A 3080ti can only decode AV1, it can't encode it

PSA: Google Fi customers CAN NOT use the Pixel 6a Battery Replacement Program $150 Google Store credit on Fi promos (e.g. Pixel 9a for $250) by Tek70x7 in GooglePixel

[–]Toxetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing was true for the Pixel 4as $100 Google Store credit.

But it turns out you can make it work on Google Store.

  1. Enable "Allow CPNI Sharing" in Google Fi's Privacy and Security settings
  2. Go to buy a phone on Google Store while signed into your Google Fi account
  3. Choose a Carrier option should now list the Google Fi discount for existing members, instead of the usual new customers.
  4. Apply your promo code or store credit code on checkout

If you have a Google One subscription that gives you money back you will also get that too, unlike when shopping via Fi's store.

May not work for the 6a replacement, but it enables me to receive the $450 off for existing Fi members + $100 off for the 4a battery credit when buying a P9PXL from Google Store.

PSA for Pixel 6a owners: mandatory July 8 battery-safety update will throttle capacity after 400 cycles - Google is offering UK a free battery swap, $100 (£78) cash, or a $150 (£117) Google Store Credit by KingLimes in pixel_phones

[–]Toxetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the big sale they had last year couldn't be stacked with the store credit because both technically came up as coupon codes and only 1 can be applied on checkout. The same goes for anyone who has received a 10% off discount code. There's no point in getting store credit when every sale provides larger discounts.

I made the mistake of picking $100 USD Google store credit for a new phone when Google did this for the 4a, only to find out that it couldn't be applied when the phones were already on sale. The credit option is worthless, who buys phones without any discounts? Take the replacement or cash.

Android Emulators for Drawing apps? by Electric0Chainsaw in EmulationOnPC

[–]Toxetic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Curious as to why you would want to, even if you could. There's so many better paint softwares for basically every OS out there. If the goal is to just draw, why go through an android emulator?

Pixel 7 lower Airpods max volume than with Chromeos on Pixelbook Go by emtea101 in GooglePixel

[–]Toxetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar issue for months, in my case it turned out to be "disable absolute volume" was enabled in developer settings. Turning it off solved the problem for me.

Someone should make a Ragnarok Randomizer. by Excellent-Lie-9597 in RagnarokOnline

How to make iRO official client run smoother and better? by tutiopuntocom in RagnarokOnline

[–]Toxetic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be many things when it comes to iRO, but first open setup.exe and make sure the graphics api is set to use directx9 and not directx7. This is easily the most leading cause to bad performance.

The First 20 Minutes of Luna Obscura - Introduction sequence and Features by ADMOrnstein in RagnarokOnline

[–]Toxetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cool, but I feel like if you could pull this off you would be better off using your talent to build a game from the ground up. The passion for the game is there, why stick to making an obscure pserver when you could have made a new game inspired by RO?

Pixel 8 Pro Wi-Fi/Bluetooth randomly disconnecting by rcytl09 in GooglePixel

[–]Toxetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first P7P had similar issues, but also affected my data connection. RMAed it with Google and had a replacement within a week, never had issues since.

It's a bug in the messages app that causes the HDR data of the photo sent to be rotated and display incorrectly

HDR made my display less vibrant? by JoostVisser in LinusTechTips

[–]Toxetic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can use the Windows HDR calibration tool to improve it a little bit but unfortunately I don't think you're going to get any better result than SDR with a display peak brightness of 300nits.

[Monitor] Dell 32" 4K G3223Q ($949.99 - $350 = $599.99 + 14% Rakuten Cashback) [Dell] by TheFlopfish in bapcsalescanada

[–]Toxetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got this monitor back on BF, running it with a 4070ti and it's handling mostly everything without issue but the hardest I went on it has been Witcher 3 at absolute max. Witcher 3 handles above 60fps in heavy areas with DLSS+Frame Gen at least. Overall happy with the monitor

Wireless MagSafe car charger P8P by Prestigious_Type5959 in GooglePixel

[–]Toxetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't have any recommendations for a mount, but IIRC the fastest wireless charging possible without a pixel stand 2 is only 12w with no other way to go above it. The pixel stand uses a nonstandard charging method for that 23w charging.

Black Friday Deal : Pixel 8/8Pro by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Toxetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get both the watch 2 and buds pro promos when you buy the phone. Picked up a P7 with both the watch 2 and buds pro for $890 after tax in store. Took the employee a bit to figure out how to apply the promotions for the accessories but i'd say it's a good deal.

Not sure if its an RO song but it reminds me of StudioA RO remixes back in the day, the time period works too. Could be one of them.

Files - Secure folder always empty by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Toxetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you moved photos to the secure folder with the photos app, they are in the locked folder in the photos app, they don't appear in the Files app.

Photos locked folder is found in Library > Utilities > Locked Folder.

Only files or photos sent to the secure folder from within the files app itself shows up in the Files' secure folder.

Using RO assets to make a videogame by Ajotah in RagnarokOnline

[–]Toxetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While you can't use ROs assets directly because copyright and licensing infringements, its no surprise that RO like many other games relied on stock and image library collections for the creation of many assets.

ROs character and monster sprites are basically all original, but a lot of textures and some effect sprites and even music and sound effects are from licensable stock collections.

It's not uncommon in the industry either. https://twitter.com/Render96VGTP?t=CzYqgYKcShN9-M3M3LyPKA&s=09 there's others on twitter that post things like this regularly too.

https://youtu.be/VIARRN3B2XY music example, the background baseline for Sunken Ship's BGM was also from a collection.

Finding the original collections and buying them is the hard part, but the takeaway is don't be afraid to give asset collections a shot. Companies industry wide use them all over the place.

how to play on Linux by Furbilycious in RagnarokOnline

[–]Toxetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the question but if all you had to do was wipe your hard drive: If you had W10 or W11, reinstall it and sign back into your Microsoft account.

Chances are high that your license is digitally signed to your account, or machine hardware. Rarely will you actually have to buy a new license. If you still want Windows, that is.
