Taliban crashes UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter in Kabul, Afghanistan.
  • It's a matter of time before it happens to all of them. Helicopters require a ton of periodic maintenance, adjustments and upkeep. The Taliban don't have the culture, knowledge or access to parts to keep those air worthy.

  • T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users
  • Is there a technical term for when a company or corporation makes a statement that is a blatant bad faith argument like that?

    If none exists, I'd call it "Corporate massturbation". Because they're trying to jerk everyone off.

    Edit Here's another one: "Corporate Anal Ostriching." Because they're shoving their heads up their own asses

  • The way Distros welcome you
  • I can't be bothered to learn how to build and maintain a kernel though, hence why I stay away from Arch. My "dummy-friendly" distro of choice for KDE Plasma is OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It has been rock solid for a year now except for that one time a few weeks ago when NVidia dropped the ball and fucked up their driver update. It was fixed a few days later. My only other complaint is that I wish they didn't wait for NVidia to put the new 560 drivers in the production branch to trickle it down to us because for some reason that's what gets supported in tumbleweed. EVERYONE who needs those drivers are impatiently waiting for just that because pre-555 drivers don't play well with Wayland.

    Fedora Plasma Spin is probably another solid choice but for some reason on my computer it just instantly bricked itself upon first update.

  • Subnautica 2 - Official Teaser Trailer
  • One thing that is very noticeable is that the sound/music design. The original designer isn't working at Unknown Worlds anymore after making some very regrettable comments on social media and I'm not expecting him to come back. As a result Below Zer0's sound design was OK but pales in comparison to the amazing atmosphere that was set in the original game. Unless they manage to find a very talented sound designer it might miss the mark again.

  • Subnautica 2 - Official Teaser Trailer
  • I think the reason why the first one was such a great experience for me is that I got it much later after a lot of the issues with the bugs and gameplay were fixed and the story line was completed. I'm glad I did so. I might do the same with that one and wait a year before getting it, if reviews are decent.

  • I don't like the look of that mini maze

    Absurdly overpowered end game thanks to highly successful RoW run

    Had an early RoW, dumped 6 upgrades into it ASAP. Ended up with tons of +3 gear drops throughout the rest of the game. The grim greataxe with +8 ring of Arcana and +7 Ring of Furor meant that all enemies were executed within 1-3 hits. I had a ton of scrolls of transmutation as well with which I gave myself almost all of the desirable abilities from other classes. The only thing that I couldn't get to make it even more overkill was a camouflage enchantment on my armor.

    Seed: FQT-ZHV-WLL although since most of this gear was a random RoW drop or the result of a lucky transmutation, your results may vary. There is also a very useful unstable spellbook early on. The imp also gives you a +4 ring which at that point you can transmute to whatever you want.

    Well, well, well. If it isn't the invisible c... ...killer

    With a +10 ring of Arcana, stepping on grass grants you 32.5 turns of invisibility.

    Attacking with the blooming scythe spawns a ton of grass as well.

    And as the assassin, spending 9 turns while invisible provides a guaranteed one shot kill.

    Deadly combo.

    What if Tyrannosaurus Rexes moved and walked like chicken do?

    Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.

    I don't know and at this point I'm afraid to ask:

    How do you use the crossbow? Every attempt I've made to use it results in it being used as a melee weapon.

    Ladies and gentlemen, The Speedy Necromancer Assassin Guerilla Huntress build

    One of the most overpowered builds I've ever encountered without using a Ring of Wealth. You spend most of your time being invisible and surprise attack enemies before retreating to the forest you created by attacking them with your Blooming bow or your wand of Regrowth, making you invisible again. No vegetation around? Just use the blindweed-infused greaves of nature to disappear.

    Seed: VGB-RKB-RJM. Contains an early +1 ring of haste, ring of sharpshooting and a +2 greataxe later on. Plenty more high level wands as well along the way.

    Disable screen gamma adjustment Plasma 6

    I am running multiple screens from different brands. Because they are not the same, they must be set to different brightness values to look the same.

    The problem is that whenever I boot up, the Plasma brightness setting is changed, or Night Light kicks in, Plasma sets all my screens to the same value. This results in one screen being too bright and the other too dark. Every time this happens I must change the value back manually in my screen's built-in menu, which is annoying.

    In the Gamma settings panel there appears to be an upcoming feature where different screens can be set to different values but it is grayed out for the moment (running Plasma 6.0.4 on Tumbleweed).

    How do I disable this feature while I'm waiting for the ability to set individual brightness values to individual screens to come around?

    Anyone else experiencing weird bugs lately on their Pixel 7?

    I have had a three strange bugs and glitches happen to me on my GrapheneOS Pixel 7 today. First my e-mail account (FairEmail) stopped working properly and required a device reboot to fix. Then later in the day my home WIFI accounts set themselves to 'disabled' without my input, something that never happened before. And just now my cameras wouldn't work in both of the camera apps I am running and I had to reboot once again to fix it. This is very weird because I've never had problems like that before and now I've gotten 3 in the same day.

    I'm hoping that it's not a hardware issue. I've had this phone for only 1 year. Anyone else started experiencing strange issues like this recently?
