Technically the deflectors were only there in case the interruptors didn’t work right for some reason I believe. Still kinda funny tho

From my limited experience using it on a shitty Chromebook for school (granted also pretty locked down) and it’s not great. Pretty much only useful for doing web things and the Google ecosystem. I also have no idea whether it’s even possible to get it on anything else.

From a UI perspective I didn’t really like it l, especially as it and other chrome apps got more and more sleek and curvy. I did grow up using a Linux mint laptop though, only getting a dual booted Linux/Windows PC in highschool for some games that needed it as well as running SOLIDWORKS at home. (thanks to my dad for all that lol)

As a other premium user, trust me that is not the main reason I use it, it’s entirely to get rid of ads on mobile. I use the feature occasionally on mobile too but on desktop I use sponsorblock and it’s wayyy better both from an accuracy and user interface standpoint.

Sidenote: I also am on a plan that my parents pay for, though I used to pay for it myself after getting it for free for 6 months and I couldn’t go back to the ads

I’d agree, but that slope will be a long and hard one. And the hype cycle may have many more peaks and troughs of disillusionment, from new breakthroughs, but the researchers will still make steady progress.

I think they mostly mean dead as in not many people playing them consistently, but that’s of course due to the fact that they are quite old and don’t have a ton of replayability. (In regards to portal and half-life.)

Though I’d also argue that they are far from dead in spirit, as they are still very well regarded and thought of, and still talked about quite a bit. And there is of course always new people discovering or playing them since they are such classics.

Minecraft is still of course alive and well, for me personally it is my single most played game, and I still play it from time to time, albeit primary modded.

Gotta say, it was quite a good video. I think I watched either most of all of it over the course of a few days to a week a while ago.

Not who you were replying to, but very good explanation and interesting read!

I mean, unironically basically yeah. Though said market in his case is made up entirely of investors/shareholders lol

Hell, in this case the global interest, the problems with these corporate decisions and monopolies can cause major issues for pretty much everyone.

To be fair they only said having a subscription for the accompanying software was a ‘possibility’, not that it would need one, and that it would be likely to be in the ~$200 price range, and with upgradeability and repairability in mind, as well as reliant on software updates.

Honestly depending on how much they lean toward the subscription and/or software update reliance having a mouse designed to last a lifetime and be upgradeable and repairable would be nice, even at a rather higher price point.

That’s the regular deepcore grenade launcher but with the Fat Boy overclock.

How useful is the fort? I imagine it’s unhelpful for the phase bombs but for other stuff it might be decent

I had just been searching around and messing with stuff and narrowed it down to only having problems when in a discord call and connected to my headphones with Bluetooth, but not when the same device was in wired mode. I tried a different audio channel mixer that I found for free after a quick search, and now it works! Thanks!

Yeah that’s a little what i suspected, it’s worked fine on win 10 with the exact same setup thoughm What other software did you find that worked? And was something to replace discord or just help with audio mixing?

For the CAD, that’s pretty much what I expected and definitely seems to be the overall conclusion.

Just tell them that there’s a lot of shooting too, maybe show them a video of a mission or something.

Edit: also if you have a discord group then maybe stream you playing it in a voice call?

Yeah i really like it. i just tried it on my laptop in normal browser, and it does behave poorly. even in voyager/wefwef on my laptop it is weird using this link but on my phone it acts like this

Edit: maybe it’s because on my phone I’m signed in to lemmy.world and it auto-fixes the link?

Just to confirm, it’s the @programminghumor link right? When I tap it it sends me to the community in the app, not opening a website. I’ll check how it behaves on my laptop too in the normal website

And Voyager is what was formerly wefwef.app, the url is the same still I think but the name has changed. It’s a PWA for mobile

It actually is clickable and works properly for me, using voyager + Firefox + android funnily enough

Yeah for the most part it is fine, it’s just given me some weird problems I haven’t had before, not sure if windows is to blame or the computer itself. For some reason whenever I am playing a game on steam and also in a voice call on discord the game audio will get cut out and/or distorted a lot of the time. The overall complaints are of course being somewhat bloated and morals.
