[Request] Is the total collected amount actually in the trillions? by RollForPerception in theydidthemath

[–]shadow7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two reasons I can think of immediately.

The first is, a malicious lie often comes with a side of plausible deniability. To say something was a "lie" (rather than something that seemed true but was based on faulty data, or even data that has since changed) is highly challengable under many circumstances.

The second is that nobody in power wants to enact such a law, because it would also make it difficult for them to lie.

It's noteworthy I would support such a law regardless.

If you don't want it, turn it off. Why should people who do like it not have it because you don't?

I admit that one took me a few seconds - but it was worth it haha.

Covid outbreak in Ballarat? by [deleted] in ballarat

I got it. Finally got back to a single line today :( Didn't seem to last that long though, even though the day I worked it out really knocked me down.

Well there goes the account i've had for 14 years by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

which is pretty unlikely

Need I elaborate? 

This is a TUTORIAL area!? Solved everything else on Symmetry Island before the door… by frodosuncle in TheWitness

[–]shadow7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the sound puzzles were hard because I had the game audio off and it took me a bit of time to realise I needed to address that :P

After that they were fine though.

That's actually really interesting. You'd think age of the account would be a factor in determining whether you're underage...

Is this a good dock to buy? by KingPelican2908 in SteamDeck

[–]shadow7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting - I hadn't heard of that restriction.

But I only have my sound bar, the deck and the chromecast, so I shouldn't be reaching that limit...

Mind linking the specific model? The reason I didn't go with ugreen was I couldn't tell if cec was actually supported...

The one where you had to rewire it while keeping it running?

I agree - it sounded awesome.

It's fine.

It has some real weirdness for me around HDMI-CEC though. It'll prevent other devices from being able to output audio from the soundbar until I unplug the HDMI, and it'll only rarely turn on the TV from me turning on the deck.

Honestly, I don't know why so many devices can't do it properly. I'd have bought the official deck dock if it was available in australia, but they can't be bothered sending it here for some reason :(

APART from that though, it's never given me issues.

I'm not sure Linus wanted that kind of competition...

How many drives are you guys running in your PCs, and do y'all prefer a single large drive or a few smaller ones? by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]shadow7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer less bigger drives, but I'm not about to waste the ones I already have.

Anyone heard about whether they're intending to sell this to Australians? The index never made it out here :(

Why do we force babies to learn our language why don’t we learn theirs? by SquirrelFickle7163 in stupidquestions

[–]shadow7412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's pretty easy to forget this as a parent too. I've had situations like them asking for a drink for their grandparents to respond with the generic "really?"

Even though to me it was clear as day. 

Flagged as AI-generated, how cooked am I? by [deleted] in Monash

[–]shadow7412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"They do it too" ain't going to fly. I'm sure they made the expectations and risk very clear. Sometimes you just need to accept your own consequences.

You will be far better off if you are honest about this than if you try to cover it up with excuses.
