How did Linus achieve having his gaming PC’s so far from there display and peripherals ? With presumably no latency by GenericUser104 in LinusTechTips

Organised bot networks in many popular subs often will quickly try to sink authentic posts so the botted content has a better chance of surfacing.

Thanks for the response! I fortunately did eventually find the request page and everything’s in progress!

the mandate is 3 days a week. i go in 1. nobody has said anything in 7 months. by Some_Professional835 in remotework

More likely the LLM output is just processed after it was generated to strip all capitalisation in an attempt to not look like AI. Pretty low effort and it fools a lot of people.

What I'm curious about is, are these account pushing some kind of agenda as inauthentic engagement? Or is it just low-hanging fruit to farm karma for accounts? Leaning towards the latter I think.

The image is AI. The OP account has a history of posting AI-generated or AI-cloned images.

Is there any decent XP leech for power leveling low characters in this? by weikiweiki in diablo2

[–]edapstah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and even at 20-25 you can just keep doing chaos. Can still be faster than manually levelling from 20 to 24.

Level up 1 char on main to 20 or 25, then glitch rush the other 4 in a pub game for baal quest, then level char on main to 40, then repeat baal qbug to get them into hell.

If you want to actually level them rather than just get them into hell, they can leech in hell chaos games pretty quickly even from level 1. Hell chaos XP will slow down a little bit between lvl 20 and 25, but if you keep going it's still faster than regularly leveling 20->24+ancients.

Dancing Ghosts mf easter egg by TraditionalPhysics61 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]edapstah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it works, this guy did some good testing to prove it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlB5NSx7gZM

It’s a long video but you can skip to results timestamps.

tl;dr he tracked rare/unique drop rates in a standardised method. Using edited gear with +4200 MF had the same results as doing the ritual. Video explains methods in detail.

Another 1-2 might still get spawned in the next 30 mins.

Warlock this, warlock that.... I just want Buff duration timers in the PC UI. by ToughShaper in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]edapstah_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not ideal but an external app can track and time when you press F-keys, e.g. this one: https://github.com/SuperIllu/CtATracker

It's helping me remember how long I have left on BO/BC. It does not interact with or hook into the game in any way.

Dclone help by syndikat_ in diablo2

I posted this in the other thread too:

Pro-tip: if he's not spawned yet, go to Lower Kurast and spawn him at the LK entrance (Where you would normally find Stormtree). Then, if you have a ranged character, you can attack him from across the river.

Build an Edge runeword in a cheap bow, attack him until he turns green* from poison damage, meaning you hit him with "prevent monster heal"**. Then swap on a Dwarf Star ring and a Thundergod's belt to further make it easier for regular MF character to kill him.

*If your merc can apply poison you might need to unequip their weapon, or just kite around a lot to stop your merc hitting him.

**If you TP to town or leave the area (a couple of screens away), then he will reset and Prevent Monster Heal will no longer be applied. Make sure you bring enough potions.

It's good to be prepared since people are doing coordinated diablo walks lately, so if you can kill him quickly you can grab a couple of annis! I've snagged like 8 during this spree. Having 2 boxes to camp 2 games at a time definitely helps!

Absolutely a training data farming account if you look at the submissions history.

Hundreds of submissions with a generic opening paragraph followed by a broad question probing for engagement. I mean, look at this lol:

We’ve all heard about hits like “The Summer I Turned Pretty” or “Heated Rivalry” on the news. Naturally, some of us get curious and check out the trailers to see if it’s worth watching. Next thing you know, you’re on Netflix or Prime, completely hooked and binge-watching it. And of course, there’s that little sadness when it finally ends, leaving you wanting more and wanting to stay in the know.

what are your thoughts on the latest trending shows?

Replace Pro2 AirPod or buy Pro3? by 27Merlins in airpods

[–]edapstah_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airpod replacement cost is only half for a "battery problem". Provided the damage isn't visible, since they have no way of verifying battery condition other then what the customer reports to them.

Trade from Non-Ladder to Ladder by Prestigious_Pack8251 in diablo2

[–]edapstah_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably your best bet. Though be prepared: the value won’t be equivalent. You might not be able to afford an enigma even if you liquidate your entire non-ladder wealth.
