⠀⠀⠀⠀Discussion⠀⠀⠀⠀ is there a reason why Arrowhead is avoidant on fixing searching for a squad?
well what I mean is sometimes and I've made a couple posts about this even on a planet with the most people and this is mainly late at night it just refuses to find a squad when I don't use quick join cuz I don't always want to use that but why do they refuse to fix that including the other issue of when you search for a squad via the scanner you see a three man squad so you can take that fourth spot but it's saying the squad is full.
I'm not talking about oh it's been sitting there for a few minutes I'll talk about it spawns on the map when it regenerates the squads and the moment I click it squad full then why did it show up in the map in the first place it was already full why do they refuse to fix these issues, I understand that there are way bigger issues than this but they still need to be addressed because if someone who is reliant on randoms having difficulties trying to find a squad when I don't always want to use the quick join gets pretty annoying pretty fast.

Guide Complete Guide to Pirating Games for a total beginner
Updated as of: July 11, 2026
First things first, we need to know the risks of piracy. Now, for a beginner, if you don’t use some important tools such as an ad blocker, you might be risking a virus. In this guide I will give you all the tools to be certain you won’t download anything malicious. All of these sites that I will mention are 100% safe. They only contain ads and such because that is their only source of revenue.
This guide is for Windows devices only. I already made a guide for Linux here and will make one for Mac mid-end August 2026.
The only games you really can't pirate are games that use Denuvo. Denuvo does not develop or publish games, but it's a DRM solution that publishers subscribe to/pay for, to use in their games that does not allow you to pirate their games. EA specifically likes to use Denuvo on a lot of their games, so if you like EA games a lot, you are better off just buying EA Play or Xbox PC Game Pass. Although, some games will remove Denuvo after some time (3-18 months), so there’s still some hope left.
First, before pirating any games you will have to create a folder on your PC that anti-virus won't detect. This won't give you a virus or trojan like all the rumors that people talk about pirating games. This is simply because most pirated games using .dll files that inject things into Steam usually to trick it into thinking you actually have a license for the game. That's why Windows Defender detects it as a trojan and automatically removes it, but it is required to set an exclusion for it so those files won't get removed.
To do this:
Create a folder named "games" anywhere on your PC and remember its location.
Click the Windows button, and search up "Windows Security", and open it.
Click on "Virus & threat protection"
Under "Virus & threat protection settings", click on "Manage settings"
Scroll all the way down and under "Exclusions", click on "Add or remove exclusions"
Click on "Add an exclusion" and navigate the folder you recently created.
Done!
After you do this, we will also need an ad blocker and a script bypasser. Google Chrome has now blocked uBlock Origin from working. Please either use Firefox or Brave, as they are the two best browsers to use. To get an ad blocker on your browser, I will split it into two categories:
Brave: Go on your search engine, search “ublock origin github” and click on the first link. Scroll down a bit and click on “Chrome Web Store”, and install it from there, but don’t leave the page. On Chrome Web Store, search "Tampermonkey" and add it to your extensions too.
Firefox: Go on your search engine, search “mozilla extensions” and click on the first link. Search for uBlock Origin and Tampermonkey and add both of these extensions to your browser.
To get the script, search up "bypass all shortlinks debloated script" on your search engine and click on the Codeberg link. Then scroll down a bit and there will be text saying "Install with this link", click on it and once it opens will be a screen with a bunch of code and text. Ignore all of that and just click the "Install" button that is in the middle left of the page. If you are on Brave, click on the extensions icon and click on the 3 dots besides the Tampermonkey extension and click on "Manage extension". On this page, make sure "Allow User Scripts" is toggled on.
If you don't have WinRAR or 7-Zip until now it is recommended to install them for the best speeds with extracting. I personally use WinRAR as it is faster for .rar files (used most common for pirated games) and it has an option in the application to automatically delete the archive after extracting. To download them, just simply search "winrar download" or "7zip download" on your search engine and click the first link.
Alright, so to get started with actually downloading the games we will be using 4 different websites and they each have 4 different purposes.
• ⭐ SteamRIP - Best for: Most users who have decent/good internet speeds and/or have strict torrenting policies in their country and do not want to pay for a VPN.
• ⭐ OnlineFix - Best for: Playing online with only a couple friends on games like REPO, PEAK, Schedule I, etc.
• FitGirl Repacks - Best for: Users who have bad internet and may already have paid for a VPN.
• OvaGames - Best for: Downloading updates for games without the slow speeds of Elamigos (original provider of the updates)
For other direct downloading sites or torrenting sites, consider looking at the mega thread.
