@arda Because Windows 10 linked the accounts, right?
 
Yes, I have it linked and I want it linked. I use pin anyways
I need it without password manager because I use it on my phone. I don't have lastpass pro and opening lastpass desktop site on a 5" screen is not fun.
 
I had a relatively weak password for my Windows log in previously, because if the attacker is already entering the Windows login passwords, either I have much bigger problems than someone accessing my computer illegally (my house is being robbed!), or a password won't do much to stop them
 
I use drive encryption with a fairly secure password. Pin is to keep people (family and stuff) from looking at my stuff when I'm away.
 
@fredley Or, in some cases, of Bernie
 
@Sterno That one bewilders me. Is Bernie that photogenic?

Q: Is my connection good enough for **SERIOUS** online gaming?

YaddyVirusI have a 1mbps down connection. Here's the most recent speedtest (over WiFi) I'm looking into getting into serious gaming. Not very high end, but I'd like to squeeze my connection as much as possible. I have upcoming qualifiers for CS:GO on the 19th of August. For this particular game, I can ru...

Q: Counter Strike global offensive

Vicky Rajwhile I play cs go on LAN(local area network) on the server gets the color knife not all the players how can I fix this and get everyone color knives???

 
(I don't really have anything that'd interest them, but past has shown me that they clearly can't be trusted as they love checking the non existant Facebook conversations with my friends. Also I have an order in my pc and would rather not have it ruined by people)
 
I honestly don't know how 1MB down is even a thing anymore
 
@PrivatePansy Caption is about bernie backing Hillary
 
@Lazers2.0 This question doesn't make any sense, even if you ignore the fact that game rec is off topic
How do we know which games have servers that will connect well with where you live?
 
that's a good point
regardless of where you live though, 1MB won't cut it by a long shot
not in today's world at least
 
4:10 PM
I don't honestly think most games require a huge amount of bandwidth. It's the latency that matters.
 
maybe if I was trying to play some Quake or Descent way back in the day, 1MB would have been fine because everyone was on 1MB
 
Usually only input and some checksum are sent over, since sending the entire game state would be impossible, even with the fastest connections
 
1mbps is enough for playing csgo
 
hmm I mean I guess it depends on how/what CS:GO transfers to the server
for a game like Overwatch, 1MB wouldn't be good, as a lot more data is transferred back and forth
but maybe CS:GO is simple enough, I've never been really into it though
 
From reddit: Rate 80000 == 80 KB/s == 0.64Mb/s
Rate 80000 is max possible rate btw
@Kaizerwolf I could play overwatch on 3maps
Dammit phone, MBPS ISNT MAPS
 
4:16 PM
yeah a buddy of mine can play it on 3MBs down, but as soon as someone else hops on the network with their phone, his connection tanks

@Sterno is the button in the image of an icon
 
now you won't have to pay rent next month...?
 
4:19 PM
@Kaizerwolf yeah, that's my story

Pls
 
Wow, I'm still on the star board. I didn't even think those jokes were that good.

Q: pokemon go unable to log in through mobile data

ZaneSo i have this annoying problem that i can't connect to the pokemon go app through mobile data. It will get stuck at around 20% and I can see that my phone will have no data exchange whatsoever. When I use wifi however, i can connect perfectly fine, turn of wifi and play the game. I have the assu...

Q: Is it beneficial to layer lures on overlapping pokestops?

CodeMooseI have two pokestops accessible from my desk at work, close enough together that when both of them have lures the zones of influence overlap. Is it beneficial to put down lures on both of these stops at the same time? Will the overlapping area have an even greater chance of spawning pokemon, or ...

Q: I can't gift items to Villagers in Minecraft comes alive

LaJollaHoldenSo this is probably an easy fix, but I can't gift items to my villagers in Minecraft Comes Alive. I run the mod in 1.9 and it is telling me to press "G" to access the gift menu screen. I pressed "G" and nothing happened. Then I physically went into the Npc menu and clicked the gift button, and st...

 
gotta say, starting to actual look forward to no mans sky
 
@Wipqozn how many notifications did you get this morning?
 
@Dragonrage 34,I think. I've got a message earlier with the number.
 
4:42 PM
success
 
@Wipqozn nice
 
@Wipqozn I'm optimistic. We got a copy for the office to try out before the rest of us decide to get it.
 
what is the current Pokeman Go status?
still exploding?
still relevant?
 
