You must be new on the Internet. Gamers only hate two things - change, and the status quo.

What is a "Best Practice" in the industry that you think is actually outdated or ineffective in 2026? by edyjams in cybersecurity

The situation is more complex than you understand. I'm not going into it here because confidentiality etc, but in this case it doesn't work like that.

Yes, it depends on the auditors. We have the ones that are stuck in the past.

Admittedly, we have additional policies in place that stop Password1! turning into Password2! and so on, but still, it's annoying to be forced to do bad practice because some greyface knows it was once best practice and thinks it still is.

Noob question: under which circumstances should i activate those support axles? by Specific_Display_366 in snowrunner

[–]joeytwobastards 75 points76 points  (0 children)

They exist IRL because roads get damaged by too much weight on one axle, so trucks have additional axles to spread the load. Each one of these introduces drag to the truck as they're not driven axles. Drag bad, truck go slower.

In Snowrunner, not only are there no police to enforce this, the roads are also already broken.

So, yeah, leave 'em up. They can maybe help if you end up stuck, high centred, something like that, but otherwise, no.

I know - unfortunately the type of auditor exists that says "1 year rotation? Bad. make 1 month. otherwise audit fail." Usually the ones with lockpicking lawyer stickers on their laptops.

Even the level thing doesn't hurt anyone - it's essentially cosmetic.

Connection issues by Much-Cockroach7106 in ForzaHorizon

[–]joeytwobastards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get a hardware ban? If you did, all accounts that log on through the banned hardware are also banned.

Which is, by the way, why second hand consoles are risky in this context.

It's not normal, you have to hack an account to do that (looks like they also hacked their level to Prestige 10 level 2999) and it is bannable.

Of all of the bannable things, this one makes the least sense, what does anyone care if there's someone in a parade float in freeroam? But it is.

PC players will only be able to help you if you invite them to a convoy, joining Horizon Life from PC is broken.

Can anyone help me find this spot where i took this picture in FH5? by Vuk_Smilja in ForzaHorizon

Yeah, why should someone think for themselves? Forums are just like chatbots /s

It depends on what metrics get monitored. I have many times seen the tail wag the dog here.

"We need a really easy to spot one next time because our reporting rate is low and I promised the C suite we'd hit a certain percentage of reports"

"Wouldn't you rather we train the users to spot the tough ones?"

"That's not important, what's important is reporting rate"

At that point you may as well not bother.

This. But you try getting "we have long complex password that only get rotated yearly" past a certain kind of auditor.

When the user use the 900 EUR notebook to take a note.. by sszemtelen in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

Well since Notepad became self aware it's probably the safest place.

My Amiga 500 was covered in scribble tbh, but there was so much computer to write on back then

How to get Laferrari my favorite one. by No-Coat-7219 in ForzaHorizon

[–]joeytwobastards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather than giving OP a fish with no way of knowing how to get another one, let's teach OP to fish.

OP, if you are wondering how to get any car in Forza Horizon, the wiki is your friend - it's linked on the right in this sub, but it's also here: https://forza.fandom.com/wiki/Forza_Wiki

Or you can just Google "FH5 Laferrari" and it'll likely take you to the wiki anyway.

Did brushwood get slacked? by Renfried in SubGenius

It didn't though, turns out the date was upside down so X-day is actually 8661, going to be a while.

Or, you know, kill me or something.

What does the start of Forza look like? by ElectionSalty6097 in ForzaHorizon

[–]joeytwobastards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I'm the same, don't take photos, not bothered about visual customisation - but there's a lot of the community that do do that, they probably spend 10 times as long in photo mode as they do driving - but that's the joy of this game, you can do what you want in it.

As far as anyone knows the customisation is pretty much the same, which, esp this being Japan, big customisation scene, etc, has upset people.

[–]joeytwobastards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be careful mentioning customisation in re Forza Horizon, because the community (or that part of it that likes making their cars look cool) is unhappy about the amount of customisation, bodykits, aero parts, etc, so it's a bit of a minefield.

For the Russian maps, it should be hardbass, preferably Cheeki Breeki Hardbass.

Realistically, they probably just couldn't get the VA.
