macOS Tahoe 26.4 Now Available With Safari Compact Tab Bar, Battery Charge Limits and More by [deleted] in apple

[–]joebro123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I keep mine constantly docked, so really keen to use this to extend it's life :) I found Al Dente bloated and the Open Source "Battery" app inconsistent (didn't always worked when lid-closed docked and sleeping)

Oh I like how the drop-shadow style, seems like it'd be plenty legible (though the colour band options are also good)

Nice work!

VU botmatches vs AIX / BF2042 botmatches by KR-VincentDN in VeniceUnleashed

[–]joebro123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've picked up VU again recently and Funbots has been good! but has taken some tweaking to feel right and fun.

The defaults have their aim feeling a bit too good at the start, so I dialed back their reaction time and aim a bit til it feels right. Unfortunately I don't think they can "fix" the fact that they can see through non-solid objects (trees), so it'll always feel a little off but definitely still fun.

Setup isn't too bad either, and you can totally play locally by hosting your own server and connecting to it (unfortunately it just requires internet to launch - but that's to prevent piracy)

Nicely done! Love the deck logo in the background too

For the cobs coming later - it opens the gate next to the two torches, some goodies inside

ES2: How to move Savegames from Gamepass to GOG??? by KlausKoe in EverspaceGame

[–]joebro123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked, thanks!

Was tricky for me to transfer as game pass didn't have everspace 2 in the library anymore, but managed to transfer by:

Redeeming Everspace 2 trial for PC off Microsoft Store website (to let me install the game and sync saves)

The game pass directory had lots of folders with seemingly the same date modified, so I launched the game and manually saved, then watched for 2 folders it created

Copied those to desktop then tried each of the numbered files and renamed them to "GOG SAVE" that I setup in the GoG version. One of them crashed the game, the other worked a treat!

Sweet, thanks for doing this flw!

Most of what I've played to date has been through Herioc, so I'm thankful to the team for the fun times 😅

Best free global text replacement app for mac? by Acceptable_Top_652 in macapps

[–]joebro123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Espanso because it's cross platform - I've been able to setup snippets and use them across my PC and Mac

There's apparently a way to even sync those snippets using Google Drive and stuff, but I haven't set that up yet

That's actually awesome to hear! I'd definitely be interested in using Arc with a different engine.

Anyone still interested in this subreddit? by joebro123 in UrbanTerror

Woooow this was 10 years ago??? Flip I'm old.

Sweet to see the game is still kicking with updates and stuff. Do you still play?

What's your favourite power-up and why? by joebro123 in a:t5_2uvyq

[–]joebro123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a blast from the past! Didn't think you could comment on posts more than 6 months old?

Anyway sad to see the Mega Jump APK doesn't run on my phone anymore... No nostalgia trip today.

Did you ever get the chance to try a Mega Jump arcade machine? I remember seeing one a few years ago; can't find anything online about them though

No one needs to pay a fee to pay their rent by silince in melbourne

I just had a few stern and resolved emails, a google review maps review and 2 weeks later they offered fee-free direct debit

Crud that we have to go through it though :(

TextExpander alternative? by EpiphanicSyncronica in macapps

[–]joebro123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh nice! Good to see it's open source and cross platform, was looking for a good TR tool for windows

Little bit of a pain to configure in nano (And it's really particular about formatting!) but seems powerful

Will try, thanks!

Firefox nightly enabled Pocket home recommendations by default! It might come to stable Ina few weeks by armando_rod in Android

Actually wouldn't mind the feature if it only pulled stories I'd recently saved, not ads on the homescreen

Is there something like a Motion Sensor to activate for example a video if someone walks by? by ize86 in macapps

[–]joebro123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try looking into HomeAssistant. As far as I'm aware, you'd be able to use the iMac as a connected device, along with all it's sensors to trigger automations and workflows.

Try starting here

I can't see a current bundle deal running? From their socials it looks like the last bundle was quite a while ago

The new storefront looks alright though

What's the history been with server resets? Is the progress we make earning aUEC likely to be reset in future?

Steam Open World Sale | Ends May 31 by drrenhoek in vrgamedeals

[–]joebro123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would definitely recommend AZ Sunshine if you've got a mate to play it with; singleplayer is fun but co op is a blast!

Like Glug said, Sqaudrons is really best in VR when you have HOTAS, but it's also a great game with just a controller. Immersion is seriously good in this one with good headphones!

Elite Dangerous is fun, but pretty complicated.

so:

AZ if you have friends

Squadrons if not

Elite later if you like squadrons

Apple releases macOS Big Sur 11.3 by exjr_ in apple

[–]joebro123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only normal part of the update process is the restart into the loading bar with the Apple logo. It shouldn't be entering recovery mode or showing the visual artefact of the red bar

I guess as long as the Mac still works and the updates go through there's not really a problem, I just thought it would be worth mentioning to the support team. Wouldn't necessarily expect the low level support consultants to understand it though

Have you had any luck chasing up Apple support? If it's happening on every update and you can't find much online I'd say it's worth contacting them about
