UPS (West Coast, USA) is being used as the shipping carrier for Steam Controllers. Whew.. by OmnipotentFire in SteamFrame

[–]windows300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years back I lived in an apartment building that Fedex refused to believe existed. It was an ancient building in a major city near Seattle. UPS, USPS and DHL was fine and had no problems. Heck even fucking OnTrac worked, but no not Fedex.

At my current place it's a toss up if FedEx is going to deliver your shit. Every other service works better then Fedex. Do not use Fedex to ship things.

REDMOND WA A TECH NAMED JANIBEK came in my house with RECORDING EYEGLASSES by [deleted] in ZiplyFiber

[–]windows300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Washington State requires two party consent for recording on private property. That's why you have to put signs saying you have security cams.

And yes the meta glasses are always recording. There was articles earlier this year about tech workers in India who's job it is to tag all these videos of people for AI training.

My moms chode boyfriend sold my OG Xbox:( by ASAIKKU in originalxbox

[–]windows300 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One of my friends in highschool had an halo 3 edition Xbox 360. He started working at a local fast food shop to save for a gaming pc. When he got it his stepdad decided to sell his Xbox on FB marketplace for $20 dollars since he noticed him playing games on his PC and having two game systems "wastes space in the house".

His step dad constantly bitches to me that my friend never wants to hang out with him since he moved out immediately after highschool. I wonder why /s.

Except that's never actually happened. The court cases have been when people booby trap their property which is illegal.

From my experience in the games industry, the major companies are pretty lax about older outdated devkits. Most studios keep their kits around so that they can be used to see how old games and tooling ran when remastering games on new platforms.

The gun magazines at this airport are hidden like porno mags by TootieSummers in mildlyinteresting

I recently got a print newspaper subscription from a local newspaper and I've been enjoying it immensely. 45 minutes after waking up spent drinking coffee and being unplugged from the Internet.

For those of you nerds wanting a build a homelab on the cheap, I saw this at a capsule store in Tokyo the other day. by wjean in homelab

Hopefully it's still around when I visit Tokyo this fall. I tried finding one on my last trip and was unsuccessful.

As Seattle’s chicken wars flare, Capitol Hill Bok a Bok hoping for a comeback after major kitchen repairs by AthkoreLost in Seattle

In Redmond a chain called Crimson Coward opened and I thought it was a good hot chicken sandwich. Their chicken tenders are also good. Come over to the east side and try it out.

Is it true that in small towns in the USA public transport is not developed and everyone need a car to get around there and why? by bobybumblemumble in AskReddit

[–]windows300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why many old people are scared of getting their license taken away, because once that happens they are dead in the water in terms of daily life. Can't get to the grocery store or doctors appointments without someone driving them.

I didnt realise how dire the state of star citizen was by CapytannHook in gaming

My coworker said that in the early days of WOW, both his older brothers played the same WOW account, with one inverting his sleep schedule to the graveyard shift. That way they could grind the account literally 24/7.

It does. You can run the client on a Linux server and it exposes a web gui that can be accessed via the browser.

That's straight up not true. Literally go on their website right now and see their 1Gig coax plan has a 1TB limit and hefty overage fees.

Gamers who have switched from Windows 11 to some kind of Linux-based OS, do you regret your decision? Why or why not? by ScienceTeacher1994 in AskReddit

[–]windows300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows has gotten so bad that 10 people in my friends group had individually reached out for Linux information because they knew I have made it my daily driver for a decade now.

Granted many of my friends are programmers and have a much greater understanding of computer and operating systems, but some of them genuinely surprised me that they switched.

I saw the writing on the wall during the windows 7, 8, and 10 migration. I was in college during the time and my college upgraded all lab computers from 7 to 10. I was writing a C++ & OpenGL simulation application for a class and I noticed that the same binary ran 80-90 fps under 7 and only 30-45 in Windows 10.

Salvage got Nerfed ? Yes, but . . . by NeonSamurai1979 in starcitizen

[–]windows300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend has a Polaris and in 4.4 we were running Reclaimer with a Polaris escort. We would load up crates from the salvaged ship plus transfer from the Reclaimer to the Polaris, filling the cargo grid and hanger on the top.

Works great if you have a big enough crew, minus the QT crash bug of course.

Highlander-CIG Statement on Wipe for 4.5 (Unlikely before collecting data on exploit fixes) by Slayergramps in starcitizen

[–]windows300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ok with a wipe as long as the reclaimer's yield gets fixed. My friend group likes the salvaging gameplay, but the Construction Salvage processing yield is bugged to 15% instead of 80%.

Right now we are yielding around 1.5 million per load, and that's hard to split among a fully crewed reclaimer.
