It's a reference to the 100k Trump watch. So still specific to the US

Back then, Halo felt like running 26.219 miles

If the topic is repeated a lot, or there's an ongoing event or incident happening a megathread seems helpful. All the important information and recent developments can be pinned to a single post, instead of having to trawl through each discussion to either help others find information or to get more info yourself.

Communities that are huge might deploy these more often for lower scale events, as I can imagine the umpteenth thread about some change in a video game being stupid can cause the rest of the community to start disengaging, which is something you want to collectively avoid.

While I personally do not join any Discord servers like that, you could try browsing discord.com/servers and find communities that align with your interests or hobbies. This would make it a bit easier to start talking as there would be subjects you have in common to engage with

Had the pleasure of playing an early version last year, very cool to see how much of it has "settled" and the direction is crystal clear now. Love the little mechanics

If it was a bug, why did he delete his post?

Is that Boebert?

I'm with you but I wouldn't trust search results that point me to a 3rd party tool to do whatever I need to do. Unless the link in question is actually well known and I've just been living under a rock, then don't mind me

"The problem is that for Russian developers, communication with the community, including the international one, and technical support are implemented through Discord,"

Well that's their problem, isn't it? It's also a problem over here. Technical support regarding simple questions is fine, but any in-depth troubleshooting should honestly be done outside of Discord.

Edit: ah the bot is literally called paywall. What a useless piece of Lemmy junk.

The article itself admits that it's hinged on two "substantial what if's"

Just be patient and wait until more information comes out.

Ah I should have checked that, yeah. That will bump up the average by quite a bit. Thanks for the logic to my conspiracies, I should have known better

Let's see what the suit will actually be about (which patent) and then judge accordingly

Can we pin this post as an example kthnx

My Asus laptop draws (a maximum of) 200W as far as I can tell.

This is not my model but here's the tech sheet for a different one: https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/asus-tuf-gaming-a14-2024/techspec/

It's only 30 people that have pledged the $14,670. This almost averages to $500 per backer, which is a lot higher than the global average.

My theory? They are arranging the pledges themselves to make it look like they are desired.

That's returning it to the seller. In your country there's implied warranty from the manufacturer and they will have to honor your claims if it is showing defects

Can you not claim warranty / do an RMA?

Technically you can just get it from the website, no need to install the client.
