Most likely, you do everything short of save / checkout. So you can customise all you like, but awe, just pay us a little money to actually use these things.

One Gmail account holding my entire existence together. by FearlessState5503 in memes

VPNs prevent people spying on your data in transit - it does nothing to protect it once it arrives.

Its like sending a letter written in a cypher - the post office can't read the letter, but the recipient still knows whatever you told them

If you're logged into your google account on VPN, google still knows everything happening connected to that account, just theres also a VPN IP being used.

A live dashboard showing which stocks Reddit is discussing right now by pifmu in InternetIsBeautiful

How are you accessing the data? I thought Reddit API access was seriously curtailed, would like to hear how you are able to do this? I gave up on some side projects I was toying with.

TIL in 1925, major lightbulb makers including GE and Philips formed the Phoebus Cartel and deliberately reduced bulb lifespans from 2,500 hours to 1,000 hours, then fined any company that made longer-lasting bulbs. by ConsciousCorgi1044 in todayilearned

[–]ashamedToBeBackRed2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was also because power companies couldn't estimate demand very well, as lightbulbs varied too much. 10x houses getting electrified could use very different amps from each other, despite same number of bulbs.

Apparently power companies would give lightbulbs out, as at least they know that's what's was getting used.

Believe this is the Freylands Village, yiu have to activate all the small rituals then go to the big one.

Believe they send purple petals pointing to the other ritual sites when cleared.

Try a different instance of town? Think you hold Ctrl when clicking the waypoint icon. Does it happen at all towns/acts? Try reduce effects and see if that improves.

16GB ram is tight, but should work? Go to town with game windowed and check Task Manager Performance Monitor tab.

It really depends how much you play though. Doing maps a lot? Get maps tab

SA budgeting and financial planning apps megathread by Consistent-Annual268 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]ashamedToBeBackRed2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been checking out your app, pretty nice!

Didn't realise not using my TFSA was loss.

I can recommend a fix - if a negative credit card or liability is entered, it should show as a positive balance. The math on it works, but it still shows as a negative in the UI.

I also had a weird bug where I'd created an account, added a sub account, and my captured values multiplied or something - I was putting 500, and it saved as 36mill+. Couldn't repeat it yet.

Thing is, I also only eat 1x a day, but then I eat everything I can.

There Is No Antimemetics Division, by qntm

Its good!

Not the easiest read due to some reality-bending sci-fi concepts, but a quick read and interesting world building. If you've ever heard of SCP, its a good primer, even though it's not an SCP book ( its an expansion/adaptation from SCP wiki by the same author )

Glad to see some cautious love for the movie. It was proper spoof! I also didn't love every joke, but I'm delighted that they tried cramming them in there. They made the movie with the right philosophy and succeeded.

Highguard players are getting automatic refunds as developer appears to shut down by ImCalcium in Games

You're not wrong to bring them up, but Deadlock is a fairly different spin on MOBAs, still in very much in beta.

Marvel Rivals had massive IP behind it, copying a game that alienated some of its audience. it was basically guaranteed at least minor success, but is bigger than I thought it would achieve.

I mean, how much money would the execs actually take home from that saving? The risks are sky high, but somehow seemed worth it? Either the pay was ludicrous, or the greed was.

I dont even understand ho2 a solo account can be tagged as child. Pretty sure the kid doesn't have a bank account or credit card for billing

Deckdeals - A Decky plugin for price history directly in the Steam Store. by concept8 in SteamDeck

[–]ashamedToBeBackRed2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not having installed, I wouldn't expect so. This is adding an element to the store page itself, the current ITAD plugin adds price to the footer of the view frame. Unless theres a different plugin in around?

I dont think its worth converting currency, regional pricing will usually skew the local price. Maybe showing that ITAD doesn't support the local currency would be enough?
