    Alex Kovacs reacted to Middcore in The Sinking City developer asks users not to buy its game on Steam!   
    This is because of Big Ben/Nacon (the publisher) failing to fulfill their contract with Frogwares (the developer) and pay the devs what they're owed. This story goes back almost to when the game was first released. Here's a rundown from when the game was delisted before in summer of 2020: https://frogwares.com/the-sinking-city-is-being-delisted-heres-why/ 
     
    It has nothing to do with Epic. If you're still this salty about Epic in the year 2021, find some other thread to rant in because it's totally off topic here.

    Alex Kovacs reacted to TetraSky in The Sinking City developer asks users not to buy its game on Steam!   
    It's unfortunate that small developers need publishers in order to even develop their games...

    But it's good that now that they are somewhat established, they can publish their own games. Like they did with the PS5 and Switch version.
     
    Worst part in this, is NACON trying to portrait themselves as not guilty... Even though they messed up multiples times and didn't even pay the devs by the end of it.
     
    A) It's not exclusive at all if it's available elsewhere(It's also on Origin). Including DRM free versions(GamesPlanet). This is totally just because it's not available on your platform of choice, isn't it.
    B) They tried releasing their version on Steam again and it got pulled. Either by Valve, by themselves, or by NACON.

    Dafaq? What you on about? The devs decided to release on egs, a company that doesn't pay it's royalty's released the same game on steam, and youre  worried about epic?

    Alex Kovacs reacted to Kilrah in If Pixar made a robot - ClicBot Robot Showcase   
    First looks yes, showcases no, companies choose which one they want. Likely they pay more if they want a main channel video, a shortcircuit being the "budget" option.

    Alex Kovacs got a reaction from TheRessurection in If Pixar made a robot - ClicBot Robot Showcase   
    This video was sponsored, hence why it's probably on the main channel. Also, on ShortCircuit they usually showcase your "average" stuff (e.g. monitors, keyboards etc)

    Actually yea, forget about the sponsored thing then. It might be because it's something uncommon or it might just be lack of content on the main channel? We'll never know LUL

    Paper is actually pretty abrasive so might cause more scratches than you'd have otherwise.

    Alex Kovacs reacted to Ashley MLP Fangirl in Is it okay to use a paper between the keyboard and screen of laptop?   
    lap[tops are designed so that the keys won't scratch the display... this shouldn't be neccesary unless the laptop was poorly designed.

    Alex Kovacs reacted to kelvinhall05 in Changes on March 16th, 2021 to Lastpass free tier will prevent you from using Lastpass on more than one type of device   
    Summary
    On March 16th, 2021, Lastpass will remove the ability for free users to use Lastpass on more than one type of device. This means you'll have to decide whether you want to use it exclusively on mobile, or exclusively on PC.
     
    If you want to use your Lastpass account on your phone and computer, you will have to upgrade to Premium.
     
    I had trouble understanding exactly what this meant, but thankfully they gave some examples:
     
    My thoughts
    This is bullshit and not even 15 minutes after I saw this, I had exported my data, imported into Bitwarden, and deleted my Lastpass account. I strongly suggest everyone currently using Lastpass to switch to either Bitwarden or maybe Keepass.

    Alex Kovacs reacted to LAwLz in Facebook blocks Australian users and publishers from viewing or sharing news   
    I think Facebook is in the right here and doesn't deserve any backlash. 
    Australia is saying "if you want to serve people news you need to pay us" and Facebook replied with "okay then we won't serve people news". 
     
    If you try and tax/add a fee to some business then you can't be surprised if they close the shop. 
     
    Besides, with a bit of luck people will stop getting their news from echo chambers on Facebook now that they have removed that feature. 
     
    Also, wouldn't it be funny if the news organisations that lobbied for the link fee were harmed because of this? Their argument was that they deserved compensation because facebook and Google were stealing their business. Google's argument was that they actually helped them by driving people to their site.
    I mean, if the media isn't happy about this then clearly Google had a point when they said they helped new sites, and if Google and Facebook are helping news sites by linking to their articles why should they pay for it? 
     
    Seems to me like news sites are just trying to double dip. They are demanding that Google and Facebook pay them to promote them.

    Alex Kovacs reacted to Jet_ski in EA to buy racing game developer Codemasters for $1.2 billion   
    Summary
    Electronic Arts reached an agreement on Monday to buy U.K. racing game developer Codemasters in a deal worth $1.2 billion. The deal upstaged a previous transaction agreed between rival publisher Take-Two Interactiveand Codemasters. The firm had agreed to acquire Codemasters for £726 million ($971 million) only last month.

    My thoughts
    It’s ok guys, everyone from Codemasters will quit their EA job after a while and we will buy games from their future employers. I’m sure the MBAs at EA will innovate newer ways to ruin Codemasters’ games!

    Alex Kovacs reacted to 79wjd in What cpu to buy for a gtx 1050ti system?   
    No, the 1400 would be just as good. However, I'd look into a 470/570 instead of the 1050Ti as it's usually not much more, but offers much more performance.

    Alex Kovacs reacted to Oshino Shinobu in Do microatx boards have any disadvantages?   
    Typically you lose a couple of PCIe slots, sometimes the full ATX version will have more SATA ports or an additional M.2 port. 
     
    As for the main components, they work just as well as full ATX boards, especially for what you're putting in the system.

    Alex Kovacs reacted to vaiwalker in What is "rtc video pnp listener"   
    it stands for Real Time Capturing video Protection and Privacy Listener, which captures your browsing habits and records video from your webcam when you boot your PC to the time you shut down and uploads it to people on the internet for money. I just made that up, but look at zep516's reply here. http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/367497-rtc-video-pnp-listener-fraud-and-weird-accounts-following/
    seems to be just some bundled software. a simple uninstall should fix it. or you could probably disable it from starting up on boot.

    I use hirens boot disk to remove passwords on Windows installations.  if it is a BIOS password than you are going to need to locate the password reset jumper or the BIOS Battery and remove it and wait till the power is drained from the board.
