You had me there!! But I've been to a place called "Pie Town" NM which got its name in a similar way, so I figured it could have been true!
There's also Truth or Consequences, NM named after a game show (I believe?)

Sounds like you're using Bluetooth headphones and the game is attaching to the microphone which will automatically switch the audio codec from audio mode into headset mode. I'd suggest trying to completely disable the microphone of the headset so the game won't even try to attach to it.
Yep that's it! I ended up just buying a headset for gaming, since I use the other one for mostly music anyways. Solved the issue there. There were some workarounds I could try but I needed a new gaming headset anyways, the padding on my old one basically just fell apart after almost 7 years.

I've seen this be popular but I'm a little sceptical as to the effectiveness of their optimisations. Does anyone have some examples, anecdotes?
Just an anecdote but I've been running it for a few months now and at least for gaming it works well. Arc Raiders plays fantastically. There is an issue with one of my headsets that when you get in game the audio quality drops to dogshit but I think that's a bigger issue with the headset on Linux and not particular to Cachy.

Remote areas sure, but also spots where you have line of sight to a satellite, but a cell signal can't get to, like canyons. Which is actually surprisingly common in some areas, like San Diego, depending on your carrier!
Yep, I lived in an apartment off Poway Rd (Sabre Springs) and we were perfectly placed in a valley where cell had "signal" but didn't work very well if at all.

I was just going to say this. It has to have a CARB sticker. No CARB sticker, no pass. Passing a smog test in most US states typically uses on-board telemetry combined with a rear-wheel dyno. Most smog shops won't touch vehicles that lack OBD2 but still require smog tests every 2 years. Also, I'm unsure if smog shops still use an external NOx/CO probe like ye olde days or rely entirely on the vehicle to be non-VW "smog mode" honest.
That's a very CA viewpoint. I moved from CA to NC and as long as the onboard computer isn't throwing a code and your emissions stuff (appears to be) in place they don't care. I have two vehicles that are tuned and they pass emissions no problem. They can see this (different means per manufacturer, I think BMW throws an invalid checksum and Ford does it by key trigger count or something) but since the vehicles are still blowing clean it's fine.
We just had a few counties discontinue emissions checks and now only do safety checks up to 30 years past which they don't inspect at all.

> keep the annoying captcha, but don't show one again for the lifetime of a cookie
This is already being done, there's a cookie and heuristics in place that will give you an easier captcha or occasionally skip it entirely. But 4chan really does have a couple (and I truly mean a small amount of super super dedicated users) of bad actors who constantly spam and try to work around any roadblocks given to annoy the rest of the userbase. You cannot give them a reliable way to spam no matter what. That's why there's now many country and region blocks in addition to your standard VPN/DC IP range blocks. Plus the Cloudflare check added a couple years ago.
Is the anontalk guy still up to his shenanigans? It's admittedly been a very long time since I've used 4chan.
Does the reviewer have that context?
In my job capacity, I give status updates about many unrelated projects.
If I am not explaining full context in a seemingly simple update or question, I will get my hand slapped. And if I tell my boss to “read” it’s going to go worse.
I would have removed the risk of removal by simply prefacing the app is a professional camera app and taking photos is the primary user function.
And not just a lesson for here but also in life: One-liners are fun to say, but people generally don’t like being on the receiving end of them.
If the reviewer simply looked at the app description or opened the app they would have that context. Not hard. Just laziness.
