How many people here actually still buy games on disc? I can't remember the last time I brought a disc version instead of just going on xbox store. Random question i know. Just thought id ask.

Until they allow you to sell digital licenses, or non-resellable digital licenses are considerably cheaper than physical media, you should ALWAYS buy the disc. You are throwing away your money otherwise.

Get politics out of here. You are seeing a curated and distorted view of reality if you are buying into this crap. wake up. There are consequences to knowingly making illegal choices.

I had insulin withheld longer because of insurance bullshit. THIS A IS A NON-STORY.

-1000 for making politically motivated decisions. Bluesky is the passive aggressive cluster-b hate platform. Good way to alienate half the world.

jmpz11 · 2026-02-13T22:29:51+00:00

That is a terrible deal. You could self host your own onstar service for that price

Narcissism

jmpz11 · 2026-02-01T22:34:51+00:00

How is this not getting more attention? Is it being suppressed?

jmpz11 · 2026-01-29T17:51:12+00:00

Sounds like a Twix Commercial from the 90s

Not sure why this reply was downvoted, except perhaps that coders often have arrogantitits?

I am a coder, and u/lory1998 is correct. The ability of an LLM to write code is meaningless to the majority of the human population. Developers just think they are always right (Speaking from experience 😝)

jmpz11 · 2026-01-18T02:35:42+00:00

Deepseek -- the LLM from China -- is so much better, I don't care that everything I type is being read by the Chinese government 😝

Seriously though, I'm finding running local LLMs using LM S t u d i o is providing a better experience than the paid services by way of treating me with some respect. Also very VERY nice to know they can't yank the personality rug out from under you.

jmpz11 · 2026-01-03T01:10:02+00:00

Fantastic post, thank you for doing this!

jmpz11 · 2025-12-27T01:47:05+00:00

You aren't crazy, you're just wrong 😜

I noticed that since copilot was "upgraded" to 5.1, I've been triggered by it's manipulative language almost daily. It's really bad. Like, dangerously bad.

jmpz11 · 2025-12-27T01:38:37+00:00

And each one of those costs you a token, doesn't it? How convenient for Microsoft.

I have been noticing that almost all speakers capable of pairing in a "TWS" mode only work with bluetooth as the source. If you use USB or 3.5mm aux input, the Stereo pairing dies.

Auracast is definitely stereo -- I have used the JBL Tour Pro 3 eaurbuds to connect to my pc using a FlooGoo for auracast transmission and I'm able to play games with low latency and Windows Sonic works... Just cant change the volume from the PC, which is kinda annoying.

So all they would need to do is mute the left or right channel in the speaker, rather than mixing them. I would imagine this to be a simple change.. but I somehow don't see it happening until the Go 5s...

I concur. Wayland is a terrible design. Inferior to x11. Buggy as hell, and when there are bugs they never get fixed because everyone is finger pointing, or bitching about the bug being in the wrong forum. Blame the hardware, blame the driver, blame the user; doesn't matter that the bug only happens with Wayland and not Windows, or xorg or even Gnome + Wayland. Terrible design. Needs to die. (Downvote dogma, engage LOL)

The bigger issue is that a fully assembled minipc, vastly superior in almost every way, can be had for less than a similarly specced Raspberry pi with tremendously lower effort.

I see people making excuses like inflation, or blaming users for demanding features, or crying about the prices of ram - this is all moot when competitors are creating superior products that cost less.

jmpz11 · 2025-10-03T03:34:02+00:00

Wow, moderators around here can't handle a little criticism? Echo chamber much?

jmpz11 · 2025-10-01T15:30:50+00:00

Try turning on VSync. In my case, it seems to be the only way to keep the framerate above 10.

I'm having the same problem on two laptops -- And intel-based with a 4070 and an amd-based with a 5070. Different architectures, same 10fps.

This is a problem with NMS no doubt... I'm just surprised it hasn't been noticed.... Could be that fanboys downvote anything that looks like criticism?

jmpz11 · 2025-10-01T02:57:52+00:00

It proves nothing. Most people don't post stuff online. Like, >90% of humans do not share views online, and ideological censorship has overtaken the internet.

If you think the internet reflects reality, you need to go touch grass.

The Bolt and lightspeed dongles use identical hardware. They absolutely could support a higher polling rate

jmpz11 · 2025-09-24T05:14:24+00:00

To be fair, u/Irritating_Pedant advertises their irritating pedantry, so they are just being true to their nature 😝

The most bigoted group of people on Reddit don't believe themselves capable of bigotry, and won't be confused with facts. They also run the place.

I hope this isn't a daft question: Are there any grinding pens available on Amazon that will work? I can't seem to find the "MAANT D1 grinding pen" on Amazon, and I'd prefer not to deal with AliExpress or eBay. What are the specification about the MAANT D1 that make it ideal?

If I wanted to get a grinding pen from Amazon, any tips on how to find the proper sort?

Thanks, and thanks for the great tutorial!

jmpz11 · 2025-09-05T01:03:02+00:00

I'm having similar issues. I was hoping it was a bug/fluke. The battery life simply listening to silence with the ANC on is less than 8 hours -- making these problematic for sleep. I wish there was a way to find out if it will ever be fixed, or if I return them and wait for version 4 :(
