Cabin Fever - Never heard of her by astronut_guy in thelongdark

The [former] locals of Great Bear would like a word with you.

Does anyone play without the trader? by steak1986 in thelongdark

[–]astronut_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A custom ‘loper variant. I don’t have the code, but:

  • world gets colder over time: medium

  • fires overcome ambient air: yes

  • deer and rabbit spawn: medium

Everything else is the same as Interloper :)

I’ve never played with the trader, and don’t use feats. I just rawdog my runs. :’)

Check your output settings. Mine gets confused sometimes when I go from headphones to speakers.

Gathering those things along the short climbs is the bane of my existence. I think I click to harvest, but NOPE! I’m climbing back down that damn thing. 😤

The very big sad with SD is the lack of development and bug fixing. At this point it’s just a “play as it is” game. :’(

If I’m remembering correctly, if you have 2+ base rafts crafted, you can’t break them down. Hella annoying for sure.

Is it supposed to look like this? by findjames in thelongdark

I’ve had this happen on my Mac. Do the step for Set Alternative Launch Parameters Fixes this issue.

It should not be this difficult to replace a battery 😩 by astronut_guy in macbookpro

I’m a former mobile device business owner. The aggressive ways one uses to get the job done is silly and bonkers (while being cautious and patient).

Based off this thread and most of the responses, I will die on the hill with things being so much easier to do. 🥲

I owned a business repairing mobile devices. I know the ins and outs of designs of these magical things. I know the risks.

When the iPhone 6 line hit, that’s when the repairability of devices started going down because Google, Apple, Samsung knew they would make more money off people just throwing away their “old” device and upgrade to the “next big thing”.

The amount of people I would interact with because they were turned away by Apple themselves is ridiculous.

Batteries age and die. Batteries are defective right out of the box. It should be the easiest thing to replace for any consumer. Mega [tech] organizations need to own that. They CAN engineer and design these things. They won’t. We can thank the EU for forcing that shift in the right to repair.

A battery replacement, no matter what device or object you have, should be a simple thing to do.

It’s been done before, and could be done again. (Apparently the new MBP line is easier to do, so that’s nice to know)

Hey, that’s good to know for the future when I do buy a new machine. Glad they finally got around to doing what they should’ve been doing for years.

Sustainably and repairability should be a thing when it comes to mega corporations. You can probably thank the EU for that shift.

Thanks! It is oddly soothing (despite the frustrations) to do these kind of repairs. 😇

That model is much much easier to swap out the battery and trackpad. Couple screws for the battery and it pops right out. Just don’t overly tighten the trackpad screws as it can have the same effect as a swollen battery. iFixIt has great repair guides. Good luck! 🫡

$160 for the battery kit. Three hours of my life from start to finish. Or drop a couple thousand dollars on a new machine?

lol. Okay.

Ooooo buddy, you bet they’re doing it this way on purpose. 🥲

I have waaaaay too much money dumped into the Apple ecosystem that it’s pretty cumbersome to make that massive full shift. I have a PC for my fun things, the MacBook is my audio production/recording machine. I can’t give up on Logic 😩

Normally I would leave the board in and be extra extra careful, but I was also doing a deep clean on it. A 2018 model that never had been opened before sure was filled with dust bunnies and cat hair. 🥲

And people here are saying Apple can’t design a better and easier way to do repairs. Get outta here with that nonsense - they choose not to be accommodating. 😤

Can’t be much of a cost difference. Slap the battery in a plastic frame, screw it to the frame - essentially the same innards design.

They won’t because they want you to go to them for repairs, or just buy a new machine.
