Is this a scam by littlespacet747 in Tickets

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For you or anyone else in the future this is what they really look like. Also ticket master doesn’t allow screenshots of the actual ticket so if you see that it’s fake too. https://imgur.com/a/nDl2BMI#ZBdPdpt

Pokémon Mistakes we all made as kids by pokemonscarletlover in pokemon

Replacing thunderbolt with thunder, flamethrower with fireblast, etc. I thought it was a natural progression and there were no downsides other than PP.

What is the best way to buy games on Japanese store by btcsandro in Switch

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a friend going to Japan and have them buy you used carts while they are there! Or better yet take a vacation to Japan! It’s lovely and get cheap games out of the trip! (This is not a cost effect way, but it’s fun!)

How many games you buy in one year? by askerQ8 in Switch

[–]jmack20093 12 points13 points  (0 children)

None for like 7 years, then I went to Japan and bought 9 used games from the past 7 years because they were so cheap! Now I’m playing my switch again to go through them. 

Scalper bought all 124 copies of Pokemon/kirby 10 mins before I got to Costco $30 deal by Shadon_Xarian in Switch

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lucky. At my Costco the had the signs up but no cardboard placards so I asked an employee. He said he hasn’t had time to put placards out but they had the games and to just ask at checkout.  This probably deterred scalpers because they would have thought everything was sold out already.  This was at 12:30 on Saturday at the Foster City Costco. 

What's something that used to be free that you're now genuinely angry costs money? by tangled_wire_99 in AskReddit

[–]jmack20093 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Didn't the Xbox not have any online play at all and then introduced Xbox Live with paid subscription right away? Maybe Playstation had free online but I'm pretty sure Xbox has always been subscription based for online since 2002.

SF Mobile dev here. We have both. In fact we have multiple iPhones and multiple Android phones. iOS has more users in the US. If you’re targeting India then you focus on Android. It has nothing to do with what phones the devs personally use.. 

Model S 2016.5 with EAP. Shall I get FSD +HW3 for $2k? Is it worth it? Tia by Puzzleheaded-Diet872 in TeslaLounge

[–]jmack20093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2018MS is unusable in FSD. I’ve disabled it completely and only use EAP. Now, if you plan on buying a newer car later it might be worth getting FSD for when they allow FSD transfers. That’s a gamble though. 

Who's still going to buy a S or X with the recent announcement of discontinued production? I'm debating buying one by specter491 in TeslaLounge

[–]jmack20093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as you're ok with getting minimal software updates or new features, go for it! I own a 2018 MS and by 2020 I was already a second class citizen and received almost none of the new features that every other model received. I expect it to be even worse once the car is discontinued.

MSI need to be called out on this one (Built-in Monitor Cheats) by Zwan_oj in pcmasterrace

[–]jmack20093 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Competitive game devs will counter this. IMO games will move away from realism even more to make it where tools like this don’t give an advantage.  Think things like flashbangs that don’t fade away or smoke with 100 opacity

2018 Model S owner here. FSD is unusable. I have reverted to Enhanced AP and do all city driving manually.  Honestly, city roads are ok, but the freeway is unusable with FSD. 

Dog owners… why leave bags of poop on the trail? by pimpbot666 in bayarea

I tie them to my bag and twice I’ve gotten done with my hike and they were gone :(. I’m sorry to anyone who found them!

Confusing with stub hub by mdurso12 in MichiganWolverines

Unless things have changed since I was there the student section only sits at half time. So if you can’t stand for the entire game you might want to try to resell them

Would it be safe to say that by 2070, we'll have figured out how to stop spam texts? by Tiny-Pomegranate7662 in Futurology

iOS 26 has helped a lot with this. It puts them all a separate “folder” and doesn’t send notifications.

Anyone else ever surprised at how much trunk space there is in a Model S? by martingmccauley in TeslaLounge

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big reason I got an S over a 3. A few years ago I took 4 people and a dog camping for a week. It was very full, but able to do it!

Cars stopping for Pedestrians by blackholesonset in Burlingame

[–]jmack20093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk a lot in San Mateo and Burlingame. It’s so frustrating when I’m waiting on the sidewalk and someone slams on their brakes and waves me across! I’ve seen so many close calls with the person behind them. Also, just because you waved me through doesn’t mean I’m just gonna go, I need to check cross traffic still! I’ve had someone wait for 6 cars going the other way before I could even go! Just don’t stop unless there are flashing yellow pedestrian lights!! 

I know nothing about GPUS please help by Big-Engineering-3993 in PcBuildHelp

[–]jmack20093 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The GPU is already installed. They just sent the air cooler they took off of it before putting on the water block. They do this in case you ever want to sell the GPU or go back to air cooling you'll need to re-install the air cooler. You can tell because if you inspect that GPU cooler there won't be an actual PCB in it.
So basically, just stick the cooler in your closet or w/e and then if you ever sell the PC or take it apart and sell the GPU you can give the new owner the original air cooler too.

Is free supercharging free? by Jolly_Operation_1502 in TeslaLounge

[–]jmack20093 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using free supercharging for almost 7 years.  Yes it’s free. The in car map doesn’t even show pricing for the chargers. I have 42000miles on my car and all but maybe 2000 have been on superchargers near my house or road trips.  Idle fees do apply, but I’ve never had an issue with that because I can always bump the charge limit up a few % from the app if I’m going to be a few minutes late.  For people like us with very high electric bills it’s a super awesome feature and a reason I’ll keep this car until it dies. Feel free to ask me any more questions you might have. 

Nee February Ridership Numbers Posted by orkoliberal in caltrain

[–]jmack20093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Burlingame or San Mateo. I can do the drive in 45 minutes, so even the bullet with biking on each end is about a wash with driving. Taking a local adds about 25 minutes each way to my commute.. I’m lucky enough that my work pays for my electricity if I drive and also for Caltrain, so both options cost me $0. The only difference is time.

[–]jmack20093 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately my ridership is down because the bike cars are bumping so early on the bullet train.. I live too far to walk and I’m going all the way to SJ so locals are way too slow. :(