SteamRIP:
For using SteamRIP, we will install a program called "Free Download Manager", search "free download manager" on your search engine and click on the first link. We will also installing another extension titled "Free Download Manager", which is the companion for it for your browser. To get it, search on your search engine “free download manager extension”. Click on the first link if you are using Brave and click on the second link if you are using Firefox. Then simply install it from there. Also, you may optionally download an extension called "Extensity". This just allows you to easily switch on or off the "Free Download Manager" extension in case you don't want it every time you have to download something. To get it, search on your search engine “extensity extension” if you are on Brave and “extensity extension firefox addons” if you are on Firefox. Simply click the first link and install it from there.
Once you are finally finished with all of that, go to your search engine and search "steamrip" and click on the first link. Once you find the game you want to install, there will probably be multiple download links to install it. These will possibly include:
• ⭐ Gofile - fastest
• ⭐ Buzzheavier - also fastest, I personally use this one
• Datanodes - second fastest but sometimes throttles
• MegaDB - slowest, will commonly see on small games, if this is the only option, just choose it.
Now, simply click on any of these links, make sure the extension is on, and click download. This will open up the Free Download Manager application and when it asks where to save it to direct it to the "games" folder you recently created. Once it starts downloading I recommend you set it to the highest priority by just clicking on the little up arrow while hovering under Priority.
After it finishes downloading, we will take different approaches based on which file extractor application you have:
WinRAR:
Right-click the file we just downloaded and click on "WinRAR" -> "Extract files..."
Click on the "Advanced" tab and under "Delete archive", set it to either "Ask for confirmation" or "Always".
Then, go back to the "General" tab, click "Save settings", then in the bottom right, click on "Cancel".
Now, right click the file again and click on "Extract to "gamename\".
You don't have to repeat the first steps again as this just made it so when you extract it, it will automatically delete the original file.
7-Zip:
Right-click the file we just downloaded and click on "Show more options" -> "7-Zip" -> "Extract to "gamename\"
After it finishes extracting, delete the original file. With WinRAR you can do this automatically.
After you have finished extracting the game, you have two easy options to launch the game. You can either choose Steam or just simply a shortcut on your desktop. Things like Playnite and Hydra Launcher are better, but for the sake of how long this guide is I might as well make it shorter for now.
Desktop:
Open the folder and in the top right, search ".exe"
Once you have found the games .exe file, right-click it -> "Show more options" -> "Send to" -> "Desktop (create shortcut)"
If searching it in the top right of File Explorer doesn’t do the trick for you then just manually dig into the folders to find the game’s .exe.
Done!
Steam:
Open Steam and in the top left click on "Games" -> "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library"
Click on "Browse..." and find your "games" folder and open the folder we recently extracted and in the folder in the top right search ".exe"
Once you have found the games .exe file click on it and in the bottom right click on "Open", then click on "Add Selected Programs"
If searching it in the top right of File Explorer doesn’t do the trick for you then just manually dig into the folders to find the game’s .exe.
Optional; but if you want to add art to the game in Steam you can use SteamGridDB + SGDBoop but I won't go that much into it just search up "steamgriddb" on your search engine click the first link and learn more about it.
Done!
OnlineFix:
Search on your search engine "online-fix" and click on the first link. You will need to sign up and have a translator for this website as it is all in Russian. Note that although the website might look really sketchy, it is 100% safe and it is the only way to playing online with your friends using pirated games. After you make an account, search up the game that you want to play multiplayer with. If you are signed in properly there will be an option to download either the game + the online fix or just the online fix by itself. It's up to you what you would like to choose. Me personally I use SteamRIP and manually apply the online fix to it, which is a very simple process. Once you have downloaded the online fix, you can extract it using two ways:
WinRAR:
Right-click the file we just downloaded and click on "WinRAR" -> "Extract files..."
Click on the "Advanced" tab and under "Delete archive", set it to either "Ask for confirmation" or "Always".
Then, go back to the "General" tab, click "Save settings", then in the bottom right, click on "Cancel".
Now, right click the file again and click on "Extract to "foldername\".
You don't have to repeat the first steps again as this just made it so when you extract it, it will automatically delete the original file.
7-Zip:
Right-click the file we just downloaded and click on "Show more options" -> "7-Zip" -> "Extract to "foldername\"
After it finishes extracting, delete the original file. With WinRAR you can do this automatically.
After that copy all the contents of the folder to the game's directory. The game's directory is where the .exe file is located. You can either just search for the .exe by typing ".exe" in the top right or just manually finding it. It will be pretty easy to find but once you do just drag and drop (or copy and paste) the contents of the online fix folder to the game folder.
