If we don't test for hurricanes, the problem will go away. Don't look up.

Not at all, it's just what I'm personally familiar with.

A dual USB C/USB A drive is always nice.

It makes transferring files from phone to phone or from phone to PC significantly nicer.

Shoutout to LocalSend if a purely software approach is applicable. Fills the same role very nicely, and is free.

just finished bioshock, wow!

Fantastic series, I'm glad you liked it, because I sure did as well.

I'm sure you're already loaded up with a backlog of recommendations and games you bought but haven't yet touched. But I'd highly recommend FTL: Faster Than Light, as well as Into The Breach. They're both from the same publisher, and are both amazing games that arguably are a defining feature of modern gaming.

I hear there are cheats for call of duty type things that people pay subscriptions for. I don’t get it.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. Could not care less about subscriptions, let alone for cheat subscriptions.

Thanks for sharing your experiences mate.

Of course. Enjoy whatever is next on your list!

I will admit I'm making some strong, harsh statements. But I think that's a pretty natural result of living in the U.S., a country who's cops operate closer to a gang than Rescue Heroes. They kill minorities with virtual immunity. They racially profile people. The list goes on.

Somebody who intentionally joins a group like that does not have good intentions, or is ok with their buddies not having good intentions, or gets kicked out quickly for tattling on their fellow cops. So yeah, cops are never on your side, at least not here.

But if a police officer were to remove your phone by force, first it would be illegal without a warrant so it would almost made you a favour as all evidence in your phone would be invalid in court.

Even if what they find on your phone isn't valid in court, it can still lead them to other things that are valid. For instance, a picture taken at a specific place with a timestamp. That picture may not be admissible, but if they find CCTV footage of you at that time and place, you're screwed.

Cops can and will overreach their powers, and they'll probably get away with it.

Even locked if they want the info in your phone they are probably getting it. They would have access to some of the best forensics teams and equipment.

Sure, but it's a lot harder for them if your phone is encrypted and shut off before you encounter them.

Following the same logic, should we never have an unlocked phone near a police officer? I don’t know about that.

You really shouldn't. Cops are never on your side.

Does your phone need to be unlocked to show that qr code?

Back in the day, there were cheats in computer magazines, a sequence of key presses that would give you loads of lives or money or bullets or whatever. I used those an loved em.

I still use those for my Nintendo DS. My dad had an extension card for his Sega genesis that did the same.

Cheats like that are as old as games themselves, and they're not going to be going anywhere any time soon.

It's just that now we have online versions, and if you're on PC you can edit any memory address you like, directly, with any value you like.

Of course, you're welcome

Aside from it being code you don’t want on your machine. I dunno, I don’t get why people cheat. Isn’t it a better feeling when you just play and get good?

I've done some cheating on GTAO, so I can speak to this a bit.

For me, the next biggest reason after the one you listed is that their game is grindy as fuck. I want to be able to play with the cool vehicles and toys in the game, but they're locked behind hours and hours of grinding, even just for a single item. I understand some people like that, but it's not for me. But it's also not just grinding that's the problem. Their loading screens in the game are frequent, slow (1-5 minute of loading each), and are filled with shitty crews that make it impossible to do the missions.

So back when I used to play I had a script that would just give me shit loads of money. I could buy what I wanted, have fun, and move on. Games are for fun, not for feeling like they're a second job.

What's worse, is that Rockstar intentionally makes it grindy so you're motivated to steal your mom's credit cards and use real world money to buy fake world money that lasts you about 20 minutes. It's very scummy behavior, and cheating is a way to get around that.

The script kiddies that just like to fuck with other people are a whole other can of worms. Those people can get bent.

Freetube is still working on my machine as of today for what it's worth.

Or use freetube/new pipe

 

I spent entirely way too much time trying to get one of these style extruders on my Ender 3. Maybe I picked a knock off without realizing it, maybe mine was just defective, I'm not entirely sure.

But it was ultimately the cause for my printer underextruding on certain layers. If you need a new extruder, go for something better than these cheap $20 ones and get an actually decent one.

But on the bright side, my printer is finally fixed! It feels nice to be able to get back into the hobby again.
