Today in hilarity #RocketLeague has started opening the keyboard for saving replays under the actual game itself. Which means you can't see it. Makes it a bit tricky to actually use. Also seems to block keyboard input which means you can't just "AAA[enter]" to get out of it. Just A+ work.
@zimpenfish I had that problem with a chess screen saver on my Mac because the first time you ran the chess program it used it opened a dialog box... which was hidden under the screen saver, but it blocked interaction with the screen saver until the dialog box was clicked.
Enjoying™ running Steam Big Picture on Windows. Best bit is when it forgets the controller exists (often immediately after I've been playing a game WITH THE CONTROLLER) and I have to find the keyboard and mouse to click things.
No, tell a lie, best bit is when it randomly task-switches mid-game back to Big Picture. Really helpful in, say, Rocket League.
If I could get the games I play on a console, I'd dump this godforsaken mess in the bin.
Anyone got any great suggestions on how to identify where my old partitions where on this disk? testdisk has failed to identify any and that seems to be the suggested solution. Or something that can identify the start of ext4 filesystems would work? Otherwise it’s file recovery and crying…
Watching YouTube videos to get some tips on how to do better soldering and I cannot get past the ludicrousness of the way Americans say "SODDER".
I bet they go on confidence courses to get BODDER. And put the heating on when the weather gets CODDER. Then filing the heating bills in their FODDER which they hang in their file HODDER.
Well, a weather-proof, 60fps, 1920x1080, good quality, PTZ IP webcam (optionally with IR but the birds generally come in daylight.) Wired is acceptable but Wifi5/6 would be much more convenient but RTSP/ONVIF are essential.
It seems no-one does a 60fps model anywhere I can find and even 30fps seems rare. Also I do not want to pay ££s.
“I was bullish on lobste.rs because I thought that it could form a real alternative to HN – but as it turns out, it’s just the very worst of HN without any of its redeeming qualities.”
OUCH.
(I disagree mildly on the grounds that lobsters has gate-kept membership which does keep most of the insane riffraff doing drive-by commentary out. It still has some spectacularly toxic comment threads and commenters though.)
I have somehow ended up in a job where the (new) team I'm on has dropped scrum and sprints in favour of kanban. Good grief, I may actually enjoy the upcoming months of work!
AND someone just suggested not paying an external vendor for a simple service but instead implementing it in-house. I feel like I've won a lottery.
(obviously they're still doing standups because heaven knows you can't trust your developers without a daily inspection by micro-management.)
@zimpenfish
I hope they learned at least a bit about Kanban.
Usually it's just Scrum with no plan and a never ending changing to-do list. And the retrospective has to go too, nobody wants to look back.
"The Bricklayer" has one of those "just incredibly bad at their job, swerves their assigned partnet, gets people killed, mid-life crisis starter kit, inexplicably attractive to people" heroes that is just tedious to watch.
Today I am trying to work out which books I read on the Kindle in 2023 by looking at the timestamps of the cover images in its application data directory. Because this is pretty much the only damn way you can find out (other than keeping a manual log which I eventually started doing from about April.)
(Don’t even think you can get this info from the device itself either.)
@cdamian Still effectively manual for Kindle Unlimited reads, I think, which have been the majority this year. Because why would you want to keep track of those? Stupid nonsense.
The one time I don't have any microphones set up or to hand, the crows and magpies decide to have a world war right outside the window involving them flying back and forth whilst fighting. It would have been an EPIC recording.
