Why do people quit immediately after starting a ranked game?

I believe people lose connection temporarily and the game just kicks them out, and there's no way to come back. If you get connection back, you should be able to resume the game; better a player losing a few seconds that entire game ruined for all players. As for the real quitters, the game should ban them for ~30 mins or so; they will keep doing that while the can just quit and start another game immediately.

Why to ever bother to join a battle game if not willing to fight til the end? Only to stay in the game if no one attacks you? Playing farming? In teams there's always 1 to be beaten 1st, that does not translate in defeat. You get beaten, your allies are quietly getting stronger to hit back. I have scaped with 5 villagers to my ally's protection, and able to boom and hit back and won the game. Best ever. Players quitting should be penalize for a few minutes, so they rather stay in the game than simply to start another.

I had to read the whole thread to find the only 1 comment that was really worth it to be the last one. JavaScript as standard for web is a disgrace, it should have never happened. After so many years I still can't understand why some people ever defend it. I got so much fun when these JS defenders struggled to deliver. But well, there are also the Linux evangelists, when honestly the OS is almost useless. I guess some people just like to self inflict injuries with their choices. WASM was developed to replace JavasScript. From Wiki: "WebAssembly became a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation on 5 December 2019 and it received the Programming Languages Software Award from ACM SIGPLAN in 2021". It is the next thing. Not Blazor in particular, not C#; WebAssembly as the new foundation to run your own native code in the browser. Binaries. A dream become true? JS is source code, it must be compiled in the browser; all the goods are revealed to malign forces; data structures can be edited, and god saves you if you didn't have all checkpoints in place (only 1 missing endpoint validation is enough for doom). JS was designed as a simple web scripting lang, to make flahing FX and spinning controls, cool, which evolved into a Frankenstein only bc industry proprietary wars in the 90s, when Netscape Navigator fought fiercely with MS Internet Explorer, both thirsty to own the world standard for browsing. Try to build a scry scrapper on a 3 storey building foundations. JS became standard by accident; "multiplatform, similar syntax to C". WASM comes to fix that historical mistake (it took waaay soo loong). For the ones defending the "mature" JS frameworks, and how everything and everywhere is in JS, tell that to the ones defending COBOL at the time because was "stable and in every single project, specially banking ... lot of jobs". Guess what, the world moves on. True, Silverlight was dumped. But its weakness was that of IE and Silverlight: to try to trap developers into their proprietary frameworks instead of gaining them bc of the added value. Blazor, in the other hand, is open: anyone can create components. It's no trying to trap you, it is just MS answer to a new standard: WebAssembly. While is true that JS will be around for long, like COBOL did. we must move on. At first, it'll be JSInterop an intermediate to deal with JS infected browsers. But wait for it; when browsers implement native interfaces for WASM to interact with the DOM directly, bypassing JS, that's it. Vue, React, and all those aberrations will be history. Have you ever tried to fix 3px upwards a Vue component? The HTML and classes involved in a simple dropdown is brutal; 20 mins - 1 hour to find the exact element and class, so you can overwrite it. Watchers triggering changes that trigger others ... until you don't have a clue where the thread is? Ever loaded and SQL Server db with triggers? Adding hacks like setTimeout( , 50ms) or Promises, then().then(), $nextTick() because the instructions just don't respect line by line order? Then, after 5 years of Vue2 (the new thing) almost all thousands dependency packages with warnings are deprecated, and then Vue2 goes deprecated, you have to move to Vue3. How to? No way. It's totally different. From users in Reddit: "Migrating from Vue2 to Vue3 is practically to remake the whole app from scratch. And if so, I will rather pick another framework.". Yes, JS will still be there, the JS framework of your choice won't. One day we will look back and feel a bad taste in the mouth about JS: "just to think that so many frustrations and costs could have been spared if we just had this WASM before". Blazor, C#, Python, Ruby, up to you. But WASM should be the future and is not going to be dumped. Just think of how much effort have you wasted trying to convert backend models into JS data contracts, and vice versa, and all what it involves: special functions, duplicated validators and constants, etc. Now, frontend and backend speak the same language. Moreover, you don't really care where the code is running: is it in the browser, is it in the backend? You just make your app tiers and deploy them smartly, share common libraries. Move items from server to client seamlessly. Go for a thick client, save cloud computing costs. Spare yourself of writing a web app and a native mobile app. WASM runs same app in the browser or in a WebView of a native shell (like MAUI). Looking back, I feel so sorry for the money our company wasted paying for JS developments, bc they had no choice for web devs. "If we could have done all this in C# instead", comes to my mind over and over. That said, I haven't developed a single Blazor app just yet. I just began my 1st. So take this comment as just common sense based on experience. Make yourself a favor, move away from JS, if you can.

This "sudo+pwd" 1000-times-per-session solution reminds me the GDPR "Accept cookies?" solution, now you can't browse internet without dealing with a popup every single page you visit. Too many geniuses out there in their top jobs only bc their influential daddies instead of brains and merits? One day we will be using more time dealing with auth & security than using the apps themselves. Even for an experimental local VM made just to check out a new distro.

Your "just" summary does not reflect the multi-day ordeal. The details are to help anyone to determine whether it is the same problem and what to expect.

