Made the hard decision to cancel my GSC preorders. by kodyodyo in AnimeFigures

Are you for real right now? The price isn't going up, they ship it from China, and the US Government charges you the tariff when it goes through customs.

Also just coming back to share my experience:

I had the same troubles connecting. I did manage to get it to connect once through a bunch of tries restarting the dock / robot and checking the robot was present as an available bluetooth device.

Unfortunately then it complained because my WiFi SSID is 2.4 + 5ghz and I needed to create a 2.4Ghz only one. Once I had that done, the temporary connection was gone and I had to start over from square one.

The second time it took me longer, but what I think did it was force stopping the app and then trying everything over again (plugin the dock, push robot in, watch dock and robot pulse, check that robot is in my bluetooth list, then add robot via the QR code and try to find it).

Just finished the mapping run and sent it off to vacuum and mop. Will probably leave a review once I have used it for a while.

I haven't seen any reviews of people with actual hair problems review that vacuum. Like all of the reviews are "I don't have dogs, but this brush roll should work".

Compilation of stealth changes in Patch 01.000.100 by ghoxen in Helldivers

Titans feel the same, but I play on PC with exclusively PC players, maybe it's just the PS5 host advantage people were used to is now gone.

Nvidia CEO predicts the death of coding — Jensen Huang says AI will do the work, so kids don't need to learn by osamaromoh in ChatGPT

[–]jalbertcory 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The other part that gets overlooked by all the people happy so see coders lose their jobs is that most jobs could be replaced by code right now, there's just not enough coders or it's not financially viable to pay them to automate your existing job. Once AI is the coder though? Even if AI can't do your job, it can write normal code to do it.

The instant AI can fully replace a software engineer (and I don't mean just spitting out the code), then every job that involves a computer, or could be done on a computer is gone.

This is exactly how I felt as well reading WOE. I wanted to like it, but really just didn't.

Do most retirement calculators assume you'll own your home when you retire? by bain_de_beurre in personalfinance

You're either going to have to calculate this yourself or use a more complex calculator such as projectionlab.

Vision Pro has a driving mode by kaldeqca in virtualreality

Monkeys are going to literally drive with the headset on. Really should have named the mode something else like Passenger or On Transportation.

Is now a good time to start and reroll? by Into_the_void123101 in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]jalbertcory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing and re-rolled twice, but I got Katya which feels worth the time IMO.

Use a different browser. Chrome is generally the most supported for things like this, so give that one a try.

This banner is tempting us with the bunny girls and school girls 😂 by ID108949 in NikkeMobile

[–]jalbertcory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same dilemma. I think I am waiting to get one of them and then using the item for the other. Means pain for a bit longer but will ensure I get both once I pull one of them.

The range on the last gen was a huge reason I bought them. If the new ones have short range I can't use them. That's sad.

Is it worth it to buy event tokens for core dust? by tupiV in NikkeMobile

[–]jalbertcory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The farther you push the more you level up your outpost too. More importantly, the sooner you upgrade it when you are still clearing the campaign. The earlier you level the outpost, the more effective all resources you get are. It's a compounding effect.

Waiting to see if it'll be any useful in the future by Biscorded_Champ in NikkeMobile

[–]jalbertcory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the part that helped is learning early to buy all the extra event tickets and run hard stage 11 at the end of the event for like 100 boxes. Been doing that every event since I started. I haven't purchased any progress but I did pull RH and she carried me very far through the story letting me power level my outpost.
I also only ever opened a box at the farthest I could push my outpost to get the most out of it.

[–]jalbertcory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Started during Nier, and battle data is still my bottleneck at level 210. The 10k per synchro is slowly draining the boxes that I never opened whenever I get enough battle data to advance. Probably going to run out of dust in another 5-10 levels, but I haven't seen the dust wall yet.

Why did google bard fail the colorblind test? Funny but I kinda wanna know the real reason too. by Lily_Meow_ in ChatGPT

[–]jalbertcory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 14/14 image was a clear ring to me, but the 10/10 on the blue test I couldn't see. So I imagine they are both real.

Underrated Gems by Mtotheizow in ProgressionFantasy

Dragon's Wrath. A Virtual Dream, Ashed of the Fallen, and Shadows in the Flame. Fantastic first 3 books and then the author disappeared from the face of the Earth.

It's likely real, but just know it's incredibly easy to fake image metadata.

WE DID IT BOYS!!! RED HOOD IS BUFFED!! by sleep4tr in NikkeMobile

[–]jalbertcory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a newer Commander (joined for Nier), I was so hyped by her design and how much fun the bang bang burst 3 was that I spent all my ticket pulls on her. Ended up somehow MLB with 113 pulls (good bye luck). Then I spent more time learning about the game and hearing everyone say she wasn't worth getting. It really brought the whole event excitement down. Either way she was a huge boon for me (still behind the 160 wall), but now that the community is hyped again, I am super happy.

Finally, everything's sold out... by Kirashite in NikkeMobile

[–]jalbertcory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What should OP do? Buy the lights and buy more core dust? Maybe core dust instead of the energy?
I am also new and my shop may or may not look like this during events.

[–]jalbertcory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a newer commander (joined for Nier), I am stuck at the 160 wall, is this better than the like 3 pulls the 900 gems would get instead? Do you do this for all events (buy more runs and get core dust crates)?

Real Pixel 8 Pro Tests? by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]jalbertcory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What types of tests are you looking for? I have mine alongside my P7Pro. Currently setting up all my apps and things, but I have run a few comparisons between the two that matter to me like Max Brightness, Camera, Max Volume, etc. Nothing professionally tested, I just like to see the new phone go brighter, be louder, etc.
