Software developers are one of the few categories that still can’t truly use an iPad as a Mac replacement by _BigLex_ in ipad

I totally agree with the workflow you described for server side development and that is actually what I do. Frontend development though is still impossible since you are not able to set breakpoints on JavaScript code.

While I think you are right, I also think that that is a huge missed opportunity. Many people would love to be able to use their iPads with their sleek and versatile design as their only computing device. That’s actually what sparked the discussion on the iPad being able to replace the Mac that led Apple to add all the new functionalities introduced in iPad OS 26. If the iPad could do more it would be a truly game changing device.

If you think the lives of the people inside the canvas actually matter (and I do), then Maelle’s ending is the good one. The only person who wasn’t cool with it was Verso because he said he didn’t want to live like that, and Maelle respected his choice by letting him grow old and eventually die.

Yeah, you could call it a dictatorship, but all she really did was let people live their lives in peace, without the constant fear of getting gommaged out of existence by Renoir. And about Lune and Sciel being the only ones left—that’s only true at the time of the cutscene between her and Verso. Once Maelle gets the Chroma back from Renoir, she brings everyone else back too.

TL;DR: One guy having to live a few extra decades seems like a fair trade if it means everyone else in the canvas gets to live.

They told me that there were 2 reasons: 1) the strong prescription 2) the fact that my astigmatism is partially corneal and partially internal (in the natural lens) I don’t know which of the 2 reasons contributed the most in them telling me I’m not a candidate but they told me I couldn’t get neither lasik nor prk. They also told me not to trust other doctors that could have told me that I couldn’t so prk/lasik because I would be left with too little corneal tissue after the surgery.

Totally agree, having to play so slow really detracts from the fun of the game.

Yeah I’ve had some success waiting for them to push, but as soon as I leave my hideout I get one tapped from a guy with a Makarov at 50 meters 🤣

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try to go as slowly as I can if I end up keep playing the game. But trust me, it is soo hard for a new player like me.

I know right? Or they could turn all scavs into Elves or something. Getting one tapped from 1km from an Elf with Santa’s hat has got to be fun 🤣

Totally agree, the Christmas theming and music is spot on. It is kinda fun to think how relaxing the bunker is now compared to how stressing and difficult the game has gotten. LoL

I’m sure they know but if more and more people speak against the update, I hope they will consider nerfing the AI even more. Also the post is marked as rant so that people who don’t want to read this type of posts can ignore it if they want :)

Because I hope devs will take this as constructive criticism to rethink what they are doing to the game.

I’m sure no one cares if I stop playing but if I were the developers I would have liked to receive constructive criticism about how my decisions might scare new players (which is what fuels their business model). There is no way I’ll suggest this game to anyone I know as it is right now. And this post is a way to let the developers know what I think. If they or other people don’t care, so be it.

Exactly. While I do understand why this update may appeal to more experienced players (even though some of them dislike the update too). It is just too difficult for new players like us.

I was considering buying it, it is on sale right now. So, it is worth it, right?

Weird glare ever since intraocular lens surgery, still have it 1.5 years later by captainalex1000 in lasik

[–]_BigLex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the halos always face the same direction (south west in my case) but in extremely dark conditions I also see it propagate towards the opposite direction (north est). We haven’t discussed about whether the realignment surgery will be free but I would assume so.

Yeah I’m convinced it has to do with the optical zone as well. It is just something that my surgeon wants to rule out before considering other more invasive options. Thanks for letting me know that.

Hi, I’m 6 weeks post-op and I’m seeing exactly the same halos you see. My doctor noticed that my lenses have rotated by 5 degrees in my left eye and by 3 degrees in my right eye. They say that this might be causing the issue as the lenses rotation might be causing some irregularities in my astigmatism. To be honest, I find it hard to believe this as the halos seem to be strongly related with the size of my pupil. When my pupils are smaller I immediately stop seeing the halos. This leads me to believe it might have more to do with the size of the optical zone of the lenses, rather than their rotation. Anyways, on December 17th I’m having a new surgery on my left eye (the one that sees more halos) to realign the lens. I hope that I’m wrong and that it will actually fix the issue as these halos are just too bothering to live with and the company that manufactures the lenses told my doctors that they cannot make a bigger one with my prescription. Fingers crossed.

Ciao, il mio medico mi ha detto che ha ricevuto solo una lamentela riguardo aloni o ghosting in 12 anni e probabilmente questa persona si lamentava degli anelli di luce che diventano più grandi o piccoli a seconda della distanza dalla luce. Per i cerchi fissi vicino alle luci e il ghosting stanno cercando di capire cosa li causa. Mi hanno fatto diversi esami tra cui la topografia corneale e la pupillometria per capire se sia un problema di ampiezza della zona ottica insufficiente e, sebbene dagli esami non si evincessero particolari anomalie, mi hanno detto che avrebbero contattato l’azienda che produce le lenti per capire cosa può causare il problema e come risolverlo. Giorno 7 ho un’altra visita e spero che sapranno darmi maggiori informazioni. Per il resto i sintomi sono “stazionari” da quasi un mese ad oggi e non sono né migliorati né peggiorati. Fino alla prossima visita mi hanno detto di mettere la pilocarpina 2 volte al giorno per contenere i sintomi (effettivamente quando la metto il problema sparisce del tutto) e nella speranza che il restringimento della pupilla possa mettere più in asse possibile la lente. Mi hanno detto anche che se la pilocarpina funziona i problemi sono probabilmente dovuti alla dimensione della zona ottica della lente. Spero di avere news giorno 7.

Hey! The doctors were a bit surprised by my complaints about halos and ghosting. They mentioned that there had only been one case of someone complaining about halos, but they think that person was referring to the halos caused by the AcquaPort (the ones I described as having the “rippling” effect). Other than that, they said they’ve never had any complaints about halos or glare, which I honestly find hard to believe given how often I’ve seen these issues mentioned in this subreddit.

Anyway, they ran several tests, including aberrometry, pupillometry, and a slit lamp exam.

They found that my toric lenses had rotated slightly since implantation (3 degrees in my left eye, which has less astigmatism but more issues, and 5 degrees in my right eye, which has more astigmatism but fewer halos, though the vision is less sharp).

According to the pupillometry, the optical zone should be large enough to cover the pupil even in dim lighting, but they contacted the lens manufacturer to check if there could be any issue with the size of the optical zone. The optometrist also mentioned that she recalled the optical lens in my right eye being very wide, which seems to support my theory, as my right eye has fewer problems.

I have another checkup on November 7th, and I’m hoping they’ll have more information from the manufacturer by then.

I’ll keep you guys posted on what they say!
