  • Used to play Apex Legends a lot, so could give some reasons why.

    A core part of Apex’s monetization is “keep the core gameplay F2P accessible and make super expensive skins for those who can pay”. The game would put items worth around 300$ multiple times in a single season. After that as long as the gameplay’s solid; F2P players wouldn’t find a reason to not play; and whales could flex their 300$ death box to all these players interacting with them. Hell, give F2P players tasks that take too long to unlock new skins; and maybe they’ll toss a few bucks in too. You’ve got yourself a neat money loop, and players are happy.

    As for cheating; most people i see cheating does it as a way of doing the unexpected in a video game. Cheating is not enjoyable to most if you do it all the time; but the cheat providers offer cheats with shorter time spans to hook the people that want to do just that. I recall an interview done with a cheat developer for a different yet similarly popular game, and they’ve said most of their sales come through these.



  • While I migrated to sway on my desktop, I couldn’t on my laptop due to sway not seeing my laptop keyboard as a valid input source.

    libinput debug-events shows the keyboard and the inputs sent to it on the keyboard which is Wayland’s keyboard input library (so i can say its not caused by Wayland), but when i type swaymsg -t get_inputs it does not. I couldn’t find a single solution for this so, I’m using i3wm on it until i can fix it.







  • If I were a parent; I’d only install a DNS filter against malware/ads to any device my kid uses until my kid is capable of understanding how to detect one. While I can teach them how to use the internet; it should be up to my kids to determine what they decide to do with it in the end.

    But I do know the risks of having an infiltrated device on my local network; and I’m not having that.





  • Change email password just to be on the safe side. Make sure no device connected to your local internet is compromised. Give a Malwarebytes scan to your PC and look up your IoT devices (if you have any) to see if they had any history of vulnerabilities.

    Do NOT use same passwords on multiple sites, or at the very least, salt your password based on the site. (add characters based on what site you’re visiting). For maximum security, use a password manager like KeePass.

    Do NOT use a similar password to your very crucial passwords (your email, goverment sites etc.) anywhere no matter what.

    Inform macys about your account being compromised; if your credit card was charged; issue a chargeback.
