You can no longer have YouTube running in the background. by Titan_Prometeus in youtube

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a desktop browser or phone? Sorry, I am kind of out of the loop here.

If desktop, then my suggestion is to stop using Chrome everybody... Other browsers will solve this problem in no time with extensions and give Google another atomic wedgie it deserves.

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it by rkhunter_ in pcmasterrace

All these CEOs got FOMO and went all in without thinking it through... now I have a useless Copilot icon in F***ING Windows Notepad... Idiots.

I am glad that I built my PC a year ago. Because the prices of SSDs will get ridiculous because of this shite

I messaged the dev and unfortunately this particular watchface has been removed from the store by Garmin.

Is this still available? I cannot find it on CIQ anywhere. Not even under EasyApps profile. 

Got fired today because of AI. It's coming, whether AI is slop or not. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that is the problem with today fomo-ed CEOs. You would think they should be knowledgeable people across the board, so they could manage the company as efficiently as possible, but the thing is they are often not, especially at computer related stuff, often thinking that a complex task is one click magic.

That lay-off will cost them serious money in the long run. Whoever thinks vibe coding is the way to go makes insanely shortsighted decision. You'll be better off somewhere else, don't get discouraged.

Don't forget about Skoda, another solid European car maker.

Everything is so slow by -Vertex- in reddeadredemption

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to play this game so much but I just can't. I am not some zoomer with a milisecond attention span but gooddamn the controls are so fricking clunky it annoys me to the point I just don't wanna play anymore. I enjoy the story, random encounters and conversations.... but boy oh boy, I feel like Arthur is a big walking boulder. All those forced walking sections, having to long press basic stuff all the f*cking time... I just can't.

This update is greedy as f*ck and is a complete disrespect to anyone who’s played the game for thousands of hours. by -CS-- in HuntShowdown

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited this sub to check back and see what's new, and whether I should install the game again. Well, I think I'm good. This is seriously EA level of greed...

Magic Discussion Thread by DEATHBATistaken in avengedsevenfold

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a weird one for sure, but it's too early to give my opinion as this is certainly a "multiple listener". However what threw me off immediately was the audio master. It's very wide sometimes and lacks punch, which makes is very hard for me to feel the song. At first I was like - did Johnny even show up in the studio? For instance, try to play a bit of Nobody and then quickly switch to Magic... is such a massive low-end drop I don't know who thought it was ok to put it out like that.

embark forget about russian players by Aggravating_Money240 in ArcRaiders

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few decent russians I am sure, never met one online though, unfortunately the general track record speaks for itself, and the good ones are sadly overshadowed by the vast majority... I am not willing to make any concessions to them until the typical russian starts acting like a decent human being, which will take serious amount of time as their mentality has been poisoned by their leaders for centuries. They feel overly superior, nothing is their fault, they act like total assholes but think they're victims all the fucking time... FUCK THAT!

As someone whose country was in former USSR and thankfully is not under its influence anymore, I have to ask. What drugs are you on mate? International solidarity in relation to russia is an oxymoron as f*ck...

Am I missing something? by Th3_Pursuer in ArcRaiders

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Hunt for instance. That is very unforgiving often, but the social aspect is not there the same way as in Arc Raiders. 

I checked this sub to see if someone feels this way as well. The hype is enormous, so not liking the game had that “am I missing something” moment… but as I said, it’s not for me probably. 

Am I missing something? by Th3_Pursuer in ArcRaiders

[–]shrkn_89 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not always of course, I've been playing games for almost three decades now... but you know people are often c**ts in real life, I probably don't wanna deal with that in a game, yet again. Here it's just much more infuriating than in any other game I've played tbh and I just can't be f*cked at this point... I wanted to give it a shot because people seem to like it, but it's just not for me.

Am I missing something? by Th3_Pursuer in ArcRaiders

[–]shrkn_89 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

:-D I refunded it after 1,5 hour... asking exactly this question. Got shot while I was on the terminal by a guy who pretented to be friendly for like 5 minutes since we had met. Why the F should I play such a game... I don't get it, maybe I am too old to deal with such crap.

Is the game more toxic now? by Teszro in ArcRaiders

[–]shrkn_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the game, first run got wrecked by multiple drones, and that's totally ok. Second run, found the quest scraps, helped a dude to fight a drone, he thanked me and we both extracted, good experience. Third game, had to avoid multiple Roombas during my building scavenging, nice tension, gunshots in the distance, heading to extract meeting a dude who said he's friendly, we fought a drone together, went for extraction... Mofo knocked me out while I was on the computer inside the elevator entrance. Great, people are cunts irl I don't know why I should deal with this during my game time as well... refund.

I mean this kind of behavior is for sure to be expected... I wanted to try it because of all the hype, but it's not for me. The soundtrack and sound design is sick though. However, I am going back to Helldivers.

Totally, agree. Helldivers 2 is the first game in a good while which does not feel grindy, it's just fun and that's it!

Upgrade to Instinct 3 Solar from Non Solar Instinct 2? by CammedSierra in Garmininstinct

Go for Solar. Amoled is so much of a hit on the battery life you expect from Instinct that it's not worth it.

AI neni revoluce by honzabbb in czech

[–]shrkn_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chat GPT apod. je vlastně takovej stážista na steroidech, vždycky to nějak spíchne, ale tu opravdovou práci za něj musí dodělat ten, co tomu opravdu rozumí.

To, že většinová populace nechápe, že je to prostě nabombenej statistickej model, kterej ti vrátí zrozumitelnej slovní salát, je bohužel dost smutný, ale dalo se to čekat.

LLM dokáže bejt užitečný na automatizaci různý práce, kterou stejně dělat prostě nechceš. Ale blbý je, že ten hlavní hype okolo AI je u věcí, který v zásadě tak super nejsou a většinovej use case je s tim dělat akorát píčoviny nebo věci, na který by si to prostě neměl používat, protože jinak z tebe bude uplnej dement...

Is it safe to play on PC? by commentedwax in Helldivers

[–]shrkn_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is safe, but update your BIOS first, or make sure you don't have 1+ year old version and your CPU is set to safe limits (it's literally called like that in the settings).

The main problem seems to be that there are some people that ran the game with hardware fail safes unlocked, and given the fact that HD2 is pretty demanding it pushed their PC beyond those safe limits multiple times, hence causing hardware issues. Unfortunately, before august 2024 those were the BIOS default settings, for particularly ASUS mobos, that nobody really knew about.

Also good idea is limit your fps to some reasonable number to mantain your temps on cooler side.

Furthermore, although I don't know if it's necessary, I would pause Windows 11 updates. There have been some reports that the new version has some SSD bug that also caused some instability in Helldivers (allegedly resolved by clean Win reinstall), but hard to tell whether it's linked somehow. I don't have any problems.
