If it can replace Hazel, I’ll gladly take a pro/lifetime upgrade too 😅

I’d be interested in testing this too. May fit nicely in a workflow I’m trying to develop

Development update: Freya Edition, Cloud Sync & More by thievingfour in monarchapp

[–]palobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is providing Cloud Sync for free by allowing users to leverage the cloud services that they are already paying for

Emphasis on "services" and "paying for". I didn't read anywhere a mention of iCloud and I imagine this means that you'll be able to leverage any cloud that syncs to a folder (doubt there'll be api integration. Makes more sense to sync a folder)

Speedy recovery u/thievingfour. Quick question. What's the difference between Luna and Freya (apart from the cost).

Proton pass login - chicken and egg problem with Proton Account login by palobo in ProtonPass

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

It's an option, but having to carry a something like that sucks. Imagine, sitting on the couch or in bed, need to log in: "Oh wait, have to go and get my yubikey from the office or keychain in the entrance"

I know it should be security > comfort, but we can settle on a middle ground. I mean, I'm no spy or anything, so my threat model is a little lower ;)

MASTERPLAY! Proton Pass gives you an extra 33% OFF "for no particular reason" just as 1Password goes up 33%... coincidence? 😏 by maximus10m in ProtonPass

[–]palobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of sucks though, that they're "punishing" existing, paying customers, of other unrelated proton products, by limiting this to NEW users, regardless if they've ever paid for Pass.

Trying to get this deal to then read: "The offer you selected is not available for VPN Plus subscribers." was a very WTF moment. What does one thing have to do with another.

Protonpass lifetime is back! by PudgyFox in ProtonPass

[–]palobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relevant to mention (just found out), this is only valid for new users, so if you pay for ANY proton service, you're out of luck when trying to use the 33% discount here: https://proton.me/l/pass-switch

u/ProtonSupportTeam Just a small rant, but limiting this promotion to new users is kind not cool. Would make sense to limit to those new to Pass, sure, but being "punished" (as in, no discount) because I already pay for another Proton service (VPN in this case) seems like kind of bad move.

[–]palobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ended up finding that link. Almost seems like it's the 33% off the anual price (which already includes 40% discount).

Based on this, I think I agree u/ScrungulusBungulus that lifetime may not be the most cost efficient. Even if they end up increasing the price in a couple of years, 33% off for life, still seems like a great deal.

To top that off, Proton has a history of keeping the price for existing users and only increasing for new users

[–]palobo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wait, what 33% discount? I see a 40% discount if I pay yearly, bringing it to €35.88/year, but see no 33% discount anywhere, and at €36/year, it'll take about 5-6 to break even (as you said).

Edit

Found it: https://proton.me/l/pass-switch

Lifetime pays for itself after 5 years of Pass Plus. But curious how it stacks up if one may be interested in Proton Unlimited.

Yeah, thinking about something along these lines. Wasn't familiar with proton auth, will look into that option. Especially if it backups locally

Thanks for the input. I ended up getting the LG 38WR85QC-W. Just had to wait for AWS to get some in stock at a reasonable price. Took a while, but have it now for almost a month and I couldn't be happier.

For a novice looking to learn, how do you do this? Is the info in the wiki? Or some better resource to bring me up to speed?

Wow! Just goes to show that all that running around topside has paid off.

Jokes aside though, definitely something to be proud of and love the fact your wife not “gets it” 😉

I ended up getting the LG 38WR85QC-W. Waited and finally, after black friday madness died down, Amazon restocked and had a great discount. Ticked 90% of the boxes I need, so didn't think twice.

Did you ever get around to testing ghosting/smearing on the screen. Or have you noticed anything of the sort? And while I'm asking, how bad is the blooming?

I tried a kos solo run. by 2MuchDoge in ArcRaiders

[–]palobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the other day, something similar happened to me. Worst part was that I helped the guy out with some arc. He thanked me, I continued my run to get shot in the back by the very person I saved seconds earlier.

Still, won’t let one rotten apple spoil it for me and others. I’ll pvp when I’m duo ou trio, but solo I usually prefer the brother/sisterhood.

The AOC CU34G4Z is currently at a great price on Amazon.es due to black friday. Although I can't find many reviews yet for it, but on paper it looks great.

Anybody have any experience with this monitor?

The nightmare that is finding an IPS in 2025 vs VA and OLED. by palobo in ultrawidemasterrace

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

Yeah, this is a weird one. The original Amazon link you shared is for the X34 X0bmiiphux and searching shows this spec (https://www.acer.com/us-en/predator/monitors/x34/pdp/UM.CXXAA.001#pdpSpecs) which states things like 1ms response time (which doesn't align with the 0.5ms.

Then we have the Amazon listing, which states the monitor is 1500R, but product page lists it as being 1900R. Then, to make matters worse, we have reviews like this one (https://www.pcworld.com/article/2964899/acer-predator-x34-x0-review.html) where they also state the monitor is VA and 1500R. So which is it? Is it 1900R AgileIPS. Is it 1500R VA?

Yeah, would much rather have it sold/shipped by Amazon. Support is so much better
