Interesting, tell me more please. I presume it requires loading a different OS image as standard iPhone/android OS images will pause apps and attempt to go into a deep sleep after a long enough period?

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.

They just hide your submissions/comments beyond your 1000 most recent contributions from your profile. The contributions remain on the website. I’ve found the only method to find contributions beyond the 1000 limit was to Google it or use third party archive databases.

With the new change workarounds to find old contributions will not be needed.

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.

There are ass holes every where trying to ruin the fun for everything in life.

There is now Battleye in GTA online, 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?

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.

You clearly haven’t looked at either article. Parasocial relationships are weird.

Yes. I didn’t misspeak.

And Alec’s video is mostly a freeboot off someone’s article.

So this is a full on article and YouTube circle jerk.

Same SSDs are about 40% more expensive today than they were this time last year.

Comparing a person computer to another personal computer

Do you pay them any money to have the songs on the platforms?

If not, I wonder if they charge you a fee but only deduct their fee from your earnings. So if you don’t get plays then they don’t ask for money. And the break even point is at around 1 million plays. Just a theory of course; I’m sure it’s all stated in the fine print.

Based on your numbers, ~260k plays per dollar. The person in the submission would have to get ~2600 billion plays to get $10 million.

Something doesn’t seem right with those numbers.

There are people on forums doing the same thing as the person in the submission. 1 person with ~30 phones can generate about 15-20k streams in a day doing it manually.

I still use Lemmy and Reddit side by side. I find a lot of submissions and comments on Reddit downvoted, where they’re nothing burger contributions; some of the most non-divisive, non-offensive, and opinionless contributions I’ve come across.

I don’t recall this behaviour when I first started using Reddit about 10 years ago. It makes me wonder if the world has become a lot more bitter in recent years since this type of behaviour is seen across platforms.
