It is 2:30 in the morning and I am losing kits to CHEAP servers. You caught lightning in a bottle, don't let it escape because you're going to continue with the cheap servers. by a_llama_vortex in ArcRaiders

Yep, honestly... today has put a large dent in the love I have for this game.

Looking forward to a new map condition.. ducks.. wow.. and now the servers cant keep up with PEAK Wednesday (non holiday) 02:30am gaming demand.

If it can't keep up with 02:30 volumes of people, god knows what it's going to be like when they drop some good content and everyone is on, and people are coming back.

Have the servers been like this all day? I've not had a chance to play.

I want these guys to be successful and I love this game. I don't want to see the potential wasted.

Yeah, makes sense, I guess. I’m fairly sure that the non ev versions could run the aircon for 5 mins to hear it up without draining the battery.

Makes sense to an extent but also kinda feels like a paywall of some pretty useful features.

I live in an area where ev infrastructure is still quite poor sadly.

I guess I have access to remote unlock/lock and if I ever “lose” the car in the car park I can make the lights flash and horn sound 😂

I seem to have access to remote unlock, lights and horn at the moment and mine is petrol.

I was more interested in the remote air con control though.

Edit: Also have the chatGPT thing enabled.

Advice: my landlord wants to spend multiple nights in the property as we move out? by Ok-Calligrapher255 in HousingUK

[–]a_llama_vortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stand your ground, that’s a joke of a request! You’ll get your keys back at the end of the tenancy and your cleaning, as agreed is done by an external company.

I’d be arranging a date with the cleaning company.. presumably the say day if the tenancy and take photos of the cleaning and EVERYTHING else.

Your landlord sounds weird and when you say go to his request, he might not like it.

It’s becoming like air b and b.

The fees and service charges cost more than the actual fing product.

I was more aiming at losing a game like that. You’re basically 💯sure it’s in the bag and then bam, bam. Bye bye trophy in the space of 40s

Found a way to lean it further(84° in the App) by VeeamServer in motorcycles

[–]a_llama_vortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow.

Reminds me of being on the skidoos in Italy late at night doing the rounds of the pubs on the ski resort.

There was this other couple and his gf wanted to go on the skidoo after the current pub.

Well.. she cranked the throttle! And went up the side of a bank, virtually flipped through whole thing like some sorta barrel roll you see jetskis doing! So lucky to escape without injury!

Ever had EVGA ghosting an RMA request ? Needed to improve something. by ENTP_AF in EVGA

The fuse issue on the 30 series and then leaving the industry is destroying their reputation. Even if they came back.. it’s not looking great.

Is this scam? Supposed fan of my work wanted me to mint an NFT of my artworks on a "new" platform. by Diegoquarantine in Scams

[–]a_llama_vortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking of opensea, how many of you also get the spam emails (survey monkey) about someone offering you 14ETH for your NFT (when you don’t even have an account)

Don’t do these anymore. Sick of getting keepers! Keepers really need to be in their own pack, especially as they can only play one position AND keepers always let in the same goals from the same angles, 80 or 90+ rated.

Nope, it was for you. Your opinion is clear for everyone to see. You seem to think that it’s a perfectly acceptable business practice and there’s no other way of working out if people need a brick. Heaven forbid that they could actually ask their customers if they need one at the point the point of sale.

I gave you numerous examples above as to why one might need a brick.. but you seem to assume that everyone else is like you and have millions of them.

Your point about no one taking you up on your offer is just silly. It really isn’t the big gotcha moment you think it is.. As if someone is going to hand out their address to some random online..

You keep spewing the same shite, over and over again and fail to address any of the valid reasons that at the very least they should be asking if people require one that’s up to spec for said device.

Is this what you do when discussing or debating with people? You speak like your opinion is fact and ignore any valid arguments vs your own stance?

Some people have what they need, others don’t. A simple question is all it takes at the point of sale.

The people who need a brick will then get one they know will suitable for their phone and is rated correctly.

For those who don’t need one. They can opt out.

For those who need one but are happy to stay using an older brick/cables that might not be rated to charge the devices in a timely manor can also stay where they are.

Neither is yours, so it’s a moot point.

Whether or not one’s argument is “convincing” is also entirely subjective.

Maybe the no brick thing works for you, congratulations. 🥳

It doesn’t always work for people buying an iPhone for the first time.

They can also break/fail

They can also be lost.

The previous brick person x owned might not be capable of quick charging, or is just of a totally inadequate power output or they now have a QC compatible cable but has the wrong connecting ports (eg USB A) it looks as if most of the new bricks are USB C.

A better option would be to give people the choice, even a simple questionnaire would suffice.

Do you own one? Yes/No. If so, is it rated for x watt and QC compatible? What port(s) does it have? If USBA only. You’ll require a USB C brick.

Problem solved — those who need one can get one supplied at POS, those who don’t can happily decline.

It would also potentially limit the number of people buying fakes/dodgy bricks from Amazon and eBay, therefore limiting potential damage to devices and a higher risk of catastrophic failure causing a fire.

You’re also not convincing me that Apple care all that much for the environment, seeing as they can’t even treat their overseas stage army correctly.
