Just curious what issues you're having with the Epic store. I've bought a few games now and thought the process was pretty smooth.

Lol, they need to do a little quiz after the movies. But really though, if you don't want to watch the movies why are you an academy voter

I was thinking the other day, imagine a plane went down in 2015 with Kanye West and Elon Musk aboard. It would be like "ah man, there go a couple legends".

PC Optimum reward program locks man out of account worth $43K without warning or explanation in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Redemption events at shoppers turn 200k into $300 or 250k into $400 on Black Fridays. Last year they had an event to double your entire point spend which was the best redemption yet (500k became $1000). I've used these events to get my PS5, PSVR2, Xbox, switch, Sonos speakers, Apple Airpod Max, sim race wheel. Of course starting this year they've stopped carrying all the cool electronics.

All this being said, you can only redeem a max of 500k in any translation so keeping anything more than that doesn't serve much purpose.

This one had a fair bit of success in America, they had popular cartoon in the mornings in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it was my first exposure to anime.

Yup! Also the other host Christian appeals to the Sega kid in me. He'll uncover gems that evoke the Dreamcast era.

People are more likely to go online and complain than to compliment. But why take internet comments so seriously. I have a handful of trusted sources that I use to get my opinions on games. DLC Podcast for example is a favorite of mine. I've gotten to know their tastes and where they overlap with mine so when they get excited about a specific thing I'll know if I'm likely to enjoy it based on our shared interests.

When you get a handful of voices that have a strong overlap with your own taste then you can get outside of the tribalistic bitching of the hive. Comments don't even concern me anymore.

Can't find drawer navigation (lemmy.world)

I have two accounts in the app. One of them, if I go to Settings > General has "Drawer Navigation" and "Bottom Navigation"

My other account doesn't have these options at all.

If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup? (lemmy.world)
 

Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap UPS

How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results.

Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag.

Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing,

MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine.

Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream

Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I've got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder.

My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast.

Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices?

EDIT

After some looking around Kodi might be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further.

EDIT 2

The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution

I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy? (lemmy.world)

Ok so here's the rules

  • I just bet on red every time
  • I start with 1 dollar
  • every time I lose, I triple my previous bet
  • every time I win I restart

I'm going to simulate 10 games

  • Game 1 - Bet $1 Lose
  • Game 2 - Bet $3 Lose
  • Game 3 - Bet $9 Win $18
  • Game 4 - Bet $1 Lose
  • Game 5 - Bet $3 Lose
  • Game 6 - Bet $9 Win $18
  • Game 7 - Bet $1 Lose
  • Game 8 - Bet $3 Lose
  • Game 9 - Bet $9 Lose
  • Game 10 - Bet $18 Win $36

In this simulation I'm losing at a rate of 70%. In reality the lose rate is closer to 52%. I put in $54 but I'm walking away with $72, basically leaving the building with $18.

Another example. Let's pretend I walk in with $100,000 to bet with. I lose my first 10 games and win the 11th.

  • 1 lose
  • 3 lose
  • 9 lose
  • 27 lose
  • 81 lose
  • 243 lose
  • 729 lose
  • 2187 lose
  • 6561 lose
  • 19683 lose
  • 59049 win $118098

$88573 spent out of pocket, $118098 won

Walk out with roughly $29525.

I get most casinos won't let you be that high but it's a pretty extreme example anyway, the likelyhood of losing 10/11 games on 48% odds is really unlikely.

So help me out here, what am I missing?
