Does anyone know if there exists such a thing as a recessed USB receptacle that can fit in a (US) 1 gang electrical box, that would allow me to flush-mount a USB-powered device, so that the cord would just be hidden in back going into the receptacle? The application is that there’s already a box with 110V power to it, where I want to do this. #DIY#HomeImprovement#LazyWeb#LazyMastodon
Dear #python#lazyweb how do I create an instance of a dataclass with only some of the values specified? I can't seem to find a way to specify attribute names in the constructor, must I always just provide values in the order that they are specified in the class definition?
Dear #LazyWeb: What is needed to get Google to show me fun AI suggestions like adding glue to pizza sauce? How do I get the fake-#AI results?
I am not kidding. Most of my searches are on macOS (12 & 14) using Safari and occasionally other browsers (I've got 7 installed...) but I only log into my G accounts on an as-needed basis and because I use a real mail client for email, I almost never need to log in. I wipe cookies on every browser restart.
If someone wanted to play with running some JavaScript code inside a JVM application, is there an obvious right JS implementation to choose? Nashorn is deprecated (I think). I see Rhino and Javet and maybe others. #lazyweb
Dear #Lazyweb my apple watch wants me to enter my itunes password. But my password is long and strong and I have been unable to do it on the stupid fingerpainting interface for months. Is there an alternative?
I want to understand this, but I can’t grok more than the headline and the potential applications. Is anyone able to explain it to someone whose physics knowledge is Year 12 + Vertasium? Like, how do massless photons even have momentum?! #science#lazyweb https://mastodon.social/@ScienceScholar/112401789379876027
On iOS 17, how do I load an existing ringtone onto the phone? The online directions I’ve found use iTunes, which is not on current macOS, or recording a sound on the phone. I already have the sound on my computer. I can load the ringtone as a file, but it doesn’t show for phone or text tones. #lazyweb#apple
#lazyweb I need a used-working NVMe SSD (2280). Anyone have an one they'd be willing to part with for the cost of shipping (plus a convenience fee)? 1TB preferred, but I'm fine with any size.
I'm looking to do all this under $15.
It's fine if it's used because I want to test if my 2017 desktop supports NVMe (and the answer seems to be... possibly... not even Acer seems to be sure).
Dear #LazyWeb I'd like to create a interactive prototype, nothing complicated, just a simple slider than when I move it, animates a range of simulated LEDs (about 100 of them). My first through was Processing but I'm open to other suggestions.
My issue with any choice is the start up cost, it's usually quite tedious to get started before I can get to the fun part. Any suggestions?
does anyone have the sequence of words that make <C-u> and <C-d> in less (or moar) and neo/vim jump up and down by a specific proportion of the viewport hight
#LazyWeb: I want to make a photo blog using something like hugo, but I don't want to commit huge amounts of photos to a git repo. What are y'all using to host large amounts of photos to add to hugo blogs?
Would anyone care to recommend a CO2 monitor I can prop up next to my desk to remind me when to ventilate?
Bonus marks if it's both powered and portable, so I can occasionally take it to meetings and opt out when things get too muggy. I don't care about recording numbers over time. UK purchase.
I have a custom domain I bought through Squarespace for a site they're currently hosting, but I want to move my site elsewhere. I could leave the domain at Squarespace, but I kind of want to transfer it elsewhere, too. Thoughts? Suggestions for another host that isn't GoDaddy? 😛
I’m off work next week and planning to read some Ursula K Le Guin, whose works I’ve unconscionably omitted from my reading until being obliquely recommended “Vaster Than Empires And More Slow” recently. Having done that, where should I start? #LazyWeb#RecommendationsPlease
Help me #LazyWeb. I want to insert something into my #OrgMode documents that will resolve to the current date (ISO8601) when I call org-latex-export-to-pdf—i.e. it will give the PDF document a visible last-edited date. I have some LaTeX that does this in LyX, but I haven't got Org to pass it through…
