As someone who works in Level 2 and 3 Tech, the majority of people who do contact me are actual morons who legitimately think turning off and on their monitor is akin to rebooting their PC. I know that has been memed to death, but it's true. I've legitimately had to make a whole presentation on the various ways to restart a computer and present it to a group of about 20 people.
I have so many stories to the point where, if I don't treat everyone like it's their first time touching a computer, it will lead to the user getting pissed off because I didn't tell them that they had to left click on their mouse because they're so used to their phone being touch screen that they assumed that every screen was.
I don't get the appeal of Threads, even if it wasn't run by Zuck. There's no Followed tab, you see literally everyone unless you decide to mute everything you do t want (which is a lot), and the search sucks. Oh, and it's not in chronological order.
You may or may not have stumbled across my comment on a post from a few days ago, mentioning how I fake banned my account on WhatsApp (attached below) when in reality I just deleted it....
Calm your tits my guy. I could go on and on to my family about privacy and all of that, but they don't give a shit. Now, if I were to tell them that I was banned from Messenger, they would actually switch to Signal. Some people don't really have any other option.
This is exactly my stance too. I'd love to try this game, but I'd be buying it just for it to not work soon. Seems like a poor financial decision to me.
I see so many people talking about using their deck to play games while others are watching TV with their partners or whatever. But I just can’t do it. I hate not hearing the sound effects, music, voice acting when playing a game, and I tend to find myself not using the deck as often as I would like as a result....
I play 99% of my games without sound honestly. I only have time to play games in the evening, and I can't focus on the sound if there's other sound around me (like my wife talking or my son doing his toddler babble), so I just mute every single game.
The whole "we're going to show you posts from everyone" is what made me stop too. I hated seeing so much shit that I just didn't care about. I can follow a few people and it just doesn't matter because they're being shouted down by the sheer amount of useless posts.
Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about....
I joined it with a fake account so I could check it out and immediately left once I realized there isn't a place to just see the people I chose to follow. I was being bombarded by so much shit that it was just an awful time.
I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.
I knew a guy that was CONVINCED he was a werewolf. He would refuse to go out on full moons and would bark/snarl at people in school if they got too close. He's in prison for CP now.
Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
I'm honestly stuck between Tetris (basically any form of it) and the entire Binding of Isaac series. I have put countless hours into these games and they're the ones I constantly go back to, no matter what.
Some time ago I gave up using sonarr & radarr to watch (popular) tv shows and movies because the search just stopped giving decent results. Now I heard that rarbg has also quit....
Just got this bad boy yesterday and I’m like a kid at Christmas! 😄 The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike… Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I’m enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is...
You can play it directly out of the box, but there are custom OS's out there that run things even better and add more features. You do supply the ROMs, but there are plenty of ROM packs out there too to make your life easier. I honestly recommend looking into RetroGameCorps on Youtube, he has some great content around these types of devices.
If you get the RG35XX specifically, I'd recommend this guide.
So, from what I've seen, it also counts comments under a tweet. So if you tap into a tweet, it automatically counts all of the comments as part of your limit. So, if you view a few popular posts, you're done for the day
From my understanding, the posts/day also includes any comments you load up. So, if you're not careful with the more popular Tweets, you could be rate limited in a very quick manner.
I'm still kinda in shock that it actually happened. Well, that's legitimately the end of the road for me on Reddit. I was on there for 12 years, and the majority of it was using RiF. Gg Spez, moron.
