Likewise. Helldivers 2 has proven there’s some life left in the otherwise moribund live service category, by doing something different and most importantly fun.
Somehow I think battlefield will fail to learn anything from Helldivers success and end up churning out another over monitzed, rather dull, addition to the category.
My CDN bill recently went from about $5 a month to over $200. Turned out it was Tictok’s spider relentlessly scraping the same content over and over again.
It was ignoring robots.txt. In the end I just had to ban their user agent in the CDN config.
I wish premium would stop trying to add more stuff. I only want ad free videos, just do that, rather than adding loads of crap no one wants and then charging more because of the ‘increased value’.
I suspect that nectar prices are a way to get around the trading standards legislation that requires items on sale to have been offered at the higher price for 14 days. The nectar price isn’t a ‘sale’ so it doesn’t apply. Not that I have collected any evidence for this but it seems like my experience.
It’s known performance will be poor, but if it was that bad the ton of YouTubers doing their preview coverage would have been reporting it.
I wish more checkouts had volume / mute controls so you can at least customise it to what you want for your checkout. They reset after each use. I’ve seen a few with it but I wish they were more common.
Somehow I see to have completely missed this guy on my play through!
Alternative solution: pay for YouTube premium.
It just happened to me upvoting a post in this thread :(
Plus all the energy used in developing the feature in the first place. What a crock.
Good, as a UK resident I hope Apple, Signal, even WhatsApp stick to their guns over this issue. It’s the only way it will gain any traction with the public.
I wish they would offer an option without YT Music. I’m happy to pay for YouTube without adverts, but it annoys me that I’m paying for a music service that I don’t use and I reckon they only bundle it in to fluff the subscriber numbers for the service.
This is something the EU got right by limiting interchange fees to 0.5% rather than the 3%+ in the US. It stopped companies charging consumers extra for credit transactions and also stopped weird outcomes where airlines and hotel companies became more interested in their branded credit cards than in providing an actual service.
In my experience Office 365 is even harder to deliver to. The email envelope can be in perfect shape and sent via sendgrid (their recommended partner) and it will still silently drop mails for no obvious reason and if it does deign to deliver them it will often mark them junk.
I’m only sending low volume transactional emails. The amount of time I have to spend tweaking the email content just to persuade Microsoft to deliver the mail is absurd.
Yeah if you treat it is a junior engineer, with the ability to instantly research a topic, and are prepared to engage in a conversation to work toward a working answer, then it can work extremely well.
Some of the best outcomes I’ve had have needed 20+ prompts, but I still arrived at a solution faster than any other method.
