I hate the fact that if you want to change the case on a file in windows, you can’t just replace the offending letter. You have to change the name completely, then change it back with the correct casing. Then Windows will finally keep it.

I always made the mistake of starting to edit videos, finish up, then looking up the video fps and matching the project type before output. Immediate crash.

This is actually a question I’d like some opinions on!

I have a ton of headless servers running Debian that I just replace the sources.list for an upgrade. I imagine things are much more complicated when switches like X11 to Wayland happen, so all desktop environments get a wipe/install instead… But maybe I’m just making a lot of work for myself doing that!

That would be Nintendo themselves. The fools recommend port forwarding everything to the Switch.

What are they going to write about next, the dangers of unsigned drivers and how easily they infect Windows 98? lol

I wonder how many people still directly connect to the internet without a gateway. It seems sensational to say “INSTANTLY INFECTED” and then tiny print (in a way that nobody connects to the internet since 1999). But maybe I’m just ignorant to how large a market still use direct connection.

-but more seriously, the plushy idea seems the least complicated. If you’re worried about tripping, put a yarn lasso around so it can be pulled away.

Your doorbell buzzer sounds a lot like what is used for deaf dogs. Tap the button on the radio transmitter and the collar vibrates to get attention. I imagine a small dog collar could be worn around the wrist or ankle. Just make sure it’s vibration only :P

I’d love to see the process they used when they decided to throw away backward compatibility with PSVR1 software. Surely at least one person on the team said it was a bad idea.

I thought out of all the VR hardware manufactures out there… Sony would be the one who had the best chance to get it right. They’ve got a static SKU of hardware for all software devs to target. They’ve got multiple organizations in every known type of electronic device. Yet here we are on round two of them flubbing the potential.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen any showstoppers for the jellyfin Roku client, but I will say it seems rather inconsistent when using the media options menu after selecting a movie. Sometimes choosing a different video reverts to the default top choice when you hit play. Sometimes the audio selections don’t match up with the chosen video but rather a different video option, meaning any choice is the wrong choice. At one point I even got the client to say that AAC Stereo was both the chosen Video and Audio. It’s really hard to describe and never enough a nuisance to wade through the process of opening an issue.

So, is this game DOA?

I always saw the higher $60 games were cartridge-based games, while the CD-ROM equivalent was cheaper. When everybody switched away from cartridges it dropped back down to $50 being the norm until around 2005-2006.

Does discovery mode not have a timer? Feels like that should be the default mode… turn it on, you have x amount of time to find and pair before it turns back off.

Can’t say I have any interesting stories. Most of mine are just the head-scratching “I don’t know why that didn’t work; guess I need to reinstall” kind of story. Like enabling encrypted LVM on install and suddenly nothing is visible to UEFI. Or trying to switch desktop environments using tasksel and now I have a blank screen on next reboot. That lame kind of stuff.

My coworker though… he was mindlessly copy/pasting commands and did the classic rm -rf $UNSETVARIABLE while in / and nuked months of migrated data on his newly built system. He hadn’t even set up backups yet. Management was upset but lenient.

It didn’t help that when they enabled USB boot for RPis, the first thing everybody did was connect cheap USB flash drives that corrupted even faster.

I find it pretty easy to use when building my 3d print adapters, brackets, containers and very simple objects. But if, like me, spaghetti code is your natural language… OpenSCAD does you no favors.

I’m not sure why people are suggesting that RetroPie is tied to Raspberry Pi. RetroPie is a setup script that’ll run on Debian-based distros, even on x86-64 PC. It’ll do the install of EmulationStation, along with any selected consoles of your choice.

Of their officially supported emulators, it doesn’t look like PS3 is in the list though.

Are you talking about this one?
