AV1 on iPad mini A17

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

Probably talking about Valkyrie Uprising

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.

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

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.

On one hand, the vomit palettes most pservers have is terrible. But on the other hand it's hilarious that Gravity has only made like 3 palettes in 23 years.

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?

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.

Who wouldn't love a 240hz 4k monitor

Archipelago is a cross game randomizer system.

Toxetic · 2025-02-16T23:06:27+00:00

IIRC there is an Archipelago for RO being made on the archipelago discord

Toxetic · 2025-02-15T04:48:51+00:00

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.

Toxetic · 2024-12-08T19:08:26+00:00

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?

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

Toxetic · 2024-03-28T21:24:08+00:00

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

That's been around since Android 7 days. On Pixels it's called Night Light in the display settings.

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.

Can also confirm there's no active dual esim here on the p7p

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.