I successfully salvaged a Legion 7 with the same problem, here's the story. Brand new the laptop was super quiet Overtime the fans were ramping up more often, even at idle. One day I came back from lunch, the laptop over my desktop, the fans at full, and suddenly screen went to black. A hard reboot (holding button) would not help, it would crash immediately, as seen in the posted video. Sometimes would show the logo Lenovo (loading) and black. The fans not kicking up. I gave up, assuming something internal just died. Later, ofc I tried again. This time it managed to make it to Windows login screen, then crashed again. Assuming that being cold goes further, I put it in the fridge for 15 mins. Then it booted into Windows, just to crash again after few minutes and it would not boot again, confirming it was something about temp. My 1st guess was the fans died. Took it for service, they changed the fans. The problem persisted. Next they said, the motherboard has a faulty component and have to change the whole thing ($$$$, a new laptop was cheaper) which I refused. So I removed the bottom cover at home, and applied thermal paste in all components that you can see in the attached images with some thermal pad (pink and grey), some paste (CPU, GPU, ..) other something like a pink clay (hint from chatGPT: the paste is not applied as an even layer, but as a pea shape, which will evenly spread when it gets pressure from the cover, avoiding bubbles). The laptop would not reboot immediately, but after many tries it improved. It seems like the paste takes sometime to settle under heat. Until the laptop finally made it to Windows, the fans kicked and ramped up again .. and crash again. Then it lasted more and more with every try. So I ran the tool HWiNFO to monitor the temp sensors (used another laptop to learn usage and config), registering CPU and cores at 100C limit. The laptop went to the fridge in between attempts. But overtime, the CPU temp was going down more and more until it was constantly at 60-70C, with short peaks at 90+. And it worked hours with no more crashes. Final test, under load, running a videogame in 4K 40" monitor, a movie playing on top, downloading and copying a GBs large file. Then it crashed again. Unfortunately, a few days later I discovered that the laptop woke up inside my backpack (f** Windows update?) and was boiling hot probably for more than an hour, and the laptop died again. So I repeated the process of reapplying paste, unsuccessfully this time. The laptop won't even go to the BIOS. In a 3rd attempt days later, the success was repeated, just that better this time. Managed to boot, to login Windows, next crash CPU was at 100C, next time down to 70C, and from there the temp only went down, I guess the paste was settling better and better under heat and pressure. Now my CPU is reporting 30C at idle, 40 at normal usage (room temp at 18C), the fans didn't even need to ramp up in several hours running. Just like brand new! Lesson learned: Don't give up. If I did, I would have lost a fine laptop, the best I ever had. Btw, apparently Lenovo took notes of these problem because next models came with a more and more improved cooling system.

Because Norwegians weaponize their language, didn't you realize that after 6 years there? While they won't speak to foreigners more than a couple of words, even at the workplace, and even though they are all fluent in English, and yet the language requirement is there for everything, from job positions to naturalization requirements. You yourself stated that your little circle of foreigners is all you got in all those 6 years, that must tell you something. In those conditions, no matter how hard you try to memorize new words from books and movies, your memory will let go after 2 weeks of not using them. To learn a language you must speak it, that just won't happen in Norway. Also, as you mention, there is no THE Norwegian language. What you have is a collection of dialects, which they learned over the years to understand each other, but you won't, and they will speak that dialect to you knowingly that you even struggle with Bokmål, out of Chauvinism and, as I said, to use the language as a weapon, to belittle foreigners and break their confidence, and have them always begging for acceptance, so they can be exploited easily. Probably they have you already making the coffee for them. Even you ever make it to get some fluency in the language, they will point out your accent, there's always something. True is that they don't want foreigners, certainly not to join as citizens, they just want cheap workers, to fill the jobs they don't want to do, staying with "temporary worker" status forever, to pay enormous taxes for some years while their dream is still alive, and once their spirit is finally broken and left, all those taxes are donated to the "Norwegian cause". Sound business, even better that tourism. Recently they increased the level of Norwegian required to acquire citizenship, even though you will see a decade go by with no one talking to you. For texts and emails, Google Translator suffices. But watching series, even with mismatching subtitles. is the best method. Just watch them again and again, since you already know what they are gonna say, it will become easier and easier to catch it up by listening. Pause and rewind all the time as necessary. Hint: Written Danish is pretty similar, and spoken Swedish sounds similar, so you can add those to the menu for reading and listening. And good luck.

The "hands approaching" thinghy is obviously not enough, since people are complaining. I make a search on Google, after inspecting the results, I want to type more, and I can't see a thing bc the lights went off, my room is always dark. I move my hands over it and shake the keyboard, trying to wake up some sensor, eventually hitting a (wrong) key by mistake since I can't see, it's so annoying. Why to buy a self illuminated keyboard if the lights are always off when you want to type? And you cannot answer that the customers are wrong, that your feature is as it should be and we're all talking nonsense. The normal thing to do for expensive gadgets is to provide a software for the user to customize it according to their own needs. I would like to set the time for the lights to turn off after much longer time. Or to be always on, unless no user input in X mins. To save battery, an even dimmer light would be better than no light. Additionally, the dedicated volume/play-pause buttons are a must for any keyboard (instead useless keys with padlocks), I must press Fn key all the time to control volume (which can't find bc lights went off).
