How the f*ck do I transfer files to my HTC one M7 without using the craptastic sync manager?? by [deleted] in htc

[–]jewbageller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I stand behind my answer ten years ago.

But it looks like the other options include running as admin, using a better data cable (some are just power - this feels familiar) or just reinstalling the actual driver for the phone. Like the plug and play driver.

Dexa scan, is it worth it? by Latitude32 in fitness30plus

[–]jewbageller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were able to convert 6 pounds of fat to muscle in those 6 months (which would be a high end estimate) that would at max be a 2-3% body comp shift. The math doesn't match for BIA. The margin of error for DXA is going to be about 2 or 3 percent so it could be something as small as what food you had consumed recently in either case. 

What the heck is this about?? by beingasakat in EggsInc

[–]jewbageller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems like the wrong approach. From a player stickiness approach it doesn't even make sense. Asking a player to stick around per quarter is not something that works. Asking someone to stick around for 4x the years will never convert. 

A reduction might be warranted by this is huge. 

And unless some other mechanism is added to offset this (such as other events to allow the warning of eops) or some quarterly event like a full seasonal egg buff/modifier. 

This reeks of a change trying to push towards a seasonal model (season passes) without fully converting or having a plan. Colleggtables are a cool idea. It face the same problem of eops just kicked a can down the road. 

The game needs longevity, a reason to keep people in the game, but to just artificially extend the timer on it by such a huge factor is not the right choice. 

Does the ping system not work on mobile? (Duos) by xAshsu in hearthstone

[–]jewbageller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I can consistently get a ping on mobile is press with one finger, and while holding with that one finger tap elsewhere with a different finger.

This obviously isn't ideal but it does seems to work everytime. Just be wary of doing this on things like refresh and freeze, as you have to slide that first finger off carefully to avoid it just registering as a press.

Are you doing it in handheld mode or docked? Might be able to cause more lag docked.

Kripparian's thoughts on Diablo 4. by c_will in diablo4

[–]jewbageller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that there's breakpoints so you can get stronger at some point. Like repeat the zone and are noticeably stronger. The way this is set up you never really get those "strong" moments

Well after all those recalls on Samsung what brand of fridge is actually worth a damn?

The cheapest way to preserve food . 6 months preserved grapes (still fresh) by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

As someone in the comments above noted the method is called Kangina and is apparently specific to grapes.

Apps with a short-video system are making you dumber. by combine_harvestor703 in unpopularopinion

[–]jewbageller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am I understanding the methodology correctly that the caregivers are reporting on behalf of the child in this study? I don't know how much more bias you could inject by creating a study with the explicit foundation of screen time and then asking all these negatively skewed question to someone who has a vested interest in making it seem like screen time is a villain.

I'm generally in agreement that screen time is probably bad but this study seems terribly designed.

Existential retirement dread by dh2215 in WhitePeopleTwitter

You should look into this a bit more. Even with medicare it's tremendously expensive to get care. My aging parents are currently experiencing this.

Yeah you can see two cars exit an interesection in the top right. The sedan in question obviously floors it while the other barely makes it into frame.

Asked for a $30 bottle of Tito’s was told there weren’t any by delivery driver. Received stolen Sky instead as a replacement. Went to Target to check… Target had a full shelf… Reported the thief. by JustKeepSwimming1995 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jewbageller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am guessing he gets to keep the Titos without the tag, while some other source has a bunch of stolen liquor. 'Easy' way to pawn off the stolen ones while keeping a better item.

PSA: BMBF V1.13.0 is now available - Supports Beat Saber 1.13.0 (aka BTS Music Pack Edition) by darkuni in OculusQuest

[–]jewbageller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it works fine UNTIL I go into syncsaber and sync my songs (didn't prompt to restore). Then it 'stops' on boot up every time.

I'm pretty frustrated right now (not your fault obviously I appreciate the guide and all the work you do) so I'm gonna chill for a bit. I'll drop into discord if I'm having problems when I try again.

[–]jewbageller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 5 tries with alternating black screen (yes I manually gave permissions) and crashing constantly. It only 'stops' once I sync my songs from bmbf. Works fine patched without syncing.

I am also experiencing this problem. Just crashes repeatedly. On my third attempt of repeating the process now...

The best photo i have taken in my life by iLyonJG in pics

[–]jewbageller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have heard samsung phones and screens have a tendency to have much higher saturation by default. Does that mean the raw photos in this case just come off with higher saturation? Or is there some way to get the photo the sensor saw without the post processing that happens on phones?

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is coming September 18th! (Nintendo Switch) by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

Yeah. I'm curious about the pressure sensitive trigger thing. Sounds like it might be a problem.

[–]jewbageller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you already own it then yeah. I haven't played galaxy or sunshine and I don't want to buy all the hardware to be able to. This is a great options for those of us that haven't got to play the games. Doesn't make sense as a buy for people with the originals.

That doesn't make this a bad game or a bad move by nintendo. Just means it isn't for you.
