People are saying it’s an individual issue but I will say that kids who grew up on iPads and iPhones definitely are less tech literate when it comes to using PCs. Utilizing file explorer or even a command line (gasp) is completely out of their comfort zone.

If something doesn’t work like it should, they generally call tech support to figure it out rather than Google and solve it themselves.

This is generally. I taught fifth grade math and science for five years and the lack of a true computer resource class has really hurt kids. I had to spend 4-5 weeks each year teaching 10-11 year olds how to use computers. What copy and paste is, how to sign on to programs, how to attach a document, how to navigate a web portal, how to type on a keyboard, how to navigate Google slides/powerpoint or Google docs/word, etc because before fifth grade they had iPads instead of Chromebooks. Out of the 40-50 students I’d have each year, maybe 2 would know how to do even three of these things.

Most didn’t even know how to sign on because they were able to use faceid or use a QR code to sign in before fifth grade.

The only pro that you make here that has anything to do with wireless headphones is #1, being untethered.

Noice cancelling, an EQ, and audio quality have nothing to do with being wireless.

Regarding latency, wireless mice have less latency than wired mice so I’m sure it’s possible but not with Bluetooth as the tech currently stands. Mic quality and pass through again, aren’t wireless-exclusive features.

It requires a front-loaded investment in infrastructure, which means lower returns for a few quarters.

Most companies wanted people to use horses for as long as possible because that meant they had to adapt, change, and invest. Why do something that’s difficult when you can just do the same thing? This works out when you don’t really have competition because the cost to enter the market is so high due to decades of mergers and acquisitions, consolidating all means of production and materials to a select-few companies.

There are more efficient, greener ways to go about producing pretty much everything we use that doesn’t destroy the earth. Problem is is that it’s not as profitable for share holders.

[–] toxic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I don’t see either of those happening because there’s no short-term profit. Also, unintended consequences.

The bird is also looking at another bird.

That’s what it seems like. I’m definitely going to be doing it, if only to keep the gameplay a little fresh once I stop leveling multiple times within an hour and the quests take a bit longer.

Most people didn’t create content and don’t interact with it (ie most people are lurkers). Take it upon yourself to comment and interact with posts and others will almost always join in and have something to say.

It’ll be interesting to see how many users stick with the apps that are continuing. I think the devs are crazy to think that even more than 5% of the users they had will continue to use the app for $5/month. Especially when you can’t view NSFW content.

Think of how many ‘users’ are bots that likely won’t continue to work since no one would pay the monthly sub to bot Reddit like in the past.

Hunting log looks perfect. It’s nice that it tells you the general area where the mobs are located.

Great to know. I definitely want to have a tank/healer/dps so I can swap when I want. Being an arcanist is great for the healer/dps aspect and I’m going to go paladin for the tank.

Mainly for the queues so that I can pop it instantly rather than waiting 15-30 min for a dps queue.

 

Playing through the game for the first time as an arcanist and I’ve reached level 28, though I’ve only hit level 21 on the MSQ.

I’ve constantly being level sync’d and was wondering if it might be better for me to level up another class so I’m not constantly being unable to use my skills.

 

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve played MS. I saw a friend on earlier and wanted to give it another shot. Are there any recommended resources for me to use to give myself the easiest onboarding process to get up to speed again?
