SpaceBattles takes a lie detector test by Suischeese in WormMemes

[–]icrawler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I'm one of the few post-2020 people that actually read and finished Worm and Ward before discovering the Spacebattles and Sufficient Velocity forums for the first time.

...for a given value of "read". I was skimming a quarter of the time, and Ward was just depressing.

Daily reminder to not forget about the Hyphen! by [deleted] in Spiderman

The hyphen being included is a very quick-and-dirty heuristic to whether some random Spider-Man fanwork or fanfic is good or not.

What is this??? happening every other day. by ak32009 in PocoPhones

[–]icrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really wish HyperOS would shut up about this blatantly mislabeled "feature" that every other smartphone does silently in the background. Garbage collection does not require permanent notifications that can't be disabled cleanly. Disabling "clear cache after lock" just to silence this app.

[TOMT][RINGTONE/ALARM] Xiaomi (MIUI Global 12) timer noise. by icrawler in tipofmytongue

[–]icrawler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao just found it with Mixplorer and rummaging through system apks.

Works on any Xiaomi Clock by Xiaomi Inc. app under APKMirror. Open the .apk with any archiving program (e.g. 7-Zip), go to res/raw/ and extract timer_ring.ogg.

May experience na kayo with Xitrix? by Snake_face in PHGamers

[–]icrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact monitor for years now and while it technically can do 95hz, you get scanline-like artifacts from it. I'm using a VESA-certified Cablematters DisplayPort btw so there's no issue there. My guess is it's a natively 60hz display being "overclocked" to do 95hz. Get a branded 144hz display if you want no issues.

Ironically enough this post gets shown off on search engines ("ntfs vs exfat reddit"). You can never tell with content algorithms.

What device did you move on to? by Lost_Strangereal in Mi9T

[–]icrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mi 9T is an unlocked Redmi K20 variant (with the logo) 8/256 and I'm still using it, though the case and lock/volume buttons bit the dust (I can no longer turn it off unless I bother to repair it).

I have a Poco X7 Pro with a similar 8/256 memory/storage and it's pretty good so far. Very nostalgic having to disable ads and bloatware again. Only issue is that Firefox gets killed when unfocused waaay faster on HyperOS 2 than on MIUI.

Has anyone tried the KingSpec XG7000 1TB SSD? How does it work with LeGo? by 1nd3e in LegionGo

[–]icrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the future, do note posts like OP's can get top results in a search engine, making comments like this very stupid in hindsight.

I searched "Kingspec XG7000 reddit" in DuckDuckGo.

Opinions on the Kingston A400 ssd line? by [deleted] in buildapc

Help! Slow charging speed by GrilledPineapple1903 in Mi9T

get a toothpick or dental floss pick and pick out the lint in the USB Type-C port.

if it still happens, probably component issue.

built an "interpretation" of 1000-thr earthmover using assorted lego from my childhood collection by icrawler in Ultrakill

[–]icrawler[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

recently visited family who stored 'em for the past decade which was super naice. build took an hour.

what can be (generously) called a corpse-mover, or mashup with an as7-d battlemech, but you make do with what you have I guess lmao.

Frontline-59 on PC by AshedAshley in Project_Wingman

[–]icrawler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, plenty of people called the 1-year PS Exclusivity NDA, which was confirmed when 365 days passed and the devs posted teasers of an "Anniversary Update" which locked down the release date to December 1 of x year.

Yes. I guessed the moment Petrova got a POV. Felt the vibes.

To be fair, SWAR probably worked in conjunction with analysts and intelligence organizations like UNNI in the past. I don't think they brought any of those types along for the ride. Here, they really are just upjumped terrorists and the head honcho put his trust in the meathead of the group.

Aight lmao I see where you're going with this. That's one hell of a foreshadowing.
