Understanding the Significance of KYC for Safe Crypto Trading
2023.03.22 08:18 XchangeOn Understanding the Significance of KYC for Safe Crypto Trading
| Due to the rapid mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies, the importance of security measures has increased significantly. For this reason, crypto exchange platforms have introduced a process called KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. It is a process that leads users to provide personal information and identification documents before they can use an exchange's services. This article will explore what KYC is and why it is a crucial security measure for crypto trading. What is KYC? KYC is a regulatory requirement designed to prevent fraud and money laundering. It obligates crypto exchanges to verify their users' identities and assess their risk levels. This helps prevent businesses from unknowingly supporting illegal activities, such as money laundering, terrorist financing, or other criminal activities. Typically, KYC requires users to provide personal information (such as name, address, and date of birth) and identification documents (like a passport or driver's license). The exchange verifies this information to ensure that the user is who they claim to be. Why is KYC Mandatory for Crypto Exchanges? Crypto exchanges are particularly susceptible to fraud and hacking because cryptocurrencies are decentralized and anonymous, making them attractive targets for criminals attempting to conceal their activities. KYC processes can deter these criminal activities by providing a layer of security for the exchange. By verifying the identities of their users, crypto exchanges can prevent fraudulent activities such as fake accounts and stolen identities, thereby safeguarding not only the exchange but also the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem from criminal activities. In addition, KYC ensures that the exchange complies with regulatory requirements. Many countries require businesses to perform KYC verification as part of their anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties or even criminal charges. KYC also allows exchanges to maintain a record of their users, which can be beneficial in the event of an investigation. By knowing who their users are, exchanges can provide information to law enforcement agencies to aid in investigations of criminal activities. What are the Hurdles of KYC Implementation? Implementing KYC processes on crypto exchanges can be challenging. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies means that exchanges may not have access to the same level of information as traditional financial institutions. Furthermore, some users may be hesitant to provide personal information and identification documents, especially in light of recent data breaches. One potential solution to these challenges is the use of third-party providers for KYC verification. These providers can verify users' identities without exposing sensitive information to the exchange. Some third-party providers also use blockchain technology to ensure that verification is secure and tamper-proof. Another potential solution is the use of decentralized identity (DID) systems. DID systems allow users to manage their identity and share only the information necessary for verification. This can address users' privacy concerns while still providing the necessary security measures for the exchange. How to Complete KYC on XchangeOn.io? To complete KYC verification on XchangeOn.io, log in to your XchangeOn.io account on the website, tap the 'Profile Icon' in the top right corner, select 'Identification' and click 'Start Now.' Then, enter your first and last name as it appears on your passport, select the country issuing your document, and choose the type of document you wish to upload. After uploading a clear photo of your documents and taking a selfie with sufficient light, click 'Next' to complete the verification process. Finally, check if your KYC application has been approved or rejected. Final Thoughts KYC is a crucial security measure for crypto exchanges that helps prevent fraudulent activities and ensure regulatory compliance. While implementing KYC on crypto exchanges can be difficult, the use of third-party providers and decentralized identity systems can help address these challenges. As the cryptocurrency market evolves, KYC and other security measures will likely become even more critical. By remaining vigilant and implementing best practices, crypto exchanges can protect their users and the wider cryptocurrency ecosystem from criminal activities.

2023.03.22 07:43 Visual-Soft5584 Federal Reserve 'between a rock and a hard place' as interest rate decision looms
| Federal Reserve officials will convene this week for one of the central bank's most uncertain policy meetings in years. Forced to balance the consequences of a banking crisis and inflation that remains well above target, the Fed is expected to raise interest rates by another 0.25% when it releases its latest policy decision at 2:00 p.m. ET Wednesday afternoon. This move would bring the Fed's benchmark interest rate range to 4.75%-5%, the highest since 2006. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET to explain the Fed's decision. "They're in between a rock and a hard place," said Wilmer Stith, bond portfolio manager for Wilmington Trust. "There's a banking crisis and it's really a very tenuous, uncomfortable position for the Fed to be in." During his semi-annual testimony before Congress in early March, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said strong economic data would likely push interest "higher than previously anticipated." Just days later, the 16th-largest bank in the U.S. — Silicon Valley Bank — was taken into receivership by the FDIC, marking the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history. By the evening of Sunday, March 12, the Fed, Treasury, and FDIC had stepped in to backstop deposits at the bank and, in effect, deposits across the banking system. Regulators also seized Signature Bank on March 12, and last week the banking industry organized a de facto bailout of troubled lender First Republic. Shares of First Republic reached a record low on Monday as investors fear the bank will be the fourth U.S. bank this month to fail. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testifies before the House Committee on Financial Services on Capitol Hill on March 08, 2023 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Anna MoneymakeGetty Images) This past weekend, Swiss banking giants UBS and Credit Suisse merged in an emergency combination aimed at shoring up the European banking system. This Fed again issued a Sunday evening statement — this time on global swap lines to ensure dollar liquidity remains abundant worldwide. Still, as of Tuesday morning, data from the CME Group showed investors placing an 85% chance on the Fed raising rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday. "If they stop and reverse [rate hikes], that could cause markets to believe they're not fighting inflation when inflation is still a problem, giving you higher mortgage rates and funding costs for corporations and just a tighter vice on the economy," Stith said. After a year fighting one problem (inflation) with one tool (higher interest rates), the Fed has had to firefight a whole new challenge in just the last 10 days. Don't rule out 'further hikes to come' In addition to announcing its latest interest rate decision, the Fed will also reveal its new Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) on Wednesday, which include officials' forecasts for interest rates, inflation, unemployment, and economic growth over the balance of this year and the next two, as well as longer-run expectations. "[While] Chair Jerome Powell will acknowledge the uncertainty and stress the Fed's willingness to adjust policy if the situation in the banking sector worsens, that doesn't necessarily mean that the new Summary of Economic Projections won't still show further hikes to come,” said Andrew Hunter, an economist at Capital Economics. In December, the Fed's SEP suggested rates would peak in a range of 5%-5.25% during this rate hiking cycle. Powell's testimony earlier this month suggested this outlook is what would need altering from the central bank. On March 14, the February consumer price index showed consumer prices excluding food and energy — or so-called "core" inflation — rose 0.5% over the prior month in February, a modest acceleration from the 0.4% gain logged over each of two prior months. On March 10, the February jobs report showed some 311,000 jobs were created last month after more than 500,000 jobs were added to the economy in January. https://preview.redd.it/6awngnoyk8pa1.png?width=904&format=png&auto=webp&s=36cfb0d87a3996768cad9a010fa2beaf5a542e62 This is the strong economic data investors are betting will force the Fed to continue raising rates, though caution is expected given financial stability risks in the banking sector. Back out the banking crisis that has enveloped global markets and these inflation and jobs numbers had made a 50 basis point rate hike likely. Or as Powell told lawmakers on March 7: "If the totality of the data were to indicate that faster tightening is warranted, we would be prepared to increase the pace of rate hikes." As February turned to March, Fed officials were widely socializing the idea that 5%-5.25% peak range for the Fed funds rate would need to be revised higher. Leading up to this month's bank failures and before the Fed's ten-day quiet period ahead of its policy meeting, many Fed officials were calling to raise rates higher previously forecast. Fed Governor Chris Waller warned in a speech March 2 that if jobs and inflation reports continued to come in hot rates would have to rise more than previously expected this year. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, a voting member of the FOMC, said earlier this month he'd lean towards pushing rates higher than he previously forecast, while Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said that if data come in stronger than expected then a case could be made for higher rates https://preview.redd.it/qpji7q34l8pa1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a281e095946df03f00d4ecba4e3bc69b1aaa1d7 "It's a toss up," said Stith. "Do they raise 25 [basis points], but stop quantitative tightening? Do they raise 25 but lower their dot plot significantly? It's less certain now from my perspective that they're going to do the 25, [and] continue to telegraph a higher rate environment. I think that's a bar that's a little too high." Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius — who expects the Fed will stand pat on Wednesday — said there is "considerable uncertainty" about the path beyond March, but he's leaving expectations unchanged for 25 basis point hikes in May, June, and July, and now expects the Fed to finish its rate-hiking cycle with rates in a range of 5.25%-5.5%. https://preview.redd.it/wqpa5ce7l8pa1.png?width=921&format=png&auto=webp&s=6448bd4dc99a3d56d2505eb60be099b3f194e20a Liquidity looms In addition to balancing full employment with stable prices, the Fed's dual mandate has an unofficial third arm — financial stability. This "third mandate" is what has been put under the most stress during this month's banking crisis. The Fed has said it would use its regulatory tools to deal with financial instability, and the central bank created an emergency lending facility to offer funding to banks to ensure banks could meet all depositor withdrawals. This program essentially backstopped all deposits — both those insured and uninsured — across the U.S. financial system. So far banks have borrowed only about $12 billion from the program — equivalent to a small fraction of the deposits that were pulled out of Silicon Valley Bank before its collapse. Still, banks have borrowed $153 billion in loans through the Fed's traditional lending program, known as the discount window, marking the largest amount since the 2008 financial crisis. And as the Fed uses its tools to shore up confidence in the system, these efforts have been a collaborative effort in Washington, D.C. Speaking before the Senate last week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she is monitoring stress in the banking system to make sure problems at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature don't spread to other banks. Yellen assured Senate lawmakers last Wednesday the U.S. banking system is "sound" despite recent bank failures. https://preview.redd.it/tz6lnbjal8pa1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9ba6d0e4a1ae019458982b1b9acd9d75fa9e829 These stresses on the banking system may also, in a roundabout way, work to accomplish some of the Fed's goals, particularly as it relates to tightening financial conditions. "The Fed wanted to tighten financial conditions and bam, they got that in a week," Stith said. According to the Fed's latest Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey, most banks were already tightening standards on consumer and business loans by the end of last year. "If credit was restricted enough to seriously hit activity, the risk is that a self-sustaining cycle of rising unemployment, higher delinquency rates and ever-tighter credit standards could eventually emerge," said Capital Economics' Hunter. submitted by Visual-Soft5584 to Burystocks [link] [comments] |
2023.03.22 07:41 VeyeHasNoFriends cousin being influenced in horrible ways
My cousin and I have had a great relationship within the past 3 years. We played video games everyday, and he even taught me a bit about the Bible. But recently he met a girl online and they fell in love, and they are now online dating. This girl though has changed my cousin, and influenced him in such horrible ways. She incouraged him to buy illegal substances, encouraged him into sending nude photos, skipping school for days, and openly ignoring me and his friends. We've had dreams of starting a band together, and now he's told me he's going to accomplish that with this girl instead of me. I can't confirm, but I'm pretty sure she has encouraged my cousin into self harm too. I don't know what to do, and I ask for you all's advice. Please help me.

