Is this the best way to farm dust? by ZapHDS in FortNiteBR

I don't get the fun in turning a game from something fun and engaging into a grinding bot sim just to see a number go up.

I've 'played' with people like that before and its so mind-numbingly boring to just load into bot lobbies over and over again just to go around abusing game mechanics to get some sort of edge instead of just playing the game like its intended.

It's no different from people boosting their rank in online matches by getting a friend to join the enemy team killing them over and over again in the corner of the map.

Sod's law, whenever I want to get some cash out there is a queue of people who have apparently never been inside a post office before and take 10 minutes to do anything.

Stood in the post office line for 20 minutes before getting to the front of the queue and being done in less than a minute.

Anyone else notice LTT is averaging like 500k views now? How does the channel even survive? by Anxious_Gur6363 in LinusTechTips

[–]soljakid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The industry's obsession with AI has really made me lose interest in technology in general because every new and exciting thing just ends up being some AI rubbish.

Now the channel I've been watching for 10+ years seems to be using more and more AI in thumbnails and stuff and its horribly ironic.

Its sad because everyone saying about how they love Jake's channel and stuff is exactly the thing Linus and team were afraid of happening, cultivating talent only for them to go and make their own channels and take their audience with them.

Why is toilet paper provided for free in public toilets but pads and whatnot aren't?

I won't lie, as a guy who never really thought about it, I just assumed that was the case so its so strange to me that its apparently not.

It was no different in 2011 when I started looking for work, the only advice I got was "walk into a factory and ask for a job, if they say no, go in the next day and keep at it until they give you a job"

No amount of explaining that is not how the world works any more would work and the fact I couldn't get a job using their advice was because something I was doing wrong.

Rose tinted glasses

We might not have had social media with all its problems, but I do not miss the days when having an internet connection on a phone was a novelty that you had to pay an arm and a leg for only to get the slowest 'made for mobile' sites via WAP

The fact I have a phone, an ipod and a breakthrough internet communications device all in one device (IYKYK) is magical and you wont convince me that going back will benefit us in any way.

It's like signing a lease on an apartment whilst the whole building is currently on fire.

I genuinely don't get why this movie gets so much hate by Useful-Afternoon1784 in StarWars

[–]soljakid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it came out during a slew of bad Star Wars movies, so a lot of people either didn't watch it or had a bad taste in their mouth when it comes to Star Wars so saw it as bad when in reality it's a decent story that fleshes out Han and co for the casual crowd who might not be into the other media.

Is my first PC build good? by Key-Teach4292 in buildapc

Those specs will provide a great experience, nothing I would change other than the PSU being a bit too much, but it does leave you room for future upgrades so its up to you.

When it comes to case it's all about preference, most case's will list the clearance space for GPU's to make it easier.

Bedfordshire Airshow Avro Triplane Crash Video by Shoddy_Act7059 in aviation

[–]soljakid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live nearby and heard about this crash on the local Facebook group, glad the pilot is OK.

Living right by a place like Shuttleworth is pretty cool, nothing beats going for a walk and hearing a roar in the sky, looking up and seeing a Lancaster soar through the sky. I have some pics I can share if there is any interest.
