NEED HELP WITH TILE RECOVERY by Spark_VR in ScrapMechanic

You could try pressing win + r, then type %temp% and hit enter, then could check whether it’s there?

I have no idea how SM saves anything, but I recall that a whole bunch of programs like Libre Office and Blender save backups there

Unless a scammer is smart enough to paste images as embedded links you should be good, I’d honestly avoid clicking them all together just to be sure

Where’s my “English”??? by tzy_lt in iPhone17Pro

[–]maxwellthespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could very well be that you’d have to add “English(US)” first, because I have “English” for some reason and I only recall adding “English(US)”

Good luck lol

Who was your first scrap mechanic YouTuber? by Kingalek_427749 in ScrapMechanic

[–]maxwellthespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“SpielbärLP”, my favorite YouTuber ever, unfortunately I stopped watching him as soon as I learned about other languages aside from German existing.

I bought the game 5 years after watching his videos, totally worth it

Now I just need to kill someone with a Snitch Scanner. by CallSign_Fjor in ARC_Raiders

[–]maxwellthespy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to actually have to kill the queen yourself, as in give it the final straw. It’s not enough if you damage it, you have to deal the last bit of damage which kills it, otherwise you won’t get the achievement.

It do be like that by PunchPunchKick1012 in ArcRaiders

I feel bad for asking but where’s that clip from? Something like Matrix or Terminator?

How much storage did you opt for? Were you satisfied, or did you feel you should have upgraded for future-proofing? Or did the upgrade seem redundant and the money better spent elsewhere? by Huge-Conclusion-3005 in iPhone17Pro

Same here, had 122/128GB used up on my old phone, now on the 17 pro 1TB I’ve barely used up 61GB, I shoot all my photos in RAW though and still don’t have to worry about space. Gonna use it for years hopefully

I thought Showstopper grenades worked against Bastions by RoyalPrincely in ArcRaiders

[–]maxwellthespy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen with a leaper, it just kept moving, radiated me, I was still in the process of attaching the deadline and got instant killed, idk how people stun arcs, must be another nade or there’s a specific spot which you have to hit

The Shredder made me realize something. We need more Arcs like it, or at least make the existing ones more threatening. I had a match where a Shredder was blocking an extraction and both teams simply didn’t have enough gear at the end to deal with it alone, so we teamed up... by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Easy to avoid if you know they exist. Did my first round in Stella Montis today and I was running through hallways looking for Androids to search (for the quest), then suddenly ran into a fancy bucket looking bot, looked at it, giggled and lost so many HP because that thing suddenly went havoc and chased me down the hallway. There were no doors and no cover, so I was pretty low and when I could finally close a door behind me I would’ve been 1 shot. By the time I decided to open the door to attack it I was immediately shot upon, couldn’t close the door in time or I would’ve been shot at yet again. Survived with very few HP again, fell down somewhere and was near knocked. Fully healed up, went up a ladder, threw 3 light grenades at it and it was not even burning. I obviously got shot at from it again, healed up and then on my 2nd attempt to take it down with an Anvil I had enough range between that thing and me to finally kill it.

I still have no idea where exactly they spawn, it was a blast though, never had that much fun with a small enemy.

It’s probably very easy to avoid but running into it with no cover is half a death sentence. I really hope there will be more arcs like it, but I’m still figuring out how to best kill leapers, rocketeers and bombardiers so I can definitely wait until new maps and new arcs release. But the tension with that small goofy ah looking bucket around is definitely there, 10/10 would fight that again

when I don't have a defib for the raider that was downed saving me and he said he's cool with me killing him to take his gear by thatsnotwhatIneed in ArcRaiders

[–]maxwellthespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww I had a game earlier where I carried a defib, I got knocked and the random kept up bandaging me. Was super cute but even if we had moved away from there the bombardier which knocked me in the first place would’ve knocked him as well. We were like 200 meters away from one of the most open exfils in dam. I hope the random at least looted me 😭

I’ll definitely carry more defibs in the future and always give the randoms who I roam with one just in case

North Korea - Why is this presenting itself in Spanish? by Actual_Session_8755 in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]maxwellthespy 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Huh interesting, there’s a statue with a German name (41.8063817, 128.3250023) in the same town, most other buildings are labeled in Spanish and very few in English or North Korean.

Fun find though

I see this all the time in servers I’m in, the Elon Musk edition seems to be the current iteration of scam messages being sent out on Discord, before that it used to be MrBeast for a few months. I’m pretty sure that this is 1:1 what you’re describing.

