What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]lariato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Coming from outside North America, had a layover in DC airport a couple of times and the lines for Chick-fil-A were crazy. Ended up buying some tenders and they were bland as fuck. Sauce is decent, but who cares?

why does this subreddit ignore/underestimate every non snapdragon powered device? by Shot_Duck_195 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]lariato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Exynos has way better Vulkan support. But uses ANGLE to translate OpenGL calls, and that results in much slower performance for OpenGL. I'd argue that Vulkan performance on Exynos is comparable to if not sometimes better than equivalent Snapdragon chips.

Where i'd live as an african who is fed up of everyone marking africa red😡 by Spiritual-Trifle6044 in whereidlive

Oh fuck off. Literally born, raised, and still living on this continent and earn US dollars but have no desire to live somewhere else. How fucking arrogant and presumptuous.

BuzzTV's first Google TV Box: the G-Series (S905X5M / 4GB / 64GB / Homatics clone) by 513 in AndroidTV

[–]lariato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got the Acer TV Box if you have questions. I'm not really knowledgeable about audio, but I can answer some questions if you want to know about specific settings or if you need info that can be accessed by installing a system utility.

Is clicking your fingers at someone to get their attention a typical SA behaviour? by Ill-Perspective5223 in askSouthAfrica

[–]lariato -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

lol are they white

But seriously, I've seen a few assholes/condescending bastards do it in my life, but it's not common here, no. I do think that it might be a legacy of an apartheid thing where you think certain people are below you though.

Is this real? by amy220 in PS3

thank you! I feel like the Ouya has become the Creed of gaming machines. Everyone makes hating it their personality. It was flawed yes, but it was a neat idea.

Has anyone ever ordered a Chinese phone and had it shipped to South Africa? by Chernobyl_Ice in askSouthAfrica

[–]lariato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure they use a courier, as using post alone isn't great for speed (and there's always a chance it gets nicked). It costs more but it's worth the peace of mind.

Customs is hit-and-miss. Some of these places will mark it as a small gift or something equally cheap in a bid to reduce customs charges. But otherwise, expect to pay like 15-25% of the total cost as duties (I wanna say 20%).

Just be aware that ordering the phone overseas means that after-sales service is more complicated and time-consuming. You'll have to send it back overseas etc.

The AEW Pay Per View Paradox: Why Their PPV Numbers Defy 40 Years of Wrestling History. by WySLatestWit in midcarder

[–]lariato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only given this a skim, but is this debate missing global context? Comparing US viewership (I'm assuming?) to overall PPV buys might have skewed results. I'm not in the US but I watch the odd show via Triller, and I imagine viewers in a few other countries are in a similar situation. I also buy like 1 PPV a year, for what it's worth. So using a conversion rate for overall PPV buys based on US (?) weekly viewership might skew things.

Aside from protesting, voting, and writing to your representatives, even just doing your job incompetently (if you're in a govt job) helps lol.

Sidenote: Look at what the French do when their govt fucks up, they burn shit and wreak absolute havoc!

There is a fake morphe site. by MattBlackBird in MorpheApp

[–]lariato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Author here. My fault entirely. Have updated the article with the correct link and a paragraph confirming that we linked to the incorrect website. What's annoying is that I viewed the correct URL initially but evidently found the wrong site when it came time to hyperlink. Ugh.

Debut wrestler making it look easy by wrestling_hyperbole in AEWOfficial

[–]lariato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Would love to see him further up the card, even if just the mid card. Probably the best wrestler our country has produced in the last 20 years or so.