@badp the queues seem smaller these days
 
still exploding, less relevant
think; Pokemon: Global Offensive
 
4:48 PM
we still are getting 67% more traffic than before Pokeman Go
 
TNW already published an opinion piece telling people to uninstall it
 
what was their reasoning?
 
I forget, pretty sure the guy was just a hater though
right the reason was that there would always be somebody with lots of money you couldn't beat
or something
and that it takes over your life
hue
 
So like any addiction.
 
yeah
could be a lot worse
 
4:50 PM
i would think that the physical movement aspects of it would limit the addiction
 
Honestly I just think Go feels really unfinished right now
It has the potential to be great but there's little depth

Q: What is the strongest attack a Pokemon can have?

WondercricketIn Pokemon Go, each Pokemon has an attack and secondary attack that have a variety of different attack power. For the longest time, the highest I've seen was 60; so I assumed that was the highest. Today I evolved a Raticate that had a 70 Hyperbeam. What is the strongest attack a Pokemon can have?

 
Outside of collecting it's just frustration
 
@twobugs It's very shallow right now, but I'm hoping it grows.
 
I saw recently that the game currently has 10% of the ideas they had for the game
 
4:53 PM
Certain stuff, like Trainer level, I'd love to see implemented to some extent in a main series Pokemon game
 
It works to keep me entertained, and I really have been walking a lot more than when I played Ingress.
 
@murgatroid99 and only 1% of the bugs fixed
 
I'm waiting for players to try to walk in specific patterns to manipulate memory register values in Pokemon Go.
 
the main server is just a bunch of potatoes linked together with rj45 cables
 
It's Google Cloud
 
4:54 PM
also the Pokémon Trainer Club is down if anyone uses it
 
Where are the damned pokemon hospitals?
 
@murgatroid99 so Pokémon GO took Google Cloud offline?
 
We need those scattered about.
 
@Dragonrage nah my stuff is still up
 
agreed, I need more space in my inventory for more balls
 
4:55 PM
@MadMAxJr ikr? PokéCenters are like a corner stone of Pokémon
 
not revives and potions
 
@twobugs It is. They're adding a lot to it.
 
@Dragonrage i am drowning in potions
 
Gyms are nice, chugging 3 potions after a fight for one pokemon is not.
 
@Frank maybe while they are at it, they could have someone fix the bugs
 
4:56 PM
@Dragonrage No. But it's a very large scale application, even among enterprise Cloud customers
 
@GodEmperorDune i have like 100 hyper potions and revives
 
@Dragonrage naah, they're just adding more bugs
 
@Dragonrage RIP @twobugs, welcome @onebug
 
Also I totally expect Rare Candy to be a thing in the store to auto-evo a pokemon.
 
are there just @twobugs or are there more?
 
4:56 PM
@Dragonrage Most of that is just server instability.
 
aaaah all the pings
 
They're planning on adding Poke Centers, from what I understand.
 
They're aiming for at least 1 bug per pokemon per day
 
Pokemon Go is live in Japan. It will become things.
 
now I know what @Wipqozn feels like
 
4:56 PM
1 bug pokemon per day
 
@Frank but battling is so lame right now
 
Ingress had physical kiosks in Japan. Pokemon Go will be a thing.
 
This is the biggest mobile game ever, and most mobile games don't have every user ping the server every second for hours every day
 
@KevinvanderVelden this is true. whenever you add code, you add bugs, unless you are Mr. Skeet
 
its getting to the point where every gym is a vaporeon or dragonite
 
4:57 PM
@GodEmperorDune At least you CAN battle.
I'm still nowhere near the strength needed to do so.
 
Vaporeon isnt even THAT great on defense
 
@Frank early on i had pokemon in a CP range where i could try. now i don't even bother
 
@twobugs he is great on offense, but iirc blastoise is better on defense
 
there was a snorlax near me last night, I missed it by about 10 minutes but every gym near is now owned by valor with 2 or 3 1600+CP snorlaxs on top
 
Traffic on 6th street bridge came to a stop today as apparently a gigantic virtual Snorlax is blocking passage of Pokemon Go avatars.
 
5:04 PM
Welp I did a dumb on my phone
 
@Coronus Nice
@Dragonrage Popular?
 
