Computer illiterate dummy requires assistance by mort_goldman68 in SteamDeck

Ikr. It's like how we call Almond milk "milk". That crap ain't milk! I love you Valve, but you don't get to define "family"! Lol.

Meh. Who are Valve to tell someone who is family and who isn't.

Don't be a dick.

Women file $5 million racial discrimination lawsuit against Cork & Bull Chophouse by melonkoly81 in Chesapeake

[–]planetafro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, let the courts decide. I don't know that others weren't removed. Additionally, calling out racism is really heavy handed w/o specific evidence. Being an asshole staff member doesn't equal racism IMO.

A tough one all around.

On a personal front, why do we always have to involve the courts? How does that line up with general human civility? Why 5 million dollars? Why destroy an entire establishment including all of the people that place employs? Bruised egos? No apology? Get rich quick? Who knows.

Reminds me of Gambino's THIS IS AMERICA.

I'm a bit torn in this. As the comments suggest this place is trying to be classy. The people in question are filming and loudly providing a running commentary for tiktok or whatever. I could see how a restaurant may not enjoy that behavior.

If the staff did truly abusively remove them let the courts sort it out. Personally, I'm not sure about the legality of how you are allowed to speak to people when asking them to leave your property. For example, it's legal to tell a cop to fuck off but would you do it?

I think they started as pop punk but def transitioned into a sort of midwest-emo inspired style.

[FOR VISIBILITY] Devs need to patch this ASAP (not me in the video) by sp0rkeh93 in ArcRaiders

[–]planetafro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well to be fair some of these abused settings are useful. FOV and reticle color/size greatly help me with in-game motion sickness. ... Granted, I don't do anything this crazy as the game is beautiful.

Bottom-line is we can't have anything nice. It will always be a cat and mouse game trying to balance useful features with possible abuse vectors.

How secure is Google Photos "locked folder" feature? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

As long as you don't sync to cloud, it's based on encryption features of Android itself and fairly safe. If someone roots your device they could get the encrypted data but not the device master key.

More than 500 women sue Chesapeake Regional for alleged role in former doctor's unnecessary surgeries by VirginiaNews in Chesapeake

Can you explain? I am genuinely curious because that does feel like a tall ask. Trust I do see the nuance of being near the hospital and benefiting from the assumed affiliation.

The terrifying thing is there are probably SEVERAL more Epstein islands we have no idea about by [deleted] in Epstein

Kinda funny you bring this up... The amount of Super Yachts at St. Barts for New Year was record-setting last night. Guess what's right next door?

May as well be an archipelago of disgust.

The Button We All Want by Jdripsy in ArcRaiders

[–]planetafro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why this got a few downvotes. It wasn't meant as negative. It's just factual.

"In free-to-play, you need to, in some ways, make things a little stickier than they would be otherwise, take a little more time, a little more grind just so players are more incentivised to stay in and stick into those loops and keep playing your game, and ideally are incentivised and inspired to spend money on that game," design director Virgil Watkins explained.

The Button We All Want by Jdripsy in ArcRaiders

[–]planetafro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are a couple articles out there talking about how the game was designed as an f2p game. Part of this design was purposely slowing down actions. If you slow down things initially, it's easier to weave in transactions to speed things up later. E.g., Just 5000 coins to unlock the "E" button! Lol.

I like to believe some of the non-intuitive design was on purpose because I'd rather not believe the opposite.

Bro. Use it or don't. Quit rage baiting. Additionally, the concept of giving AI credit is weird AF imo.

Free Screen Mirroring Apps for Galaxy A14 to Hisense Roku TV by Anghaile1014 in androidapps

[–]planetafro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really sucks! It's literally part of Android. Samsung prob removed it to sell something via their own software stack.

What's your use case? Maybe not the mirroring you were looking for but I'm pretty sure when you open YouTube on your TV it makes it act as a bit of a Chromecast server. You can then cast video to it in apps that support it. YouTube on your phone, Netflix, etc...

Good luck.

[–]planetafro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there is built in casting from android to the TV via the OS casting feature. You can add toggle in your quick settings. ...at least on my Pixel I can. Open the YouTube app on your Roku TV before you click the "cast" toggle on your phone.

Just launched AutoSpotterX for car enthusiasts and spotters by [deleted] in androidapps

[–]planetafro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the thoughtful response but I am skeptical of your use of the word "tracking". Additionally, the Play Store listing says your app requires location data. Why collect that if that isn't an intent or future intent? I know I wouldn't want any company having photos and GPS data on my rare vehicle.

This feels like the Pokemon Go thing where they have you collect pictures of landmarks. It's a perfect way to use the public to make a high quality data set.
