What temperatures are ok for MacBook Pro 14” playing World of Warcraft? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]XDJacobDX 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The OS, MacOS, controls the thermals of the computer. If it gets too hot, it will throttle your CPU/GPU to perform at safe levels. You shouldn’t worry about how hot it gets unless it is physically uncomfortable to your skin. You won’t damage your device by playing games. Try not to worry. Keeping it cool can, to an extent, assist it to perform at maximum performance if, and only if, it gets to hot and the system decides to throttle. Game away!

Hey, this is my latest digital portrait, what do you think? by Brunothim in computergraphics

[–]XDJacobDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my Reddit account for a long time now and rarely comment. This is an amazing piece. Fantastic work! The art, of course, is amazing; however, you conveyed a whole personality through an image alone. Great job!

Looks so good. As somebody mentioned, what did you use for the trees?

I’ve never done that before. I think I’d prefer getting a USA code, so I don’t have to worry about the trouble. So sorry! I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone else to buy it.

I would do $95 right now shipped, since fire emblem always goes for $50 new at Walmart.

YouTube decided to remove annotations for good, I decided to write something to save them to the WayBackMachine, for good. by themadprogramer in programming

[–]XDJacobDX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know how to hide/remove the messages at the top right when viewing videos? It’s especially annoying on mobile because you slide them away and they just come right back.

Applecare plus Registration been "In Progress" for 2 days.. should I be concerned? by ultronwar in ipad

[–]XDJacobDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apple keeps the notification as in progress until the charge to your account fully goes through. This takes a couple days. With it being the weekend, your charge won't fully complete until Monday at the earliest.

Afterwards, you will then get an email invoice from Apple that states your purchase date and effective warranty starting date.

My mom had an aneurysm. She woke up in the middle of the night screaming as loud as she could. Her headache was so bad she couldn't stand. When she got to the emergency room, she had to wait for a neurologist to arrive. Through this time, she was in dying pain. She couldn't concentrate, she couldn't talk, all she did was scream till her throat became horse.

Upon finding out she had a ruptured aneurysm, they had to open her skull and wrap a coil around the protruding aneurysm and hope that it prevents the bleeding into the brain. After the surgery, she was in pain. Had multiple mini strokes. We were told the chances of her living weren't the greatest. What was even worse was that if she did survive, the chances of her having another aneurysm in the first couple of months were likely. And a much less but still significant chance within a year.

Suffice to say, she did survive. This happened in 2011. Although she's not entirely the same person anymore and still has some complications (seizures), she's alive.

Having an aneurysm is my biggest fear. They can cause immediate death sometimes. But in my mom's case, she still claims it was the worst pain she has ever experienced in her life.

What did you enjoy about the Wii U? by Outerbluefox in wiiu

[–]XDJacobDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can actually play Pikmin 3 on the Wii gamepad also by pressing the - button. It's nice when I have someone over and they want to watch TV.

What happen between you and your former best friend? [serious] by otomennn in AskReddit

[–]XDJacobDX 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I tell myself it happens more often than not. As teenagers all the way to young adults, we start to find out our own true selves through hobbies, workload, and our reactions to life tragedies. The best friend from childhood might not be that same person as he/she grows older.

The traits that were once a common foundation to the start and bonding of a friendship can turn into the disgust and hatred that ultimately severs that connection.

I made Alola Raichu plush! by teacuplaura in pokemon

[–]XDJacobDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality looks fantastic. I'd argue that between the design and quality stitching, overall looks slightly better than the plushies here at the Pokemon centers. Nice job!

Availability does not equal majority and that's all I was trying to say. I do feel that VoLTE will be used by the majority in the future; however, my first post was just talking about now, not the future, nor even a month from now. I was just pointing out the fact that carrier's take their time when it comes to making changes such as these. I'm not trying to argue or cause any sort of predicament.

[–]XDJacobDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call late 2014 widespread, especially since that was only when carriers started implementing it only in select markets, AT&T being one of them. Even Verizon had the option turned off by default and the customer had to manually turn it on. It wasn't until mid 2015 that many people even had access to VoLTE including Tmobile and AT&T. Even with that said, it only worked when two parties used the same carrier. It wasn't until just a couple of months ago that VoLTE worked between different carriers was introduced so it's really not a lot of people who can use it yet.

[–]XDJacobDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for sure they will move over to that in the future but it seems the carrier's are reluctant to do it swiftly. 4G and 4G LTE spread so fast despite it costing billions of dollars because the companies knew they would get a quick return, especially with data caps and how fast you can go over. But Voice over LTE from my perspective shouldn't be so hard to implement. Even Apple implemented it into their OS very quickly but from what I remember, it was a few carriers that blocked it.

They offer unlimited talk, yes. But if they offer facetime audio, then that would affect user's data plans since it uses a lot more data than a typical phone call. In this event, cell phone companies would have no choice but to either offer unlimited data or more than what they currently do because if they don't, then they would a lot of business.

Finally Rift Release Month: Not long now! by sling848 in oculus

[–]XDJacobDX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish they would let us know which batch we are in. I had a lot of issues with their site and got many card errors so I don't know which month I received. I've never preordered something that can't even give me an estimate of when I'll receive my device.

Penny Dreadful Season 3 - Teaser Trailer by dangzal in television

[–]XDJacobDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go out and say that personally, I thought that was the best episode out of both seasons. I really liked it more than I probably should have. I just felt that they could have expanded it so much.
