I absolutely hate it. I understand the reasoning that banning the party would likely result in them just doing their stuff underground in an organization and place that you don't yet have infiltrated with spies, but holy fuck when will something fundamental happen to the AFD? We're dangerously close to repeating history.

And I don't think I can trust on the whole "defensible democracy" thing anymore...

Okay, thank you for the comprehensive answer! I remembered wrong, I actually have the GTX 1660 Ti. Ever since I switched from my 970, I always mix up the numbers. Nonetheless, it changes almost nothing about your statement, I think, lol

I could be mistaken but I think I read something about being able to choose which games a child member can see and play? If your adult sis is prone to getting banned, just invite her as child, if the system works like that. Sure, the terms "adult" and "child" are more intuitive for regular people, but in essence it's just "admin/mod" and "member", no?

You're right. And sure, it's gonna suck for the twelve legitimate people who lose their access because their sibling is a dickwad, but that's an okay tradeoff if it prevents a sudden surge of cheats.

Mhmm, I just noticed it yesterday when I first tried using it. But it doesn't seem all good, because apparently it only works (without any workarounds) if you are on the same network. My sister, who lives in the same country but 400 km away, couldn't join upon invitation :c

You're right that these things have been happening for a while, but does it invalidate their actions now? Sure, it would've been better, had they said something earlier, but better do the right thing eventually than think "Eh, I didn't open my mouth the very first time so it's no use doing it now"...right?

I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I've been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD's scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia's 40xx series today?

Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I'm at work and can't watch it immediately

A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you're at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.

Oh hey, can you try to explain why you want to do that? I'm always confused by it because unless you mean to end on a dramatic pause, these are just regular sentences and those usually end on a period (or nothing/smiley, if you're an internet person

I also answer all calls I get and (usually) call back if they missed me. I actively gave my number to one or two research groups for polls. They call maybe twice per year, so it's alright.

As for scammers, maybe 10% of calls are of that sort and so far I enjoy messing with them when they call.

If you have birds in your area, try finding and identifying them (for example by using Merlin Bird ID).

Can confirm, StreetComplete is very fun to enhance your general existence in / awareness of a place.

 

Not sure if there's a better place to ask this. From what I understand, OsmAnd~ is basically a community-run version of the otherwise subscription-based OsmAnd+

To add POIs and make other changes to Open Street Map, I need to log into an editing account of sorts. Will this be fine or could my access to the app get wrecked in some way? After all, I am not subscribed to the "official" service.

 

Hiya, I hope I'm not completely in the wrong place (/c/Technology seems to only be dedicated to tech news but not questions). I have this powerbank with a built-in solar panel. The powerbank itself seems great so far, but it's a pretty tiny solar panel. I've read about the difficulty of just hooking up a regular powerbank to a solar panel (spikes and dips in voltage due to clouds, people, etc.).

But since this powerbank is already designed to be charged with solar energy, can I simply hook a big-ass solar panel onto it and recharge it much faster than the officially displayed "several days, depending on the weather"?