2023.03.22 07:35 PeppyMoss Potential Additional Features that would make Transformers: Tactical Arena a Lot Better.
In this post, we are going to discuss any cosmetic, functional, or gameplay-related features that could be added to Transformers: Tactical Arena to improve the players’ experience while playing the game. Red Games Co. nailed the gameplay itself and have already proven their ability to deliver great new cards, arenas, emotes, and music tracks in almost every update, but this list will include features that will improve this game in general, either improving the feel of the gameplay or adding more things to do in the main menu screen. These are going to be the types of additions the game needs to have before it can grow any further and expand to a wider audience. The list will be numbered in order of most wanted to not as most wanted, but still wanted (based on my personal preferences). Brace yourselves, here it goes:
- Add a selectable Landscape mode for mobile users:
There are two perspectives available to play the game in: Portrait mode and Landscape mode. Unfortunately, these perspectives are locked in to the system a player uses, with Portrait mode being limited to iPad and iPhone devices while Landscape mode is limited to Macs and Apple TVs. It would be impossible to implement Portrait mode to Macs and Apple TVs as that would limit the player’s perspective, but players on iPhones and iPads should be given a new option in the Settings that would allow them to choose whether to play the game in Portrait Mode, Landscape mode, or Both, depending on the device’s orientation. I would love to have the option to try playing this game in Landscape mode as it would totally change the perspective and the way I play along with it. You have no idea how frequently I miss while using Graviton Nexus because of the current portrait perspective I am limited to.
- Add a Match History feature with a controllable camera for Photo Mode:
This game needs a Match History of some sorts. Perhaps have the option positioned in the main menu between the Crates and Practice options. Not to crowd a respective device’s memory, the Battle Log should have 10 slots, which would fill in every time a Battle is played, sorted from latest at the top to recent at the bottom (preferably with times and dates indicated). If all 10 slots are filled, the recent game (10th in the list) would be automatically permanently deleted and the slot filled in with the next recorded game in queue, and so on. However, users would be given the option to Favorite or Save match replays of their choosing, which would go into a menu next to the Battle Log, have this option called Saved. The number of slots could be either infinite or a maximum of 30 saved replays. This is where the fun begins: the match replays would work in real time similarly to how the tutorial videos for the cards work. This would allow players to do the following: 1) Change perspective, viewing the match play out from their side or from the opponent’s side; and 2) Have a free cinematic camera mode that would give the players two cursors that would allow them to fly the camera around the arena and position it in ways like we have seen only in the trailers for TTA, almost like in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. This would allow players to create cinematic shots, get clips of cool moments from various perspectives, follow Megatron or Scorponok around as they ravage through the arena. Imagine the amount of advertising it would allow for if players started posting videos of Bumblebee Super Punching a turret from a close up shot, or Starscream swooping in in jet mode.
- Add more game modes:
A lot of people ask for a story mode to be added to the game. Though a story mode would be incredible, it’s a lot to ask for, considering how much work it would take to make. However, we as players have been stuck battling each other or the A.I. solo for more than a year now. I love this game for what it is, it has incredible gameplay that keeps holding it up despite its cons, but it can get boring and repetitive fast, and sometimes I have trouble pushing myself to play through five games every day. Giving players the option to play more modes would highly increase the replayability of this game. For example, when pressing on the Battle button from the Main Menu, instead of a wait queue immediately starting, players would be greeted by another menu, asking them which mode they want to Battle in. The options would be 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and perhaps Story Mode as the lower option (which would be an entire menu in of itself). Yes, you read that right, Red could go so far as to add a 3v3 mode. A while ago, I used to play a game called Mini Guns – Omega Wars. It’s dead now (servers shut down), but it was a unique Clash Royale-inspired mobile game with impressive visuals and fun original gameplay, similar to Transformers: Tactical Arena. It was later added to Steam as well, something I would love to see happen to TTA. There were 4 ways to play the game: it had a story mode, 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3. 3v3 was chaotic and at the same time the best way to play the game, because if your cards were underleveled, you had two teammates who could carry you if they were maxed out, and you were thus more likely to win in 3v3 than in 2v2 and 1v1 modes. I want Transformers: Tactical Arena to have such similar features from Mini Guns – Omega Wars because it’s going to make the game so much more replayable.
- Add more profile customization:
Giving us the option to purchase and choose from a variety of Banners and Avatars was one of the most brilliant things the developers added to this game. However, being able to customize only three things (our names, portraits, and banners) is not enough. How about adding customizable Frames to our tags, such as Bumblebee or Sunstreaker sitting on top, or a boombox around our profile tag, or Scorponok’s claw, Starscream’s Seeker armada, or Soundwave’s minions in every corner of our profile tag? How about adding unique Effects to highlight our tags, such as flames, pink plasma, dripping blue Energon, etc.? How about allowing us to customize our names with unique Fonts? This will monetize the game further and allow us to buy more things with our hard-earned ORE-13.
- Add skin selection for unique characters:
Shortly after being first released, Trailbreaker had his eyes changed from the color red to the color blue. Megatron recently had his entire appearance changed as well, from a more G1-inspired one to a more IDW-inspired one. This got me thinking about how more different skins like that could be added to the game for players to purchase with ORE-13 and use to slightly customize the appearance of their favorite characters. For example, Trailbreaker could be given a blue skin with red eyes, while Megatron could be given his G1-inspired skin back, with the players choosing which they want their Megatron to wear, the older one or the newer one.
NOTE: Do not turn unique characters from Transformers lore into simple reskins of cards already in the game. I.E. Do not make Cliffjumper a red reskin of Bumblebee. Cliffjumper and Bumblebee are two totally unique characters with different fighting styles in Transformers lore. Doing so will also confuse the players. Not everyone will be able to tell that a Bumblebee is coming for their turret if he is painted blue, red, or white instead of bright yellow that will immediately jump into the players’ eyes and warn them. Do not turn Skywarp and Thundercracker into Starscream reskins when they are extremely different characters with unique abilities. Not even Nemesis Prime should be an Optimus Prime reskin. The reskins should be limited only to the unique, named characters in question.
Instead, what you could do is make skins of the characters based on their Shattered Glass versions, which would make sense since it’s something the recent update hinted at. Or have the skins be the Generation 2 (G2) repaints of the characters, or their original Marvel comic book appearances, like the red-eyed, blue-painted Trailbreaker, or remodels of the characters based on the IDW comics, like the recent Megatron reskin we got. Keep the skin selection limited to the named characters selected by the players while customizing their looks.
- Add skin selection for Main and Secondary Turrets.
Similarly to the unit skins presented previously and the tower skins from Clash Royale, Transformers: Tactical Arena can have something similar by allowing players to customize the way their main and secondary turrets look. It would be nice if the main turret could be customized separately from the secondary turrets, or, better yet, *have all three turrets be independently customizable*. The turrets could be labeled Left Turret, Main Turret, and Right Turret during the customization process. Such customization could include festive themes, holiday themes, or, my most wanted proposition, have unique characters become the turrets. Have the main turret be Sky Lynx, who sleeps before being activated, or Tarn sitting on a throne, or Fortress Maximus (with the Secondary Turrets being his extra city mode limbs), or a cloning vat with a Predacon in stasis inside (a reference to Transformers: Prime). Add whatever your imagination tells you to! We as players will love these additions.
- Add skin selection for structures:
Similarly to the unit card skin selection and turret skin selection, there should also be skin customization available for the various structures in the game, including the Decoy (players can choose the character model being projected by the Decoy as well as the Decoy base itself), spawners, Teleporters, smaller turrets, and other deployable building cards. If skins are added for units such as Sharkticons, Minions, and Autobot Troopers and Infantry, their skins should be customizable separately from their respective spawners/Teleporters when customizing the appearance of the structure cards themselves, but also included into the customization.
- Add in-game death animations:
There is nothing more lame than struggling to destroy Scorponok in-game just to see him pop into some Energon bits on death. It would have been so much better if Scorponok would fall back on death, fall apart, or explode into Energon bits. This could add more elements to the game such as Scorponok dealing damage after exploding on death, similarly to how the NOD Avatar explodes on death in Command and Conquer: Rivals. However, this does not apply to Scorponok only. Other characters should have death animations, such as Jazz getting ripped in half (a reference to his death in the 2007 Transformers movie), Megatron falling to his knees and landing on his chest due to how big and bulky he is, Crosshairs and Spinister spinning out of control and crashing into the ground, Optimus Prime falling back (a reference to his death in the 1986 Transformers movie), Windblade getting blasted back and her sword sticking into the ground (similarly to how Clash Royale’s Knight’s sword sticks into the ground when his is killed), Starscream transforming into his jet and flying away, not actually dying because he is a coward, etc. Minions and Drones would still have their current death animations, while Autobot Infantry and Troopers could have something more unique like breaking apart into parts on death. And keep these death animations relatively short and simple, no longer than 2 or 3 seconds, similarly to the way Metal Slug soldiers die when you shoot them.
- Add units emoting at the end of the game:
