I can't remember what the exact issue was that was produced by those steps. I want to say it was some sort of visual bug where parts of the page wouldn't load. I do know that it only happened if you toggled Bluetooth within seconds of flipping the pages so many times. I honestly have no idea why the user decided to change pages so many times. You could take a little bit of time changing the pages, so maybe they kept viewing a page and backed out only to want to view the page again?
User reported bugs can be wild. I had one where the user was tapping a button repeatedly so fast that the UI was not keeping up with the code and would no longer sync certain values properly. I'm talking like tap the button 15 times in a second. Another issue involved flipping back and forth between the same page like 10 times then turn the device Bluetooth off and immediately back on.
I worked on a project that had a few spots where we compare a saved timestamp to the current time. During testing, the client would randomly change their device time a few days forward or backward and complain that things weren't working as expected. I had to explain to them multiple times that they were basically time traveling, and the program was actually handling it fairly well all things considered.
I would say it's a bit more nuanced than that. I have installed quite a few games on my Deck that have had serious issues that require their own unique fixes in order to work. I had a few games that had shader issues with flashing neon textures that required specific Proton versions to work, a few games that could never get past the main menu due to infinite loading that required reinstalls and using specific Proton versions, and one that required adding some additional commands on the startup in order to avoid crashes. I've also run into a few games where the Deck has quirks, such as one I played where the keyboard would cover the game's text input and the keyboard would appear immediately after closing, which meant you could hardly read what you were entering text for. They do work eventually, so you are technically correct, but they require effort to fix that some people will not feel comfortable doing.
I have some football cards at my parents house that are in the same boat. Maybe take a look through them to try to estimate prices and protect the expensive ones. IDK about Marvel cards, but I know there are apps for some other trading cards where you can just scan a picture of the card and get an estimated price based on recent sales.
That's a cool set! I am currently trying to sell a few retired sets (mostly Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Bionicle) and some surprise me in value. A few are about the price they originally cost, while others have tripled in value.
All cool collections! I have a few Funkos worth around $100 but probably wouldn't sell them unless I needed to. Besides the LEGO Bilbo I mentioned in the description, I bought the Rivendell set towards the end of last year. I would like some of the old LotR or Hobbit sets, but they get pretty pricey.
I've seen that before! I got a Halo 3 Master Chief Funko bobblehead from my local Blockbuster when they were closing. He is sitting on my desk next to my gaming PC right now with my Atlas and P-Body Funko Pops from Portal 2. My Master Chief has gone up in price, but not nearly as expensive as yours seems to be.
What do you use the servers for, if you don't mind me asking? I've been considering setting something basic up for some additional file storage or local media streaming and am always curious what others use their setups for.
I used to work IT for a while and we had one guy who would pick up all our old hardware from clients. A lot of it was still functioning well, but the clients got new tech and wanted us to just wipe the drives and get rid of it. The guy would sort through it, keep some of the stuff that was functioning either for himself or to sell and would strip the rest for materials.
As the other commenter said, I figured I would post it in both communities to get more responses from people who may not be a part of both. I'm not sure if that is what I should be doing (still fairly new to Lemmy), but I thought I'd give it a try.
That's an interesting way to get something worth so much. Is the painting tied to the religion in any way, or did the church just give out random paintings it happened to own?
That's awesome! The guitars look really nice in your picture. Is there anything special specifically with those guitars that make the value so high, or are they just rare and collectible?
That's really cool. I never knew anyone made them as stone blocks. Do they still hold that value, or have they gone down after they started getting produced again?
I hope you and your wife are doing better now! I collected Pops for a while (mostly just characters that I liked) and got a few expensive ones, but nowhere near that price tag.
I walked into a used game store a year or two ago and saw the price of older Pokemon games and cried a little on the inside. I had a lot of the older games when I was younger that I sold to buy new games. I had Red as the earliest and stopped playing Pokemon after Diamond, so quite a few of the games in that timeframe. I unfortunately sold them before those games had such high price tags, but I never would have anticipated that when I sold them.
