I might just buy one of their games now to support their decision.

I just don't know how much I can trust them to keep their word and not just brick the game in the future until an account is made.

Because new items can still use old technologies if it makes more sense to do so?

A 2025 vehicle with a manual radio sold for $30,000 might still sell better than a 2020 vehicle with a touchscreen dash for $25,000

Another Canadian with the same sentiment.

I feel like the sane world needs to make a global Alliance where if America tarriffs any country in the membership, everyone else responds with similar tarriffs.

America needs to learn that it isn't alone in the world and it can't survive in its current state without friends.

Poor Columbia having to give in to America's demands over coffee, if they had an alliance with other countries maybe they could have said fuck you Trump.

Damn, now I've got to buy a $200 freezer to save $10 on spaghetti sauce.

Do you know how many tomatos are required to make sauce? SO MANY

Really? As a Canadian I was quite surprised to see your eggs so expensive.

I recently bought a dozen eggs for like $7cad which used to be $6cad (free range, the caged stuff was usually like $3.5-$4ish)

But at $5.50 usd that's $8.00 cad, and I thought $7 was expensive!

Very hidden. It took me awhile to find them since I never had to press that button before if it even was there before.

Not sure why they didn't just keep the Mewtwo pack on the landing page and then add the dialga one, and when you press the dialga one it gives the option between the dialga and the other, like the Mewtwo gave the charizard and Pikachu options afterwards.

Good, there is absolutely no reason anyone should trust any corporation. They will screw you over at the flip of a dime if it meant they got to keep that dime.

I think Canada may only let us states join if they agree they don't get to vote in elections. Americans have proved they can't be trusted with that power.

Does this mean the Pikachu/charizard/Mewtwo packs are no longer available?

America will take Greenland, and then Canada is next being surrounded on three sides.

Can a NATO country invoke the defence pact if it's attacked by another NATO country?

NATO vs America wasn't on my bingo card.

Wonder Picks - Scam? (self.pokemonTCGM)
 

Maybe I am just incredibly unlucky but I feel like the wonder picks is 100% rigged.

One would assume that with 5 cards to pick you have a 20% chance to get the card you want. Unless it has hidden mechanics where the rarer the card, the more unlikely it is you are to get it, which should be stated somewhere, I am under the assumption that it should be equal chance for any card shown especially since you already use more resources to choose the wonder pick options which have rarer cards.

I have probably done at least 50+ wonder picks over the past few weeks and literally only once have I gotten the card I chose the pick to try and get.

That's a less than 2% chance, not a 20% chance. In fact, It seems to specifically give you the worst card out of the lot the majority of the time. Like a pidgey or something.

Just venting, as it's legalized gambling targeted towards children through video games as well and I actually quite despise it despite it being one of the only ways to get specific cards at the moment.

 
 
 

My PC constantly freezes if I'm not playing a game or have a game running.

✅ If I'm playing a game, it's fine.

✅ If I have a game running in the background while doing other stuff, it's fine.

❌ If I leave my PC while playing a game and the lock screen pops up, it will freeze.

❌ If I do anything other than gaming, such as browsing the web or digital art, PC will freeze.

❌ If PC goes to sleep overnight, it will freeze.

The frozen PC will typically show no error code and display will show "no input" until I hard reset.

If I hard reset, it often won't successfully turn back on unless I move the mouse while it's resetting, otherwise it will freeze again on the windows loading screen.

Sometimes I will actually get a blue screen with the error code of DPC_Watchdog_Error or something like that.

Anyone know where I should look first to try and fix this? It's been happening for weeks now and it's driving me crazy. I can't figure it out.

 

Just bought a ROG STRIX 850w PSU and it came with this monstrosity of a cable that I've never seen before.

The two ends are entwined between eachother in a way that you can't un-entangle without popping an end piece off

Is this an actual real cable design or is it mis-manufactured? It offends my sensibilities.

Data Newbie Looking for Advice (self.data_engineering)
 

Hello,

I am looking for some advice to help me out at my job. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.

So, basically my boss is a complete technophobe and all of our data is stored across multiple excel files in drop box and I'm looking for a way to change that into a centralized database. I know my way around a computer but writing code is not something I have ever been able to grasp well.

The main issue with our situation is that our workers are all completely remote, and no I don't mean work from home in the suburbs from a home office. They use little laptops with no data connection and go out gathering data every day from a variety of locations, sometimes not even cell coverage.

We need up to 20 people entering data all day long and then updating a centralized database at the end of the day when they get back home and have internet connection. It will generally all be new entries, no one will need to be updating old entries.

It would be nice to have some sort of data entry form in drop box and a centralized database on our local server at head office which pulls the data at the end of each day. Field workers would also need access to certain data such as addresses, contact info, maps, photos, historical data, etc. but not all of it. For example the worker in City A only needs access to the historical data from records in and around City A, and workers in City B only need access to records involving City B.

Is there any recommended options for software which can achieve this? It needs to be relatively user friendly and simple as our workers are typically biology oriented summer students, not programmers.

What companies will you never give another dollar to?

What happened that put them on your blacklist?

 

Just trying to check "unread messages" despite no notifications indicating there are some, just to refresh the inbox and make sure there's nothing in limbo before notifications appear (not sure how the technicalities work).

If there are no new messages the app crashes. Can make it crash multiple times in a row. Works fine if there is a notification and unread messages present.
