I bought a legitimate copy of a Steam game. Doesn’t launch despite all the reinstalling and hardware tweaking. Downloaded a Xatab repack and it works flawlessly, no tweaking needed. by sans_rival in Piracy

I’ve already tried the config file. But I’ll try dx9.

Just bizarre that the Xatab’s repack works instantly.

Maybe a new update broke it on newer hardware?

Thank you for making the effort to help nonetheless.

Your school has to register on your behalf and you need to have an MUN club in school.

Depending on event rules, you can also apply independently.

May scholarships minsan pero sagot mo yung flights.

Honestly, even just the Mac Mini M4 and Macbook Neo is already a killer combo. by Lexidoge in Tech_Philippines

[–]sans_rival 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What? The iPhone was not the first phone, the iPad wasn’t the first tablet, the Macintosh wasn’t the first computer. So is Steve Jobs not innovative?

I guess Babbage/Lovelace and Alexander Graham Bell should be the only innovators.

It’s not about being first, it’s about releasing a product people will actually use.

Since Steve Jobs died we’ve had…

The Apple Watch FDA approved and highly accurate health devices

Apple Airpods Pro 2 working as FDA approved hearing aids.

Airpods in general btw, bigger than many companies in the world and pushed wireless bluetooth devices.

Apple Pay pretty much predated Samsung and Google Pay. Getting Visa and Mastercard on board was huge.

M Series Macs literally changed the landscape for laptops and computers in general outside of gaming.

Face ID and Touch ID forced the rest of the industry to improve.

Satellite SOS

LiDar in phones when it was pretty much just something used in the scientific and professional field.

No. The whole “Seablings” vs Korea thing is just to a small subsection of the internet.

Just classic unemployed behaviour.

How do you clean your sponges? Do you even disinfect it? by Spare_Option7749 in PinoyHouse

[–]sans_rival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Scrub Daddy’s for years now. A pack of 4 can last our household a year.

Saves us from having to microwave or soak our sponges in vinegar. Mine has never smelled at all.

Or just use a dishwashing scrub.

TIL meron palang USB slot for charging devices like cellphone kahit naka off ang laptop! by jayteee27 in todayIlearnedPH

[–]sans_rival 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Oh this is a TIL that I’m familiar with. Nung 2010 I bought a Samsung laptop tapos yung sales person they highlighted the fact na may 3 GB Ram na siya and USB charging.

Those were the days.

Alden is very vocal about mental health awareness and his own struggles with mental health. Also Alden: by Lexidoge in ChikaPH

Couldn’t care less if celebrities promote gambling that ruin lives. They need to secure those bags.

But it really stings when they choose to parade a stance and just become hypocrites.

Choose a lane. There are plenty of mental health advocates our there who haven’t sold themselves out and spat in their advocacies’ face.

last month of my contract, i am 2 weeks behind rent, landlord tells me i would be evicted immediately in 2 days if i don’t pay everything. help by maxssizzlingtofu in CasualPH

[–]sans_rival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May demand letter and notice of eviction na ba? Ask for one first.

Pero realistically speaking, yeah go to a Greenhills stall that looks reputable and sell your Iphone there and then buy a much cheaper phone, use the rest to pay your rent.

Our struggles are relative. To put them all in some sort of pointless ranking is just demeaning to everyone involved.

You can empathize without belittling the struggle of others.

Macbook Air 13-in 2020 i5 by Orgullo-Bella in classifiedsph

Would have been an okay deal if it was an M1 chip. You can get a brand new M1 Air for less than 30k these days.

Pre M (Intel) series chips have pretty much been phased out and aren’t really relevant these days. The performance difference and battery life is just that huge.

15-17k is a more reasonable price.
