  • When it comes to small expensive electronics, you can never be too careful.

    I was still in school when the PSP came out, and I had one on launch. I was dumb and was taking it to school daily, but I was very careful not to leave it out of my sight. One day in science class, it was stolen from right under me as it was inside my backpack, which was under my chair the entire class.

    At the time, I blamed the 2 trouble makers in front of me since at points I was facing the back of the class for a group activity. I found out years later it was the Mormon next to me I trusted, who I can only assume expertly unzipped my bag and slipped it out while nobody was paying attention. I never got that PSP back, and I ended up buying another one later, both with my own money… It was a brutal reality check that taught me a handful of lessons in life


  • It works as long as you can get at the authentication key that generates the one time codes. Usually you scan a QR code, but sometimes you have to paste it in as a string.

    How you get that private authentication key can vary by service. For example, you can install steam mobile on an android emulator and use an open source program to extract the private authentication key.

    Everyone in these comments needs Jesus lol. Frozen pizza sucks ass, and we only eat it because it’s convenient. It’s not even cheaper than take out anymore with inflation. I can get a 3 topping large carry out from Dominos for like $7-8 (I forget), which is the same damn price anymore for a tiny mediocre frozen pizza from the grocery store. If you really want it NOW, go to Costco’s food court and get huge ass slices for $2 each.

    EDIT: Apparently I need to provide some sources since I’m being downvoted to hell

    Dominos nationwide has always offered carryout coupons. At the moment, my local Dominos has the following 3:

    For $7.99 each, carry out all pizzas with 1 topping on any of our 5 crusts - $7.99
    1 Large 3 Topping Pizza – Carryout Only - $10.99
    Large Pizza with up to 5 Toppings - Carryout Only - $13.99
    

    I’ll concede the 3 topping is not the $7-8 I remember, but if we just roll with the Large 1 topping, which IS $7.99, and we specifically take a look at the quantity of food you get by referencing the nutritional facts: https://cache.dominos.com/olo/6_131_2/assets/build/market/US/_en/pdf/DominosNutritionGuide.pdf

    We can quickly figure out the total calories in a 14" Dominos carry out Pepperoni pizza for $7.99 with a coupon that’s always available.

    160 calories - 14" Hand Tossed
     10 calories - Pizza Sauce
    100 calories - Regular Cheese
     40 calories - Pepperoni
    310 calories total times 8 slices
    

    = 2,480 calories

    So @samus12345@lemmy.world I have no idea what you’re talking about when you say a large 3 topping is $26.34. Clearly you don’t know how coupons work.

    @frickineh@lemmy.world if you go look at the total calories in your Totino’s Party Pizza, you’ll find the whole box is around 600 calories for $2 at Walmart so if you buy 4 of them to match the calories in the Dominos pizza, it comes out to the same $8 you’d spend at Dominos. You can also go to Costco and spend those same $2 for 710 calories of 1/6 of a Costco Pepperoni pizza.

    All of this is to say your average freezer aisle grocery store pizza has around 750 calories for around $7, which comes out to roughly 100 calories per dollar. You get much better value doing takeout from Dominos, and if you’re going to eat the frozen pizza as soon as you get home anyways like the Tweet suggested, you might as well get more bang for your buck.
