Burger King Giving Discounts If Facial Recognition Thinks You're Hungover
  • I prefer Burger King over most restaurants.

    I'm probably going to order a burger anyways so I don't see the need to pay extra for a fancy one that I need a knife and fork to eat when I can get just as tasty burger from BK.

  • Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]
  • Sorry! Just in case this came out rude or judgy. It’s just a bit rare that ones’ library is so empty. It was just a thought because mine looks similar when I don’t activate Proton.

    No worries. I feel the same way when I see someone have a huge list of games on Steam. I don't understand how they have time to learn and play all those games. For me it's always been that I find one game I like and then only play that for several years.

    Ironically Arma 2 is my first ever game downloaded on Steam as DayZ used to be mod for that one before the standalone version came out and I'm still playing it over 10 years later. Applies to Age of Empires 2 that's on the list too. I've been playing it since 1999 and I still do every now and then. Whose got time for new games when old ones still keeps on giving haha

  • Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]
  • Do you really have this few games in your library?

    Yes. I don't play anything else except DayZ currently.

    Second, if you are already using Proton and my first guess is wrong, use another Proton version.

    Yeah I had all this enabled. The game worked perfectly before and then just all of a sudden stopped launching. I tired Proton 8 and 7 aswell but no difference.

    What distro are you using?

    Ubuntu

    Did you try using Flatpak instead of the native package?

    I was using the snap version of Steam that I had installed from Ubuntu App Store. I uninstalled it and installed the native version using terminal. Obviously I had to re-download and re-install the game aswell and it started working again after that. I'm not entirely sure what was causing the issue in the first place but I'm suspecting it was an issue in the steam app itself. What is curious though is that the exactly same issue occured to me previously with Windows 7 aswell and judging by the reports online, I'm not the only one.

    The problem is however solved - atleast for now, and that's the most important thing. Thanks for the help though! The assistance I got from this community is invaluable. I'd be completely stuck with this on my own.

  • The Mighty Cybertruck Keeps Getting Stuck in the Snow
  • Weight alone doesn't help. It matters where the weight is. On a rear wheel drive vehicle it absolutely does help with traction and handling if you add more weight on the rear axle. People have been hauling sandbags on their truck beds/trunks in the winter for ages for a good reason.

  • The Mighty Cybertruck Keeps Getting Stuck in the Snow
  • They do but the tires are specifically made for Cybertruck and the hubcaps lock in with the tire. If you buy a different set of tires they fit the wheels just fine but the hubcaps no longer do. It just affect aesthetics and probably aerodynamics.

  • The Mighty Cybertruck Keeps Getting Stuck in the Snow
  • If you're getting a separate set of winter tires you're going to need another set of wheels anyway. I mean you could have them switched to the same wheels and be rebalanced twice a year but I don't know anyone who does that. Here everyone simply just has two sets of wheels.

  • Good “Buy for Life” Brands
  • For hiking and camping gear: Savotta

    If you're not from Finland you've probably never heard of them but I'm yet to buy one product from them I'm not satisfied with. They make gear for the Finnish defence forces aswell.

  • OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material
  • There's not a musician that havent heard other songs before. Not a painter that haven't seen other painting. No comedian that haven't heard jokes. No writer that haven't read books.

    AI haters are not applying the same standards to humans that they do to generative AI. Obviously this is not to say that AI can't plagiarize. If it's spitting out sentences that are direct quotes from an article someone wrote before and doesn't disclose the source then yeah that is an issue. There's however a limit after which the output differs enough from the input that you can't claim it's stealing even if perfectly mimics the style of someone else.

    Just because DallE creates pictures that have getty images watermark on them it doesn't mean the picture itself is a direct copy from their database. If anything it's the use of the logo that's the issue. Not the picture.

  • What's the best way to read a book in a dark room?
  • That's not why the light is red lol

    Red light doesn't mess up your night vision. With a red light you can turn it off and still see as long as there's some ambient light such as moonlight. With white light you need to wait for 10 to 15 minutes for your eyes to get accustomed to the darkness.

  • Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]
  • I wonder if this command would clear out the remaining files from the snap install that appears to have been left behind? Since the game is now working I'm afraid to tweak anything more so that I don't mess it up again

  • Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]
  • Yeah upgrading the motherboard, cpu and ram is ahead at some point. I don't really game that much so haven't wanted to invest much into that thing. I almost exlusively play DayZ which it barely runs. With the new GPU and by optimizing the settings I get decent visuals with 35 to 60 fps but there's a ton of room for improvement. I've been upgrading it piece by piece starting with an SSD and the new GPU.

    Game runs now by the way. I'm not exactly sure what finally did it but I'm suspecting the new steam version and reinstalling the game itself. Huge thanks for the help. Without this community I'd be at a complete loss with this stuff.

  • Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]

    This may not be a Linux specific problem as I had the exact same issue earlier with Windows 7 and it's one of the reasons I installed Linux in the first place.

    The specific game I'm trying to play is DayZ but it may not be issue specific to this game. It worked flawlessly untill this point. I had made no changes to anything. Basically when I try to launch the game it starts loading up normally and then just apparently quits and the "Play" button goes back green. No error, no black screen, no freezing or anything. It just stops launching the game.

    !

    I've tried checking the integrity of files, deleting downloads catche, disabling steam cloud, removing launch options.. nothing. Almost like it gets blocked by firewall or something. However I feel like it may be an issue with steam itself or then it's a hardware issue (I've got really old PC)

    Few things I've noticed that may or may not be related:

    • When opening up steam it almost always used to download some updates first and check the integrity of them or something. Now it doesn't. It just opens up Steam. When I click "check for updates" it says everything is up to date.

    • The firmware updater shows available updates for my SSD and HDD but no option to update. I also tried with sudo fwupdmgr get-devices but it says "UEFI firmware can not be updated in legacy BIOS mode See https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/PluginFlag:legacy-bios for more information."

    !

    • In the privacy settings it says "checks failed" and gives me this message:

    !

    • I've tried reinstalling Proton BattlEye Runtime but it wont let me uninstall it and says "missing shared content"

    Ilmalämpöpumpun sammutus ja uudelleen käynnistys pakkasella

    Ei varmaan kukaan tähän kerkeä ajoissa vastaamaan, mutta saako ilmalämpöpumppua asetettua tilaan, että se pysyy käynnissä, mutta ei lämmitä tai lämmittää vain vähän? Tekisi mieli sammuttaa tuo toosa kovimman hintapiikin ajaksi, mutta en sitä viitsisi pitää kiinni ensi viikkoon asti. Jos säädän termostaattia pienemmälle, niin sammuuhan se kompressori silloinkin vaikka virrat pysyykin päällä. Sama varmaan pätee jos laitan tuuletusasetukselle.

    New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

    https://mullvad.net/en/help/install-mullvad-app-linux

    Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I'm doing here. Can't I just download a file and install it? I'm on Ubuntu.

    Yrittäjyys, laskutus ja alv

    En ole vielä edes aloittanut yrittäjyyttä ja hukun nyt jo stressiin. Tuntuu, että pitäisi tietää ihan helvetisti asioista ja etten tiedä yhtään mitään. Silmät vaan lipuu tekstiä myöten, mutta mitään ei jää päähän.. No, jos tämä lanka avaa edes yhden näistä solmuista, niin hyvä.

    Toimin tällä hetkellä kevytyrittäjänä ja laitoin juuri ensimmäisen laskun asiakkaalle ukko.fi asiakaspalvelun avustuksella. Oletan, että se meni oikein, mutta en ymmärrä miksi se pitää tehdä näin.

    Työn laskutuksessa ei mitään ihmeellistä, mutta materiaalikuluissa kyllä. Yksityishenkilönä kun käyn ostamassa rautakaupasta tarvikkeet jotka maksoi vaikka 100€ sisältäen alvin, niin minkä takia asiakas joutuu maksamaan 100€ + 24%? Oman järjen mukaan kun alv on jo maksettu, niin eikös sen pitäisi vaan maksaa minulle takaisin tuo 100€ ja sillä selvä? Nythän siitä maksetaan alv ikäänkuin kahteen kertaan. Asiakaspalvelija vakuutti, että näin se menee, mutta en ymmärrä miksi. Osaako joku viisaampi selventää?

    Otetaan vastaan myös kannustavia kommentteja yrittäjyyteen liittyen. Kauhukokemukset saatte pitää itsellänne. En halua edes kuulla, tai muuten menen takaisin töihin sinne mistä tulinkin ja hautaan nämä haaveet.

    Espoolaispäiväkoti keksi nokkelan tavan vetää vessat sähkökatkon aikana – ”Sehän on lapsista vain hauskaa” [kaadetaan vettä ämpärillä pönttöön]
    yle.fi Espoolaispäiväkoti keksi nokkelan tavan vetää vessat sähkökatkon aikana – ”Sehän on lapsista vain hauskaa”

    Espoossa tiistaina tapahtunut sähkökatko aiheutti sen, että Espoon Saunalahdessa sijaitsevan päiväkodin vessoja ei voitu vetää normaalisti.

    Espoolaispäiväkoti keksi nokkelan tavan vetää vessat sähkökatkon aikana – ”Sehän on lapsista vain hauskaa”

    Kysyn ehkä nyt vähän tyhmiä, mutta miten sähkökatko vaikuttaa vessan vetämiseen?

    I can't, for the life of me, figure out where this "pinned post" is located. I see a lot comments removed for breaking that rule, but I have no idea what it is.
