NoneYa,

Yeah there have been some games that were being announced I was interested in. On Instragram, they have a very good algorithm for me about music. I’ve clicked a few that were legitimately interesting. Some were promoting a musical artist and I technically didn’t click the ad, itself, but I did go to YouTube to look up their music and give it a listen.

NoneYa,

You’re unfortunately correct. IT departments will just implement a new GPO to modify registry or otherwise hope to block this or pause this update until they absolutely have no choice and then hope for the best or hope to block it later down the line.

NoneYa, (edited )

Click (2006). Though I still disagree about skipping through work. I’d love to have a remote to speed through the day for work.

But everywhere else, I understand the message. Take time to enjoy each moment, even the dull ones. I tear up at the last scenes with his dad played by Henry Wrinkler. I remember my dad and the times I was frustrated with him and the situation he was in near his end. I remember how I too said things I regret even if I did apologize and he did forgive me. That scene in the office kills me every time.

NoneYa,

Same here. I tell people that it’s my reminder of my mortality and how fragile life actually is. Treat each day as your last and live as if you won’t be here tomorrow, because it is promised to no one.

NoneYa,

Sony could have required retailers to do things like limit items per customer or not sell it at all. Sony could have made an actual attempt to sell directly to consumers. They supposedly had a program for that and even that didn’t let me buy a console from them. All they had to do was limit 1 to people who had existing PSN accounts for X amount of time and they weren’t even willing to do that. I’ve had my one and only PSN account since the early PS3 days and had every console up to the PS5, including the handhelds and many accessories. Paying fans like me should have been their top priority to sell to since they sell consoles at a loss and hope to make up the difference in games and accessories we buy for said console.

They had plenty of power to prevent or reduce it from happening and they didn’t do a damn thing. Hell yeah I’m swearing off the PS5 for that experience. Fuck them.

Plus, this PC building experience was legitimately fun and PC gaming is a much better way to go in many ways. Sony did me a favor realizing this and people like me won’t be coming back for the PS6 either.

NoneYa,

They lost me when they let scalpers buy up all the PS5s in my area. That money went to a gaming PC when those components became available. I was fighting to give them my money and they didn’t give a damn.

Hard pass, Sony. Should’ve treated your actual customers better.

NoneYa,

I had GamePass for a few years and just canceled last month. I barely used it anymore except for Minecraft and Halo Infinite and don’t play those anymore. I might even own Minecraft and have forgotten.

But then I signed back up for Nintendo Online because my girlfriend and her son just got Switches and we play Animal Crossing together. But it’s not as much as GamePass so not that big of a deal.

But I’m sick of subscriptions for shit I don’t even use. Everything nowadays has to be a subscription for no reason. Nintendo doesn’t even provide anything of valuable for theirs since I can’t even talk over it. I’m just paying for what used to be free on their past consoles.

NoneYa,

Leopards ate my face, anyone?

Don’t be surprised when the dog you’ve been training to be vicious comes back to bite you too.

NoneYa,

I kept wondering what would keep me from updating to newer versions of Windows.

Yeahhhh…this is it. This and the inevitable forced Microsoft accounts that will come with this.

The Microsoft of the past was evil, but at least you could pay for an upgrade to the enterprise version that didn’t include this bullshit, but even the enterprise versions suffer from this stuff too!

NoneYa,

Speaking from experience, once you stop paying, they become available for purchase.

I let mine lapse and some Chinese gambling site picked it up for their own business. I always wondered why Chinese sites were coming to my site when I owned it lol.

If it’s a more obscure name, it’s likely it’ll just be one of those sites that advertises that it’s available until someone buys it.

NoneYa,

If you’re doing the typical household batteries like AA/AAA, then you can get a pretty cheap kind like this oneAmazon link for this specific one a.co/d/hrW6U45

I got one off Temu for less than a $1 and I use it all the time. Its only power source, as far as I can tell, is the battery, itself to move the needle. So if it doesn’t show a result, then it is a dead battery.

NoneYa,

For anyone wondering, there are tools out there that will help you debloat Windows 10 and 11 and remove things like these obnoxious ads in the Start Menu. I did this last year on Windows 11 and even after countless updates, the debloating has remained. The tool I used also had an option to permanently “pause” Windows Updates too, but I didn’t choose that for the sake of security updates.

