BF2S Forums First World Problems

Getting sick of YouTube auto-playing my favorites list.  I never wanted playlisting in the first place, I wish we could just fucking disable it altogether.

I think the worst part about it is surprise ear rape from ads before the next video right after you just got done watching a quiet video.

Get an ad-blocker buddy ol pal

I'm always flabbergasted when I see YouTube (or an internet browser in general) on someone's machine with no ad blocker.

Incidentally, does anyone use AdBlock+ for Android?
How demanding is it on the resources?
Are there any other drawbacks or risks?

I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 on my rooted LG Optimus G (E975).

The people who live in the south should be embarrassed of their quality of life. I am driving to Florida. I can get 4G anywhere in New Jersey but once I entered North Carolina I haven't been able to get anything higher than 2G. Georgia and the Carolinas are complete dead zones.

plenty o fish.....

Works every time.

Some Russian/Poles hacked my BF3/Origin account. They changed my account settings to Polish, played some BF3 before I noticed (not logged onto into in months). Then used some Candian guys paypal to buy a copy of FIFA 14 on my Origin this weekend, they hadn't hadn't changed my passwords or anything though so logged in changed passwords added the verification shit and contacted EA.
They refunded the paypal (whose ever's it was) and it's all sorted.

This goes for rural Pennsylvania in the Appalachians as well.  Most of the time it's either Edge or nothing at all, with a pinch of 3G scattered here and there, and 4G and LTE being nowhere to be found.

On day shift at work, I've even dropped to GPRS before due to the cell towers at BWI(half a mile from where I work) likely being overloaded, normally at night I have a constant 4G or LTE connection depending on how far into the building I am

Same exact thing happened to me, they were apparently playing my BF4 and adding weird people I'd never seen before to my friends list.  He successfully used my bank account to buy FIFA 14 with Rubles drawn from my American bank account and changed my real name to something like Timothy Greenfield, lol.  He tried to pre-order The Sims 4 but too much stuff didn't match in the billing info by that point so it didn't go through.  I couldn't even change the password cuz he apparently fucked with that too so I had to contact EA support to get it all straightened out and they even gave me a 15% discount coupon code for the trouble.

It really shouldn't have been that easy to get hacked in the first place though

Did they let you keep the FIFA?

Did they at least give you a coupon for all the trouble

and stuff (also added the thing where it texts me a code before I can access the account from an unknown device)

Apparently, EA implemented that 2-step verification completely clandestinely.
It just appeared hidden in Origin's settings, with no announcement.

When Valve added Steam Guard, they had it in their pop-up news for a week and made it mandatory for many things.

steam was supposed to do a lot of things

Well I'm buggered if I can get Titanfall to work with my router/modem.

DHCP, port forwarding, firewall port opening all done per spec but nada.

Works fine with the router/modem firewall off...

Got caught by a State Trooper for doing 90 in a 65 last night on the way to work but he gave me the benefit of the doubt and only wrote 84 on the ticket so that I would only get 2 points and a $160 ticket instead of 4 points and $290.

Still probably gotta get myself to go to court so I can get the points dropped.

He also gave me some kind of little recruitment brochure for the State Troopers and I get the feeling they don't just give them out to everybody
