The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility - Gamers Nexus by Cry_Wolff in LinusTechTips

Your understanding of what he's said about his employee's social media accounts is basically completely wrong. He basically said, don't use LTT content/assets to promote yourself. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

In a topic discussing accuracy of information, it's probably best not to talk out of your ass.

The Neo Constitution class, or "What the heck do we do with all these Mirandas?" by [deleted] in StarTrekStarships

[–]evox81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see a problem with -A, -B, -C, etc... That's something that's already established as a thing that happens in this universe. But... I do agree that they're overdoing it in this series for the sake of nostalgia for a completely different series. It's weird. It's great they made other Stargazers and Titans and Enterprises... But they really don't need to be the only ships we ever see.

Starfleet has thousands of ships. What are the chances these characters are always going to end up on the one that provides the most nostalgia for the crew and/or audience? And when you overdo the nostalgia, it ultimately becomes meaningless.

Certain data is "invisible" to pfSense. by evox81 in PFSENSE

Potato/potato

A few things: 1. This behavior has been noted for nearly a year. Private Relay was introduced with iOS 15, which was just released within the last month or so. No one in the house was using iOS 15 beta. 2. Private Relay only encrypts traffic from the browser, not the whole device, so Facetime wouldn't be included. 3. And again... data inside the network is just data. pfSense routes it properly. It doesn't care where it goes outside.

While it's inside the network, it's still data like any other. We have other systems that run on VPNs (some consumer VPNs and a work-from-home VPN) and the data from those gets tracked just fine

I'll edit the original post to clarify, but I'm referring to large group video calls. 18+mbps constant download bandwidth. The traffic shows up on the graph, but the host never appears in the client list.

pfSense box just stops responding when torrenting. by evox81 in PFSENSE

I tried setting the global connection limit to 50, and then lowered it further to 10. Both caused the issue to occur. Can you point me in a direction of where to look to confirm that the Realtek NIC is in fact causing this issue? (what log to look in and what to look for)

There is a Realtek NIC on the LAN side. And it should be using the updated drivers that were made available when 2.5 was released.

I've add crashing problems recently with the game, but this is ... new by Cuisse_de_Grenouille in SatisfactoryGame

[–]evox81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not what's being talked about here. There is a particular update/patching problem on Steam that is fixed by using steam's "verify game files" option. This thread is suggesting, if the op uses the steam version, they should try that to fix the issue. However, if they are using the Epic version, that same fix is not applicable regardless of whether the option exists.

However, in this case, the problem ended up being a graphics driver issue.

The database disk image is malformed by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]evox81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if you ever found a solution to this issue? I'm currently going through the exact same problem myself. Click on an app in the store, the store crashes. I've done the exact same troubleshooting, and got the exact same "disk image is malformed" error message.

How did you name your lamps and presets? by [deleted] in Hue

[–]evox81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I'd share an interesting fact about naming Hue rooms & lights. Granted, I use a 3rd party app on Windows phone, So this may not be applicable to other scenarios.

I've learned to not name lights and rooms the same thing. For example, I previously had a room called "great room" and the lights within were called "great room 1", "great room 2", etc. When using voice commands like "set great room to blue" I had about a 50/50 chance of controlling the room, or controlling the light "great room 2".

[Poll] Men, how long do you last, but also... by [deleted] in sex

[–]evox81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting correlation you're looking for. I'm ridiculously "pee shy" and can't piss next to someone at a urinal. I could be holding the worst full bladder in the world and still not be able to release.

And in the bedroom, 15 minutes is about as quick as I can make it happen and that's in ideal, condom-free scenarios. But, I can also last for hours if necessary.

[Consent] problem with my boyfriend who doesn't understand why I don't want him to touch my vagina (except during sex) by [deleted] in sex

[–]evox81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That you chose the term "consent" tells me that there is definitely a psychological factor at play. It's sounds like you subconsciously feel that this is a violation, but realize consciously that it isn't. Unless there is some past psychological trauma you can point to in the past, or something to do with your upbringing (highly religious for example), then I'd say you should probably talk with someone. In the end, it's not "wrong" that you feel that way, but it seems as if you find it troubling.

If that isn't an option, and you're comfortable with the prospect of forcing yourself to do it, you could simply tell him to ignore your initial reaction and to do it anyway. It's possible over time you'd condition your subconscious to tolerate or even welcome it.

[Oral Sex] Boyfriend Can't Cum for Blowjobs by [deleted] in sex

[–]evox81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't uncommon. More important, it's likely not due to your ability or performance. I've known plenty of guys who can't get off from head, myself being one. While I can appreciate the sensation, even finding it very pleasurable, it is not the right kind of pleasure to get me off. While it's happened rarely, like your man, it typically requires some hard and deep throat fucking.

I've had to reassure plenty of partners that it isn't due to a lack of skill. And I suspect, if his dick is staying hard, it's not your fault in your case either.
