I have a few Kingston DTEG2. They all perform like the Crucial and the Samsung.

I've tried many SanDisk since that's all they sell in the brick and mortar stores near me and they're all trash.

Yeah exactly

I have a second SIM that I use for situations where I don't want to give out my real number.

It's a traditional PAYG SIM where I pay for a tiny bit of credit and it lasts until I use it. I need to make a billable once every few months to keep it active. So I just text myself once every couple of months. The $10 I put on it will last a few years before I need to top it up. Or I could just 'burn' it and get a new one.

There's really only one reason for Rockstar to release Grand Theft Auto 6 later on PC in c/[email protected]

The grind is a state of mind in my opinion. Are you playing the game because you enjoy it, or just so you can say you have everything and completed all aspects of the game? For me, thinking the game as a grind is only true for the latter.

I have everything in GTA online, but I've also got about ~4000 hours on it. There are only a few in game assets that add an improvement to the gameplay; everything else is meaningless.

The bit they said about being instantly killed and hunted wasn't true even before the Battleye update.

There are still modders on the game after the Battleye update but there is significantly fewer.

Sure you get ass holes in game, but you get ass holes in everything in life.

I've only had that once or twice.

I currently have ~4000 hours on the game. Only 100-200 of them is in story mode.

There is now Battleye, which has significantly reduced the number of modders, but it requires you to be comfortable with a kernel level anti cheat running on your system.

That's not true for every public lobby. You can play online by yourself, or just your friends if you don't want to be in a public lobby. And some modders are quite funny with it.

I'm speaking from a place where I currently have ~4000 hours on the game. Only 100-200 of them is in story mode.

Why do you believe online is unplayable?

Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. I still use Reddit via the website. I think Reddit is also in a negative place at the moment too. It seems that most things I see these days are negatively voted, or Reddit's algorithm has changed and it mostly shows me negatively voted content in my feed.

Elon Musk accused of copying designs by I, Robot director in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's because he called the event 'We, Robot'. So it's fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla's humanoids and the robots within the movie.

Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency in c/[email protected]

I was thinking about disabling explorer from running or at least kill it at boot up. And then using an alternative file explorer and task bar.

Is shadow banning submissions/comments/users a thing on Lemmy? (lemm.ee)
 

Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?

I'm having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven't deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.

Bots copy pasting Reddit - is there a method to block them all? (lemm.ee)
 

I've noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?

I assume they mean good by 'generating' content in communities, but I don't see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.

I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I'd just prefer to block them all so I don't see their content at all.

They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?
