iPhone 16 Launch Is Just One Month Out – Here's Everything We Know
  • While there are some really cool things coming (spatial video, action button, etc), the only reason to recommend an upgrade this year is for Apple Intelligence features. If your phone is old and it’s just your time to upgrade, then it’s a great year for it. But if you’ve got a newer phone, don’t rush for the upgrade.

  • macOS Sequoia may require weekly permissions for screen recording apps
  • MDMs already allow business to manage security permissions for apps. I don’t see why this would be any different. If the company has an MDM, this change should have no impact on their users. If they don’t have an MDM, they really need to get one, not just for this, but a lot of other security and usability reasons.

    This will really suck for users of personal devices, though.

  • When to stop upgradingg RoW? ShatteredPD
  • As a mage, +3 is probably a fair stopping point, maybe +5 if you really want the higher end equipment. You need the upgrades for your staff.

    For other classes, it depends. As a huntress, I’ll often stop at +11 or +13, depending on what level I found it at. Farming consumables and higher end equipment can be super fun! A +13 ring of wealth will provide +7 armor and weapons, which can easily be game winners. The higher level also will provide several scrolls of transmutation that I often use after dwarf king to get the ring that I want.

  • How do you guys manage faith is my armor challenge?
  • I’m honestly working on this challenge now. It requires changing your strategy from reducing damage via armor upgrades to avoiding damage at all costs. Avoiding damage is really hard to do, but increasing evasion by using cloth/leather armor and/or ring of evasion helps.

    My successes with this one have been with mage and huntress. Both allow you to create a build with high damage at range, minimizing the chances to get hit. The rogue’s free runner class is also a good option.

  • Important announcement: Future of the community
  • I like the Mac Rumors articles that the Zippy Bot posted.

    What do you want this community to be? A place to discuss news articles about Apple, or a place for users to bring their own discussion topics?

    Personally, I’d like it to be both. I think refining Zippy Bot would allow this community to still have plenty of rumor and news articles. I do wish there was a better balance of user posts, though, for better discussions.

  • How to use seeds for offense effectively?
  • A lot of times the monsters will follow your movements, even if there is a quicker path to attack you!

    Also. Yes flying enemies won’t trigger the plants by their movement. However, if they are over a plant, you can throw an item onto that tile to activate the plant. For example, if the bat is over a tile with a firebloom plant and you through some armor at the bat, the armor will not harm the bat but fall onto the plant, activating the firebloom seed and catching the bat on fire. I don’t do this often, but it can be useful.

  • How to use seeds for offense effectively?
  • It’s hard to anticipate the movements of enemies to use seeds effectively. I always throw a seed where I believe the enemy will go next. Throwing a seed at the tile where the enemy is now will not activate the effect and will allow them to safely move on. If you throw it where they will move to next turn, when they move into that tile, the seed effect will activate.

    My favorite offensive uses for seeds are poison (sorrowmoss) and fire (firebloom) to directly attack an enemy, or use stormvine seed to cause vertigo on a tile right next to chasms where they can fall thought. Using stormvine to kill a tough enemy in one hit is always satisfying.

  • Tips for new player (how to spend last 6 upgrade scrolls) or any tips in general after looking at my inventory and skill point allocation
  • What kind of wand did you imbue into your staff? I always recommend getting your staff to +7 so that it has 10 charges total.

    Also, the ring of energy is really good with mage. Definitely upgrade that to +4, where it gives a +100% bonus.

    Those two would take up 4 of your 6 remaining upgrade scrolls. I would likely out one into armor and one into your weapon, but it depends on the build you want to go with.

  • Should I go for Warlock or Battlemage?
  • Wand of warding is one of my absolute favorites. If you level that up to +12, you can make 2 max level wards. I like it best with battlemage, to get the healing for the wards on hit. I know you said you don’t like it, but it’s very powerful even in late game.

    Battlemage would also do well with wand of regrowth. It’s a slow pace to play as well as it ends up being a tank. I recommend trying it once as it’s surprisingly good.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I typically don’t use it, but I love it with certain glyphs or enhancements, usually thorns, shock, grim, or blooming (with warden).

    If I find the ring early before enchanting my end game equipment, I’ll typically either just equip it (if I have no other ring) for safekeeping in case it comes in handy, or transmute it. I generally won’t sell it unless I have other rings that fit my setup better.

    What to do with inherited server?

    Hey everyone. So I just inherited a Dell R720 from work. I don’t know the full specs on it yet, but it’s got a 24 core processor and about 380 GB of memory. I need to buy my own drives, though. I honestly have no idea what to do with this. I’ve dreamed of having a home lab, but only ever thought about hosting a Unifi controller and a plex or jellyfin server. I’ll probably put Proxmox on it to manage everything. What recommendations do you all have for making use of this server? I’m honestly open to anything!