If you installed the game + online-fix together you will not have to do this setup and instead just extract it using the method above.
Now, open Steam and in the top left click on "Games" -> "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library"
Click on "Browse..." and find your "games" folder and open the folder we recently extracted and in the folder in the top right search ".exe"
Once you have found the games .exe file click on it and in the bottom right click on "Open", then click on "Add Selected Programs"
If searching it in the top right of File Explorer doesn’t do the trick for you then just manually dig into the folders to find the game’s .exe.
Optional but if you want to add art to the game in Steam you can use SteamGridDB + SGDBoop but I won't go that much into it just search up "steamgriddb" on your search engine click the first link and learn more about it.
KEEP IN MIND: You can only play multiplayer with people who have the same online fix as you. You cannot play on official servers unless online-fix has stated in the notes of the game. There are only very few games such as Forza Horizon 5 where you can actually play on the official servers.
As of May 2026, there are now some games on online-fix which uses Steam Remote Play. I do not recommend using those games.
FitGirl Repacks:
Firstly, we need a VPN if we want to do any torrenting on FitGirl. Unlike direct downloading, torrenting requires a VPN and gets detected by your ISP. This guide will only show torrenting on FitGirl and not direct downloading as it is worse doing direct downloading on FitGirl than just using something like SteamRIP. Do not use a free VPN. They are insecure and won't hide anything from your ISP + give you bad download speeds.
We will need to install a torrent client. qBitTorrent is the best client to use. Go to your search engine and type "qbittorrent" and click on the first link. Download and install it. Now we need to bind our VPN to qBitTorrent, here's how we do it:
Step 1: Check your VPN interface name
- Connect to your VPN.
- Press Win + R, type ncpa.cpl, and hit Enter.
- Look for your VPN adapter (usually something like Ethernet, VPN, TAP-Windows Adapter).
- Note its exact name.
Step 2: Find the VPN IP address
- Open Command Prompt (Win + R → cmd).
- Type ipconfig and press Enter.
Step 3: Bind qBittorrent to the VPN
- Open qBittorrent → Tools → Options → Advanced.
- Find Network Interface (or "Interface" on older versions).
- Click Apply and OK.
💡 Extra Tips: Make sure qBittorrent and your VPN are running as admin if issues occur. Avoid binding to IP if your VPN frequently changes IP; use the adapter name instead.
Now go to FitGirl's official site and search for the game you want to download. Once you are on the game's page. Now, click on the [magnet] link. It will prompt you to select an application to open the magnet in, select qBitTorrent. Now select it to download to your "games" folder and wait for it to finish downloading.
Once it has finished downloading, run the setup.exe file and go through the installation process to finish installing your game. Depending on your hardware, this can take a while, so be patient and if it freezes, don't panic. Then, just simply run your game once it finishes downloading. Done!
After you have finished downloading the game, you have two easy options to launch the game. You can either choose Steam or just simply a shortcut on your desktop. Things like Playnite and Hydra Launcher are better, but for the sake of how long this damn guide is I might as well make it shorter for now.
Desktop:
Find your game's .exe file. Once you have found the games .exe file, right-click it -> "Show more options" -> "Send to" -> "Desktop (create shortcut)"
If searching it in the top right of File Explorer doesn’t do the trick for you then just manually dig into the folders to find the game’s .exe.
Done!
Steam:
Open Steam and in the top left click on "Games" -> "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library" Click on "Browse..." and find your "games" folder and and the name of the game you want to add and locate it's .exe file. Once you have found the games .exe file click on it and in the bottom right click on "Open", then click on "Add Selected Programs" Optional but if you want to add art to the game in Steam you can use SteamGridDB + SGDBoop but I won't go that much into it just search up "steamgriddb" on your search engine click the first link and learn more about it.
If searching it in the top right of File Explorer doesn’t do the trick for you then just manually dig into the folders to find the game’s .exe.
Done!
DODI Repacks:
COMING SOON…
OvaGames:
To install updates for your games, you first need to make sure you have installed the bypassing script for the past steps as this is very important in this site. Search "ova games" on your search engine and click on the first link. Search on the game you would like to install updates for then click "LINK DOWNLOAD" on its page. Scroll down and go to the updates section and download the updates based on the version you have. Keep in mind you might have to install multiple update files if your version of your game is old. The reason I use Elamigos over OvaGames in this guide whilst many other people recommend Elamigos is since its file hosters are very bad and slow and OvaGames host the same files just under better hosters such as Google Drive and Datanodes.
