Don’t use the “all” feed. I only use it to discover new communities (but there is also a specific community for that).

For my daily browsing I exclusively use the “subscribed” feed.

Edit: the community I mentioned is https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world or !newcommunities@lemmy.world

I always remind myself to do this… Interesting post but no comments? Just add the first comment and a conversation will start - for me at least, there was always somebody commenting.

I swear I got a nice and clean shot of Nessie… but unfortunately my camera fell into the water… such a bummer!

And once again, the weakest link in the security chain are humans…

Some people are really disgusting and simply don’t care about others… it’s a shame, really and that’s the reasons we can’t have nice things.

Not too surprised tbh.

But what will happen to the console market in 10 years? Does it shift to a subscription model and you choose games via your TV and everything is streamed?

But I’m glad CoD will still be around - at least some constant I can rely on haha

I know were you are coming from and I know a few people who have a clock in the room and sleep… but I just can’t… the rhythmic ticking drives me crazy haha

podcast or audio books are my go to - sometimes I’m stuck on the same chapter for weeks

For me it’s Dark World Theme - Zelda ALTTP (SNES) and Big Blue - F-Zero (SNES).

And in general the Zelda OST.

surprised pikachu face - who would’ve thought?

There really got me with this one… I was soooo excited for some F-Zero news… the music… the pixel look… then a shift to HD graphics and the a announcement of a new game… oh wait this was in my head!

Instead we got a battle royale.

Don’t get me wrong, I still take it and play it… but this was really brutal. :(

Unfortunately, as far as I understand it, not really. NSO and for sure many other companies offering similar spy software use multiple 0-day exploits to get into your device.

At least for the Pegasus one, a system restart seems to do the trick in removing it in most cases, although there are some reports on surviving even a factory reset on some phones…

The other question is, if you are not a person of interest like a high-ranking politician or journalist, you are most likely not going to be a target of an attack. On the other hand, you never know… and that’s the really scary part.

I was indeed blaming the end users. Yes, the bluetooth off thing on apple devices is super annoying and I don’t know why they still force it…

Bluetooth is off, so maybe the notification is legit from apple and needs authority for a connection? The thing is, why would you connect to an Apple TV when you are not at home? Or share your password with another device when nobody asked you in person (e.g. WiFi password)?

Form my understanding, this falls into the same category as phishing SMS or mails. You as a user need to know if this is legit or not.

The target audience for this are not people here on lemmy… it’s our parents, grandparents and more in generally people who are not tach savvy… and/or just don’t care.

This is why we need to make people aware of this and teach them how to respond, basically not to click on everything you see. I’m still doing this in my family and I’m very proud of my 80 year old grandma, that dodged a few very convincing scams. :)

And haha, I never thought of backdoors, but yes, they are also produced by humans.

Dare I say it… did they really turned around the ship? I waited since the launch to finally finish playing it (or in this case, start a new game).

I’m sorry, but I really don’t get it… the bigger question is and always has been where can I watch it.

It was a bit easier during the beginning of the streaming era, but never that easy, especially in Europe…

I need a stupid app (JustWatch) to tell me where I can watch a movie or show… so how is it easy to watch? It’s also not easy if I need 4+ streaming services…

Yep… also the ACG review mentioned a huge amount of pop-in as well…

So I guess it’s again wait for a sale or that it comes to a subscription service.

I already sold my physical copy and I really don’t regret it at all.

My group of friends and I where really excited and played through the story together, but the endgame just wasn’t fun. I don’t know what exactly it was, but we kinda stoped playing.

The new season and “patches” didn’t really improve it a lot imho… a shame, really!

Depending on how you define late, some might say it is already too late.

The really unfortunate thing is, that even if we act now, it only affects the future… and for some that’s “too far away”. But these things take time… like it took time to arrange at the point we are today.

Those poor children… this is really sad. And I’m really surprised they kept at it for so long.

Another benefit is that they are more often then not patched up and better playable, compared to the release.

I know what you mean, so here are my solutions. My podcast are either about F1 or gaming - so very generic and I have different ones. The topics are very similar, but with different persons and opinions, it’s never the same - so ideal for drifting off.

For audiobooks, I mostly listen to books, I’ve already read or listend to previously. So you know the rough story, but some small details are always missed. My prime example are the harry potter books by stephen fry… I fall asleep within minutes haha

I really wish there was a new one…

I’m just finding that fact sad that people but their 1-year olds in front of a screen for 4+ hours a day, that’s all.

That describes it perfectly!

Yup, after reddit I tried it again and join a lot of servers… but as you said, it was just a bit too overwhelming.

You’re right! I’m interested as well and curious what the reviews say…

Edit: Only 30€ as well on PSN.

Super excited for this one as well!

Yup, the rabbit hole is quite deep. That’s only the people we know to have been targeted by this version Pegasus, I’m sure the dark figure is much higher.

Guess what I’m humming right now after reading tetris?

Sorry, I totally forgot to link it (I had it copied already), but here you go: https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world

I edited my post as well.

Perhaps, they added, Apple could add a warning message when using the Control Panel toggles that alerts the user that tapping on its Bluetooth icon doesn’t completely shut off Bluetooth and their iPhone can still interact with proximity-activated beacons, such as Bochs’ contraption. So they are saying “off” isn’t really off if you do it in the control center, you have so go into settings to completely turn it off.

I don’t know if it turns itself black on (blue) when something is trying to connect.

I also have a sometimes hard time falling asleep, I guess I think and overthink everything too much…

So my go-to are audio books and podcasts.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I’m only on consoles (for now), but I’ve added it to my steam wish list.

As soon as I got a good deal on a 1TB SSD I bought one for my PS5!

Unfortunately, despite the promise, that games will get much smaller due to sony’s special compression technique - most of them didn’t really.

So I guess the correct answer is never enough haha.

How can anyone can keep up with the big ones? I’ve tried it a few times, but it’s really hard to get a conversation going…

Oh no… and I was excited for a hot minute (literally).

Thank you for directly linking the trailer!

Looks good, I’m excited - but I keep my expectations in check.

I’ve also heard good things about the performance and bugs!

Did you play the new DLC?

I enjoyed Foundation as well, so I would definitely play it.

My timeline for playing is Control (when it released) > Alan Wake Remastered (earlier this year) > Control with all DLCs (after AW). Alan Wake was always on my radar, but when I it finally came to the PS Collection for free I had no excuses left haha

Alan Wake as a whole did not age too well gameplay wise… but the story is just so good and the pacing is also nice. There is always something new going on and it also has the perfect length.

Funny story for the DLCs, they are quite hidden in the Remaster (you hab to manually select them from Main Menu > Chapter Select > Extra Episode 1 and 2)

I really enjoyed them, the gave the much needed context on what’s happened to Alan after the end of the main game.

Sure thing, AW Remastered with all DLCs and Control Complete Collection with the DLCs…

That’s why I need to know how the story continues!

Me too, replayed AW1 and Control a few weeks ago… I’m so ready for AW2!

That’s actually true, I completely forgot that!

Maybe they are testing the water in order to see how much interest there is for F-Zero? Let’s hope for the best.
