Reddit rewards people who know how to repost or start flame wars, with their karma points. This can also optimize for low-effort content. I wouldn't be surprised if certain subreddits could be entirely replaced with bots, automatically

As soon as I registered my account, the comment sections seemed to hold less importance/meaningful content. Perhaps because I started paying more attention to them? It's a small thing, but I'm working on making myself read le

Thanks for the tips! As for Windows acting strange, I've heard that it can have something to do with 'fast boot' settings on the motherboard BIOS. Not sure if you've checked that already. Have you ever seen Windows muck

Key phrase, "when they're done right" :) GMaps is good when I'm using it for navigation, but exploration is clearly not its intent, which is probably why I take so much issue with it. My utility company seems to use an S

Have you been dual-booting? What's your experience been like, generally? I built my current desktop something like 5+ years ago, and have been thinking about building something new, with Windows kept as a second fiddle for when the few

I worked part-time at a gas station many years ago. When the chores were done, I'd often be reading the newspapers, or straightening things out, and I'd inevitably end up reading the labels of snacks and drinks and such. Eventuall

IMO, some of Kailh's clickbar switches are a better bet than Cherry's click jacket ones. They also tend to be cheaper! Box Jade is relatively soft to press with a sharp tactile event, Box Whites are softer still, and Box Navies ar

Dancer of the Boreal Valley would like a word with you. While the strategy could be oversimplified to 'hit hit run', it misses the nuance of learning how to apply that strategy to a given boss. I ended up clocking over 600 hours o

First off, you've done useful and valid work. Not that you should need me to say it, but I'll throw some kudos. Explaining that it's not possible to actually 'cash out' would be great, and that would probably help d

I've got a band-aid on my middle finger due to my cat disagreeing about when to stop touching the belly. I can barely feel my laptop keys with it on, but I can still feel enough of of the detents in my mouse's scroll wheel! Do you

Reading this made me confused. You have a 'hire me' link on a page where you talk about exploiting someone's app? If you're not writing this up like a white hat, isn't the article counterproductive to you? I can und

It really depends on the other players. I try to make sure that I only communicate neutral-to-positive stuff in a game's voice chat. Stuff that's generally relevant to the situation at hand. Insulting randoms is done in Discord, w

So then, I need to pre-auth my typing styles depending on how I expect to type? It isn't much of a stretch for me to think of 4 scenarios: 1. Laptop keyboard, 2 hands 2. Laptop, 1 hand 3. External keyboard (let's pretend I'm

Turning over a room (to make it habitable for a next guest) costs wages, and that's just the bare minimum cost that I can think of. There are probably a dozen hidden costs associated with allowing someone to stay in a room.

So then, I need to type the same password the same way every time? If I set up an account while I'm still waking up, and then try to use it after lunch and coffee, wouldn't I get locked out due to inputting faster than expected? O

It sounds like the kind of game I'd like to watch other people play, with how big and expensive everything seems. Why would I want to spend $1k and wait to be bad at the game, when I can instead watch someone else who spent $10k and do

This sounds super cool! I was (mentally) toying around with an idea like this a few weeks back, maybe this'll teach me something.

Keep in mind that the Souls RCE exploit was unknown for many years, and the modding community rallied to get it to FromSoft's attention. The modding community maintains its own 'anti-cheat' system called Blue Sentinel, which

Different types of game can provide different effects. I don't play anything that's too competitive anymore, as I don't have as much practice time available. I also find solo/cooperative experiences to be more friendly,

I don't think I've ever noticed this effect. At least, not in the way people lead me to believe it should be felt? When I get to the gym and throw some iron around, my 'good feels' come from knowing that I got out and go

It looks like that isn't available for those in the US, since the redirect takes me to a 'not available' page. Are the 'Signature Edition' versions at all available in the US?

Most of the 'financial' reporting on crypto is nonsense, and imo, is just grasping at straws, or some kind of puff piece. To some confident people, this is just a flash sale.

Keyboards that cost over $100 tend to be much, much nicer, and are more easily tailored to an individual's taste. Around $200 and above, most are machined from aluminum, and require the user to supply their own switches and keycaps. My
