I’ve so far blocked two accounts spamming this game…wtf man.

5 posts across various communities wasn’t enough to get the word out?

Might be your Proton version you’re using. Different versions can sometimes result in different results.

Which Proton versions have you tried?

That looks amazing. I hope you’re proud of yourself!

What’s your next pizza toppings going to be?

Not good enough. The violation still exists in many shapes and forms.

This is a pathetic attempt to appease the legitimate concerns and is only going to last for a short while before they “close the loophole”.

Today’s compromise is tomorrow’s loophole.

As far as I last checked, yes, still possible in the US.

Stores like Walmart sell the phones and phone cards for prepaid service and all that can be paid with cash which doesn’t require ID.

If nothing else, you can buy a second hand phone from online places for meeting people or wherever and get a phone card for cash and neither doesn’t trace back to you either.

Of course this is likely because everywhere we go is covered by cameras so you’re never truly anonymous if someone is determined enough.

If you saw the show Better Call Saul, this is what Saul was doing when he sold phones to people from the shop he worked at.

So San Andreas…?

Plotting Samurai Champloo must be fun to track since it goes all over Japan.

Looks like he had a good life under your care. RIP

Yeah that tail wag looks annoyed to me. Looks like the cat is trying to remain calm and patient despite how he feels so he’s separating himself from everyone.

The only thing missing is the licking of the lips. I’ve noticed a few cats and dogs do that when they are uncomfortable and I feel like this cat may have done that too. It’s like a gulp and licking of the nose a few times, like 2-3 times. Could be breed dependent, though, but likely happened before this video was taken.

The move from laying on his belly to starting to lay on his side is a good sign he’s not too annoyed/angered and is calming down. Bellies are very vulnerable positions for both cats and dogs so for them to start to show it is a good sign they’re in a good mood/comfortable and not on edge. It’s a very slight change I see near the end of the video.

This could be because you followed him. He wanted space and he feels violated, for lack of a better term, because you’re following him when he wants to be alone.

I’d say just give him space and let him come back when he feels up to socializing again.

Miguel a real one ☝️

Agreed, that’s all I ever think about whenever I see those surfaces.

I had that in my last car, a Kia Niro, and it was so ugly and scratched and filled with fingerprints after just a month of owning it.

I don’t know why they insist on using that material.

I have the Nothing CMF Headphones and just got the Nothing Ear (3a) about 2 weeks ago.

I love the CMF Headphones. I have now gotten one of my coworkers to buy one of his own and we both went on a company trip together with them. The ANC is fantastic and was great for the airport and airplane for travel.

The 3a are great so far. I have an iPhone, so I have had some issues with it disconnecting and not wanting to reconnect. But overall I am enjoying them and they are good earbuds and produce good sounds.

I love the ability to connect to multiple devices at once on both headphones and quickly switching between devices. Like when I was in the airport, I’d be listening to my iPhone while walking and then sit and switch between my Macbook and Steam Deck using the Nothing app on my iPhone.

I used to have Beats Studio Buds+ and AirPods, but I was looking for something else and have been satisfied with both of these so far.

Downsides…the 3a earbuds don’t seem to have as good of a solid connection than other earbuds. I just feel like it doesn’t have a good enough fit in my ears than other earbuds. I’m also not a fan of the way they label the noise canceling as it was confusing and that made me realize the noise canceling is not that different when it comes to low or high. Adaptive does seem to work in adjusting, but not as good as the CMF headphones, but that’s for obvious reasons with a better cover over the ears.

The charging case is also sometimes difficult to open because it doesn’t have a great indent for your fingers and you need to use your fingernails. It’s not always, just sometimes and can be a bit frustrating. There’s also the downside of no wireless charging for some, but I’m okay without it. Updating is a bit weird because it needs to be in a specific way to begin and continue updating and I have to read the instructions each time to let them update. I think it was like putting them in the case and leaving it open, but it was just an odd way to have the update go and it wasn’t fully instructive the first time I did it so I kept trying different things until finally understanding what they meant to begin updating.

But overall, I’m happy with both of them and the Nothing app for iPhone. I can’t speak for Android, but my coworker has Android and seemed to like his experience overall and not have issues with his CMF Headphones.

They do! They have a strawberry one that doesn’t have frosting and it’s so much better, in my opinion.

Greed, greed is what happens on PS5.

I wonder why it needed a special road system. This seems like a great solution for difficult terrain like icy roads, in theory.

But I do wonder how it brakes itself, especially when it was thought to eventually reach speeds of 500 mph. Did it rely on flaps like an airplane?

Michio Kaku went into this on a video I can’t find anymore that I have been thinking a lot about.

He gave the analogy of an ant walking across a super highway built by humans for cars. The ant walks along this and has absolutely no idea that what it is walking on is an artificial manmade structure used for purposes the ant can’t even possibly fathom. What’s concrete? What’s a car? What is driving??

In this same way, aliens may be using technology that we just cannot fathom but may be right in front of us. Signals used on devices our minds can’t even dream up for centuries or millennia from now can pick these up but we cannot because we lack the fundamental understandings to access these same frequencies and utilizes these same devices.

It’d be like giving some guy in ancient Mesopotamia a walkie talkie and trying to talk to him. Not only does he not understand whatever language you speak of the modern day 2026, he wouldn’t even know that that’s you on the walkie talkie, that you are trying to talk to him, that he can and should use it to talk to you, or how to use this device.

I am utterly shocked. She was so young and her more recent life events described in the article are heartbreaking.

I loved her in Malcolm in the Middle and I Love You Beth Cooper.

Fixing bugs. But that’s asking too much.

I bought Skyrim so many different times and it’s amazing how the same bugs persist across so many versions. Literally did nothing when rereleasing on a new system. Like the Nintendo Switch port carried over bugs I had first experienced nearly a decade earlier when I played on Xbox 360 as my first time playing the game.

It’s unacceptable. These companies act like because we live in an age where patches can be released over the internet, that excuses their behavior.

Back when Morrowind was released, they didn’t have that luxury and had to release the game in as perfect of condition as they could or risk a bunch of angry gamers. Now they don’t care. And partly because we enable them by buying it in that state and not pushing back enough.

It’s just such a stupid premise but so funny.

Yeah but why risk it?

This is like asking “Is it alright if I leave my garage door open while I’m at work today? It’s detached from the rest of the house and I just store junk in there I don’t care to lose.” Yeah, I mean it’s detached from the house and let’s even say for argument’s sake, you live in a gated community. The risk is very low of someone actually breaking in and getting your valuable stuff inside your home. But by doing this, you’ve kind of invited people to come take a closer look at your house too. Someone decided to see what’s in your garage and didn’t see anything, but hey, looks like a bathroom window on the side of the house is cracked a bit. Could easily slide into the main house and take a peak in there. I would’ve never seen this from the sidewalk/city street until I got into the open garage.

Best case of a bad situation is that something gets into your XP computer and infects it. You don’t do much with it, so trashing it isn’t the worst possible thing to fix this issue. Worst case of a bad situation is you’ve infected that computer and now an infection is checking out the rest of your network and other devices on it including stuff you didn’t think of or stuff you thought couldn’t reach the web. You blocked your smart TV from accessing the web but left it connected to the router so it is still discoverable on the private network. Or you have a cheap Temu camera you got a while back and forget is still active and it’s sitting on your network with really poor security, easily vulnerable to attack.

I guess if you have that much faith in your network and devices, go for it, but probably not a good idea if you want the best possible defense.

If you really need something off the web to that XP machine, better to find a way to get it there like on a separate VLAN.
