Genshin Impact, a popular PC/mobile/console game, has a similar purchase, https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Blessing_of_the_Welki...

Fairly sure it is done this way to induce anxiety to login every day.


Yup, it is to ensure daily engagement. Many other games have similar check-in based rewards, free or purchase-able.


If someone writes a bot to log in and out every day, would that count?


Why would you willingly seek a permanent account ban for ToS breach?


Because these types of bots are common and the risk of being banned for this type of simple bot are near zero.


Like the stackoverflow badge "Fanatic" you get for "Visit the site each day for 100 consecutive days."

Warframe also used to have something similar, you can breed animals to act as companions and helpers during missions. If you didnt spend resources on them they would eventually degrade and die after 20 or so days


www.moex.com seems to be resolving to 0.0.0.0 - explains why it can't be reached.

nslookup www.moex.com 8.8.8.8 Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer: Name: cl-ae0978b2.gcdn.co Address: 0.0.0.0 Aliases: www.moex.com


How does this add any value above existing products that do the same?


Well, I heard skype got rid of encryption, while this is encrypted end to end.

You don't run this through your google account, only your phone number is needed to sign up.

The new video protocol supposedly degrades better if you go somewhere where the service is slower.

I'm sure there are others.


> You don't run this through your google account, only your phone number is needed to sign up.

This does not add any value if I want to have two different Duo accounts - e.g., one for personal use, and one for business use.


parent is being sarcastic.


No but it does seem possible to add it by hacking the Electron files post-creation.

Haven't tried it but I have some sites that use flash (mostly music streaming) that aren't playing well with Electron-based apps.


I've been using https://bvckup2.com/ to backup large files to a USB drive. Hasn't failed me yet.


This is a phenomenally well-done software and I am too using it for daily backups, but it's likely not what OP wants with his "disk-wide" conditional. He needs something that does full-system backups, e.g. http://ax64.com


Isn't this just file sync, and not incremental backups?

I.e. if I accidentally delete a file on my PC, the synced version disappears as well? No recovery possible.


From the homepage:

"Archiving of deleted items Move backup copies of deleted items into a special archive directory and delete them from there after a grace period."
