    pzspah reacted to geokilla in Cancel Your Floatplane Subscription. Don't Buy Their Merch.   
    Since Linus only cares about money, the obvious thing to do is to cancel your Floatplane subscription. Also don't buy their merch. Who in their right mind is going to pay $250 USD or $70 USD for a backpack and screwdriver respectively?

    pzspah reacted to uk_uk in I'm kinda done with LTT, because credibility has been lost   
    I used to like watching LTT, but now I'm just annoyed and only watch videos that I find thematically interesting, but which are becoming increasingly rare.   For example, I find the "infrastructure" VIdeos (i.e. virtually everything that has to do with servers, networks, etc.) quite exciting, because interesting application areas are often addressed.   However, his "My House" videos are getting more and more on my nerves. Yes, we get it, you're rich. That's great. Yeah, "MTV My Crib" knockoff the third. Wow...   Basically an interesting topic, but for the "normal user" completely superfluous. "Here look, a sinfully expensive piece of technology. And this one is even more expensive. This part here? More expensive than the two devices together". Sorry, but not everyone is in a position to set up their own "cinema room" for several 10,000 dollars or euros.   No, I'm not jealous, but at some point this "Look what I bought now (or worse: look what I got for free to advertise)" is just exhausting.   Most "obnoxious," however, are the "Intel $5000 Extreme Tech Upgrade" videos.   You have to watch it at your leisure: A CPU manufacturer is now spending close to $100,000 (5k per video, we have easily 15 videos now if not more) to get exactly what? Sorry, but no one can tell me he or she is "unbiased" on a topic when a site gives you $5000, or to all your employees. Aren't there laws in Canada to prevent media influence? Is bribery (and nothing else is this here) a proven means for journalists? If I give someone $5,000, I'm certainly not doing it because I'm pursuing altruistic goals as a corporation. But because I want to exert influence.   How can I take criticism of Intel from Linus or any of his employees seriously when I know that Intel has raised a lot of money to make the atmosphere "Intel friendly". I'd say the same thing if AMD was pulling this kind of nonsense. But maybe AMD doesn't need to bribe journalists (or those who think they do).    Then constantly the "buy my stuff, buy my stuff" theme at in the Wan show.... Ok, some things are funny implemented in the videos (Banana for scale), but the WAN show has developed into a QVC copy, where a not small part of time is wasted on gibberish, how great the new backpack, the screwdriver or the LTT Strapons are.   I'm also only posting this here because I'm sure my post on Reddit would have been deleted right away by an overzealous moderator (Also: Rule 8 says no controversial topics)   So yeah... I'm out

    pzspah got a reaction from Spotty in When embeds go wrong. Hundreds of News Sites and Forums now link to porn   
    A few years ago someone stole content from me, republished it word for word and without rehosting the photos. Passing it off as their own.
     
    Lets just say those photo URLs contained something wildly different when the person woke up the next day.

    pzspah reacted to CarlBar in British Tank Commander Leaks Classified Document so that War Thunder can Fix Their Game   
    Feel the need to step in here. I've followed the thread over at WT forums for a while, my inner engineering nerd enjoys reading about this stuff.
     
    He's provided enormous amounts of information over the years, (emphasis on years), and has been clear all along that he's going through his local base intelligence section to get permission to release or not release stuff and he's provided notes of things that haven't been cleared. One easy to mention example is the details in a manual of the custom materials, (not the dorchester armour packs, somthing seperate for this part of the tank), regarding the mantlet area. he can talk about their being a verity of materials in there, but the documentation isn't cleared and he's never provided it.
     
    At the same time Gaijin has repeatedly acted in bad faith adding or changing requirements for documentation anytime something useful comes up. One notable example was when a declassified document showing L27 ammunition penetration capability was dug up by a different user, Gaijin then responded by stating they'd just recently changed the rules on information for ammunition penetration parameters and this document no longer satisfies those.
     
    Gaijin have also left vehicles, (not just British), with large scale significant bugs for years at a time that have negatively impacted their performance or rendered entire features non-functional. Gaijin has not only failed to fix these, they've refused to fix them by literally stating "statistics show this vehicle is fine". 
     
    Finally if a vehicle is inaccurate or bugged they require extensive proof of this provided by the end users. beyond the work they put in in initially implementing it all further work requires the end user to do the research and reporting. And even once proven it typically takes months, somtimes years for the change to actually be made.
     
    I'm mentioning all that as a preface however to the main point about Gaijin here. They are the ones stating it's classified and they apparently got confirmation within 24 hours on this. Now this could be somthing else and i suspect thats more likely, but before you all go blowing up it's important to remember we have no confirmation or source on it still being classified beyond a single post by a moderator on the official War Thunder forums. We have no independent confirmation this is true.
     
     
    Personally the possibilities in descending order of probability from my PoV:
     
    1. The paperwork the local Intel section presume has to submit to HQ hasn't been processed or whoever gaijin contacted failed to find. Bureaucratic screw up basically. This kind of paperwork issue happens all the time in any large organisation.
     
    2. The local Intel section exceeded their authority in some fashion and told this individual he could share something when he shouldn't have. This would be a pretty major screw up, but depending on the bureaucracy behind it i could think of a few ways it can happen.
     
    3. Gaijin are lying for their own benefit here. I don;t really believe thats likely, it would boomerang on them too hard eventually.
     
    4. The Individual in question did in fact provide documents he wasn't supposed to. I find that unlikely, he's had plenty of opportunities over time to share stuff he shouldn't have and has even had to inform the thread that a document detailing some feature he hoped to be able to share has been declined.

    no it's not. I'd say the biggest problem is the mediocre gameplay and large but a bit lifelessgameworld.

    pzspah reacted to Kroon in You hear that Mr Anderson, that's the sound of inevitability.... US law firm lookining into class action against CDPR   
    CD Projekt RED is traded as OTC in US, so the share in not listed in any US trading markets and is even traded in PLN (Polska Zloty) and not USD.
     
    So my question is how can someone that bought a share in Poland sue the company in US (or any other country for that matter)? I have tried to google for more information but its a wall of information, anyone have a good reliable source of information on this?
     
    Whole thing just feel strange.
