TORFdot0 , to games in MODERN WARFARE: How Call of Duty 4 Changed a Genre Forever

The RPG mechanics didn’t ruin the genre although I did prefer the mechanics of earlier CoDs where in multiplayer everything is unlocked and you just use whatever you want.

What ruined the genre was the free-to-play style monetization and season pass paid update model.

Black Ops 2 was the first CoD to have paid skins, but we would have no idea how bad things would become. By the time Fortnite came along the multiplayer FPS genre was already long ruined

TORFdot0 , to technology in Uncovering Every Lie in MKBHD's Softball Interview; a scathing critique of 'brand safe' influencers

I really don’t think large brands like Apple have that many paid shills. Apple has a large fan base and good marketing. People that like their devices just naturally repeat the marketing line because they don’t really know why they like the devices, Apple marketing just told them that is why it is good. And fanatics will spend mental energy defending them for no good reason

Lemmy and the fediverse have sizable Apple communities and Apple is definitely not paying anyone to shill here

TORFdot0 , to technology in Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims

If it’s $5 and some random assortments of letters for a brand name you might as well just light your money on fire whether you order from temu or amazon or Walmart for that matter

TORFdot0 , to technology in Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims

Someone else posted this report in this thread which does a good job of the deceptive practices and API calls the app uses to trick the user into giving permissions up willingly and otherwise collect data it shouldn’t.

It states that it’s somehow breaking the permissions sandbox by dynamically recompiling code after the app is opened. Unless there is some undisclosed exploit that it’s using to break the sandbox, it’s outside most people’s understanding of how these platforms work

TORFdot0 , to technology in Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max WiFi 7 Access Point Teardown: To fan or not to fan

It’s not really documented anywhere officially. I’ve found the knowledge over the years from searching the ubnt forums. But I stopped using unifi equipment a few years ago for similar reasons.

This forum thread is probably the best starting point I can give you but configuring unifi APs via ssh for any reason other than maybe a botched IP configuration is a bad idea

TORFdot0 , to technology in Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max WiFi 7 Access Point Teardown: To fan or not to fan

You can configure them independently of a controller by ssh but the config will be lost on a reboot or when the device next polls the controller

Edit: and apparently someone else has said you can use the app to configure them without a controller at all

TORFdot0 , to technology in Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2

If they can’t get the headset to fit the size and weight of swimming goggles, I don’t think it can get mass adoption

TORFdot0 , to programmerhumor in Overflow

It’s definitely the smaller viewports that give the most trouble, and as I am a stubborn mini phone user, I make sure that my projects are responsive to smaller screen sizes.

The other part is that I’m not a front end dev, so these are just my personal projects and I don’t know all the hacks to really optimize layouts on smaller screen sizes.

Neat, just what I would expect from user @cumskin_genocide

TORFdot0 , to technology in Why you like Apple?

Apple TV is the only set top box that doesn’t show you ads and sell your watch data up and down a river. The battery life on Apple silicon laptops are unmatched and it’s a better OS than windows by far and the big desktop environment packages on Linux don’t match it either (It also doesn’t feel right not just using terminal/bash on Linux for me either, GUIs are overrated)

Lastly I feel better about my data privacy using the full Apple ecosystem compared to using Google’s full ecosystem. (But will admit using an open source rom focused on privacy and disconnect from any cloud service would be the most effective, I do want some level of convenience )

TORFdot0 , to technology in Why you like Apple?

The half-price laptops have 1/4th the battery life of an m1 which is the other reason OP likes it

TORFdot0 , to programmerhumor in Overflow

At first glance the rules seem to make sense and be straightforward until you start dabbling into screen size responsiveness and display and layout rules and then you get into questions like “what the hell is flex box and how is it different from flex. Why is this element randomly wrapping, selector specificity is joke and everything’s made up and the rules don’t matter.

I don’t hate you Bobby

TORFdot0 , to programmerhumor in Overflow

CSS was designed by someone truly deranged. I hate front end so much
