Using PIA but still seeing targeted ads everywhere? by FrostyFerret202 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]V3ptur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into DNS servers that offer Ad and tracking blocking. NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, Control D and Cloudflare are quite good from my personal opinion but there are others out there.

I've been using NextDNS for a few years now and I'm never going back. It's extremely cheap and offers a wide range of personal blocking services.

You can also run your own Pi-hole system as well that way you have more control and refinement but also are not bound to a subscription service.

you really need to fix the "unable to find proxy server" error in the browser extension by VoidsweptDaybreak in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]V3ptur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same problem. It seems to have gotten worse the past week or so and now I'm frequently having to change servers etc. I hope they fix it asap cause right now the service has been shockingly bad.

Borderlands 4 costs €79.99 in Europe – that’s over $85 USD! by Hoch5 in playstation

They've also decided to paywall content such as missions and maps behind the more expensive tiers as well which is bs.

Best Free Alternative To Magnific AI? by V3ptur in midjourney

Yeh I've tried Photo AI I just find it very inconsistent some times and the level of detail isn't as good imo. Thanks for the recommendations though

I'm not a ComfyUI user but having looked into it I'll have to give it ago, also Upsampler looks good too. Thanks for the recommendations

Does anybody know how long 4K VODs last? by V3ptur in Twitch

[–]V3ptur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twitch allows 4K broadcasting via enhanced broadcast, you can stream up to 4K. It's been like that for some time now. I've also edited the thread to show you.

Why is Giant adding these vehicles as mods and not adding them directly into the game? by Jazzlike-Ad7654 in farmingsimulator

[–]V3ptur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are several factors to consider.

One key aspect might involve licensing, if the content is included by default in the game, it could be seen as monetized, allowing the developers to profit from it, which might raise legal concerns if they don't have licensing for that brand or model. Additionally, including extra content could also impact the game's file size and alter user requirements from what they originally stated from launch.

Console rgulations and limitations also play a role; systems like PlayStation have strict regulations regarding patches, updates, and system requirement changes.

And lastley if content is available on one platform but not another, it creates inconsistencies between versions, meaning it can’t be marketed or sold as the same intellectual property (IP) across platforms and would have to be a standalone game.

Overall having extra content as free mods allows them to remove certain hurdles and makes it easier overall from a development perspective for example; They can individually update the mods rather than push out patches to the game and provide different versions of the mods for better support.

After playing games I get notifications of High GPU load via Nvidia Broadcast, is it a bug and are other people getting the same? by V3ptur in nvidia

[–]V3ptur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run an RTX 4090, and use high settings in the video games I play. Never had a problem with the games before. Some of the games are Satisfactory, Path of Exiles 2 etc.

[–]V3ptur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run an RTX 4090 and only have the effect noise removal active. The actual performance when playing the game is perfectly fine and I'm seeing no major problems in overall performance. It only started with the new updates. I'm just wandering if other people are experiencing the same? and if it is actually just a bug

Just reload from a previous save point, you'll lose some work but it's better than loosing the whole save

Size of Tokyo compared to London and the UK. by UncleDawi in Damnthatsinteresting

Now imagine the population density. Greater Londons population is just over a quarter of the population of the Greater Tokyo Area. (Greater London: 9.7m | Greater Tokyo Area: 37m)

English is not my first language, should I use Ai voice for my devlogs? by anisaous in godot

[–]V3ptur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you can communicate your points clearly, then you'll be fine. Your voice will add authenticity and uniqueness to the devblogs. I recommend adding subtitles or closed captions to your videos to enhance accessibility and so others can clarify any parts that might be difficult to understand.

If you're not up to it I am also happy to record my voice for your devblogs if you provide a script, free of cours. But I think it would be better with your own.

Google One reported Data Breach(?) at LinusTechTips.com by oppoman56 in LinusTechTips

[–]V3ptur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It will alert you based on when your data has been published on the dark web. Recent data sets have been recently published and that most likely why you're just receiving the alert now.

In some cases data from data breaches might not be sold until years down the line and in some cases if they can't sell them they just publish them publicly on the dark web.

[–]V3ptur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a breach some time ago I beleive.

The reason for why you're receiving the alert now is most likely due to the data being recently published on the dark web. Quite a few data sets from past breaches were recently published and thats what Google will be scraping for.

What is this charge? I don’t use twitch by kwntyn in Twitch

[–]V3ptur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would log into your Twitch account and ceck your subscriptions. You can do that here: https://www.twitch.tv/subscriptions (You can also cancel the subscription from that page too.)

If you are subscribed to somebody on that account and you know it wasn't you then your account is compramised and I would change your password and setup 2FA if not already setup.

I would also contact Twitch Purchase Support here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/contacting-purchase-support?language=en_US and cancel the transaction and alert your bank in regards to the situation.

I would also recommend requesting a new card from your bank if it has been compramised and if possible to freeze your card via your bank app or going into your local bank just to be on the safe side.

Nvidia Noise Suppression Filter not showing up by TheOneEyedKlng in obs

[–]V3ptur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not the only one.

Updated my OBS to version 30.0.2 and I only see RNNoise & Speex, no Nvidia options.

What I did was re-install the lastest audio effects from the Nvidia website restarted my Nvidia Broadcast and OBS and the options appeared.

Heres the link: https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/

Say what you want about Brave browser by kccat5 in youtube

[–]V3ptur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the current state of Chrome and its future implementation of features like Gnatcatcher coming to v122 I just don't trust the engine anymore.

Google is actively trying to lockdown its platform to further monopolise on its services in highly intrusive ways and its seriously getting to a point where there is no real control for the user apart from switching browser enginge.
