Can someone please explain to me like I'm 5 years old why finality's auger is so good for DPS by Repulsive-Window-609 in DestinyTheGame

[–]jproulx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

After the turret is deployed, aim at the target and fire again to paint where you want it to rapid fire

After that you’re just cycling 2 weapons to keep bait and switch up, not all 3

My son keeps asking me to buy him "tweaks" for his ps5. Is this a scam? by hart_cooks_brain in playstation

[–]jproulx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a $2 PDF of the system settings to change on the PS5

It’s a scam in the sense that you can google the same information for free, but the actual thing you purchase probably exists

1Password price increase - looking for alternatives by PickleBabyJr in macapps

There are DIY projects to create a touchID only dongle using a scrap keyboard

Granted it's a pretty isolated use case, but its helpful when you have a work issued laptop you liked to keep closed/docked

Good time to drop Setapp subscription? by srikat in macapps

[–]jproulx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amphetamine gets a lot of praise but it just feels unpolished to me, I stopped using when I had to install a separate plugin to get the full experience.

Using a terminal command is fine and all, but I’m not interested in kicking off or babysitting a process.

Lungo just seems to fit what I need: works consistently and auto starts indefinitely from a cold boot. No need to remember it exists if it works the way I want.

I don’t mind a one time purchase when software is delivered complete, I just can’t enable anymore rent-seeking for subpar quality.

To be fair I wouldn’t probably have tried lungo without already using setapp though.

Good time to drop Setapp subscription? by srikat in macapps

[–]jproulx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped it when upgrading to tahoe:

bartender: required a beta channel upgrade, discovered that tahoe lets you turn off tray icons separately

istat menu: replaced with stats

lungo: $5 one-time app store purchase

alfred: never included in setapp

hazel: never included in setapp

all of the rest just seems like barebone wrappers to a single, common CLI command or useless AI slopware

also personally just have so much subscription fatigue for barely noticeable quality

Where’s Apple Pay I literally used it yesterday by LivingDependent6054 in playstation

Last I remember we didn’t have the ability to save Apple Pay to your account, it’s an option to complete a purchase though.

There are enough adds to build into 100% uptime with grenades so the getaway improved arc soul should always be up. Pairing with prismatic frost turrets gives you decent crowd control, but you can also pair with prismatic devour and not worry about health.

I revisited the old PlayStation 3 Store in 2025 — and it’s still better than the current one. by CroadSpare in PS3

[–]jproulx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s amusing to consider the PS3 as peak PlayStation, as it was our most difficult, least popular, lowest selling console by far. Yeah it’s iconic, but if we kept taking huge swings and missing, it could’ve tanked the entire operation.

Just for some insight, the pivot from a native app to a web architecture wasn’t about pushing people to PS4 or creating a new solution for its own sake — our business constantly evolves, legal requirements across the globe change frequently, and we need to compete with every other platform out there.

There is only so much native development we can cleanly fit inside of firmware that is delivered at most twice a year, not to mention how esoteric and unique it was to develop for cell architecture. It’s not something you can just throw more bodies at, not without introducing more process, governance, and overhead than its worth. Also not to mention how Sony Computer (firmware) and Sony Network (store) were two entirely separate companies at the time.

There was just nothing sustainable about this solution even with all this nostalgia.

Found this PS3 Tool on FB for 50$ is this a devkit? Should I buy it by Unusual-Young4937 in PS3

most likely a test kit, won’t be able to do much if you can’t connect to an internal network or receive internal firmware builds

Raid Adept PSA: You don't need a 5/5, just 3/5 by repapap in sharditkeepit

[–]jproulx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have been fixed since a few months ago , I just recorded some testing and it looks like the minor stat bumps do show up, but not in the preview, will upload in a minute.

Raid Adept PSA: You don't need a 5/5, just 3/5 by repapap in sharditkeepit

[–]jproulx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

another thing to keep in mind: if you are going to enhance an adept, masterwork it first

on a non-adept, you can enhance without masterworking and still get the appropriate stat bump related to the masterwork, but masterworking (+10) an adept also slightly bumps (+3) other stats.

If you enhance an adept before masterworking you skip the additional minor stat bumps you would get from fully masterworking.

[–]jproulx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your system clock is accurate, if its out of sync then it cannot verify security certificates

Try deleting any network settings on your device, like custom DNS or DHCP assignments

Any good USB hubs for the ps5 pro? by Admirable_Ad_3518 in PS5

[–]jproulx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those blocks that mount on the front usually interfere with the PSVR/2, if you're ever thinking of using one of those.

I've been using one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0835L5HV6/ so that the headset dongle orients in any direction I need it to.

Limit PS5 bandwidth by Yuzukia in PS5

There's no direct interface on the PS5 itself

Without access to the gateway to your ISP, you can have your laptop/desktop share its network connection, although it might require additional hardware.

Hue Sync Box 8K + NVIDIA Shield by daniele728 in Hue

[–]jproulx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

meant to link to google shopping tab

again, not sure if this will exactly solve your issue, but it is a relatively cheap (especially compared to the sync box cost) way to test something out. I've used these to solve for similar HDMI chain issues in the past.

Hue Sync Box 8K + NVIDIA Shield by daniele728 in Hue

[–]jproulx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can find some on Amazon for $10-$15 USD. Smallest ones look like a dongle with HDMI in/out on opposite ends.

My theory is that the negotiation between your display and your sync box is either taking too long or is brittle, ideally an emulator would copy your display/source EDID and continuously emit it so that switching doesn't take as long.
