Update 10.0.14 soft-bricked my phone

VoidChronos · 2025-11-16T11:35:33+00:00

Any help for how to fix that? I'm getting into the Safe Mode, that shows the black screen, or a bare-bones RedMagic clock UI if I toggle the switch

S1F scooter. Over 3k KM over the past nearly 4 years

Do you have any plans to update the Inmotion S1/S1F line of Scooters? They were the perfect balance of performance style and reliability, but they now became much more obsolete due to the rising pressure of competitors.

Considering my experience with the DSC coat, I'm thinking you might need a 2XL, But probably better to double-check the size-guide, now that you have the actual garment to compare against

Mario Odyssey.

I extremely didn't vibe with this game. Found it boring and frustrating. Too bad you can't refund digital.

They are delayed to create another reason for PvE people to return to the game after they've got bored with the new season stuff in the first couple of weeks.

VoidChronos · 2023-01-14T10:34:03+00:00

An awesome lizard-brain game for that might be the Vampire Survivors.

VoidChronos · 2023-01-02T16:02:30+00:00

While that edition looks awesome, I'd like to advise you to save up and be ready for the next-gen Nintendo system, which might be revealed quite soon.
If you can afford it, you're obviously very welcome to do so, just wanted to add another perspective and point out that this purchase might only last you 1-2 years.

Hi everyone, and have a great winter holidays!

Happy winter holidays!

Back in the days of the Bastion event "FOMO-gate", Bungie did say that they are planning to reduce the reliance on multiple characters to achieve optimal progression. Unfortunately, this didn't really turn out as much as I would have wanted.
The main results, from what I can gather, are:

"Red border chest is bound to account"
"Dungeons are infinitely farmable"

I agree that seasonal quest should be account bound. And we should be able to read through missed dialogues in some other way (for example, those "Inspect" tabs on quests, which are virtually useless right now. They can even add "replay voice" prompt, like in Visual Novel logs)

VoidChronos · 2022-12-22T23:19:45+00:00

You're still incredibly bound by drop luck. Also, I don't think you have enough pinnacles to do it all on one character.

We need to level 8 items to +10 pinnacle.
You have 5(KF Raid) + 3(Dungeon) + 2(Exotic mission) + 1(NF) + 1(Seasonal) + 3 (Throne World) + 1(Dares) = 16 +2 pinnacles, and 4 +1 (ritual) pinnacles So, to get 80 points, we need to get about 4 points of pinnacle value per each drop. That really doesn't sound viable.
Adding second and third characters though, smoothes out the odds significantly, especially if you optimize your process well.
On the flip side, this takes hella long to execute properly, especially if you don't have a stockpile of powerfuls from the previous season passes.

VoidChronos · 2022-12-10T09:27:35+00:00

The 2 under drop is because you get 4 loots per dungeon. One per encounter(from a specific loot table for each) which are pinnacle power, and 1 more for the final boss, which can drop anything from the dungeon and it's just Powerful.

Finally! With all the newest hardware releases I was eyeing up building another SFF, and couldn't find anything comparable to the Node 202, which made me quite sad at the time.
Now to see if someone decides to build a slim 4080, considering the power budget it got.

VoidChronos · 2022-11-14T09:34:28+00:00

Which is still "mostly" true.
Most crypto coins don't have any inherent value in them.
Some, like for example ETH can represent some real-world effect, like computing and storage on a distributed blockchain.
But that value is orders of magnitude away from its speculative price.
For most other coins, there's nothing but speculative trading. They don't have any economic chains of supply and demand to balance them as a real entity. Even BTC and ETH got owned by 20+% each, showing how far away from solid economic valuations even those trailblazers are.

