  • Origins was first AC game I played. 3 months after completing origins, which had bored me to death, I tried my hand at Odessey. The gameplay was exactly same. It felt like I was playing the same game again. Exact same mechanics and combat style. Uninstalled within half an hour.

    Then I tried Unity and Syndicate, because people praise them so much. And I realised that Ubisoft has been remaking the same game over and over for more than a decade now. They just change the setting and rehash everything. The animations in Unity look exactly same as Odessey.

    I had the same fear when I picked up Miles Morales, that it would feel the same as previous Spidey game. But they quickly introduced a few new mechanics which made the game feel ever so slightly different.



  • I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

    I download torrent files into a folder. My script picks it up, identifies whether it is movie, TV, music, Games, ebooks, or something else. Based on this it selects the right folder. Then calls Transmission API and adds the torrent with the relevant path.

    In case of movies and TV shows, it then calls the transmission APIs to rename the files properly. This way I can have my folders well organised and continue seeding without the need of creating duplicates.

    This setup works quite well. The only fear I have is the transmission remote GUI for Windows hasn’t been updated in 4 years. It works quite well, but it’s only a matter of time before it stops working.

    Should I consider another client?





  • Bro, you don’t really know anything about USB

    The port being USB-C has nothing to do with USB 3.0

    The port supporting fast charging has nothing to do with it being USB 3.0

    Unless you have transferred data over the wire and seen USB 3 speeds, you can’t claim it to be USB 3 based on circumstances alone.

    On the other hand, I can totally imagine that 99% people never transfer any data over the wire anymore. Airdrop is fast and convenient if you have a Mac and other solutions exist if you don’t. You can easily get 10 MBps+ transfer rates over Wi-Fi and that works fine for most people, if they ever need to transfer data over to a PC anyway. So I’m guessing Apple just took what majority would accept and went with it, just like any other company does these days.


  • That was, of course, just a random example of a job that cannot be done from home. A lot of jobs do require physical presence of people, that’s all I was trying to say.

    Of course, a milkman would also require to travel to and fro their place of work, dunno why they cannot be on a bus for that.
