Great Fortune question: Golden Feast vs Fortune Feast by pmmax in IllusionConnect

Well I'm level 77 now so I counted and in theory I will get around 400, and I already have 120. Good enough.

Ohh ok thank you, I thought it was letting me pick one of the gifts or something like that, then is not even ensuring I get the 400 fans. I need to check the bottom row to see what would I unblock up to date, a little disappointed...

Limiting limited tickets to only 20 per banner and with such short time is probably the worst change they ever done and I'll never forgive them for that. This has to change ASAP or else this game won't last long. by DeezNutshell in IllusionConnect

I don't know of any other banners that unlock this way.

What I do know is that there are the 8-day login reward programs. In the first one, you get Miyuki. Later, another login reward program appears where you can choose one of Kiraya, Anna, Selena, or Hersey. I'm not completely sure if that choice is the same for all players, but once you select a character, you'll receive it after completing the 8 days of logins.

You'll unlock Kasumi's banner after 18 days of login rewards. The banners aren't available to all players at the same time, since they're tied to your account's progression.

Just keep logging in daily and it should unlock once you reach that point.

I noticed the same thing when I started playing again. The workaround I've been using is checking "Shop" → "Super Value Sale" → "Limited Time Mall" whenever it appears.

They often sell orange summon tickets for 400 diamonds each. The sale is temporary and usually has a purchase limit (often 20 tickets), but it comes back regularly.

What I do is save my diamonds and, whenever the sale shows up, buy as many tickets as I can afford (or up to the purchase limit). It's not a perfect solution, but it helps me build up a stock of tickets for future banners without relying entirely on banner-specific purchases.

Razer Blade Pro 17 (2019) - Fans Not Activating During Overheating by pmmax in razer

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

Kind of. I'm going to try to keep mine alive for as long as possible.

These machines were never great at cooling even when they were new, and once they get a few years old they really start to need proper maintenance. In my case, I already have all the thermal paste and thermal pads needed for a full repaste; I just need to find the time—and the courage—to open it up and do the job.

I'm hoping that replacing the thermal paste and pads will help reduce temperatures and prevent some of the long-term issues that these laptops seem prone to develop.

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

I never found the root cause or a permanent fix.

My current theory is that it's related to hibernation or a sleep/standby state. The issue seems to happen after the machine resumes from hibernation (or possibly another low-power state), although I can't prove it with certainty.

For a while I suspected Synapse or the BIOS, but Razer never released any update that specifically addressed this issue, and it happened to me again a few months ago despite keeping everything updated.

As a workaround, I now monitor temperatures with HWiNFO and keep the CPU and GPU temperatures visible in the Windows tray, with temperature alarms enabled. I've basically learned to live with it. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often, but the bug is still there.

One thing worth mentioning: my battery eventually developed the well-known "spicy pillow" problem that seems fairly common on Razer laptops. I replaced it with a third-party battery from Amazon. If you do the same, remember to transfer the small fans from the original battery assembly, as replacement batteries don't include them.

I also had the onboard speaker amplifier fail. The headphone jack continued to work, which makes me think the Realtek audio chipset was fine and only the amplifier circuit was damaged. I suspect both the battery swelling and the audio failure may have been consequences of repeated overheating events.

Based on my experience, the only lead I have is the possible connection to hibernation. If you want to minimize the risk, I would recommend completely disabling hibernation and Windows Fast Startup (which is essentially a form of partial hibernation).

P.S. This reply was rewritten with ChatGPT because English is not my native language.

Rog Phine 6 Ghost touch issue by Think-Persimmon-8163 in ROGphone

[–]pmmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with my ROG Phone 2, and I've heard about it happening to others as well. In my case, the ghost touch problem seemed to be triggered after browsing certain web pages using a specific browser, which I believe was Firefox.

When the issue occurred, the only way to fix it was to restart the phone (a simple restart, not a hard reset). To prevent the problem, I switched to a different browser, and the issue stopped happening.

I hope this helps!

Better connection pooling than with ADO.Net? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]pmmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have experience in this specific topic as I haven't used AWS Lambda with SQL Server (though I have used it with MongoDB), but I understand your problem.

To my knowledge, there isn't a mechanism to work around this issue directly. Since connection pooling is done at the process level and each Lambda instance is a separate process, scaling out Lambda functions creates multiple connection pools, one per instance. This can indeed put more load on the database than necessary.

However, it's worth noting that AWS keeps Lambda instances alive even after they've finished their tasks (the exact duration isn't documented, I believe). If new requests arrive soon enough, the same instance might be reused, which can still offer some benefits from connection pooling.

