Noob question, how’s the lag? Playing games like Sekiro for example locally on my desktop, I can’t even use a shitty controller as it comes with high latency. I imagine a solution with a game hosted in a remote server would even suffer more than just a laggy controller.
DOT Announces Rule Requiring Automatic Refunds of Airline Tickets and Service Fees for flights that are canceled or delayed more than 3 hours domestically and 6 hours internationally
It is, but after spending like 5 hours arguing with different customer service reps about it I decided that it wasn’t worth my time. The company went out of business later anyways.
Cash or original form of payment: Airlines and ticket agents must provide refunds in cash or whatever original payment method the individual used to make the purchase, such as credit card or airline miles. Airlines may not substitute vouchers, travel credits, or other forms of compensation unless the passenger affirmatively chooses to accept alternative compensation.
OK, we're going to roll into April with #RomanceReviews 15. As (hopefully) a delightful little palate cleanser, I'm reading When Grumpy Met Sunshine by Charlotte Stein.
This is possibly my favorite trope of all time, so that title is a lot to live up to. I'm expecting this to be a straight romance between a curvy woman writer and a grumpy former soccer player. The preview is giving me "Talia Hibbert but white" vibes, and it looks like Talia herself gave it a positive quote, so we'll see how that goes.
@RomanceReviews@romancelandia when he is reported to have defended her at a bar after a paparazzi photo of him holding her hand getting in to his car and he concludes, “the only solution is we fake date” that’s gold, I laughed so hard
How are they unrepairable yourself? Are there not people online selling boards for them? Most of the time all you have to do is replace the power board or image board or one of the others if a TV dies. $100 and you gotta new TV. Is that not a thing for Vizio TVs?
As per iFixit and other sites like tvserviceparts, it depends on the Vizio model. Mainstream models you can often replace the screen and even power input board, others you simply cannot without sourcing their brand though.
Another day, another product joining the Google graveyard. On the upside, this time it's not a messaging app.
From The Verge:
"You might remember Google had a $5,000 Jamboard whiteboarding meeting room display — well, that’s also discontinued. The Jamboard hardware will no longer receive software updates on September 30th, 2024, and its license subscriptions will expire the same day.
"Then users will have until December 31st, 2024, to back up Jam their files, and on that date, Google will cut off access and begin permanently deleting files."
Pity the schools, universities, and businesses that paid Google $5000 for a "smart" whiteboard, only to now be told their files will be deleted.
I’m okay with any delays as long as it doesn’t release in a totally fucked state. I have huge respect for the Devs, dealing with the Ukraine invasion and also building a game
Greetings festive fellowship of the fediverse, it's the second day of the #SteamNextFest , and there are still many games to discover and discuss, let's share our mutual discoveries of today
@shiri@LALegault@fishidwardrobe no one is speaking for all autistic people. That includes both you and I. If you somehow manage to deduce the intention by the original post, congratulations. I didn't. Looking for clues, I saw her posts with jokes and sarcasm about a topic, which was later directed at autistic 'experts' to explain. Then I tried to explain the relevant hashtags. If that's insulting and needing to screw off, I don't need to engage further. More context: https://hachyderm.io/@gaveen/112507224443372355
@gaveen honestly the bulk of your responses were fine, you're biggest case of stepping in it was the phrase "asking for basic decency" as @LALegault put it implied they were not being decent.
Then @fishidwardrobe and hard escalated and you got roped in with that.
I apologize, I wouldn't have been as harsh if it had just been your responses especially as you ended on "use your own judgement" (honestly, probably wouldn't have said anything at all at that point), so it was unfair of me to position you as a problem there.
@usernamefactory@startrek I don't know if I agree with that premise. I've run into any number of people who became Trek fans in general by starting with Kelvin.
That said, I don't know that breaking the movies into more timelines is a great idea.
And I personally would be skeptical that anything from the proposed movies would ever turn into a TV series. They are really operating in separate spaces right now. And P+ is shedding series faster than they're adding them.
Now that I’ve thought about it some more, it’s unlikely the movies would be making any decisions based off of what’s best for the streaming shows. That would probably be seen as the tail wagging the dog.
That said, I’ve definitely encountered people who enjoyed the films but skipped the shows on account of not knowing where to start and finding the relationship too confusing. It would make sense to pair a successful “early days” movie with an “early days” spinoff series to lure some of that casual audience to streaming.