This may sound confusing but bear with me. Do you know how there is a 1 or 2 second delay between a winning turret being destroyed and the victory screen coming up? Ever played Metal Slug? Ever seen how the enemy troops cheered and celebrated when you died, taunting your death? Ever played Red Alert 2 or 3? Ever seen how the units on the map would start cheering if you achieved victory? Seeing something similar to that in this game would be downright INCREDIBLE. Not only would it taunt your opponent, but it would look fun and good from an entertainment perspective. Autobot Troopers could start throwing their pistols in the air. Autobot Infrantry could dance and jump around. Megatron could strike a victorious pose, hands on hips and straightened out. Optimus Prime could lower his Energon Axe similarly to how does it in the squad selection screen. Grimlock could stomp the ground and release a burst of fire into the air to celebrate. Sunstreaker could start firing rockets into the sky as fireworks. Trailbreaker could start firing at the sky as an act of celebration. Moonracer could holster her sniper rifle similarly to her squad selection idle animation. Bumblebee could start clapping. Brawn could crack his knuckles and fold his arms. Starscream could transform into a jet and fly off. Soundwave could transmit a radio signal. Shockwave could return to plotting his schemes the way he does during his idle animation in the Squad selection screen. Windblade could slowly holster her blade. On the contrary, if the game is lost, the units would have unique scared animations, either shivering in the same spot or panicking and running away. The possibilities are endless.
- Add new daily and weekly objectives with higher rewards.
Right now, the game cycles between about 10 different daily challenges that are fairly easy to complete, but the lack of uniqueness is very boring. Add more daily and weekly objectives that involve using newer cards such as Chromia instead of Bonecrusher, for example. Such objectivates would help out newer players and add more spice to more experienced players.
- Add more Squad slots:
3 Squads is not enough. Simple as. In comparison, Clash Royale allows players to create 10 different decks at once. Giving us the option to make 5 would be way better than limiting us to 3, even though a similar system to CR could be implemented and we could be given the full 10 Squad slots in TTA as well. I had to overwrite many fun and unique Squads with more practical ones in the past since I had only 3 slots to work with, and I can’t really experiment with making new Squads since I’m trying to stick with the 3 I already have.
- Add Squad randomization:
On the topic of Squad creation, it can be difficult for new players to create Squads that work, so creating a button that, once pressed, would auto-generate a random Squad would be great. Every randomly generated Squad would have at least 1 random tactical support card, at least 1 random tank car, at least 1 random win condition car, at least 1 random structure card, at least 1 random ranged unit card, at least 1 random melee unit card, and so on.
- Add more Crate types (a greater Crate variety for players to unlock):
The current four types of Crates we have are very good (Common, Rare, Epic, and Arena), but wouldn’t it be better if we had more options to unlock and upgrade cards and get ORE-13? Adding a greater variety of Crates would give players more reason to grind and would make leveling up slightly easier and more fun. You could add a Legendary crate that contained only Legendaries, a Giant crate which would contain the most cards of any other Crate, etc. Anything you could come up with would be better than us being stuck with the same old four (mostly three) types of Crates.
- Add more A.I. decks and fix the A.I. itself:
It’s nice to have the current A.I. decks memorized to allow for easy victories, but at the same time this should not be the case. Rather than having the A.I. use randomized decks, simply create more decks for it cycle through than
u/Picopede already listed in the following post: (
https://www.reddit.com/TransformersTactical/wiki/ai-squads/). Add decks with the new cards, have the A.I. use decks with cards like Starscream, Scorponok, both Chaser cards in one deck, Trailbreaker, Sharlticon Portal, Shockwave, Railgun, and other unused cards that never show up while fighting the A.I. at upper levels. Fix the old decks so that the A.I. knows how to use actual strategies and strong card combinations instead of spamming units like crazy, hoping to overwhelm the human opponents. The A.I. should be more interesting and rewarding to fight.
- Add a camera mode in the Squad screen that would allow us to look at the 3D models of the characters closer:
Sometimes, instead of playing the game, it feels good to sit back and take in its beautiful art style, which includes looking at the characters, reading through their bios, and watching their tutorial videos. It would be nice if there was more, if there was an option once you entered the Squad screen and clicked on a card, to press on a button for some sort of Camera Mode and look at the cards in greater detail, from different perspectives. Maybe we could even be given the option to play specific animations for the card we chose, such as first deployment, regular attack, idle animation, and any other animations that card has. This feature would also allow players to look at unique character, structure, and turret skins (proposed to be added in points 5, 6, and 7) from different perspectives before or after purchase in the Supply Shop.
- Add a controllable camera to the Crates selection screen:
When it comes to unlocking Crates, it can get a bit boring and repetitive to do so. Despite us getting the Open All button, I am the type of player who unlocks the Crates one by one to visually see the things I get and any milestones I reach with my card levels. This feature is definitely not a must, but it would improve the immersion of the game so much more if we could look at the different types of Crates from different perspectives, especially the unique Arena ones, or any other Crate types the developers might add.
- Add sound effects to emotes:
This has the danger of making the game more toxic, but it’s pretty lame to see an emote without actually hearing it. I love the emotes as they are, the way they look and the way they play. However, this addition might take a lot of work to implement, so it should not be a priority.
- Make the gameplay feel more smooth:
Now this point is a bit more techy than the previous ones, but this is a complaint about the gameplay itself. There is a certain edge to it, like there is always a delay to the things you do, or the gameplay itself feels choppy, like you are playing at 30 fps instead of 60 fps. I would say this may have been done to conserve battery power, but changing the graphics quality of the game does not improve its flow, in fact it makes the gameplay even more choppy and laggy. If there was an option added to the Settings that would allow to increase the smoothness of the game at the cost of battery usage, that would be great, because the game does not run on mobile the same way it does on the Apple TV, based on watching
u/Picopede ’s videos.
- Add a wait time for unit deployment.
In Clash Royale, when you want to deploy a card but do not have enough Elixir to do so, being 1 cost point short or so, the game deploys the card wherever you placed it on a certain wait queue that lasts a second or a millisecond before you accumulate enough Elixir, finally deploying the card later than you initially “planted” it. This can be both harmful, if you don’t plan ahead or misplace a card, and powerful, allowing for well-timed clutches and close calls. Transformers: Tactical Arena currently does not have this. You can either deploy a card if you have enough Energon, or you cannot. As a result, you have to hover your finger over the spot where you want to deploy a card while keeping your eyes on the Energon meter, which hinders your vision and allows you to make serious mistakes. Though depleting your Energon is a bad game strategy, this game should still have the same option of deploying your cards on millisecond-long queues, because I missed a lot of close calls and clutch moments due to either not being able to see the screen under my finger or the card I wanted to deploy not being deployed at all.
- Allow the deselection of cards in-game.
There is nothing more frustrating than misclicking on the arena after selecting a card but after changing your mind, and deploying a card you did not want to deploy at a random spot on the arena, for example at the bottom of the arena, right above the card selection bar. The only way of deselecting the card you currently have selected is to click on a different card, and you better not accidentally click somewhere randomly on the arena, or else the game will be lost. Players should have the option of deselecting the card they currently have selected. This can be done by either swiping down on the same card (since the card you have selected is raised up), or pressing a new x button added to the selected card, anything would be better then just hovering over what we have selected without being able to click anywhere else on the screen. It would also clear the screen up of the checkered pattern that appears every time you select a card, which would allow for better control of players’ vision.
- Fix ranged units not firing at enemy units within melee range.
There is a very annoying bug that happens whenever units approach ranged units really closely - the ranged units just simply stop firing at them. For example, if Optimus Prime enters Charge in his truck mode and Shockwave is standing right in front of him as he passes, Shockwave won’t fire at Optimus and will just allow him to pass without stunning him. This is true for all ranged units, including Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Arcee, Jazz, Starscream, Rotorstorm (he won’t fire at units directly under him), etc. The only exception is Megatron who uses Backhand in melee range. Either add melee attacks similar to Megatron’s Backhand to all ranged units or just simply allow them to fire at targets right in front of them.
- Add a new leaderboard.
This is an idea proposed by the other people on this Subreddit, such as
u/Boosetro. Though I agree with the idea of having more than two leaderboards for a general ranking and the number of turrets destroyed, I don’t know if I agree with this idea in particular. Diving out PvP from PvE would force players to wait to play the game in PvP mode, which is rarely fun, competitive, and thus rather frustrating. People are free to disagree though, and I will leave it up to the developers to think about this point. Perhaps add a new Ranked leaderboard that would be limited to PvP matches.
- Add a new Spectator Mode that will allow players to attend and observe other real-time matches.
This feature follows the feature proposed in Part 2. Once a Battle Log feature is successfully added to the game, a Spectator mode should also be added, which would allow players to join and view a random or selected game happening in real time between two other players or between a player and a bot. This addition would be similar to what Clash Royale has. Players playing the game would be able to view how many people are spectating them, and the spectators would be able to use minimized emotes and cheer for the players they are spectating (or the opponents) without distracting either player. The reason I placed this feature so far down in the list is because I don’t consider its addition that important, though other people here may disagree. I never liked the spectator feature in Clash Royale and thus don’t think Transformers: Tactical Arena needs one. However, it’s up to the developers to decide whether they want to implement this or not.
Thus, that amounts to a total of 23 items (and counting) to improve the feel of the game. It is up to the developers to decide whether they want to add these features or not, but I can guarantee they would make the game feel so much better. Please consider some of these. If you have any extra ideas, make sure to comment them down below! Thank you for reading through this list!

