Nervously looking out the window to see what their crazy neighbor is going to do next
Based on what? All apps just look like this now. If you blurred the content and told me this was the Netflix app, I'd be like yeah checks out.
His income is a complicated web of assets. They'd probably argue he only makes 100k a year.
Hands trembling. You reach into your pocket and pull out your phone. Opening the browser you type in deviant art and open a collection you've named Rule 34
Good god that is a hard headline to grok. I thought it had something to do with the actual day prior to something else.
I mean given the massive industry layoffs over the past few years developers are already pretty used to not having jobs.
I hate how developers are the ones attributed to game industry problems. Decisions like this almost never fall on the developers shoulders, specifically the ownership quote was from their subscription service director. You know... the guy whose job depends on you not wanting to own games.
Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.

There's a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.
He's also one of the hosts of the Vergecast https://pca.st/podcast/5cda9490-4117-012e-1622-00163e1b201c
Exactly. FDroid is a fraction of a percent of Android users. To get syncthing on your device you have to pass a lot of scary looking warnings on the way to get there. This is exactly what the monopoly trials were about.

And Sony advertising the PlayStation 9 instead of the PlayStation 2
Nope, like it opens to where it should be but the option isn't there
I suspect I enabled something that prevents this option
Can't find drawer navigation
I have two accounts in the app. One of them, if I go to Settings > General has "Drawer Navigation" and "Bottom Navigation"
My other account doesn't have these options at all.
I think the intention was sentient life as having Thanos stop the film to explain the terms and conditions of his snap would've impacted the pacing of the film.
Is this news? Emulation has been supported in official capacities since the virtual NES in game cube Animal Crossing. There's probably even earlier examples. The Wii virtual shop, the Switch has that classic games library and even those mini consoles.
I remember searching stack overflow for a oddly specific issue and found a post about it with an answer. The person who asked the question was me 6 years ago.
I felt there was a steady decline after season 1. Season 1 was near perfect then they started to stretch themselves too thin with all these C D and F plots. There were some highlights though like the coach beard episode and Amsterdam.
I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email
My internal chocolate bar cost has gone way up. I find the stuff at the bottom (like the stuff at the checkout) doesn't even taste like chocolate anymore. I usually get something from the specialty section now.
If I buy the 82 dollar turkey today and sell it when the turkey market hits 100 do I have to declare turkey capital gains
I'm just waiting for aGameScout to drop a video on this one. He's been doing excellent deep dives on every Tetris milestone
Backstreets of Rome
Canon EOS 70D
f/16.0 1/640 18.00mm ISO160O
I don't remember the exact location, we were on holiday in Rome. We were on our way to a restaurant called "I Porchettoni" after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain. Looks like the restaurant is rebranded to Trattori Pigneto. It's not far from here but I can't seem to find the exact street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPqW2RCHkv8GYyE6
Don't know the guy, just thought his jacket would look cool in a picture with the bricks and graffiti
If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup?
Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap UPS
Shipwreck of Hephaestus
We were traveling through Malta in 2018 when I came across this. According to the locals it had crashed up on shore about a month prior. They didn't know what to do so they tied it off until they could come up with a solution. My personal favorite of the photos I took. The two guys below were exploring the ship. Thought it would ruin the shot but it ended up adding some good scale.
How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client
I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results.
Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag.
Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing,
MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine.
Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream
Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV
Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I've got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder.
My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast.
Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices?
EDIT
After some looking around Kodi might be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further.
EDIT 2
The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution
I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy?
Ok so here's the rules
- I just bet on red every time
- I start with 1 dollar
- every time I lose, I triple my previous bet
- every time I win I restart
I'm going to simulate 10 games
- Game 1 - Bet $1 Lose
- Game 2 - Bet $3 Lose
- Game 3 - Bet $9 Win $18
- Game 4 - Bet $1 Lose
- Game 5 - Bet $3 Lose
- Game 6 - Bet $9 Win $18
- Game 7 - Bet $1 Lose
- Game 8 - Bet $3 Lose
- Game 9 - Bet $9 Lose
- Game 10 - Bet $18 Win $36
In this simulation I'm losing at a rate of 70%. In reality the lose rate is closer to 52%. I put in $54 but I'm walking away with $72, basically leaving the building with $18.
Another example. Let's pretend I walk in with $100,000 to bet with. I lose my first 10 games and win the 11th.
- 1 lose
- 3 lose
- 9 lose
- 27 lose
- 81 lose
- 243 lose
- 729 lose
- 2187 lose
- 6561 lose
- 19683 lose
- 59049 win $118098
$88573 spent out of pocket, $118098 won
Walk out with roughly $29525.
I get most casinos won't let you be that high but it's a pretty extreme example anyway, the likelyhood of losing 10/11 games on 48% odds is really unlikely.
So help me out here, what am I missing?
LPT: If you're ever in a conversation circle at a social function, keep an eye out for people trying to get in and get them up to speed
This feels like a common courtesy I don't see enough, particularly the second point. In a conversation circle, always try to keep your side vision open to people trying to find their way in. It can be awkward to try and find your own way in so giving them a spot tells them they're included then drop a quick brief on the conversation "We're talking about pineapples on pizza, good or bad" gives them context to jump in immediately.
Game recommendations: Passive / Turn Based + Portrait Orientation + No IAP (or at least minimally invasive)
I'm looking for some game recommendations. I feel like a ton of these games exist but they're riddled with IAP. I don't mind paying a little to buy the game. I have the play pass but so many of these games are active involvement and landscape orientation. I like to have an extra hand free and landscape requires both hands on. But really want passive engagement. Like as soon as I stop playing the game is waiting for me. Example games:
Polytopia
Magnet Balls
Free Cell
Threes
Card Thief
Knights of Pen and Paper
Games like Slay the Spire (but portrait). Although I've never really found a Slay the Spire-like that didn't feel like a watered down version of STS