At least everything is backed up to an account I think!
\o/
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
YAAAAAAAAAAAY
Oh god I wonder if the total factory reset will reset activation
 
i almost have a guru badge for one of my answers
 
Not that I have any other option at this point
WELP
 
5:12 PM
> Reset all user data? This can NOT be undone
> No
> No
> ...
> Yes
> No
> No
the actual android factory reset menu
That's hilarious
 
I love it
The only thing better is a space invaders minigame where you have to shoot down the "YES" ship out of a ton of NO ships
 
All right, it should start up now
And not crash and burn trying to load System.UI
 
@Unionhawk what if crash and burn is part of the SOP?
 
It isn't
Well it says I have LTE
And the activation is good
So that's good
Oh god it reset to KitKat didn't it
welp
 
@Sterno shit i have to change all my passwords now
 
5:22 PM
@GodEmperorDune was it hunter42?
 
This is fun
We're having fun right now
 
Can you guys help me ID a game?
 
@Dragonrage nah it was cc @Wipqozn
@StrixVaria we require MOAR artifacts
 
It's an online multiplayer game, kind of like worms but more abstract graphics, with tanks.
I think it's fairly recent.
@GodEmperorDune There's a reason I'm not asking on the site.
 
@StrixVaria world of tanks?
 
5:23 PM
@StrixVaria VTC no artifact :P
 
I CAN LAUNCH PROGRAMS WITH MY VOICE
THIS IS TRULY A GOLDEN AGE
 
I've seen LIRIK play it on Twitch within the past month.
 
@StrixVaria there was an opportunity to annoy a mod and I TOOK IT
 
@StrixVaria oh man, I think I know that game
 
@StrixVaria Hang on, this guy?
 
5:24 PM
@GodEmperorDune No, it's 2d side view just like worms.
 
Pretty sure I've een @GnomeSlice talk about it before
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, that's it.
 
Shellshock Live
 
@Unionhawk Thanks!
 
@Unionhawk cc @Wipqozn lololol shells
 
5:24 PM
@GodEmperorDune oh now I get it
That's funny
Good one @GodEmperorDune
 
Come on phone
come back to me
NO GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO STOP WORKING
 
I wonder if Civ VI will have a President Trump DLC
 
OH YES, BACKUP
THANK YOU
 
@Dragonrage I think I played that with @GnomeSlice once, long ago.
 
5:26 PM
@Wipqozn wonder of the world: best wall of mexico?
 
@KutuluMike Oh my zues yes
@KutuluMike, you're alright
 
> Restoring...
 
For some reason I assumed that game would be free to play.
Looks fun, though.
 
Oh shit this is going to cost data isn't it
Dangit
Oh well
 
5:29 PM
I should have set this thing to restore no apps
 
@Unionhawk you live and learn champ
 
oh @arda will be pleased with this turn of events
 
What, with me breaking my phone by being a complete idiot?
@Kaizerwolf HANGING ON THE EEEDDDDDDDGE OF TOMORROWWWWWWWW (cc @twobugs)
 
@Unionhawk no, that is irrelevant. see 9 messages up
 
I'll set it up at home actually
 
5:32 PM
coulda been worse!
 
since a total restore will be on the order of like 28 GB
Or, oh wait, that's fine too
 
@Sterno the comments on that page are ultra paranoid. they seem to not understand the laziness vs secure slider and where it sits for most users. I'm happy to pay a little money for a good enough password manager rather than use their ultra secure opensource thing where you need to exchange new private keys every time you want to login to a site
 
@GodEmperorDune gotta find the best balance between usability and security. I'm not about to waste a boatload of time just to make sure absolutely no one, not even me, knows my password

Q: How does the Hunter Rank Range work?

DanmakuGrazerWhen making a Hunters Hub, it's possible to specify a minimum and maximum HR for hunters who are allowed to enter. However, I've never seen it work, with HR 1 hunters being able to join my Hubs with 4 or 5 as a minimum requirement. Is that not how it works?

Q: Does CP determine the aggressiveness of a wild Pokemon?

KaizerwolfI have started to notice a potential pattern with wild Pokemon. It would appear that the higher their CP, the more aggressive they are; that is, they jump more, dodge more, or "attack" more. Is this true, or am I just imagining things? Are there specific levels of CP that certain behaviors are mo...

 
yeah, lastpass is good enough for me, plus if a password gets compromised it is easy enough to change it in one place and not worry about it anymore
 
5:36 PM
I've never used a password manager, but I should probably look into it
 
@Dragonrage I think this fact waas already known tohe bridge
 
i just use my own passwords that are like 20+ characters
 
today I learned that OSX has a dark mode option for the menu bar, and I love it
 
@Wipqozn it had not been linked in my presence, therefore it was not known.
 
