While backend- and other types of software developers seem to be unaffected

What if you write backend code for web application?

Unless you physical control your media, you don’t own your data.

Asteroid the size of 64 Canada geese to pass Earth Tuesday - NASA

I’m not even making this up …

I was on a domestic flight in Europe two months ago and there was no such announcement. They were probably just being nice and saving you some battery.

But there is absolutly no reason to turn it off because of any saftey concerns with the plane.

Well, I don’t know how much it’s using but I suspected it was somewhere between 0 and 550 ;)

Yeah, that’s how power adapters usually work. Thanks.

I really don’t know much it’s actually using but my NAS has a 550W power adapter …

My only gripe(s): only 2 USB ports

I have a DS2422+ and even that only has 2 USB ports. But you can expand them with a USB-hub. I had 5 external drives connected over a single port without issues.

Synology’s limited list of “approved” HDDs.

You can use this script and put it as a scheudeled task “on boot”. It will automatically add all your harddrives to the list of verified drives, disabling all warnings and errors with it.

If you keep it at 80% it doesn’t take a day to charge to full. As long as you know 1 or 2 hours in advance, it’ll be full.

But yeah, if your use-case is that you spontaneously need to leave your charger and require your full battery capacity, you should keep charging it to full. Maybe even get a powerbank as well.

But you can still choose to charge it to 100% when you anticipate you need that extra 20%. So it’s not really “already degraded” it’s just “on demand”.

Blizzard literally became so shitty I can’t waited for Microsoft to take over and clean house.

They hardly maintain them anymore…

Yeah, I remember Genji and Tracer. I suspect they were left a bit overpowered to push players to overwatch at the time. But they are both high micro, high mobility heroes, so I get they are hard to balance.

I think my biggest pet peeve was when they effectivly removed stealth by changing the effect from the decades old, proven StarCraft kind … to basically a milky outline. And at the time stealth heroes were already terrible in competitive play.

But I should probably stop being salty about it and try it out again. It’s actually still installed, lol

Deathwing

That one is new to me, so I must have quit before 2020.

I have a lvl 15 Brightwing myself (it probably isn’t the cap anymore). definitly my favourite healer along Uther.

Back in the day a couple of buddies from StarCraft an other games were trying to get into competitive after the HotS beta and it was a lot of fun for a while. But over time it just felt like Blizzard really pivoted to balancing the game around low elo QM games, which left more and more heros unviable for competitive play. It just took the fun out of it. And of course the entire lootbox shit, I hate it.

But maybe I’ll spin up over the weekend.

Honestly, it was just odd to see an old game and hero I used to play pop up here. Wasn’t expecting that.

Is is still active?

Heroes of the Storm: Alexstrasza in dragon form actually isn’t any tankier at all

I mean, you’re just wrong here. The ability grants a flat +500 health. That’s more tankier than not having 500 health. She also gains lifesteal from her melee attacks, adding even more health while attacking. And she gains reduced slow/root/stun duration, which also indirectly makes you more tanky by preventing damage you might otherwise have taken.

Sure, she doesn’t become a frontliner, but saying “she isn’t any tankier” is categorically false.

Ah good house cleaning at Activision Blizzard was long overdue …

I guess I’m lucky I just get the “System requirements not met” instead of the Win11 update option.

None of these crafts can go to mars … so all these langauges are bad? Or what is this trying to say? I don’t get it.

Still makes more sense than this post.
