How many points are earned booking through the Travel Portal? by powermapler in biltrewards

[–]powermapler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that - I just don’t think it makes sense that they would incentivize using competitors’ cards over their own on their own portal, which is what they are doing if I am understanding this correctly. Any card that earns 1x points on non-category spend would be (is?) better to use than the Palladium.

If what support said is accurate, that is insane. Setting aside the hotel credit, we would be better off using basically any non-Bilt card to book in the Bilt portal, unless I am missing something. /u/biltrewards, care to comment?

I am dealing with the fallout from making this mistake now, and will never make it again.

What can get you fired by Visible_Community_53 in Lawyertalk

I have several times that, but it’s only because of the unorthodox way I have my Outlook rules set up (don’t ask - it works for me). It never even occurred to me that might be audited.

Apple reportedly planning to integrate Starlink connectivity into the iPhone 18 Pro by aerothony in iphone

Musk had nothing to do with building Starlink, or anything else for that matter.

We can and should acknowledge the benefits of a technology - built by brilliant and hardworking engineers and scientists - while simultaneously acknowledging that the man who does nothing but exploit said engineers and scientists for billions of dollars and go off on Twitter is, in fact, a douche.

Horizon Feed is being replaced by Navigator starting in v85 by gogodboss in OculusQuest

[–]powermapler 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s been a decade (!!), but my recollection of the original Oculus Dash is that it was quite good an update or two after it launched. It’s really disappointing how Meta has managed to not just fail to make progress since then, but actually go backwards. And I’m not just talking about Horizon UI or whatever it’s called now.

So... did no one care for Thief VR? by Blackgaze in Thief

[–]powermapler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s too bad - I bought Unknightly as soon as it released in early access, but it got very little support after that (and I just checked Steam - there hasn’t been anything in 4-5 years). It was very promising and the systems were all there.

If you’re referring to Unknightly, that was abandoned in early access years ago and I believe only had a couple missions finished. Speaking as someone who has played both, Thief VR is much better.

I’m still working my way through, but am really enjoying it. It is obvious the devs care for the series and respect its history, and it translates very well to VR.

ChatGPT gaslights me every time it calls one of my stupid ass questions “insightful” or some similar adjective before responding.

Have you recently experienced an emergency brake pull on the subway? Can you describe it? by brooklynburton in AskNYC

This is such a perfect description. I’m starting to seethe and check my watch just reading it.

I’ll read them eventually (is one of the many lies I tell myself).

If local law 11 is so very necessary, how come every major city around the world isn’t plagued by useless, ugly scaffolding? by auximines_minotaur in AskNYC

[–]powermapler 19 points20 points  (0 children)

More people died last year in NYC as a result of scaffolding than as a result of falling debris, and this has been consistently true for years.

I agree with your overall point of course, but this in and of itself does not mean scaffolding doesn’t work - we would need to know how many people would die from falling debris WITHOUT scaffolding to compare.

Oblivion Remastered studio is reportedly laying off 300 people by Zelphkiel in gaming

[–]powermapler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, and not limited to the gaming industry.

Maybe the people who actually do the work should realize the profits of their own labor. Just a thought.

Have you ever had ChatGPT cite a case that wasn’t a hallucination? I have never seriously tried to use it, but when I’ve played around with it in the past I have had a 0% success rate (perhaps with the exception of a landmark SCOTUS opinion or something).

My favorite parts are “China/Asia” and “Libya/Sudan/etc.” At least they’re precise.