It’s terrible what Microsoft has done to the OS, overall, but for those of us who have to use it (and have control over the computer), we have this as an option to make the experience a little better, at least.

I can’t remember the exact tool I used but I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with this. There are many tools that will do this that are available and can be found by just Googling Windows debloater tool.

This Nintendo Switch Was in a House Fire! Let's Fix It! (youtu.be)

This Nintendo Switch Was in a House Fire! Let's Fix It! I paid $100 on eBay for a Nintendo Switch that was damaged in a house fire. The outside is gross and I'm guessing the inside is worse so, of course, we'll be opening it up to assess the damage and do the needed repairs and hopefully get everything working again. Bonus Fix:...

NoneYa,

Man it’s been a while since I came across one of this guy’s videos. Had no idea he was going through the medical stuff, but glad to see he’s still making videos!

NoneYa,

Look at all the cool stuff we get now that he’s in the public domain!

NoneYa,

Chocolate soda. I can’t remember exactly how it tasted but I remember not liking it and it didn’t remind me of chocolate but it was carbonated.

But that wasn’t the weirdest ones I saw as there was also a ranch soda and bacon soda.

NoneYa,

That 3rd one brings out the thalassophobia in me. Think it’s the dark color and odd shape of the wave.

NoneYa,

Do they want a cookie for barely doing the bare minimum gamers are asking of them?

And, at least on PC, technically Ghost Recon Wildlands can be played offline, but the fucking piece of shit will sometimes not launch if I don’t have internet despite it being years old in my library and me putting in hundreds of hours into the game. It’s that shitty, cheap Steam rip off Ubisoft Connect launcher that just needs to fucking die already that is one of the ways they get around the “oh this game doesn’t need an active internet connection…but it’s unnecessary launcher does!…”

NoneYa,

Thanks for the shoutout 😊 glad I could share something helpful today!

NoneYa,

On most computers, if you hit F12 in any Office application, it will bring the classic Save As window to bypass this bullshit.

It’s also nice if you ever wonder where a document was recently saved. I hit F12 again to see where it last saved.

I use it all the time at work because this has always been such an ugly, convoluted piece of shit to deal with when I just want to save to my local storage.

NoneYa,

They’re kind of working on one device that is basically smaller than an Apple TV and will connect to your TV and is thought to be strictly for streaming games and nothing more. Essentially would be this since you have no storage or resources for locally stored game playing.

This small device was seen on a shelf in a live stream a few years ago and there were some other rumors surrounding it.

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled (lemmy.world)

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

NoneYa,

Yeah we should be shaming companies that do this sort of shit.

OP, please tell us which brand designed this. I’d love to know to stay away from their crap as much as possible.

NoneYa,

A grinder to the center would make that compatible with a flathead screwdriver.

NoneYa,

I’m using an app on my iPhone called NFC Tools right now to do this so I can get you the numbers.

I just scanned one of my Amiibo tags (Legend of Zelda - Link, 8-bit) and it says that it is 540 bytes in size. This was one I copied over to an existing tag. It says it is 135 pages (4 bytes each).

Meanwhile scanning my debit card doesn’t seem to give me a size…

Here are screenshots so you can see what I see:

Amiibo

Debit card

And I also captured the signal when trying to do Apple Pay from my Apple Watch and this was the result

Apple Watch

I’m guessing these are encrypted which is why I don’t get the same data and makes sense now that I think about it. You could do some heavy damage to someone through this method if left open.

NoneYa,

You’re right and I know this because even I was contemplating buying it despite this. Trying to justify that I won’t care because I’m always in games for the single player offline experience. But fuck that, even if I’m alone, I’m not. I’ll wait for the pirated copy and play that instead.

Sony is banking on many of us who have been waiting years for this release to just roll over and suck it up.

And it’s the dumbest thing for them to fight the customer over because it’s a free account that could have just been an option if the player wants to link. I have a PS account and would have gladly linked my account to it without question had they not been forceful about it like this. And many more players would be the same.

NoneYa,

Why did they have to start this shit once they finally release the one game I’ve been looking forward to…

Fucking Sony always being a greedy corporate buzzkill.