2023.03.22 07:35 PeppyMoss Potential Additional Features that would make Transformers: Tactical Arena a Lot Better.
In this post, we are going to discuss any cosmetic, functional, or gameplay-related features that could be added to Transformers: Tactical Arena to improve the players’ experience while playing the game. Red Games Co. nailed the gameplay itself and have already proven their ability to deliver great new cards, arenas, emotes, and music tracks in almost every update, but this list will include features that will improve this game in general, either improving the feel of the gameplay or adding more things to do in the main menu screen. These are going to be the types of additions the game needs to have before it can grow any further and expand to a wider audience. The list will be numbered in order of most wanted to not as most wanted, but still wanted (based on my personal preferences). Brace yourselves, here it goes:
- Add a selectable Landscape mode for mobile users:
There are two perspectives available to play the game in: Portrait mode and Landscape mode. Unfortunately, these perspectives are locked in to the system a player uses, with Portrait mode being limited to iPad and iPhone devices while Landscape mode is limited to Macs and Apple TVs. It would be impossible to implement Portrait mode to Macs and Apple TVs as that would limit the player’s perspective, but players on iPhones and iPads should be given a new option in the Settings that would allow them to choose whether to play the game in Portrait Mode, Landscape mode, or Both, depending on the device’s orientation. I would love to have the option to try playing this game in Landscape mode as it would totally change the perspective and the way I play along with it. You have no idea how frequently I miss while using Graviton Nexus because of the current portrait perspective I am limited to.
- Add a Match History feature with a controllable camera for Photo Mode:
This game needs a Match History of some sorts. Perhaps have the option positioned in the main menu between the Crates and Practice options. Not to crowd a respective device’s memory, the Battle Log should have 10 slots, which would fill in every time a Battle is played, sorted from latest at the top to recent at the bottom (preferably with times and dates indicated). If all 10 slots are filled, the recent game (10th in the list) would be automatically permanently deleted and the slot filled in with the next recorded game in queue, and so on. However, users would be given the option to Favorite or Save match replays of their choosing, which would go into a menu next to the Battle Log, have this option called Saved. The number of slots could be either infinite or a maximum of 30 saved replays. This is where the fun begins: the match replays would work in real time similarly to how the tutorial videos for the cards work. This would allow players to do the following: 1) Change perspective, viewing the match play out from their side or from the opponent’s side; and 2) Have a free cinematic camera mode that would give the players two cursors that would allow them to fly the camera around the arena and position it in ways like we have seen only in the trailers for TTA, almost like in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. This would allow players to create cinematic shots, get clips of cool moments from various perspectives, follow Megatron or Scorponok around as they ravage through the arena. Imagine the amount of advertising it would allow for if players started posting videos of Bumblebee Super Punching a turret from a close up shot, or Starscream swooping in in jet mode.
- Add more game modes:
A lot of people ask for a story mode to be added to the game. Though a story mode would be incredible, it’s a lot to ask for, considering how much work it would take to make. However, we as players have been stuck battling each other or the A.I. solo for more than a year now. I love this game for what it is, it has incredible gameplay that keeps holding it up despite its cons, but it can get boring and repetitive fast, and sometimes I have trouble pushing myself to play through five games every day. Giving players the option to play more modes would highly increase the replayability of this game. For example, when pressing on the Battle button from the Main Menu, instead of a wait queue immediately starting, players would be greeted by another menu, asking them which mode they want to Battle in. The options would be 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and perhaps Story Mode as the lower option (which would be an entire menu in of itself). Yes, you read that right, Red could go so far as to add a 3v3 mode. A while ago, I used to play a game called Mini Guns – Omega Wars. It’s dead now (servers shut down), but it was a unique Clash Royale-inspired mobile game with impressive visuals and fun original gameplay, similar to Transformers: Tactical Arena. It was later added to Steam as well, something I would love to see happen to TTA. There were 4 ways to play the game: it had a story mode, 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3. 3v3 was chaotic and at the same time the best way to play the game, because if your cards were underleveled, you had two teammates who could carry you if they were maxed out, and you were thus more likely to win in 3v3 than in 2v2 and 1v1 modes. I want Transformers: Tactical Arena to have such similar features from Mini Guns – Omega Wars because it’s going to make the game so much more replayable.
- Add more profile customization:
Giving us the option to purchase and choose from a variety of Banners and Avatars was one of the most brilliant things the developers added to this game. However, being able to customize only three things (our names, portraits, and banners) is not enough. How about adding customizable Frames to our tags, such as Bumblebee or Sunstreaker sitting on top, or a boombox around our profile tag, or Scorponok’s claw, Starscream’s Seeker armada, or Soundwave’s minions in every corner of our profile tag? How about adding unique Effects to highlight our tags, such as flames, pink plasma, dripping blue Energon, etc.? How about allowing us to customize our names with unique Fonts? This will monetize the game further and allow us to buy more things with our hard-earned ORE-13.
- Add skin selection for unique characters:
Shortly after being first released, Trailbreaker had his eyes changed from the color red to the color blue. Megatron recently had his entire appearance changed as well, from a more G1-inspired one to a more IDW-inspired one. This got me thinking about how more different skins like that could be added to the game for players to purchase with ORE-13 and use to slightly customize the appearance of their favorite characters. For example, Trailbreaker could be given a blue skin with red eyes, while Megatron could be given his G1-inspired skin back, with the players choosing which they want their Megatron to wear, the older one or the newer one.
NOTE: Do not turn unique characters from Transformers lore into simple reskins of cards already in the game. I.E. Do not make Cliffjumper a red reskin of Bumblebee. Cliffjumper and Bumblebee are two totally unique characters with different fighting styles in Transformers lore. Doing so will also confuse the players. Not everyone will be able to tell that a Bumblebee is coming for their turret if he is painted blue, red, or white instead of bright yellow that will immediately jump into the players’ eyes and warn them. Do not turn Skywarp and Thundercracker into Starscream reskins when they are extremely different characters with unique abilities. Not even Nemesis Prime should be an Optimus Prime reskin. The reskins should be limited only to the unique, named characters in question.