@GodEmperorDune All you need to do is memorize all 700 of your 50 character passwords, man! gg ez!
 
5:41 PM
I use Keepass because it has a great name
 
I need to redo all of my passwords ever
 
Stop visiting so many porn sites and you'll be fine.
 
That's rarely a bad idea
 
Keep Ass
i love it
 
@Sterno but what use is a web browser then?
is asking for a friend.... of course >.> <.<
 
5:45 PM
of course

Translation

Proposed Q&A site for everything related to translation from one language to another. Professional translators, amateur translators, people who want something translated for them and people who want someone to review their translations.

Currently in definition.

 
counter proposition to name it "Lost in Translation"
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment This is a neat idea
Translation is a really interesting thing
 
the only problem I forsee is the difficult of typing out things in a foreign language for someone to translate
 
5:49 PM
@twobugs converting sounds and squiggles you understand to other sounds and squiggles so other people can understand them and vice versa
 
like, "hey, I found this ancient hyroglyphic tablet, and I want to know what it says" but you can't draw those out in text
 
@Kaizerwolf pictures?
 
that's an exaggerated example, but still. I do also like the idea though
 
@Kaizerwolf I'm reading it more as an SE for discussing translation works
Which is a pretty good idea, I think
 
@Kaizerwolf embedded image?
 
5:51 PM
There's a lot of philosophy of translation that goes into any significant work
 
true
 
though probably they would ban "translate this pls" questions pretty quick
 
can you translate this to english pls?
 
well, one of the example questions is: I've stumbled upon this text on a wall in Moscow: *курить запрещено*. What does it mean?
 
If you want to troll them just ask them to translate Linear A
 
5:52 PM
so I figured one of the goals of the site was to be a lengthier google translate
 
i found this "lorem ipsum..."
 
@Kaizerwolf no smoking
 
good to know if I ever find myself in Russia @Dragonrage
 
@Kaizerwolf Okay, I think that's not a good thing for them to include
 
@Dragonrage -1, all russian text needs to include "comrade"
 
5:54 PM
I mean, it'll probably be refined in the definition phase. Maybe they can make it work
 
i think most language sites already ban translations
 
@GodEmperorDune no comrade smoking
 
> "It's these Jesus thing."
The DNC emails are fascinating
 
wat
 
@twobugs they are pretty sure russia is behind it now
 
6:01 PM
@GodEmperorDune Not really surprising given how much Trump wants to kiss Putin
At the very least, Russia stands to gain from disrupting the US political process
 
hopefully it isn't bad practice to raise two flags on the same answer
 
@Dragonrage it is a terrible practice
we are confiscating your rep and kicking you out
 
i mean, it wasn't an answer, then i saw it had personal info.
so I raised a mod flag after I had already flagged as naa
even if it is deleted, I would imagine it is best to remove personal info from it.
 
!!!DOUBLE FLAG WARNING!!!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
 
actually it doesn't look like my mod flag went through for some reason
 
6:08 PM
Area51 is set up so differently from any other SE, it's really throwing me off
 
@Kaizerwolf it is, and it is confusing
probably because aliens built it
 
that makes sense

Q: What was the first JRPG to use Auto Battle / Combat?

This choice allows the player to sit back and watch as the battle unfolds while the AI controls the player's party. I kno...

I propose we change the rep on Arqade to CP.
you know, so we could figure out who could beat the crap out of someone, better
 
I propose we ban all users.
 
ooh I like it
 
@Dragonrage hahaha.gif
 
Just to confirm, Kaz Wolfe and Kaizerwolf are different people, right?
 
6:24 PM
@StrixVaria yes
 
Having two k-named wolf-themed usernames appear in quick succession is unacceptably confusing, so one of you should change your name or something.
 
that all depends on perspective, I suppose
 
@StrixVaria different user accounts at least
 
nah I'm not Kaz Wolfe
Kaizerwolf is my only handle for online things, aside from certain places where it was taken already, in which case I'm also KaizerwolfAudio
 
I didn't even realize there were two different names. I just read them as the same and thought it was one person.
 
I also ignore about 80% of Bridge chat, so there's that.
 
I tried to look at @Sterno's ignore list and my browser crashed

@badp that's what happens when you try to look at @'; drop table

@Dragonrage I'm seriously impressed that you edited that "completely broken game" PoGo question, that was a hell of a lot of work
 
@Kaizerwolf i had to take my frustration of getting a stupid unreproducible bug to fix out on something

Why can't I hold all these dupes
