Fallout has been a great game for those wanting to invest heavily in the role-playing aspect of a game. Fallout 76 and its groups are an example of how the internet can be fantastic.

IGN released a good video on some of the players of Fallout 76, including the Wasteland Theatre Company featured in the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0wccxcmrlA

Enabling "Voice Isolation" might help: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphb54d5dee2/io...

I don't think the microphones are great but I've found this helps.

A version of this is also available on iOS (I think since iOS 15.0), although it only shows the RPM: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212313

This tool is also mentioned in that page, albeit briefly.

Re:Show HN: Safari Web Extension that redirects AMP on Monday September 20, 2021 @02:35PM (#28597148)
Hi HN!

I’ve created a Safari Web Extension that redirects AMP pages to their canonical version, effectively disabling AMP in Safari.

It started as a project for myself but over the last few months has improved from only supporting Google search results to supporting all AMP pages. Thanks to feedback from beta testers I’ve added special support for some websites, such as Google News, Yahoo! JAPAN, and Yandex. Before working on Overamped I wasn’t even aware of Yandex Turbo, Yandex’s equivalent of AMP!

I’d love any feedback around what I feel are my weakest areas: marketing and design. I’m happy enough with the website and App Store page for release but feel there’s a lot I could do to improve them.

I agree working in a wider range of ambient temperatures would be nice, but they do have a support article stating the temperature should be over 10°C, so I wouldn't say they've not tested it.

Note that the iOS devices work from above 0°C (https://support.apple.com/en-sg/HT201678) so maybe improvements will be brought to laptops too.

It's a blurry line since the content isn't consumed in the app, but you can buy digital codes for games (such as Nintendo Switch games) in the Amazon app.
Re:Starbucks pauses Advertising on all Social Media on Sunday June 28, 2020 @05:59PM (#23672418)
As someone that's a real sucker for advertising the adverts for new drinks always work on me, which make me go to Starbucks when I wouldn't class myself as a regular.

Not only is this easier to read (IMO), but it is typically "more efficient than activating each constraint individually": https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/nslayoutcons...
