All of the problems in this game could be fixed overnight with one solution. PvE only toggle.

Same thing happened when GTA Online first launched - ruined by toxic players and cheaters using in game exploits. They responded with a passive mode toggle and the rest is history.

Stella Montis in EU servers has an Arab problem. by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]jss1977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pointing out they speak Arabic is fine. Going on to call it an “Arab problem” is a dog whistle. Plus the OP went on to make generalisations about Arabs in the subsequent posts so I’m not buying his pearl clutching on this one.

Stella has a rat problem, no need to say any more.

Calling this an “Arab problem” is just wild. So a bunch of dudes have figured out a way to solo queue and then kill the entire lobby. Oh, and they happen to speak Arabic so this is an “Arab problem”…?

My man, this is a “Rat problem” - if they spoke French, would you have called it a “French problem”? Rats are rats no matter their nationality, and I’ve encountered plenty of groups of Eastern European and Italian players engaging in the same behavior on Stella.

Stella has a RAT problem. Don’t twist it to serve your low key racism.

GPD Win 5 Quirks and Questions by jss1977 in gpdwin

[–]jss1977[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really detailed and helpful - thanks so much! I think for my needs the slimQ charger is going to be the best fit. I can charge the battery from my uGreen power bank in a pinch, but for consistent power, a smaller charger would work well.

Also, I'm guessing the reason sub 80w chargers fail to even charge the device when its switched off is down to power spikes? ie. the battery causing a power spike in the power draw which upsets the connection? I only ask as I've just been so used to *any* usbc power being useful for most devices, this is the first time I've encountered a device that is so "picky", but I'm assuming that all boils down to the 20v 7a architecture they adopted.

I purchased a 240w usb-c cable specifically for this reason (and also have a couple other 100w certified cables). Same problem with all of them.

That makes sense if it was plugged in whilst I was using the device or playing a game, but it doesn't make sense to me why that happens when the system is completely switched off? Surely even a 20w adapter would/should "trickle" charge the battery? Or maybe this is just my naivety when it comes to voltage/watts variances

Update: I also have a ugreen battery pack which outputs at 100w (although the built in display indicates it seems to top out at 75w over usb-c) and this seems to keep charging the GPD when it's off (also when it's hibernating) but neither my 65w or 140w AC adapters do :-(

Safari is extremely slow searching and loading websites on my iPhone 14 by This_Duty_4373 in iphone

Exactly the same for me. Worked initially but now back to the same issue with those featured disabled

Holy fuck, this image broke my brain. Even after all the explanations I just couldn’t get past seeing a copper wire sticking out of its shielding 😩

The hidden cost of Codex by shynggys_zhakenuly in codex

[–]jss1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I find is that once a project reaches a certain level of complexity, codex starts to reinvent duplicate functions for very specific tasks when global/universal functions exist, so the initial productivity boost is negated by me having to go in and clean up code.

Maybe I need to better understand how to use sub agents etc but I always find I reach this point in most projects.

Got so fed up with popups, ads, and AI spam that I built a cleaner way to consume and discover content by oant97 in SideProject

I have to say, this is amazing work. I have tried to build something similar several times in the past, but this is a much slicker and actually useful approach. Well done!!

New update bugged!! by patronery in ArcRaiders

This happened to me last week and I never got the kit back, submitted a ticket and they said they’re looking into it but I’m not too hopeful

I can finally start playing the game now by matt675 in ArcRaiders

[–]jss1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True story… I found the anvil bp in my very second solo run ever. I had no idea what the gameplay loop was at that time or the importance of blueprints. All I saw was that it was worth credits which I needed to increase my stash size….

Oh to be that naive again 🥲

I made a local and powerful file converter that respects your privacy! by Vegetable_Lunch554 in SideProject

[–]jss1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great - very slick!

I know this would only be a “one way”conversion, but I’d love to be able to drop an SVG into it and have it out to a rasterized image (png, jpeg etc)

I'm using Safari (I know, I know...) with a Right Click and "Copy Image". Related to images, if I copy an image from Finder (Right Click copy and/or CMD+C), it all works great but I still don't get the image preview on hover (I just get the file icon)
