  • Ive been using DNS filtering for years and many sites actually collapse the advert space when it’s not used, and while a plug-in certainly can improve the UI, the DNS blocking also disables the resulting tracking, the network requests still happen with the plugins.

    Additionally DNS filtering happens outside of a browser as well, so will block ads in literally every app as well, when setup correctly it’s also device independent.

    When I still ran my own PiHole, there where days where as much as 60% of the traffic was adverts and trackers.

    DNS filtering also extends to blocking things like malware and spam domains









  • I definitely heard about some of the Jedi issues, but I had 1 crash in my entire 20+ hour fidelity play through. No hiccups, glitches, stutters or anything.

    Al lot of what I heard was things like frame drops, but fidelity is capped at 30FPS, I much prefer to play a game at its best looking as I am some strange mutant of a creature that has absolutely no perception of frame rate.

    I could not, and still cannot tell the difference between my 60 and 120hz iPhones. My 120hz Mac is connected to a 60hz external and I can see the difference in colours, but that’s about it.

    I suppose it’s possible I may have had some of those issues and and was just completely oblivious to it.

    Hogwarts I also quite enjoyed, some thing got a bit repetitive, but that had was less with the story and more with the trophies, and that’s a trophy side effect with many games, but I enjoyed it enough for it to be the first game I actually cared slough to platinum.

    I’ve actually only ever backed 1 kickstarter and got the thing, but ya I’d probably never do it again. This was back way before they got the reputation of being a great way to pay for an illusion.
