Hey that’s looking damn close to what mine is, but they still managed to squeeze through
Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.

The biggest reason of why I struggle to get into any of the subscription-based games, because none of them are only subscription based, they charge you both for the game and the subscription afterward so you have both the price of the game plus any type of expansion packs plus the subscription cost monthly afterward and that’s without including any of the microtransactions. I don’t know why anyone plays them
“haha I hit x object with a hammer y times, this is the result”
I’ve never understood these videos, phones were never built to survive these niche cases. Just a waste of material and a device.
it’s the “I threw my money in the fire” video, without the risk of being charged a federal crime.
yea this is really their biggest thing here, by the time conf emails get sent everyone will lose interest lol
Class members who make a payment selection by the response deadline will receive $20 for each relevant device they own. If there is more than $50,000 remaining in the settlement fund after all payments have been issued, class members may receive up to $50 per covered device.
that’s not that bad tbh, I got 34$ from a Sony class action based off privacy data, didn’t have to do anything but say yes I was effected
This is actually an optional thing, by default it will but it can be configured to be stripped, generally not a recommended thing though because it means that whenever you want to change the iteration count or the you need to force a password reset on every existing user
I’m willing to give him a pass on that one since they’re probably worried that their General audience will understand the word encrypted but not understand the word hashed
The only Victory I see in my medium term future is leaving the country. The US is fucked 5 ways to sunday and honestly I don’t see that recovering any time soon
Their ice cream and McFlurry is used to be really good for the value
I say used to because they more or less butchered the McFlurry in the past 7 years they no longer have the iconic spoons they’ve removed the packaging replacing it with a slightly smaller packaging and they’ve increased the cost by about double.
So far they haven’t shown any form above declined. In fact the actually just decided to separate from being an official Samsung repair partner, because Samsung was trying to dictate how much they were charging for the repair costs and were actively hinderings efforts regarding repairing Samsung products, so they decide that Samsung wasn’t aligned with their programs values and decided to drop the program. This doesn’t mean that they dropped how to repair Samsung devices, it just means that they no longer offer second party access to Parts it’s now third party and Samsung themselves aren’t providing the repair manuals anymore (not that they really did in the first place)
While I find their tools pretty steep in pricing, there’s still nowhere near cost of doing it through Apple or Samsung
yea I think if I shared a sub cost with someone it would be worth it, it’s the only reason i still have prime. I personally think that $120 for service rendered is a little low, but I believe that $240 is just too steep for a single person. For the benefits given, I think easily $5 a month for online, then like $7 or $8 a month for the games would be more then reasonable instead of the current $20 a month. I think 150-160 a year is more than fair for service rendered, but currently its roughly $15 a month for just the games(assuming the previous price of 60/year for only online which ends up being $5 a month), that’s almost a full indy game title monthly. Unless I’m actively playing more then 10 Indy games a year, or more than 4 AAA titles, it’s just not worth having for the current price. It’s usually cheaper to just buy the game outright
that being said, if PC game pass is what MS considers it’s Ultimate without online sub… they consider just the game portion as $12 a month, which for what is offered, I find too steep for my tastes for someone who would want to lock on for a year at a time.
Right, didn’t even bother to do the bare minimum of finding out if that’s intentionally how they wanted the video or not, then even acknowledges that fact at the end of the article.
I’m using keepassXC with syncthing as my sync service, with my server as an encrypted longterm storage. It’s pretty flawless, just make sure that you keep file versioning on(its a setting in syncthing) for at least 2 versions, I haven’t had it happen yet but, with any dual system setup there might be a sync conflict if it fails to sync before being modified.
That’s actually good enough that if I was a tourist, I might actually fall for that, dang lol
Yea I think that’s a good compromise, I want creators to go on Bsky so its all in one place… (and I can escape the Political and ad succumbed hell that is X), RSS would be an interesting route but like, it would need a feed for every creator wouldn’t it? unless the social media platform allows it built-in like BSky does
gamepass ultimate isn’t worth the value for me. realistically there is only maybe 3 games a year I really must have wanted to play, and most of them I know will go on sale later on down the road. Paying 240$ a year for a program that I only really am going to play maybe a handful of must play games on isn’t worth it.
The issue isn’t the selection of games on the platform, they have a ton. It is just cost wise, why pay 240$ a year for it, and get a handful of games I can only play while they sub is active, when most games I play are in the 20-40$ range anyway and if I just buy them it’s a once off can play forever purchase. I can’t even give them the argument of convenience, because it’s equal to 4 AAA titles yearly, that you need to keep paying for in order to continue to use.
I don’t care about a second layer of security on most of my things, like Lemmy for example, I really don’t care if it’s secure. My blizzard launcher, I really don’t care. my discord? ok maybe a little
Being said due to this, I have both my TOTP and my Passwords in the same program. It still requires a second password to access, but it removes a little of the security. My vault is encrypted by a private key plus a password, and any type of off-system storage is encrypted an additional level past that, if someone gains access to that vault, I have far worse issues at hand then someone managing to steal my accounts.
As someone who was late to the FFXIV train, I just started a few months ago so I started while the unlimited free trial system was already established. But I have many friends who do pay for a sub.
I think their decision to open the game to be an unlimited free trial was a smart move, however their decision to make it a one and done trial was not. I 100% would be ok with paying for multiple months of subscription in order to get the features that the sub provides as a player, but like I know that if I ever chose to do so, I will never be allowed to /not/ pay. This means that me as a player will likely never spend a dime on the game, because I don’t want to be introduced into that sunk cost.
If they were planning to go F2P they should have full sent F2P, the hybrid route of “Yea you can play as long as you want, but as soon as you give us money you will be required to give us money forever to play” route is counter productive and is likely costing them quite a bit of money itself.
How does this reflect on the monthly sub cost? Well it’s simple, removing the requirement of a sub to play on it’s existing userbase, while at first will be a money hit because the non-team players that are trapped with their predatory monetization scheme will leave, but a good majority of their player-base would keep their sub, because FF XIV is very much a team social based game, and the restrictions given for F2P are not viable in later on dungeons as the usage of the marketplace system and the free company system is moreorless a must have in order to play.
Players will swap to a stop the sub when they don’t want to play team wise, and renew it when they need socials again, but since the sub is now “optional” there won’t be as much of a need to make the sub feel worth the money. Which is their biggest problem right now with other competitors releasing highly successful expansion packs under a fully subbed model.
In my opinion the new update that they did which added new game modes was nice Devil’s mode on both are as fun as hell, but it was really a step backwards for people who play with their friends to make it so it’s not possible to see the cards that other people have when dead. It ruined the entire enjoyment of being dead for the game, I can understand why they did it for public lobby but a private lobby shouldn’t have had that restriction it just ruins the enjoyment and the content of people being dead.
A good portion of being dead when playing with friends was monitoring how they played their hand that way next round you could potentially use that but the person would know that you use that so they would know to throw up how they did it, now you can more or less run the same strategy for eight nine turns in a row no one’s going to know how you did it and then change it up it’s boring.
this would essentially kill my method of viewing videos on the platform, this isn’t a boost to interaction they think it will be, it will ultimately result in me watching less videos as I won’t have the ability to decipher trash from good, so I’ll just stick with content creators that I am used to and no longer branch out like I currently do.
