I picked up Elden Ring over a year ago and had started it. It was really difficult going around the world and I felt like I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I could because of its difficulty. This was my first experience with a “Souls” game.

I played a bit of Demon’s Souls over the holidays last year on ps3 because I had it on ps+ and was curious. I liked it and it helped me force myself to keep at it with some enemies, as it’s more linear.

That gave me the push to try Elden Ring once more and it then “clicked” and I just kept at it and now I’m having way more fun. I’m going back everywhere because I know I skipped difficult bosses or parts of the game.

I found out that I had skipped over a whole area and went to an even more difficult one, so I was getting a harder game than I should have. Upon going to the now easier map section (and with an upgraded character), I breezed through a huge section.

If you haven’t heard of it, I recommend 😅

Search “what is my ip” on your web search engine to see without and with a VPN connection, to see if you’re really going through the VPN tunnel. Seems like you aren’t.

Apple highlighted three new features coming to CarPlay:

Voice Control: This feature will allow users to navigate CarPlay and control apps with just their voice. Color Filters: This feature will make the CarPlay interface visually easier to use for individuals with color blindness. Sound Recognition: This feature will enable drivers or passengers who are deaf or hard of hearing to receive notifications on CarPlay for driving-related sounds, such as car horns and sirens.

Fire up a wireshark / tcpdump of a transfer and look to see if the TCP window size is limiting the transfer by the laptop. It might not be able to receive as much data.

Look to another service to test the speed. Your test seems web based, have you tried iperf3? You can also play with options in iperf3 (sending udp, tcp, different payload sizes, etc.)

Video games, because it’s easier to do it legally. If it was as easy for other media, I would do it that way.

I might have a date with a fellow coworker. But we’ve got to keep this hush hush.

Let’s ban one app instead of making laws that govern personal data for everyone.

That’s a three-star day for you? I wouldn’t want to see a two or one-star!

That’s a five star feeling for sure!

I’m going to a concert Saturday night.

You lucky bastard.

I use one called “I don’t care about cookies”, seems to work well.

Alright, we get it. Xbox games are coming to ps5. We don’t need every single xbox game to have its own article.

Yep and somehow, they want you to “prove” you don’t have one.

“On all platforms (excluding consoles).” so is that just PC?

Making money is seen as wholesome now?

There should obviously have a no-stickers-on-the-instructions rule! Thet can’t just put a sticker over the instructions! What can I do? I certainly can’t return them now, they were on rebate!

I’ll tell you what you do, Larry. You take that back to the grocery store, you march right in, and you demand a rebate on the rebate! You tell them loud and clear that the sticker-on-the-instructions is unacceptable!

You think so Leon?

Oh yeah, Larry. Let me cancel my pedicure and I’ll go marching in there with you. Let’s go right now.

They go there while borrowing Susie’s car.

– And somewhere throughout there’s a “Jesus fucking Christ Larry! Just fucking buy new ones. You can’t berate a kid working there for a stupid fucking sticker! You’re ridiculous Larry!”

“It’s about the principle now! You can’t just stick your rebate stickers everywhere, anywhere!”

– Cue the end of the episode where Susie goes grocery shopping and the store workers put rebate stickers all over her car, thinking they’re doing it on Larry’s.

Back and forth of the camera between Larry’s surprised face, mixed with hand gestures saying “no, I didn’t do this, it’s not my fault” and Susie’s face being mad at Larry for someone else’s fault, but somehow it’s always Larry’s fault.

Well, your Guest Wi-Fi can either have access to the pihole server and have its benefits, or point them to a public DNS. You can’t block access to the dns server for your guest network and hope it works - because it’s blocked. Personally I’d give Guest Wi-Fi a public DNS, as you won’t have much fun when an app of your friend’s stop working and you have to fiddle and work it out.

If you point the guest network’s dns to the gateway, that gateway needs to know what to do with those requests. Either it has a resolver locally or it mist forward it elsewhere.

Doordash has a subscription?

Man I can’t imagine getting a game that young and finding out after the fact that I’d had to give all my allowance to play it.