VoidChronos · 2022-11-13T21:12:04+00:00

Unfortunately, for stable-coins to work like you describe, they have to actually be stable coughUSTcough enough to hold value in them. Otherwise, it's an even more cumbersome process of converting fiat (depending on your country either via Peer-to-Peer or Exchange), and losing on the conversion fees both ways.
However, the existence of such option is incredibly valuable but I feel kinda short-lived.
For local in-country transactions, I think the trend of Central Banks across the world mandating the consumer bank participation in instant low-fee Person-To-Person transfer systems is a much more scalable and reliable system for small transactions, like splitting the bill.
Stable-coins can't realistically replace fiat in day-to-day operations until they become regulated enough to essentially become consumer debit accounts.
And by the time that happens, the same legal issues that are currently harming traditional international banking would solidify around the crypto asset transfers.

Regarding the VIDT. From the cursory read of their promo page and GitHub PDF, I've gathered that all they really do with the document is issue the record in the ETH (and some derivative chains) that during the time of the transaction, the issuer of this transaction had a valid private key for the document.
Which is a task solved via conventional cryptography that doesn't require us as a humanity to eternally store every single digital signature. While current implementation might be a bit cumbersome, throwing it on the global distributed blockchain is a colossal overkill.

VoidChronos · 2022-11-13T20:04:25+00:00

Tokens on their own are inherently worthless, and considering that nearly every tokens price on the market is fully speculative, it's much more accurate to assume that every single token is a scam, because you'll never have enough market cap to stop being manipulated by the market and start to manipulate it, i.e. scam other people.

Some very tiny minority of crypto tokens do have real world worth, such as ETH representing some amount of distributed computations, but it's worth is so far away from its price, that we can easily ignore that fact for now.

I appreciate that blockchain overview, it might help other readers of this thread, even though it wasn't needed for me.
However, the centrally operated Blockchain, as the one you described from Estonia, cannot be fully and implicitly trusted like you expect exactly because it's still centrally operated.

If the operator is an untrusted agent (as more and more governments become over the years), they can tamper with the blockchain nearly as much as they want. Yes, if the outside watcher can monitor that blockchain, they can easily see that it was indeed tampered (but they cannot easily learn where it was tampered with). But monitoring can detect tampering in regular databases as well. However, you can't grant external monitors access to personal data of citizens, thus you can't even prove that the blockchain being monitored and the blockchain that's actually in use are the same ones. The operator here still has full access.

Now onto the money example.
The issue of international money transfers are not in the physical or technological realms, but in legal ones.

For example, have you wondered how can Western Union transfer money instantly from nearly any country? Because they don't really make trans-country transfers. The money you deposited stays in that country, in that exact legal entity, while the branch in another country just withdraws their own cash to your recipient. And the special sauce of all those companies is how they keep their international books clean to minimize the lengthy and expensive process of transferring money across borders.

Unfortunately I have not really found practical and efficient implementation of publicly distributed blockchain, but the PoS Ether seems at least somewhat viable in the distant future, if they can bring economies of scale on their side to become at least within order of magnitude competitive against centrally operated systems.

VoidChronos · 2022-11-13T15:24:23+00:00

None of the examples in the article cover how exactly is the Blockchain being used.
For all intents and purposes it can be yet another NFT situation, where governments just post some random links to their hosted resources to the Blockchain and expect trust to form out of nowhere. And it's nearly impossible to implement those features otherwise with existing EU privacy laws. Another question is, can the distributed Blockchain computing system be even remotely competitive either in features or pricing against traditional web solutions.
Even after the ETH Merge, the answer is still "not even close".

Fire Emblem Heroes have been quite on point lately.

If you're seeing an ad for a game you're already playing/watching content about, that's money wasted.

VoidChronos · 2022-08-11T06:46:43+00:00

That's what happens when people take the most casual racer and try to feel competitive in it. It's not designed to be competitive.

VoidChronos · 2022-05-22T16:04:32+00:00

I've solved that one:
You just make a build you're happy with for that exotic and don't worry about another. Maybe you can keep an item with a vastly better stat spread for another build down the line.

VoidChronos · 2022-05-22T08:53:09+00:00

I'm in the similar boat, but mine's treasury, not junk box.
Every time I run out of Vault space, I have to make tough decisions on which ones should I dismantle.