Instead, what you could do is make skins of the characters based on their Shattered Glass versions, which would make sense since it’s something the recent update hinted at. Or have the skins be the Generation 2 (G2) repaints of the characters, or their original Marvel comic book appearances, like the red-eyed, blue-painted Trailbreaker, or remodels of the characters based on the IDW comics, like the recent Megatron reskin we got. Keep the skin selection limited to the named characters selected by the players while customizing their looks.
- Add skin selection for Main and Secondary Turrets.
Similarly to the unit skins presented previously and the tower skins from Clash Royale, Transformers: Tactical Arena can have something similar by allowing players to customize the way their main and secondary turrets look. It would be nice if the main turret could be customized separately from the secondary turrets, or, better yet, *have all three turrets be independently customizable*. The turrets could be labeled Left Turret, Main Turret, and Right Turret during the customization process. Such customization could include festive themes, holiday themes, or, my most wanted proposition, have unique characters become the turrets. Have the main turret be Sky Lynx, who sleeps before being activated, or Tarn sitting on a throne, or Fortress Maximus (with the Secondary Turrets being his extra city mode limbs), or a cloning vat with a Predacon in stasis inside (a reference to Transformers: Prime). Add whatever your imagination tells you to! We as players will love these additions.
- Add skin selection for structures:
Similarly to the unit card skin selection and turret skin selection, there should also be skin customization available for the various structures in the game, including the Decoy (players can choose the character model being projected by the Decoy as well as the Decoy base itself), spawners, Teleporters, smaller turrets, and other deployable building cards. If skins are added for units such as Sharkticons, Minions, and Autobot Troopers and Infantry, their skins should be customizable separately from their respective spawners/Teleporters when customizing the appearance of the structure cards themselves, but also included into the customization.
- Add in-game death animations:
There is nothing more lame than struggling to destroy Scorponok in-game just to see him pop into some Energon bits on death. It would have been so much better if Scorponok would fall back on death, fall apart, or explode into Energon bits. This could add more elements to the game such as Scorponok dealing damage after exploding on death, similarly to how the NOD Avatar explodes on death in Command and Conquer: Rivals. However, this does not apply to Scorponok only. Other characters should have death animations, such as Jazz getting ripped in half (a reference to his death in the 2007 Transformers movie), Megatron falling to his knees and landing on his chest due to how big and bulky he is, Crosshairs and Spinister spinning out of control and crashing into the ground, Optimus Prime falling back (a reference to his death in the 1986 Transformers movie), Windblade getting blasted back and her sword sticking into the ground (similarly to how Clash Royale’s Knight’s sword sticks into the ground when his is killed), Starscream transforming into his jet and flying away, not actually dying because he is a coward, etc. Minions and Drones would still have their current death animations, while Autobot Infantry and Troopers could have something more unique like breaking apart into parts on death. And keep these death animations relatively short and simple, no longer than 2 or 3 seconds, similarly to the way Metal Slug soldiers die when you shoot them.
- Add units emoting at the end of the game:
This may sound confusing but bear with me. Do you know how there is a 1 or 2 second delay between a winning turret being destroyed and the victory screen coming up? Ever played Metal Slug? Ever seen how the enemy troops cheered and celebrated when you died, taunting your death? Ever played Red Alert 2 or 3? Ever seen how the units on the map would start cheering if you achieved victory? Seeing something similar to that in this game would be downright INCREDIBLE. Not only would it taunt your opponent, but it would look fun and good from an entertainment perspective. Autobot Troopers could start throwing their pistols in the air. Autobot Infrantry could dance and jump around. Megatron could strike a victorious pose, hands on hips and straightened out. Optimus Prime could lower his Energon Axe similarly to how does it in the squad selection screen. Grimlock could stomp the ground and release a burst of fire into the air to celebrate. Sunstreaker could start firing rockets into the sky as fireworks. Trailbreaker could start firing at the sky as an act of celebration. Moonracer could holster her sniper rifle similarly to her squad selection idle animation. Bumblebee could start clapping. Brawn could crack his knuckles and fold his arms. Starscream could transform into a jet and fly off. Soundwave could transmit a radio signal. Shockwave could return to plotting his schemes the way he does during his idle animation in the Squad selection screen. Windblade could slowly holster her blade. On the contrary, if the game is lost, the units would have unique scared animations, either shivering in the same spot or panicking and running away. The possibilities are endless.
- Add new daily and weekly objectives with higher rewards.
Right now, the game cycles between about 10 different daily challenges that are fairly easy to complete, but the lack of uniqueness is very boring. Add more daily and weekly objectives that involve using newer cards such as Chromia instead of Bonecrusher, for example. Such objectivates would help out newer players and add more spice to more experienced players.
- Add more Squad slots:
3 Squads is not enough. Simple as. In comparison, Clash Royale allows players to create 10 different decks at once. Giving us the option to make 5 would be way better than limiting us to 3, even though a similar system to CR could be implemented and we could be given the full 10 Squad slots in TTA as well. I had to overwrite many fun and unique Squads with more practical ones in the past since I had only 3 slots to work with, and I can’t really experiment with making new Squads since I’m trying to stick with the 3 I already have.
- Add Squad randomization:
On the topic of Squad creation, it can be difficult for new players to create Squads that work, so creating a button that, once pressed, would auto-generate a random Squad would be great. Every randomly generated Squad would have at least 1 random tactical support card, at least 1 random tank car, at least 1 random win condition car, at least 1 random structure card, at least 1 random ranged unit card, at least 1 random melee unit card, and so on.
- Add more Crate types (a greater Crate variety for players to unlock):
The current four types of Crates we have are very good (Common, Rare, Epic, and Arena), but wouldn’t it be better if we had more options to unlock and upgrade cards and get ORE-13? Adding a greater variety of Crates would give players more reason to grind and would make leveling up slightly easier and more fun. You could add a Legendary crate that contained only Legendaries, a Giant crate which would contain the most cards of any other Crate, etc. Anything you could come up with would be better than us being stuck with the same old four (mostly three) types of Crates.
- Add more A.I. decks and fix the A.I. itself:
It’s nice to have the current A.I. decks memorized to allow for easy victories, but at the same time this should not be the case. Rather than having the A.I. use randomized decks, simply create more decks for it cycle through than