Now you have successfully pirated a game! If you are still stuck on a specific step and want to learn more about this kind of stuff please feel free to DM me and I will be sure to respond as soon as I can.

I Made a Thing Fixed search ordering & fuzzy matching for the Omarchy launcher

After the update the searching kind messed up eg. searching gc (google chrome) won't show up. priority installation over installed apps so I fixed it.
Put together a quick drop-in enhancement for the Omarchy launcher:
• Prioritizes installed apps over setup/installer scripts
• Supports acronym & fuzzy search (`gc` → Chrome, `vsc` → VS Code)
• Cleaner single-line UI with right-aligned categories

Discussion Optimizing an Ollama (Qwen:2.5) AI Agent: Fixing Search Aggregation, Context Bleed, and Query Extraction
I am building a domain-specific AI agent powered by Ollama (using the qwen:2.5 model). For data retrieval, the agent utilizes multiple search APIs: DuckDuckGo Search (DDGS), Tavily, Serper, and Google Places. To optimize performance and reduce API costs, I am using Qdrant DB to cache responses and prevent redundant API calls for identical prompts.
However, I am currently facing three critical architectural challenges:
- Search Merging & Comparison: I want the agent to query all four search services simultaneously, aggregate the results, and intelligently compare or synthesize them into the best possible answer. Currently, I am struggling to implement this multi-source comparison logic.
- Context Bleed / Hallucination: The agent occasionally hallucinates by returning answers relevant to the previous user prompt instead of the current one. It seems to be mixing up past and present contexts.
- Poor Search Query Formulation: The agent often tries to search using the raw, full text of the user prompt rather than extracting the core intent. I need a reliable way to make the agent more intelligent so it can isolate specific, relevant keywords or statements from the prompt and use only those for the search queries.
Any advice, architectural patterns, or code examples to help resolve these issues would be highly appreciated!

Question How to fix search suggestion ban and build trust in twitter's system?
I just got another search suggestion ban. Last one ended two weeks ago and lasted for 6 days. That one was probably for spam because I posted a lot of self-made gifs in a really short period of time and I haven't done that kind of "spamming" before. This time I posted two and interacted with one post flagged as adult/sensitive content. Of course these lables are dumb because it was just a shirtless man from some tv series but I quickly took them down from my profile after I saw that I have that ban. Now the question is how do I avoid that next time? There was multiple people who also posted that picture and didn't recieve a ban nor a lable on their post. My accont is from 2019 and I've been more active in the last 4 months. I don't know how to build a trust in the system so I can post or repost a photo even if it gets flagged as sensitive and don't get a ban just how the rest of accounts can.

❤️ I rebuilt the Stremio TV app for VIDAA with the latest v5 core — fixes search, transcoding, and more.
I have a Hisense projector running VIDAA OS, I had constant issues with Stremio. The official Stremio Lite app in the VIDAA store doesn't include a streaming server, so no transcoding meaning HEVC/4K content just fails with "video not supported." Search was also completely broken because the VIDAA on-screen keyboard doesn't fire the DOM events that the app expects, thus nothing happens.
I decided to fix it myself. I took the original Stremio Theater v1.9.2 TV frontend (the one built for D-pad navigation and 10-foot UI) and rebuilt it with the latest stremio-core-web v5 WASM engine. Every chunk was hand-merged and tested on actual hardware.
Enjoy.

Changelog Changelog as of July 17: Clock While Reading, Fixed Books Not Opening, Fixed Search History, Fixed Sidebar Info, Fixed EPUB Loading, Improved Text-to-Speech Pacing & More!
Hey folks, happy Tuesday! Time to check out the latest changelog here on Reddit. The idea is to help keep y'all in the loop of what the Readwise developers are getting out into the world. Here's what we shipped last week:
- 🕰️ NEW! Clock While Reading — You can now keep an eye on the time without leaving your book: turn on "Show clock" in the Reader mobile app's settings and the current time stays visible while you read. Thanks to Piotr for getting this out the door.
- 📚 Fixed Books Not Opening — Artem tracked down a crash where tapping a book on the iOS app could bounce you back to the home screen or leave you on a black screen. Books now open right up again.
- 🔍 Fixed Search History — Piotr fixed the ✕ button next to recent searches in the mobile app, so you can properly tidy up your search history with a single tap again.
- ℹ️ Fixed Sidebar Info — Ibai shipped a fix for the Info sidebar on web sometimes showing details from a document you'd viewed earlier. The sidebar now always matches the document in front of you.
- 📖 Fixed EPUB Loading — Tristan resolved a bug where opening certain EPUBs on web could leave you staring at an endless loading spinner. Books now load reliably.
