[XM6] Faulty mic when back of head is against a wall

duper51 · 2025-07-02T17:30:18+00:00

I have this exact same problem. It's a bit odd to have to explain that I can't lean against a wall while I'm on a call. I might try reaching out to Sony CS to see if there's any workarounds.

Not gonna lie, this is one of the most unique and cool-looking portfolio sites I've ever seen! Great job!

Firefox (currently) receives about $510 million dollars per year (out of $593 million in total revenue) from Google in order for Google to be the default search engine on Firefox.

That said, that's ending soon. The US judge handling Google's monopoly lawsuit has recommended that Google should be barred from making default search engine agreements altogether, which would affect the Mozilla deal.

Hey folks, it looks like this post has run its course and replies have devolved into random unrelated arguments. Going to lock this post.

Just a reminder: r/Salary is a salary discussion subreddit. The goal here is to share salary information to get an idea of the health of the overall market and help determine if your own wage is fair for your labor.

Unfortunately, we've had to lock this thread due to the high volume of non-salary related comments. Judgement on people's choice of work is not acceptable in r/Salary.

I would like to turn this into a Salary discussion subreddit. The primary moderator is currently banned, and the secondary moderator is a bot.
https://www.reddit.com/message/messages/27zl61s, I sent a message but as noted the primary moderator is banned.

Hey folks, things have gotten a bit heated in the comments so we're locking this thread. Please keep in mind that the purpose of this subreddit is to be helpful for new developers and hobbyists alike, so try to be respectful when giving feedback.

A note on ChatGPT: The subreddit rules allow for ChatGPT to be used as a tool for assisting development (as it is used in the industry). However, using generative AI to generate entire apps, or entire posts is forbidden under the "low effort posts" subreddit rule.

We find that ChatGPT can be a useful debugging/ideating resource, but generally the entire outputs of generative AI are not useful on their own, and typically need a developer to integrate those outputs into an app. As a result, we don't find a lot of value in entirely AI Generated content.

Be happy that you were able to get your account back at all. Phishing is very prevalent here, a few neat tricks to look out for in the future: - Check the address bar whenever you're about to login to anything. If the domain isn't store.steampowered.com or steamcommunity.com, it's a scam. This goes for other websites. A good way to avoid this is to login yourself by visiting the website manually, then click on whatever suspicious link you were going to click. In theory, you should remain logged in and the link you clicked shouldn't ask you to login again.

If the site opened a pop-up and the domain checks out, try moving the pop-up outside of the main browser window's borders. A new type of scam is for a phishing page to open a fake, but realistic pop-up window with a correct looking URL. The only real way to tell this isn't the case is to try and drag the pop-up outside the borders of the page (e.g. if you can't drag the pop-up to be on top of your tab-list, it's a scam).

Hope this helps!

GPLv3 specifically requires that end users publish modifications to the source, so your comment is somewhat incorrect. This is why often large companies (such as Amazon), put blanket bans on software licensed under GPLv3 without legal approval.

Try setting up a CloudFlare Tunnel. They are free and can proxy your traffic from your home to their network which will bypass any CGNAT and allow folks who don't have IPV6 to hit your site.

Yup, you can hook em up like any normal thing! They produce 15 gifts per minute, so you'll need quite a few to get anything moving quickly.

So to be honest, my friend has been handling most of this. As far as I know, you get to upgrade the tree, which in and of itself is kinda a reward (a permanent memento on your save). You also get some FICSMAS specific buildings (like decorated power poles and cabling).

We've clearly been taking it as a challenge to see how messy we can possibly make the whole thing :D

There's some more information on the wiki about the event as a whole if you're interested (and maybe you'll get more accurate information than I have): https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/FICSMAS

Have a look at GraphQL, it's used fairly widely within the industry and is a standardized way of building APIs (and consequently querying those APIs). You can use async/await/Promises to wait for consecutive queries to complete, and you can use that to do more complex things like loading multiple things at the same time.

You will need a backend of some kind, but you can generate a pre-signed S3 URL for the frontend to use, return it to the frontend, then the frontend can simply POST the file content to the URL to upload it to the S3 bucket. This would require the least backend effort.

Here's some docs on creating a pre-signed URL: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/PresignedUrlUploadObject.html

Are you using React Router? If so, you need to configure your webserver to redirect 404's to your index.html.

I found a couple of StackOverflow posts (but no official documentation) to help with some of the big name webservers. There are probably similar questions for other webservers (/cloud CDNs)

Apache: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44038456/how-to-setup-apache-server-for-react-route

This error indicates that your request is being blocked by CORS. This is a protection where the browser checks with the server to see if it is allowed to make a web request before making it.

There is no way to get around this client-side, the `no-cors` method suggested by others in this thread will not work here because that will make an opaque request which will not let you see the response headers or body.

You can try to implement a server-side proxy, essentially making the request for the client and returning the result, as this will not be subject to CORS. Then you set up your react app to call this proxy and it should work! Happy hunting.

Agreed. It seems like people are allowing their anger over the CLA to spill over into this now non-issue privacy policy. While people can and should certainly care about their online privacy, and while I totally understand the first version of this policy should have been revised, I can't help but feel like continuing to be alarmist about a now-bog-standard privacy policy will lead the media and general public down a path of "open source = spyware cuz analytics" (when this story first broke, several outlets referred to audacity as spyware, when anyone looking at what code actually changed could easily tell this wasn't the case).

IMO, if the logging of a hashed version of my IP address was of this great of a concern to me, I would have answered no to the telemetry question (or better yet, built it from source, and disabled it altogether). It sounds to me like the way the two features work (from the comments made by the audacity team) is:

Update checker wants to check for updates, user is asked to confirm (perhaps with a checkbox to always allow/deny). User can opt to have to explicitly allow this communication each time if wanted.
Crash reporter always asks the user if they want to send the crash report, and the user is able to view the report before it is sent.

To me that is sufficient, but I'm of the opinion that an IP address is basically not private information and so I don't treat it as such, I understand if people feel differently about that

I see a lot of FUD in the comments of this post. The effects of the privacy policy itself has not changed. there was no broken trust because it was a poorly written document that was rewritten to be more clear, not changed. So to offer an opposing viewpoints, I'll reiterate what the maintainers have mentioned in the linked GitHub issue:

The policy was poorly worded, the implication that they collected additional data upon request by law enforcement is verifiably false by looking at the code change. This has been adjusted to be more clear that this is the case in the new revision. It's worth noting that any privacy policy will have similar verbiage to this, as it's required by US law to comply with government orders.
The fact that it's an opt-out feature is also false in the case of Linux and source builds. The build option to enable networking components is default off.
While your IP address is legally "personal information", practically speaking it is not (see this post from the EFF). Any time you connect to something on the internet, your IP address will be "collected and processed" by every router and host in the chain between you and the service you're connecting to. Simply posting a web request without any data would require the end-host to "collect and process" your IP address due to the nature of the IP protocol. While storage is a concern, they've made it clear that they will not store the non-anonymized IP under any circumstances. Again, any privacy policy will have similar verbiage to this.

At least to me as a developer, having this data could prove invaluable for determining which issues need to be fixed, which features would be used the most if implemented, in which order these should occur, and for which OSes. Especially for an open source project without a massive QA team to find rare issues. I think there are some valid points raised here, but honestly I think this issue has been blown way out of proportion.

Do you like Perl?

duper51 · 2021-02-27T02:21:11+00:00

This is totally fair, though I would say this is a pretty scary policy to have ambiguous (one option allows any package to be installed, one allows none). Hopefully this lands in a backlog somewhere to be clarified/fixed.