Fix the old decks so that the A.I. knows how to use actual strategies and strong card combinations instead of spamming units like crazy, hoping to overwhelm the human opponents. The A.I. should be more interesting and rewarding to fight.
- Add a camera mode in the Squad screen that would allow us to look at the 3D models of the characters closer:

2023.03.22 07:25 techgeek2030 iOS Guide: Delete Duplicate Photos on iPhone
| https://preview.redd.it/ptpcd3a3i8pa1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8448ec2df92239c00a89fd670742ec63aebea28 With iOS 16, the Pictures app is receiving several improvements. It's simple to overlook the minor, quality-of-life additions that find their way to your iPhones and iPads between Shared iCloud Picture Library and the new batch-edit capability. One such inclusion is a brand-new Duplicates album. Now that Apple automatically checks your library for duplicates or almost identical photographs, you may get rid of the seven duplicate photos with simple tricks. Luckily, there are a few quick ways to remove duplicate pictures without using an external tool. Find A Reliable App If you use a third-party app, choose a reliable and reputable one. Always read reviews and research the app before downloading it to ensure it is safe and effective. With the right app, you can quickly and easily remove duplicate photos from your iPhone, giving you more space and a more organized photo library. Consider using a third-party tool like the Core all-in-one phone manager and phone cleaner app; it can automatically detect and remove duplicate photos, freeing up space on your iPhone. Selecting and combining several photographs using the new Duplicates interface is only possible on iOS 16, currently available as a public beta. Delete Duplicate Photos You can use the built-in Photos app to delete duplicate photos on your iPhone without a third-party app. First, open the app and select the Albums tab. Then, scroll down and select Recently Deleted. Here, you can review all of the photos you recently deleted and delete any duplicates you come across. To determine numerous photographs to combine, hit the Select button. Next, pick merge duplicates from the popup menu after tapping the Merge button from the bottom bar, and all of the selected photographs will be combined.

