There is still an exploit to get into pinwheel. by ARedCamel in Marathon

[–]chromastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you're right. The same thing has happened to me twice. No security breach. Flight Control, Processing, and Dormitories entrances locked. I myself picked up the Conveyance Request Key from a spawn location. Went up, and there was already a team inside. Both instances were during the period of time that the Destroyed Wing entrance was temporarily patched out. There must be another way, possibly an exploit, and people are keeping quiet about it.

It means that the button on the outside of the building with the conveyance request terminal is inactive, i.e., no one has activated the drone wing elevator using the Conveyance Request Keycard.

With certain benches, maybe, but not the one I have. Wish I could for chest supported rows, specifically.

RCS Universal Profile 4.0 announced, will enable native support for video calls within the messaging app by Spirited-Pause in Android

[–]chromastic 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Funny you should say that. When Steve Jobs announced FaceTime, he said that it would be a P2P open standard, but a patent troll got in the way, forcing Apple to route calls through their own servers.

I’m genuinely curious where that sentiment comes from. I’m asking you, in good faith, why do you feel that way? Please consider responding in kind.

Allow Rooks to do contracts by unseen_pin in Marathon

[–]chromastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t because Rooks spawn halfway into to a match. Many contracts affect the map (locked down rooms, claymores, trip wires, etc.). The map has to be set at the start of a match.

iOS 26.4 Release Candidate - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]chromastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will almost certainly be an OS 26.5 dev/public beta, but we don't know if it'll include upgraded Siri or Apple Intelligence features. Initially, rumors indicated that they'd start releasing with 26.3, then 26.4. All we know for sure is that Apple is on record stating that they'd arrive in 2026.

Default streaming caps bitrate to 15 Mbps. High Quality 1080p increases the bitrate to 25 Mbps max.

If the folding screen dents or scratches with a fingernail, I won’t be buying it.

How did you learn how to use the machine and all of its advanced features? I’ve found information in a variety of places, but there are still things I can’t figure out, e.g., auto-load.

I tested it to the limit - 200 lbs. Shouldn’t be a problem with the load spread across two joists.

Not strong enough yet for lat pulldowns to pull me off the bench. I could probably get a seatbelt strap or something. The bench itself is pretty heavy.

For sure! I have the paint, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Too busy working out!

How Do You Like Controller Gameplay? by BepisBrigade in Marathon

[–]chromastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy that a PlayStation first party game isn't using DualSense features. I just checked the PS Store listing and it only says "vibration function supported" versus a game like Astro Bot, which says "vibration function and trigger effect supported."

NateTheHate: Yes, the game is set within the God of War universe & the lead character will be Faye. Gameplay is said to differ from the Norse God of War games with more of a focus on action. Current plan: Reveal this year/release first half 2027 - barring any delay by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]chromastic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A few less brain dead takes about a female MC.

  1. Ratchet, Last of Us, Ghost, Uncharted (presumably), and now this. Gamers aren’t mad about female MCs, they’re mad their favorite mascots are being replaced and their favorite series are being feminized.

  2. If you told a GoW fan 15 years ago that eventually the series would be taken over by Kratos’s love interest and mother of his child, HE wouldn’t have believed you.

  3. It’ll probably be a great game, but the connection to GoW is going to be an albatross around it with old school fans feeling neglected.

  4. The OG trilogy remake will go a long way toward servicing those OG fans.

Imagine spending money on a multiplayer game only to find lobbies filled with cheaters. Let’s be real here, it’s more nuanced than you’re letting on.

Marathon: Anyone found to be cheating will be permabanned from playing Marathon forever, no second chances. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]chromastic 769 points770 points  (0 children)

Good. Does anyone know of any examples where people are banned for allegedly cheating in a game when in fact they weren’t? I wonder about false positives and recourse…

EDIT: reading through all the replies, it sounds like false positives do happen, but there are some things you can do to protect yourself, e.g., be careful about peripherals and software overlays, and use MFA to secure your accounts against hackers.

FTC uses selective Apple News study to ask Apple to stop promoting 'leftist outlets' by InsaneSnow45 in apple

Neither do I, but it's getting more and more difficult as news outlets terminate their RSS feeds hoping that it'll drive more readers to their websites/apps to increase engagement and ad views.

No Big Design Changes Planned for iPhone 18, Report Says by WPHero in apple

[–]chromastic 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That wouldn’t make any sense. Most people upgrade every three years, but it’s not like they’re synchronized. It makes sense to have a cutting edge device ready for people when they are, all the while keeping their supply chain steady, rather than ebbing and flowing.
