Haha, I'm not even partway into picking a game engine. I was going to try out Unity but then the whole "bought by adtech" thing happened.

The originals look like malformed mutants at 256x256 with nonsensical key bits and strange twisted handles.

Note that this does not replace a good pixel art artist either - for things like walls, anything that needs to connect together or tile like a dungeon wall or castle, or a cohesive art style, this will not do. But for rapidly identifiable different quest item drops it's not terrible.

I'm actually somewhat curious how much of an impact this will actually have - I think I've only seen a 5 GB+ repo once or twice and they were not really source code, but mildly "abusing" github CDN/releases for downloads.

At least gitlab is not deleting any data, just rejecting pushes if you're over the limit.

I'm working on an indie game and I get surprisingly decent results if I ask for a basic object (think 300 mutations of a key or book) and downsample it to the 48x48 sprite sheet size. They look weird as hell at normal resolution but as pixel art with specific resize sampling methods it's a lot less weird, and good for rapid prototyping.

> they ship their brand new Pinebook Pro with outdated distro

Honestly, it was probably physically built months ago. Shipping takes like a year.

> to install Manjaro Plasma as the default OS

This is custom SOC that Manjaro's community specifically built out support for, including PinePhone too. Other distros don't really do this, and PINE do give back to Manjaro for it.

> to put the switch inside

I have very serious difficulty trying to figure out what the problem is with putting a switch that controls eMMC next to the eMMC board. Which is a hardware board that is attached to the SOC, not an external or hotswappable drive. I don't think this is unreasonable?

> It's not about my comfort - I don't want to have to unscrew the brand new laptop on day 1!

The PINE store warns on nearly every single page in large red text that this is not for non-tinkerers. And explicitly tells you to not order if you want something right out of the box.

I understand that you want a laptop, but this is very much not a "laptop that I can just throw linux and use a browser" on. For that get a thinkpad or something.

"We make no profit from selling these units. If you think that a minor dissatisfaction, such as a dead pixel, will prompt you to file a PayPal dispute then please do not purchase the Pinebook. Thank you."

"Please do not order the Pinebook Pro if you’re seeking a substitute for your X86 laptop, or are just curious"

"These pre-orders are meant for enthusiasts familiar with the Arm architecture and interested in the PineBook Pro for this specific reason"

There are recovery methods, I would expect to be using a screwdriver on the first day with anything from the Pine store, tbh.

The error in Tutanota's screenshot implies that someone has added this domain as some form of AD or organisation instead of a personal email. It's not a "your domain is banned" message, it's a "contact your tutanota.com organisation's admin to have them create an enterprise 365 account for you"

I don't want this with an American company either. Local only.

> and the amount of rage generated when a professor on sabbatical had to come back to campus just to reset their password was a sight to see.

My personal experience is that these people are the most likely to have a dozen degrees and also a high success rate of being phished.

This might be part of the reason, if OP's account was actually compromised, they signed up this month and got their first abuse report less than half a month after, the type of customer hetzner does not want in general...

well yes.. they don't want your business.

alibaba.com, message seller with "i need 10000 pcs with my logo"

numerous third party trackers on a medical site are the first thing i hate.

I'd be curious too but vapes would have to never exist in the first place probably. None have moved on to smoking, and 100% of my group finds smoking to be gross/smelly/etc "will never, that's disgusting", including the ones that have had a vape since they were 12.

I'm close to ~half your age, and every vaper I know started vaping from clean-slate. Absolutely zero of them were ex-smokers or have ever touched a cigarette. I honestly cannot name a single ex-smoker in my circle or a degree or two removed - all of them started vaping to vape. Almost all of them started before 18.

I don't know of a single person using it as a cessation device. Anecdotal, of course, but still, didn't expect such big of a difference compared to your post.

You forgot "ISPs customers don't trust the ISP" because the ISP is selling their DNS info, what's being resolved, returning false ad-filled spam instead of a nxdomain...

ive seen a few only allow their resolver to be used to resolve specific A records, like just enough to pay/check out.

Faked requests for situations like this are routinely and frequently used for harassment/attempted murder in gaming. Unless this is solvable, this is rather problematic and dangerous.

Most of these check the certificate chain, and I've seen a few also upload fingerprints of certs that are rare or not seen before.

I can't help but feel like Fall Guys was not the ideal example given just how comically vulnerable it was, it trusted the client for so much instead of running calculations server side you could just tell the server you're at the finish line and disqualify everyone else.

Same - I get an absolutely comedic amount of abuse from M247.

This looks like a random SEO spamblog-equivalent site. It sources another site, numbeo, that also is more or less unidentified and says it polls random site visitors?

I have actually seen this multiple times - a very common thing, at least in the US, is using gift card magstripes for cloning stolen card track data onto.

This is mostly irrelevant in countries that use chip and pin.

My physical cards are separately labeled on every crap BIN site as corp or personal and the card type.

If I generate a one time use card from enterprise account, it shows up as PERSONAL CREDIT GOLD, interestingly.

What real world patterns though?

Your traffic, stats, and bounce rates, returning customer rates will vary practically 100% depending on:

- If you sell a good physical product

- If you dropship utter rubbish and advertise on Instagram spam stories where people buy a single thing and never come back or chargeback instead

- Digital items for games for adults

- Digital items for games for kids

The lack of spaces is somewhat normal if you assume that chinese doesn't use spaces when writing, like a name is just the glyphs combined together in one word, while in English normally there is a space between F+L.

This is pretty much it. People always say it's random mess or fake, but "youxian gongsi" is literally "limited company" and based on Shenzhen. I do a lot of hardware ordering and speak none of the language and picked this up over time.

Chinese company names are generally [location] [selected name] [what they do], like Baidu is Beijing + Baidu + Netcom Science Technology.

The transliteration in the tweet: "shenzhenshizhengshunzidianziyouxiangongsi"

Shenzhen-shi (city), Dianzi (electronics), youxian (limited), gongsi (company)

"wu long da sha b dong" seems like it's Five Dragons Building (https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.... ;some kind of office park?), Building B, and a suite number. The first line is something like "Longhuan 1st Road, Jinglong Community, Longhua Street, Longhua District".

It just looks like a mess because people are not used to it, and in chinese writing you don't separate the characters - it's "有限公司" for limited company, not "有限 公司"

I wonder if there are shenanigans involving whether you're paying with a credit card with credit and a bank account that they might not be able to preauth. Has OVH phone support been of any use?

At least for US paypal I logged in and clicked support and was given a (custom?) phone number to call from my registered number to the account, US based human answered within a minute and asked for the temporary code on the screen.