2023.03.22 07:13 okay-noodles Do photos still sync to the other phone even if you logged your apple account on that phone?
I recently logged in my apple id on a brand new iphone 14 and some of the photos from my own phone (iphone 12) synced to the iphone 14 but not all of them. So after using it, i logged out my apple id on the iphone 14. After logging it out, the synced photos remained on that phone so i deleted it.
So my question is, if i sync my iphone 12 to icloud, will it still appear on the iphone 14 even after logging out my account there? There was a new account logged in there right now.
Thanks

2023.03.22 07:09 ykawai19 Have been buying/selling MTG singles on Cardsphere since mid-Feb, and I absolutely love it. Why is it that I infrequently encounter posts about Cardsphere?
Full disclosure: I am not affiliated with Cardsphere (CS), nor do I receive any gifts from CS to post this comment. IMO, MTG players interested in selling/buying/trading cards should at least be aware that this platform exists.
I almost exclusively shopped for singles on TCGPlayer. After actively buying/selling on CS for about a month, I wish I had known about CS years ago.
(if you follow mtgfinance, I apologize for the similar post, but I wanted to hear from a larger audience) Pros/Cons of Cardsphere Pros:
- Singles are priced very competitively, frequently beating TCGPlayer Low by >10%
- The fee you pay per transaction is minimal
- Can contact the trader with ease to ask questions, negotiate prices, or send card photos
- Of the 800+ cards I’ve sent to 60+ traders, no claims of lost PWEs/packages
- You feel you belong to a community where everyone is helping each other meet their MTG goals (as cheesy as that sounds)
- Through Discord, you can chat with the creators/developers of CS and other traders with years of experience
- Recently, they launched The Marketplace where you can "buy it now"
- Has the option to cash out if needed, for an industry-standard fee
Cons:
- You may not have traders committing to send you cards right away, so if you need cards quickly, you’ll have to raise the price you’re willing to pay and hope that someone is going to commit to sending you those cards
- Marketplace now exists, but the overall inventory seems low (need to opt-in by the sellers to list cards as "buy it now")
- Only web-based, and no Android/Apple app available…so unable to set push notifications for new messages, price threshold, etc.
- If you become a Premium member ($6/month), you can download a CSV of your sales/purchases; however, that CSV is not easily importable to an app (ie ManaBox) or another website (ie Moxfield) because CS does not use Scryfall ID
With time, the CS community and The Marketplace will continue to grow, and the first 2 cons I mentioned will no longer be an issue.

2023.03.22 06:59 kennyab101 Dagger trigger install issues
Hello first time poster here but long time PSA ownecustomer. Within last four months I recently got a dagger. Love it for the most part besides the trigger. Well I bought a
Wheaton Arms Elite Pro-Carry Glock Trigger Assembly when installing said trigger after I was done I realized that while the trigger was resetting after pulling the trigger and racking the slide back it wasn’t resetting enough for the safety blade to go forward fully I could still press trigger and here firing pin click. Trying to figure out the issue any ideas?
This is picture of trigger all way forward
trigger forward This is a picture of trigger not sitting forward all the way but when I pull trigger you can hear firing pin click
trigger not forward Edit: I made sure I installed the trigger properly I ended up reinstalling trigger that came with dagger until I can properly figure out what’s going on here.

2023.03.22 06:56 Radiant-Substance477 Does anyone has a way to find out if someone is still in town or not
My TRO paper I can serve will be expired this Friday.
Since I stepped into the court house, my ex stopped harassing me and my lawyer...I'm sure he was tracking me. I've moved apartments, changed cars, cut my hair, changed from an iPhone to an android because he was using an airtag and my phone to track me. He's nowhere to be found ever since we broke up so I'm unable to serve him. I've tried PI and my lawyer went to his previous work place and I've asked sheriff's office for help...no results.
My credit card was used in another state at a gas station on Valentine's day. He posted my photo in his ig story after I moved again recently. An unknown number texted me with something he'd say. It's all very creepy and I'm scared.
Anyone knows any ways for me to know if he is still in town or not? He moved here from another state and he has lived in a lot of places...and have a lot of bad public records including multiple counts of DV at different times/places (which I didn't know until I ran background checks after I broke up with him).
Thanks.

2023.03.22 06:53 lover_of_language Process of applying for a first Irish passport as a new citizen from the FBR
Hello there! Glad to see so many other wonderful people on this path.
After a long wait (~2 years for me), I have just recently been added to the Foreign Births Registry and became a citizen! Now it's time to apply for a passport.
You may have noticed, depending on which webpage you view, the required documents needed to apply are vague or not talked about for FBR citizens, all it says is that you need to apply to be added to the FBR first. I don't know what this entails, and I'm just getting run in circles.
I'm also a citizen of the USA, so I was able to apply via PassportOnline. Having said this, I'm currently a degree student in Japan, which does not allow for applications through PassportOnline. There is a separate process for countries that don't have access to PassportOnline, so if you're also in this situation, please contact the Irish embassy that serves your region. [In my case, I'm trying to make it work via USA. I'll report back about whether it was successful.]
During the initial application:
- Photo submission
- Basic information submission
- Payment
After that, they confirm that the payment is successful and an application number is created. They ask for the following:
- Identity Verification Form (They will email the form to you in the confirmation email, and it is also available to be opened from the webpage) **Please note that the link in the confirmation email is only valid for 14 days and can only be accessed a maximum of 5 times**.
- The form must be signed by a witness that qualifies on Ireland's list of appropriate witnesses. Since this is something you also have to do during the FBR application process for the photos, this won't be new to you.
- Documents to mail with your application:
- Cover Page
- Identity Verification Form (witnessed)
- Birth Certificate
- **Documents to Verify Citizenship**
Because the link can only be accessed 5 times, I'm hesitant to open it now because I am unable to print it now. Because of my US-Japan situation, my family in the USA will need to print it and help me get it signed/witnessed. They can't help me until later this week.
I'm wondering what the full list of documents needed to verify my citizenship is. Is my original FBR certificate sufficient? Do I need to include all of the family documents that the FBR returned to me as well? If anyone has successfully applied and has the list of required documents, please let me know! I'll update this thread with the full process once I've been through it!