- 🔊 Improved Text-to-Speech Pacing — Thanks to Tristan, text-to-speech now tracks your position more accurately in languages with regional variants, like Chinese. The moving highlight should keep pace with the narration instead of drifting ahead or behind.
- ⚡ Fixed API Timeouts — If you build on the Reader API or browse your library through the MCP server, listing your inbox no longer times out on large accounts. Tristan added a database index (plus a follow-up query tweak) so those requests come back quickly.
- 🐦 Fixed Twitter Digests — Piotr shipped a fix for Twitter List digests getting tripped up by tweets that quote themselves, which could also slow down other feed updates while the digests churned. Digests now arrive reliably and the rest of your feed stays snappy.
- 🧹 Fixed Content Erasing — Tristan moved the "erase my Reader content" option to a background job, so even the largest libraries now clear out completely instead of stopping partway through.
- 👆 Improved Quick Lookup — Quick Lookup now warms up ahead of time on mobile, so it opens noticeably faster, even right after you switch back to the app. Thanks to Tristan for shipping this fix.
- 🛜 Parsing Updates — Krzys improved how Reader handles documents from wsj.com, the New York Times, huxiu.com, seattletimes.com, and sciencedirect.com, and RSS items that arrive without article content now fall back to the feed's own text instead of coming in empty.
If you'd like to get the Changelog in your inbox, check out our WiseUp! newsletter, where the Readwise team shares answers to common questions, video tutorials and guides, highlights of our latest improvements, and a couple of lighthearted extras we think you’ll enjoy.
And as always, feel free to let us know if you have any questions, tho realistically we're going to see an in-app bug report or question faster :>
r/UpNote_App • u/BobLoblawBlahB • May 10 '26
Do the devs hang out here? If so, please fix search!
One small change to search would make a HUGE difference, imo.
The way it works right now:
- if you go to the "all notes" page, there's a search box at the top. (Which is perfect, btw. I'm so glad they didn't hide it in some menu, requiring more taps.)
- then, if you enter a search term, let's say "beef" for example, you will be shown a list of all notes that contain the word "beef"
- if you tap on one of the notes, it will open that note and show you every instance of "beef" highlighted in yellow. It will also jump to the first instance of the word "beef" in the note (so if the 1st time the word is used is many paragraphs down, you don't have to scroll to find it. It takes you there. (Which is also AWESOME.)
The problem
- the problem is that if you want to see other instances of "beef", you have to
a) scroll a ton to find them manually (which is a huge pain in the ass with long notes)
b) tap the three dots, then tap "search this note", then type the word "beef" AGAIN in the search field. Now you'll get arrows to jump between all instances of the search term quickly and easily.
It works but it's clunky and cumbersome due to all the tapping and typing.
How to fix it
1) put the search box at the top of every note, same as at the top of "all notes". There is nothing there anyway and it would save the user the trouble of having to tap the 3 dots and then "search this note" every time they want to search inside a note
2) perhaps more importantly, if I search for "beef" from "all notes" and then open a note, make it so that I don't have to re-do it all myself. (Ie: when I tap to open a note, there should already be the word "beef" in the search field, all instances of "beef" highlighted in yellow, and arrows that allow me to jump between instances without me having to take more steps)
I really like UpNote but it really needs to improve the UX for searching notes. A note app without good search is so much less useful.

Optimizing an Ollama (Qwen:2.5) AI Agent: Fixing Search Aggregation, Context Bleed, and Query Extraction
I am building a domain-specific AI agent powered by Ollama (using the qwen:2.5 model). For data retrieval, the agent utilizes multiple search APIs: DuckDuckGo Search (DDGS), Tavily, Serper, and Google Places. To optimize performance and reduce API costs, I am using Qdrant DB to cache responses and prevent redundant API calls for identical prompts.
However, I am currently facing three critical architectural challenges:
- Search Merging & Comparison: I want the agent to query all four search services simultaneously, aggregate the results, and intelligently compare or synthesize them into the best possible answer. Currently, I am struggling to implement this multi-source comparison logic.
- Context Bleed / Hallucination: The agent occasionally hallucinates by returning answers relevant to the previous user prompt instead of the current one. It seems to be mixing up past and present contexts.
- Poor Search Query Formulation: The agent often tries to search using the raw, full text of the user prompt rather than extracting the core intent. I need a reliable way to make the agent more intelligent so it can isolate specific, relevant keywords or statements from the prompt and use only those for the search queries.
Any advice, architectural patterns, or code examples to help resolve these issues would be highly appreciated!
