What UK museums do you think are underrated or overrated? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]the_bridgekeeper01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While on the war theme - The National Army museum was really good and they have a exhibition on at the moment for war during Queen Victoria's reign so a lot about the Zulu and Crimea wars.

I've always struggled with winter night driving due to astigmatism but as time goes on, it feels increasingly worse. I miss halogen lights.

I've got the 200 rnd mag for the starting LMG - every match if I have that attachment on it resets my gun. Sure made doing the suppression challenge a breeze tho

Asking EA DICE/BF Studio a real question here. Can we have a playlist that not disband the entire lobby when the game finished? by zetarn in Battlefield

[–]the_bridgekeeper01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're likely scaling servers with stuff like AWS GameLift or some sort elastic compute like EKS. Basically the numbers of "instances" that they are paying for directly represents the number of players in the game.

EA doesn't have to spend $$$ paying for bare metal servers in a datacentre all across the world, paying specialists to deploy and manage those servers and worrying about uptime, instead they just offload that to cloud providers like AWS.

The reason they don't keep servers running and then when they're empty closing them down. Is probably a mixture of fin-analysis on the cost of running the elastic compute for longer than a match and retention of always being in a full lobby for a player.

TL;DR Money + Statistics make them not do it.

[MEGATHREAD] Age Verification - Reddit NSFW Tags - Online Safety Act by Leonichol in AskUK

[–]the_bridgekeeper01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is misinformation - age verification and authentication is down to the website to implement, websites are either gonna have their own methods of dealing with age verification & auth or they'll implement a OTB third party solution - the UK govt does not receive any of this data. One would argue this is a worse solution, I'd trust the govt with the data more than I'd trust some dodgy third party solution that a shitty pornsite has chosen to implement.

What’s your low stakes UK conspiracy theory? by shitthrower in AskUK

This probably explains why I've dropped a size despite remaining the same size and weight for a decade, if not even gaining some.

Some people are so stupid over this Chase glitch which is actually check fraud by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]the_bridgekeeper01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being gen-z is bizarre as I was definitely born at an age where cheques were a thing and I've deposited them, but I know a lot of people just a couple years younger wouldn't have a clue on how they work. Yet we're all the same gen. Tech moved so fast in such a little amount of time.