2023.03.22 06:41 Electrical_Syrup_503 Help - iPhone photo transfer now deleted
Hi there - my partner recently got a new iPhone and did the transfer of everything including photos to his new iPhone.
Once the transfer was completed and he was all signed into the new phone he reset the old one to hand into his boss. All the photos and messages etc were on the new phone.
We’ve discovered a day later all the photos are gone except about thirty random ones? Can someone assist or direct me where to go?
Happy to answer any questions -I’ve done it before myself so not sure where we could have gone wrong..

2023.03.22 06:28 Excellent_Crab5043 AITA for telling my husband it's ridiculous he's being so upset at his ex-girlfriend's death?
My husband and I are in our 30s, with a house and a son. We've got a good life.
About ten years ago he dated a girl. It wasn't really a "first love" thing, but he had just become an adult so it was the first person he really planned his life with, picked out names for future kids etc.. They broke up because he got a job offer for life-changing amounts of money across the country (where he met me) and she needed to stay home to look after some sick family members, or something like that.
He doesn't talk about her much because I think he doesn't want me to feel less wanted, but from what little he says they were perfect for each other and if that job offer hadn't happened they'd have a picture perfect life right now. Regardless, he's assured me he doesn't have feelings for her anymore, they stay in only sporadic contact, and she's been nothing but supportive of our relationship.
Recently, she died, of some sudden unexpected medical thing or another, one of those that you just never expect. This wasn't actually very recent, it was a few months ago but he's just found out. And since then he's been absolutely torn up. He's still a fantastic parent, but when our son is out of he house he hasn't been doing much but looking at old photos of them (which he said he got rid of) and crying. He's even taken a few sick days from work to grieve.
If it was a single day I get it, it must've been a shock, but it's nearing two weeks now and he's still completely inconsolable. He won't open up to me and I'm not sure if it's because he doesn't want to upset me by telling me at length how much he loved his ex-girlfriend or because he doesn't have any put-together thoughts besides sadness.
I got a little upset at him two days ago for not doing anything around the house (he's basically paralysed in bed sobbing when it comes to anything besides playing with our son) and I told him it was a little ridiculous he was this sad because he didn't even really know her anymore and that he told me she didn't matter to him anymore. I'm also a little pissed he kept the photos of them and I told him that. He started crying harder and I didn't apologize because I didn't feel like I was in the wrong. I honestly feel a little insulted, I've been with him for years longer than she was, I'm literally the mother of his child. I've never seen him this upset about anything, ever, not even when his grandmother (who he loved very much) died. It feels like he can't let go of her, especially looking at old photos of them together.
Since then he hasn't said a single word to me. I'm just not sure what to think, AITA?
Edit: Stop giving me insulting awards

2023.03.22 06:25 greyhwaren tret % and efficacy with acne
hi! is it possible for a tret% to be strong enough to cause purging, but too weak to actually generate improvements? essentially, is it possible for tret to aggravate the skin at a certain percentage but not be high enough to “fix” the problems it is creating? i ask because i am currently on tret 0.018% + 15% azelaic acid cream, with 100 mg daily spiro, and birth control (as my acne is entirely hormone related). i’m 7.5 weeks in to my treatment and my skin has never looked this bad. i’m seeing texture in areas i’ve never had before and continuing to get painful clusters of cysts in the same areas. there have been 0 improvements to the dozens upon dozens of closed comedones i deal with all under my mouth as well. seeing my before photos is a little disheartening and so i’m seeking ways to convince myself to keep going.
there is a chance this is a silly question, as it may not be how tret works, but it was something that i thought of and figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask!
also, my current routine, just in case:
AM:
- (I don’t wash my face in the AM unless I feel like I need it)
- Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner
- Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster
- DEW-GLOW MOISTURIZER SPF 50 by Naturium
PM:
- (Oil Cleanse) Banila Co. Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Nourishing
- (Reg. Wash) LRP Lipikar Wash AP+ Gentle Foaming Moisturizing Wash
- Round Lab & Torriden again
- (just started this yesterday) MUJI Sensitive Care Moisturizing Milk High Moisture
- Innisfree Intensive Hydrating Cream with Green Tea Seed
- Tret 0.018% + Azelaic Acid (every other night, skin couldn’t handle every night)
OFF DAYS: - Same, except I recently started incorporating Youth to The People KOMBUCHA + 10% AHA POWER EXFOLIANT, as I thought it might aid the tret in cleaning up what was being purged.

2023.03.22 06:20 Anxious-Beautiful617 Should I wait?
I am 14, I mostly had an attraction to girls but I found men's topless photos hot recently. Because sexuality is developed by the time you're 18, should I wait till 18 or should I go out with boys? ( Gays are heavily looked down upon in my society but are nonetheless legal.)

Hi I just recently enrolled into SSDC and I did it via their website. I didn’t see any option to choose to enroll as private student. This Saturday I will be heading down to SSDC for my photo taking and eye sight test. Do I just tell them I wan to switch or enroll as a private student? Will there be any fee applied ? I have not completed any TTT, BTT or FTT.

2023.03.22 06:04 RyanDrRyan Missing stroller
I feel like I’m living through a Mandela moment, but I distinctly remember the SVU opening credits having a photo of an overturned stroller, it’s one of my partner and I’s favorite parts of the opening next to the woman in the courtroom hiding her face in shame. However we noticed on this recent season it seems to be missing, we assumed it just got generally updated and replaced with something else, however rewatching some old episodes now (Authority 9/17) we noticed the stroller is still not there!
Does anyone have any insider info about it and why it was changes? Or at the very least sharing that they remember the same overturned stroller I do so I don’t feel like I’ve slipped into an alternate reality

2023.03.22 05:57 Taemojitsu [Casual] Do you care what others think of you? (Everyone)
https://forms.gle/wFj66FSG8FRsDUfz9 This survey is a reaction to
The Glory, a Korean drama about a lady becoming the elementary school teacher of the daughter of her high school abuser in order to get revenge. School violence seems to be a relatively common topic in Korean dramas: the classic
Boys Over Flowers (Japanese
Hana Yori Dango, Chinese
Meteor Garden) had it as a problem to be solved; the recent
All of Us Are Dead opens with a chilling portrayal of bullying that ends with a death; and even
Extraordinary Attorney Woo had flashbacks to bullying and the protective response of another student.
The Glory features several characters who act like they don't care what others think of them, because their money can solve any problems that would normally result from poor behavior. However, (spoilers) things turn out poorly for at least one character who thinks this way. Notably, at least one character who is unhappy at the end of the show would be considered physically attractive, and so the ending contrasts with what TV Tropes calls "Beauty Equals Goodness". Although this survey's primary focus is whether people think they are incentivized for acting in a certain way, it also examines attitudes towards this trope.
Note: "caring what people think about me" can mean "I don't want people to think I'm a rude, abusive, inconsiderate meanie" and it can also mean "I want people to click Like on this photo I posted".