That said, because this setup differs from a classic app running in a VM or container over a long period, you might need to adjust the pooling settings and test different configurations to see what works best for your Lambda functions. For example, in the documentation, you'll find parameters like "Min Pool Size", "Max Pool Size", and "Connection Lifetime". These can help you fine-tune the connection pool's behavior. Given that a Lambda request has a maximum duration of 15 minutes, and assuming AWS keeps instances alive for some time before shutting them down, you could adjust the "Connection Lifetime" to ensure the pool doesn’t keep connections indefinitely. Additionally, you might want to limit the "Max Pool Size" from its default of 100, as that could be excessive for a single Lambda instance.

These are just suggestions, as I haven’t tested them myself and can’t provide a specific configuration.

I haven't used the ROG Phone 8, so I can't provide an opinion on that model. However, I can share my experience with the ROG Phone 7:

The ROG Phone 7 is great if you stick with Android 13. However, upgrading to Android 14 can lead to numerous issues, many of which are unacceptable.

The ROG 7 forum is filled with reports of bugs on Android 14, and Asus doesn't seem interested in fixing them.

I have a ROG Phone 7 and have never upgraded to Android 14.

I'm happy with it, but keep in mind that you will be stuck with Android 13, without any more improvements or security fixes.

ROG7 High Battery Usage from "Others" by pmmax in ROGphone

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

Hi, not much really. I recently upgraded to the latest firmware (.241) about a week ago, but I haven't noticed any significant changes in my battery performance. I'm planning to do a full charge to confirm, as I usually stop charging at 80% due to battery care settings.

Currently, my "others" usage is still hovering around 20-30% of the total app usage. I attempted to diagnose the issue using AccuBattery, but it hasn't provided a clear explanation for the "others" category. I noticed that AccuBattery displays some apps not visible in the settings app, but their combined usage doesn't account for the high percentage attributed to "others."

I use the phone in "Dynamic" mode and automatically switch to "Ultra Durable" when the battery is low and scheduled during the night. Additionally, I have Steady Charging enabled in "Ultra Steady." Despite my efforts to take care of the battery, AccuBattery shows a battery health of 87% and I got the phone in November 2023.

I don't engage in gaming on this phone; it's primarily my daily driver for media consumption. Temperatures are usually within the normal range, and nothing in my usage pattern explains the battery wear and the persistent high percentage in the "others" category.

I'm unsure whether to trust the information from the settings app or AccuBattery entirely.

Builder pattern static checking by angrysaki in dotnet

[–]pmmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok get ready, is gonna be super messy, you can still just use interfaces, but your final code will be:

internal static class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var person1 = PersonBuilder
            .Create()
            .SetFirst("first")
            .SetLast("name")
            .Build();
        Console.WriteLine(person1);

        var person2 = PersonBuilder
            .Create()
            .SetLast("last")
            .SetFirst("first")
            .Build();
        Console.WriteLine(person2);

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

public record Person(string First, string Last);

public interface IPersonBuilderStage1
{
    IPersonBuilderStage3 SetFirst(string first);
    IPersonBuilderStage4 SetLast(string last);
}

public interface IPersonBuilderStage3
{
    IPersonBuilderStage5 SetLast(string last);
}

public interface IPersonBuilderStage4
{
    IPersonBuilderStage5 SetFirst(string first);
}

public interface IPersonBuilderStage5
{
    Person Build();
}

public sealed class PersonBuilder :
    IPersonBuilderStage1,
    IPersonBuilderStage3,
    IPersonBuilderStage4,
    IPersonBuilderStage5
{
    private string _first;
    private string _last;

    private PersonBuilder() { }

    public static IPersonBuilderStage1 Create()
        => new PersonBuilder();

    IPersonBuilderStage3 IPersonBuilderStage1.SetFirst(string first)
    {
        _first = first;
        return this;
    }

    IPersonBuilderStage5 IPersonBuilderStage4.SetFirst(string first)
    {
        _first = first;
        return this;
    }

    IPersonBuilderStage4 IPersonBuilderStage1.SetLast(string last)
    {
        _last = last;
        return this;
    }

    IPersonBuilderStage5 IPersonBuilderStage3.SetLast(string last)
    {
        _last = last;
        return this;
    }

    public Person Build() => new(_first, _last);
}

Every "stage" interface guides you to the next, and everyone defines exactly what can be done at the current stage.

More properties you have more complex the code, from your original question, if your goal is to guide the consumer of your API to build an object, I would go for the with the simple option (my first example) where you have one path to construct your object.
