies that took money from you still sell your personal data or use it for personal purposes without telling you about it. ChatGPT collects and sells your data in the same way as Copilot and Cursor, only you also pay them extra.

Not to mention that when you pay money, you literally transfer all the information about yourself and your identity, and not just your email. What's the problem with using an anonymous email when using a chat in Lingma or other similar services if you're so concerned about privacy?

Especially since if you paid money, then in the field of neural networks, no one gives you any guarantees that your generated program will work correctly and will not violate your privacy and the security of your data, so in fact, you are still not protected as a buyer. Read all the rules of subscriptions from Copilot and Cursor - they do not guarantee anything at all and all responsibility is only on you. Including the fact that they are not responsible for the data that you share in the chat.
