@adanskana @sachac @louis
can I ask for some opinions on the clim / emacs / lisp useage as conveyed by videos?

This is pretty much just what I really do when near a computer for eight minutes.

Possibly naïve question… can we embed a Mastodon post into a site, like others can do with X?

🆕 blog! “HDR on a Pioneer VSX-933”

I bloody hate hardware manufacturers. I wanted to use HDR on my PlayStation 5. The console supports it, my TV supports it, my amp supports it, my cables support it. Yet it wasn't working. I tried everything - updating firmware, replacing cables, and even reading the manual. Nothing. And then I stumbled on the answer […]

HDR on a Pioneer VSX-933
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/05/hdr-on-a-pioneer-vsx-933/

I bloody hate hardware manufacturers. I wanted to use HDR on my PlayStation 5. The console supports it, my TV supports it, my amp supports it, my cables support it. Yet it wasn't working. I tried everything - updating firmware, replacing cables, and even reading the manual. Nothing.

And then I stumbled on the answer thanks to a random forum post.

Perform the following procedure when the unit is on.

  1. While pressing DIMMER on the main unit, press AUTO/DIRECT to display the current setting on the display. While this is being displayed, while pressing DIMMER on the main unit, repeatedly press AUTO/DIRECT to switch the setting.
  2. To exit the settings, release your finger. After a few seconds, the display goes out and the switching is complete.

Once the setting was changed to "Enhanced" HDR worked! But why isn't it in the manual? A bit of searching for the text finds a file called manual/ .

So I assume that this is a supplement meant to update the original manual - it is mentioned as new functionality introduced after a firmware update. But why isn't it in the main manual?

If you visit the VSX-933 product page you can download the manual, but there's no mention of a supplement or an update. The original manual was released in 2018, and the supplement in 2019.

I wonder what other features this amp is hiding that Pioneer simply haven't bothered to tell anyone about?

Any action dictates the name of its return value. For example, "Ask For Input" has a return value that is named "Provided Input”; if you use more than one instance of any action in your workflow, then all their return values will be named the same, which can be pretty confusing.

So I've made a quick video about how to rename those result values in your / Shortcuts workflows:

Do you ever stumble upon an old Excel file that's locked with a password and you can't remember what it is? This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if the file contains valuable data! 😩

In my latest video, I show you a surprisingly easy way to remove worksheet protection from any Excel file, even if you don't have the password! This trick is perfect for those times when you're locked out of your own information.

The best part? You don't need any fancy software to do it! Just a little bit of text editing will do the trick. 😉
