YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads
  • Apparently a hot take, but I don't have an issue with this, as long as they're picture ads, not videos. An option to hide them temporarily would be good if you're trying to read something. Maybe you'd need to hold a key or something. To me this is much less intrusive than 3 videos ads at the beginning of a video.

    All of that said, I pay for premium, as I watch enough YouTube for it to be very very justified. I've probably saved weeks of my time not watching ads, plus it supports creators more than the ads ever do.

  • I have never come across a cache that requires a magnet on a stick.

    I have a pen on my keys. The one I have is extendable so it's comfortable to write with. It has saved my ass so many times from having to walk back to the car or buy more pens at a convince store.

    This isn't the exact one I purchased, but it looks identical: https://a.co/d/0DV73WM

  • Questions about the safety of Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' system are growing
  • There was an story a while back where it was discovered that Tesla focuses their efforts on the routes taken by creators (and other influencial people), to intentionally make self driving look better than it is.

  • What are some video games that you would show up to a local tournament for?
  • Me? None. I just play for fun, I'd lose bad.

    If there was going to be a game I'd show up for it'd be Forza Horizon, I've got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven't been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.

  • You can set text as a modifier in Orca
  • It isn't that bad. Just needs a bit of z-offset adjustment. Your comment isn't helpful as it's just an insult, not constructive criticism. Tell OP what they need to change to make their first layer not bad, don't just tell them it sucks.

  • [PSA] The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
  • Ahh, yeah, I'd guess the ecosystem isn't that large yet, as updates roll out to Android devices n such. I haven't really tested mine in the real world yet. I've been meaning to.

    One time I got a notification that someone was tracking me with a tracker. It was my own wallet that is registered to my account lol.

  • [PSA] The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
  • Yeah, it's cool that Google has finally got their shit together with that. What's fascinating is that Google and Apple worked together to provide cross device notifications if an Air tag is following an Android or a Google FindMy tracker is following an iPhone.

  • Fun to find an interesting use case for the MCM in the form of my on-the-go Aeropress caddy

    The MCM arch holds the grinder handle in place which keeps it from flopping around, and keeps the grinder in the caddy. It's a really clean and easy solution for this unique problem.

    I talk more about the caddy in this video if you're interested - Timestamped Link

    On Friday a video will be out where I talk more about the final version (shown in the video attached to this post), but the function is quite similar, just with the correct measurements because measuring is hard...

    I would be happy to share the STL, but I haven't yet as I figure not too many folks have the exact same aeropress setup as I do with the scale and grinder, and I'm lazy (but honest at least!)

    My GTAO Solo "Grind" Routine - Am I missing anything?

    I got back into GTA Online about a week ago and wanted to know what the best grind for someone wanting to have fun and make money efficiently was. I already had everything unlocked except for the new salvage yard, which I now have, but am waiting until I upgrade it to add it to the rotation. When I started playing again, I came across this comment on reddit which I started with. After playing for a week, I've modified it beyond recognition to look like this:

    • At Login
      • Spin the Lucky Wheel

    • Hangar
      • Buy Air Freight Cargo
      • Sell Air Freight Cargo (if full)
    • Bunker (if out of supplies - as noted earlier)
      • Resupply
      • Sell to LS
    • Security Contract via Franklin
      • Until 20k/day in the safe, then change to payphone hit or security
    • Office
      • Mixed Good Supply Mission from the Front Desk
    • Warehouse 4,3,1,2
      • Buy
      • Sell if full
    • Autoshop
      • Modify Car, Staff deliver
    • Acid supply
      • Buy
      • Activate Speed Bonus
      • Sell if full
      • Work for Dax (if allowed)
        • Until unlock of acid lab upgrade, then remove this, these jobs fucking suck
    • Arcade
      • Safe
      • Master Terminal | Bunker
        • Note if sale is needed (out of supplies)
      • Master Terminal | Nightclub
        • Redistribute Staff if Needed
        • Note if sale is needed due to any staff being idle
      • Master Terminal | Vehicle Cargo
        • Steal Car
        • Sell Car
    • Warehouse 5
      • Buy
      • Sell if full
    • Agency
      • Safe (if near full)
    • Nightclub
      • Enter as passive (guarantees a quick kick-out)
      • Do the quick kick-out
      • Safe (if near full)
      • Sell if any staff are idle (as noted earlier)

    • Things to mix in
      • Cayo-Perico Hiest
      • Autoshop Robbery
      • CEO VIP work
      • I almost always check out the random blue dots

    This order works really well for me, due to the location of my warehouses and businesses on the map, so it'll need to be optimized for wherever your stuff is. I'm really happy with the flow for me, especially with how I positioned my warehouses and how the Mixed Goods mission lines me up to hit most of them in a row.

    All that said, am I missing out on anything profitable or fun that I should add into the rotation? Could I make it more efficient? Should I add anything from the salvage yard when I get it upgraded? Do you have any questions for me?

    Thanks for taking a look!

    First multiplayer impromptu SteamDeck session.

    I'm at a friend's house for the night and was invited to an among us group. Installed among us and discord, had everything working (after a restart) within 10 minutes. I was shocked that simply adding a keybind for mute/deafen just worked. Yet another "it's just a computer" moment. I'll have to get that discord overlay thing working at some point.

    In addition, the mic seems to work pretty well without using headphones, though I can't hear myself obviously.

    I wasn't considering upgrading to the OLED because I didn't use the device enough, but man, I might...

    Is quick reply missing?

    I'm moving over from boost for reddit, and am missing the quick reply functionality. Am I just missing it, is it actually missing, and is it planned?

    Loving the app so far, it's made the transition easy.