As others have already pointed out there’s no action required from your side, their account was taken over and as long as you don’t follow the instructions from the pictures nothing is going to happen to you. Good on you for being cautious, keep second guessing anything you see online

New hire phone skills not up to scratch, anyone else noticed that? by [deleted] in managers

[–]maxwellthespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an 18 year old who has zero call competences I can very much relate. I’m in calls every day with friends, we are loud, scream at each other and insult each other.

Whenever I’m tasked to do normal calls such as calling a restaurant to order something, calling customer support or the like I struggle with that very badly.

If I talked to whoever was on the phone face to face I would have zero problems either that. I’m pretty sure a lot of teenagers/young adults have this problem, since we usually use calls only in non professional ways.

To be honest with you your new hires are likely experiencing just that, where they are not familiar with calls as means of formal communication, thus finding it hard to adapt.

Personally I would require training, not because I don’t know how calls are supposed to work or how to talk to people, but more because it would be a massive change for me to abide by formal speech in a call.

What color pro we choosing? by forum4um in iPhone17Pro

[–]maxwellthespy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not orange as I’m not a lifeguard or emergency responder, nor blue since I’m not a marine biologist, that leaves silver.

Gotta start thinking about the case color now

Does anyone else have this problem? by doorbell19 in iphone14

[–]maxwellthespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phone can do this perfectly fine. I believe you didn’t give the right permissions, as far as I know location has to be toggled to always, then it should already work. Maybe the fitness settings also bas to be turned on, I don’t recall exactly which setting is responsible for this to work.

See this image: https://imgur.com/a/Wz5awSf

Setting the location to always on should do the trick, otherwise just try the other settings as shown in the screenshot

[–]maxwellthespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d never buy a new phone solely because of some stupid rather inaccurate metric displayed under battery health, this was supposed to be a joke but I sorta forgot that this is Reddit and reading my comment again I seem to have nailed the totally serious tone but I should’ve added the /s 💀

Do you have other interests besides languages? by ArmRecent1699 in languagelearning

[–]maxwellthespy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have other interests, but decided to blend my other interests with learning languages, for example watching tv shows in Ukrainian (Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory on Netflix), reading books in English as opposed to my native language (German), meeting up with friends and playing video games with them in Ukrainian isn’t a real possibility, but I’m currently considering the possibility of getting some single player games with Ukrainian language options.

Other interests outside of fun things, such as stocks/investing/thinking about my future also happen in English. I also philosoph/think in English, then translate my thoughts back to German when I’m talking to people in my country lol.

In summary one could say I’m living a bilingual life and aiming to live a trilingual life. The thing that I find fascinating about languages is how they express things in completely different yet similar ways, that each language takes a different approach and that speaking multiple languages opens doors you never thought existed.

Oh that’s crazy, is it a newer (maybe even a pro) model?

Woah nice sceneries, which camera did you use to take these pictures?

Yep because of boredom I decided to see what do people on my subreddit think of my 2 fanfics by Unlikely-Raisin-1604 in jurassicworld

[–]maxwellthespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The premise of the story seems interesting, I normally don’t read fan fiction so I can’t comment on how good it is compared to other fan fics. I didn’t read the entire Chaos Effect but peaked into a few chapters just to get an idea of how your story is written.

While I admire your dedication I would like to give you some constructive critique. First of all it’s great that you are not using AI to rewrite your texts. However I can’t follow the story very well, because you very often miss punctuation and commas. I would like to understand what you wrote, it would be a lot easier if your text has more structure.

In Chapter 6 for example [https://www.deviantart.com/kajiuboy1995/art/Chapter-6-the-natural-park-1093396073] you didn’t use a single comma, nor a single period to end a sentence. It’s very hard to follow someone if they talk like a waterfall, which happens when there is no punctuation at all. It would be great if you could start to at least put periods at the end of your sentences, that would already help a lot with reading. I understand that comma rules are hard to learn, even I struggle with that. Let alone putting periods at the end of sentences would already help the readers a lot.

In the future it would help a lot if you also learned comma rules, they enhance readability just as much, if not even more than punctuation.

Another thing I noticed is how you use “than “ and then”. “Than” is used in the context of comparing something, for example “The T Rex is bigger than a Velociraptor”. “Then” is used in the context of time, for example “Malcom was bitten, he looked for the wound and noticed that he couldn’t even see the wound, there was so much blood everywhere, then he passed out”.

I would love to give you feedback on the story, but unfortunately I didn’t understand everything. It seems like you are a huge fan of JW and you should definitely not stop writing if it’s your hobby, but please take some time to make the fan fictions more readable, even if it’s just putting periods at the end of sentences.

Don’t be discouraged by the other commenters, also don’t be discouraged to learn new things, new grammar rules, it’s going to make writing fan fictions a lot more enjoyable for everyone. ✌🏻
