Honestly for me it was starting Young. I can say wholeheartedly that if I hadn’t been working on operating Linux style systems in high school, there is no way in hell that if I tried starting it today that I would want to put myself through the hassle of not only learning it but also fixing it

So I’d have to say an energetic and perseverance and ambitious Style mindset

this is what i meant yea, just delay shipping to store outside the initial batch until all preorders are completed. Or in a perfect world not at all until preorders have been made.

Just have everyone join the queue and call it a day, or better yet, make release day a Nintendo only thing, and then after pre-orders are handled, then start giving to the stores.

This is so dumb.

“We had way more preorders than expected, in order to fulfill our preorders, we will be delaying in store sales until after preorders have been completed”

that would be such a simple solution. It’s not like they are out any money either way, and pushing an instore sale date back to make other prior commitments work isn’t a horrible thing, it just means that people who didn’t bother to preorder won’t get it day 1, but most who wanted it day 1 would have pre-ordered it anyway.

In my eyes your native language is the language that you learned from birth because it’s the one that you started. It doesn’t have to be the one that you’re the most proficient but, it usually is. The definition is

the language or dialect first learned by an individual or first used by the Parent/Guardian with a child

Your primary language is the language you use the most which in your case sounds like it’s English

the A series as a whole has been nothing but a disappointment from my observations. The a50, 51 and 52 have all sucked, the a11 and a12 series were subpar at best and the a20/21 series might as well not existed.

after the third continuous series of disappointment I stopped following the series though so maybe it’s better.

3 days in my opinion is too long imo for a default, if the entire point of it is to increase the security, the default gives 3 days worth of time for an entity to obtain a way to access it via some form of exploit or other means. That’s far long enough for most shipping options to send the device elsewhere that may have the appropriate tech to do so.

A 24h limit would significantly decrease the margin for exploitation. I agree the setting should have multiple time intervals though, I just think 3 days is way too long for the purpose of the setting. It seems like a “we wanna do something that sounds good, but won’t rock the boat for the powers that be”

If that’s the case hopefully there will be a setting to disable the feature as a whole as every 3 days would be annoying for a server,

I like it but, why so long? If I haven’t unlocked my phone in 24 hours I’m either dead or hospitalized, 3 days seems super extreme.

I dislike it, I drive out of nessecity but I’ve never really enjoyed it like most people I know seem to. I get stressed out in heavy traffic so I prefer rural areas

Firmly agree, what the US considers left versus with the rest of the world considered the left is vastly different. Even it’s left-leaning parties are borderline to moderate right when compared to the rest of the civilized countries who share similar ideologies.

Any true left leaning candidates get their funding ripped out at the roots and get stonewalled off the ballets, even Sanders, while a breath of fresh air was still more centrist than leftist when he was running, it’s just the US scale is so off balance that he used the “socialist/leftist” tag to get into the news/boost his PR.

I wanna preface this with I had a small keyboard slide phone in school, not a smart phone by today’s standards, but I am firmly against this archaic mentality.

It doesn’t address the elephant in the room, classrooms have become painstakingly boring. There is no real incentive for the student to actually do well anymore, or even pay attention. This is exclusively for the k-12 system though, as the issues seem to have become non-existent entering the college and university system. I went from being a solid D/C student in high-school to being an A/B+ student going into college

I spent my time in grade school fucking around and barely paying attention, this was without a smart phone. I couldn’t keep focused on the class subjects, and so therefore I gave up. The college system has the process down-packed, it’s laid back, not hours on end in a row learning useless shit you won’t need, and you have the freedom to either listen or don’t, there isn’t the constant pressure from professors “You are failing you need to do better” like in high school. Plus the professors seem actually happy to be there and they make the content more enjoyable, its not just droning on and on on a subject.

The only things removing a phone from a classroom is going to do is remove a potential learning tool, and just annoying your students even further. If your student doesn’t want to learn, removing items isn’t magically going to make the kid learn. Make it entertaining, do something OTHER than this stupid info cram shit where you just regurgitate information constantly. There is zero incentive on almost every subject you learn to actually want to learn it. You don’t learn any type of life skills, you don’t learn anything for your career/future. Hell they don’t even teach cursive anymore. My sister couldn’t even read a physical clock entering 7th grade. They don’t teach it. But you can bet things like “what happens in the 16th century” will be taught, or what basic cell structure is (I couldn’t tell you, I forgot all that info leaving that class room).

Like I get needing to know history, and basic mathematics, but the current schooling system is a overburdened plug of useless information for society. Everyone knows it, everyone lies to their kid saying things like “yea you will definitely need to know what beware the ides of march means in life”. If things were taught that people knew would be useful in life (or at the very least explained HOW it would be), and it wasn’t just a professor saying “ok class open your book, this is the lesson” for 3/4 of the year, you might have a better student attention span.

BC2 in my eyes is the best multiplayer battlefield style game. The destruction physics <3

I loved this game, I used to play it on my PS3. It was really the only game I felt comfortable using the flying mechanics in and it didn’t seem super overpowered weapon wise to the point you just got stomped by people who were amazing at the game

I doubt they will find anything copyright wise, patent wise maybe if they had patents for some of the mechanics, but if they don’t already have the mechanics, and try to file post-fact that’s going to backfire.

that would have been so cool, but I don’t really know how it coulda worked out, like an isolated horror-scape wouldnt allow for char development or anything.

Ironically, I feel the community that is most apt to fall in line with their project goals, and want to support this change, is also the community they are currently outcasting. Personally I stopped using GOG when it stopped working easily on my Debian system. I shouldn’t need to use a third party program to get it to work, and I swear it feels like they intentionally made it so WINE no longer works for it.

For a project that is supposedly for open use and game preservation, they don’t make it easy to actually do so.

I edited a few times within the first few minutes of posting it, so it’s also possible that it didn’t Federate the changes, but no I haven’t edited it since the first five ish minutes of the post

Firmly agree, I don’t believe he should have had access to change these password in the first place unless I’m misunderstanding their definition of test engineer, but if OP had the authority and permission to change the password in the first place, and that person deliberately changed it back to the insecure route again, management would be involved and there would some sort of reprimandment because that’s past ignorance, that’s negligence

my main question in this is, why does a test engineer have the credentials to change an admin password in production. Like I get that he needs to test things but I doubt he needs access to changing profile/account settings

At least in the US, You will struggle to find a car newer than like 2015 that doesn’t have a screen, and it’s basically impossible to find one newer than 2018 because it’s mandated at the federal level to have a backup camera installed.

you may not find full on infotainment system, there will be some sort of screen involved. But many manufacturers go by the methodology that if they’re installing a screen anyway for backup cam they might as well just go the whole nine yards and have it be a full-on infotainment system

Sadly I don’t have any recommendations, but I’m considering taking this plunge as well so I’ll keep my eye out on this thread
