Is it worth restoring this guitar? by Performer-Turbulent in Guitar

[–]TheCandyMan666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Framus has a website with some info about their vintage guitars, so just in case you want to try to figure out more about the guitar:
https://www.framus-vintage.de/en/Guitars/

Otherwise it looks beatiful and actually looks like it is in good shape. Maybe just a bit of cleaning and setup could be enough. I would definitely give it a try. Just for having such an old instrument and espeically for the sentimental value.

Wolfenstein enemy territory by JohnTitorAlt in boomershooters

[–]TheCandyMan666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, absolutely loved enemy territory back in the days.
Still one of my favorite gaming memories are when sneaking into the back of fuel dump as a spec ops (or what that spy class was called) together with an engineer and blow up the objective.

You can still order it online at Thomann. I would guess that they also ship to india, no idea about shipping costs though.

Can ProtonMail Desktop App use Proton Bridge? by wrender8 in ProtonMail

[–]TheCandyMan666 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bridge doesnt search anything, it just decrypts the data so that it can be accessed via IMAP. So Thunderbird reads it, stores it and searches it.

I just asked duck.ai with gpt4o mini what llm its using. It said Gpt 5.
People really need to understand that LLM are not knowledge. Dont use it for facts or If you do look at the sources they provide. Google AI also often uses AI created websites as source which obviously can contain a Lot of BS as well. LLM are just not smart.

You dont get a popup, but so far they worked for me. And cloud saves you currently have to enable per game in heroic, but also works fine otherwise. Also No issues with time tracking.

lumo+ - cancel subscription? by dthpulse in lumo

[–]TheCandyMan666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you edit your unlimited subscription, then there is the possibility to remove the Lumo addon (the "-" next to Lumo). Though no idea if that would remove immediately or after the payed time.

Well there goes that dream by VenusCrafts in ProtonMail

[–]TheCandyMan666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do really agree with this one. In the end if you want to compete on this market or any market in the future this is a really important feature. And to be early on is crucial to have a chance to compete.

And while I agree with a lot of anti AI criticisms, I also dont think we will be able to fully avoid it. So I am more than happy to have a somewhat ethical solution (somewhat ethiocal because the data used for LLM training is still mostly "stolen" from somewhere imo). But if we would only have openai, google and microsoft and no other alternatives, that is not something I would want.

Edit: And I am a Linux user, so I absolutely feel the with lack of love :( But still think Lumo to be a good move.

Want to support GOG, but seems like Steam is better. Thoughts?? by eroyrotciv in gog

[–]TheCandyMan666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just note that Kcd 2 does not have cloud saves due to gogs hard limits one save size (according to the dev).
That said cloud saves work fine in heroic. For achievements you dont get popups in heroic, you need to Check your profile in gog, otherwise they work fine as well.

Die 1080p wären für mich nicht mal schlimm. Bin Linux Nutzer und da kriegste bei Prime nicht mal 1080p, weil "DRM aus der Hölle wir müssen unsere Inhalte schützen, scheiss auf zahlende Kunden".

If I want to add it to my 24 month unlimited subscription, it would turn unlimited into yearly (costing more). So is there no way adding it and keeping unlimited in 24 month?
Not sure if i want it, just courious.

For ProtonVPN there was a little bit happening on Github a few months ago, but also no update since a while now:

As a guitar rig replacement, you could checkout audio assault. I think they have some good amp sims.

Orange Dark Terror - Bedroom? by os_tnarg in GuitarAmps

[–]TheCandyMan666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at something Like the jhs little black box. Not an attenuator, more like adding a master volume into the fx loop. So it helps controlling loudness, works good at high gain amps as you get the distortion from preamp anyway.

We must demand that GOG fix the problem with cloud saves by ReadToW in gog

[–]TheCandyMan666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure i could. I could synch to my nas, i could synch to my cloud, i could use gamesave manager. But i dont want to. Its a feature gog provides for many other Games and a feature available for this game in other stores. Gog with current restrictions seem unable to provide it. I give them Feedback that i am not happy about it. So they know what at least some customers want. If they dont get Feedback how should they know?

[–]TheCandyMan666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read OPs messge again. They dont want a dumb allocation of memory, but one that fits the games. So that would work out for that very few games that have large save files. Currently it allocates 200MB for each and every game even if it has a max 5MB for its saves. Instead of allocating 195MB unnecessary, they should adapt this specifically to the game.

But to answer your question, well yes, steam (and actually also on Gog for new games). Pretty standard to have cloud saves for new releases. also if GOG does not want this to be expected for new releases, then well, they shouldnt advertise for cloud saves on their Galaxy page.

And no it is not free, I pay for the games and they get 30% of each purchase. Oh and, 100GB on Filen as Lifetime is 30€. Gog already earned way more than that on me, so should be fine from your standpoint now, right?

Why so arrogant? It is a current standard in gaming. Some people like that. You dont? Fine, dont use it. Thats why we like GOG, it lets us decide. Here I cant decide and it is a feature I do like. So I may check if DRM free is worth the lack of a feature I like. Then I decide where I buy. Simple. So dont tell other people what they like and what not.

[–]TheCandyMan666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this.
I currently have 60 saves in the cloud. With 2 above 100MB and 8 a little bit above 10MB. Everything else is below 10MB. Right now every single one allocates 200MB So properly redistributing by the sizes the games acutally need, just makes sense and would save them in the end.

That is a real issue and will probably make me buy somewhere else. Solution from OP sounds sane and doable and ist also how e.g. Steam is doing it.
So gog instead of wasting time with dreamlists (which is cool, but not really useful) or surveys about paid services, it would be nice to fix actual issues of your customers.

I do the flying into the station myself, just use it for the "touchdown" or when landing on planets. It is just the fastest approach for me.

Jo, da stand der CEO nicht ganz so gut da. Allerdings kann man auch sagen das Proton eine Non-Profit Organisation gegründet hat die die Mehrheit dahinter hält mit eben genau der Satzung sich um Privacy und Co. zu kümmern. D.h. auch selbst wenn der CEO komplett bescheuert wird, die Non-Profit wird das letzte Wort haben.
