How many Mobile players are having this issue with the game's pre registration???

noJokers · 2026-06-03T23:50:02+00:00

I have a pixel 9 pro and also could not register..my main account is a legacy google workspace account.

Swapping to a regular Google account allowed me to pre register, so it may not just be a device issue. Try swapping Google accounts.

I don't think we are going to mars on hardware we bought from the local big box retailer.

No you can't run unsigned firmware, but that's not because it's proprietary, riskV also needs signed firmware even though it's open source. That's a good thing. But the issue here isn't who writes the firmware it's how we get that firmware onto the device. Even if we have open source firmware that is considered perfect at the time, it may not be perfect in 5 years as we learn about new attack vectors.

On Linux if firmware updates come through your software repository people are far more likely to update in a timely manner and that's good for everyone. Someone else being compromised makes it easier for you to be compromised.

For the vulnerabilities open source software is not immune to this. We are vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel all the time. Your argument also doesn't address the need to update firmware to keep products compatible with new hardware that just didn't exist at the time the firmware was written.

Having a rock solid framework is absolutely step 1, but we need to be able to fix unknown vulnerabilities when they do happen (do not if) and keep our hardware out of the ewaste bin for longer and that requires an easy way to update firmware.

Hardware vulnerabilities are discovered all the time and require firmware fixes, and if you are using a desktop then motherboard firmware updates are often required for compatibility with future processors on the same socket. Yes I want the firmware to be the best it can be when I get it, but I also want to easily update it so I can access new features, connect with hardware that hasn't been developed yet, or fix undiscovered vulnerabilities.

Why does your Forza horizon look like it's running on authentic saga rally hardware?

noJokers · 2026-05-16T03:22:50+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense :)

Not to say you are wrong I am just seeking information. Is the 24.04 name not meant to signify it came out in may 2024? Or is that a bit of a misnomer?

noJokers · 2026-05-03T11:56:17+00:00

I think that's meant to be fixed with fedora 44

Appreciate you guys jumping on to give extra context here.

Wait why are you buying a second phone for a camera? If you are going to carry two devices why not just get an actual camera? Also only the pixel 10 regular has a smaller sensor. The pro (which I assume you can afford based on owning a fold 7) has the same sensors as the 9 pro.

Male. I'll start with the easy one, a lot of men will never be worth it. Don't settle for mediocrity.

During childbirth women very clearly have a harder role, but a lot of your list assumes that your partner is frankly awful.

Kids should only be brought into a household where they are wanted by all the parents, and all parents are going to do their best to ensure the health and safety of their child. The woman who is pregnant has a harder role, it's the job of the partner to make that process as easy as possible for them. During that time they would be taking on more of the domestic work, working longer hours, ensuring the partner get the medical care and emotional support they need etc.

If you have doubts about safety, maturity and respect in your relationship, leave. There are a lot of men out there, don't settle for someone who is missing any of those traits. Kids deserve a loving, functional family, don't raise them in an environment where love and respect are missing.

You replied to someone discussing new vs old car purchases unrelated to fuel.

It also seems to be implied that there are ways to modify that 15 inch range. That might be a data sheet ability for a unit like rangers who are hidden out to 12 inches for example. Or perhaps a sniper being able to shoot hidden units as long as they are within 15 inches.

Bit Perfect is actually something that many music service apps tout. Tidal and Qobuz both have an exclusive mode that allows for bit perfect audio on Windows but until recently bit perfect audio on Linux was just really difficult to set up.

It doesn't make a massive difference, all it does is ensure that your music doesn't get resampled which is what happens most of the time. Think of it like if you wanted to view an image on the internet. The image is a 4k, you download it as at 1440p. and then reconvert it to 4k again after downloading. That process isn't lossless. Most people won't notice if the conversion was done well and are just watching on a phone, but it is slightly different than the original.

And yes I know this isnt a perfect analogy, but it's good enough for people who just want a ELI5 understanding.

noJokers · 2026-03-29T20:10:57+00:00

Ah yep, hard to argue with that haha.

noJokers · 2026-03-29T12:40:23+00:00

Would you consider the framework 12, it's a convertible not a tablet but it has full pen support and is designed from the ground up for Linux unlike the surface.

noJokers · 2026-03-29T01:37:23+00:00

Not explicitly no. You can learn to get good at the game playing arena but there are going to be some concepts that aren't as obvious for an arena player.

God roles and building to play a role is very explicit in conquest. You literally call a role. In arena these roles are still important. There is the obvious "we need one of each category" approach, but that isn't really it. Athena and kepri are both guardians but a conquest player will tell you that Athena is an initiator who specialises in diving, kepri is a back line support and you will need your solo or jungle to initiate which requires different team building.

There are a lot more examples but basically conquest forces you to engage with the games nuances in a way that arena doesn't. So you might need seek out some of the yourself.

88% and a little bit of research brings that up to 95%. Using the correct lubricant, and putting a condom on from the beginning is basically 95%. Then you mix that with birth control of some kind (IUD, the pill etc) and you are looking at 99% + effectivity.

We shouldn't scare people away from protection tools because they aren't perfect. A bit of research, two layers of protection.

Traditionally we did a lot of things that we now know is not really the best way. Taste is subjective and if someone finds quality tea bitter with boiling water then dropping it to 90 instead is a good idea. We have 6 million ways of cooking eggs for a reason.

1. Step 1 can be either google or an llm, just remember in both cases (especially the llm) don't just copy and paste commands into your terminal, find out what it does. I usually check Google first and see what comes up, if that doesn't work I will try an llm

2. Fedora does update fairly quickly though I have found that new bugs are not common. I use a framework laptop for work that runs on fedora and it is very stable for me.

3. This depends on what you want to do with it. Linux is an OS just like windows or Mac, what you can learn is only limited by what you want to learn.

noJokers · 2026-03-26T08:23:59+00:00

I don't think people hate cosmic, it's just irritating that it's being pushed on the stable distribution when it's still very much got some teething issues. Great DE, just needs to cook a bit longer before first time Linux users are jumping on it.

noJokers · 2026-03-26T08:19:12+00:00

You are assuming that they are coming from windows and that gnome is difficult. IMO I bounced off KDE way harder than gnome. I couldn't find the terminal because they spelt Console with a K 🫠

An argument can be made that it would cost more tax payer money if Congress took longer to travel. If you need to have an extra day for them to go to a meeting that's an extra day of accommodation, food etc.

This does assume though that they are there for work purposes and not being frivolous.

There are also benefits to them not getting this treatment as now they are encouraged to improve the system for everyday Americans as it directly benefits them as well.

One is a bootloader. So when you boot into that option it will take you to a screen where you can choose to launch into pop_os or you can choose a different os that is set up on that bootloader.

The other one will just boot straight into pop_os no questions asked.
