exactly. i too remember getting into vcd and svcd as a way to get video to my tv. I remember making some sort of Matrox to SCART lead and later I eventually got a TV (sony tritron) with s-vid that also helped the transition. it wasn’t until I got a plasma (px80) and popcorn hour a110 that i freed myself up from hacky cds and trailing wires. this was early 2000’s

Sorry yes. I see what was meant now.

Im not talking about cost im talking about relative size of batterys.

What would be REALLY vaulable would be a 141% enlarge mode. Ie since the screens are the same ratio there is no reason that when open it could just display exactly the same except larger. This is a piece of piss to program if they haven’t already put it in accessibility settings. This feature alone would drive certain demographics to this device.

I had a 12 mini and although batt life could be a complaint for me it was fine since i charged in car on cummute 2x a day and was never farther 10 feet from a charger if required so it actually worked really well. This is the same argument EV proponents make when people complain about lack of card with 500 mile range. In practical terms its just very rarely actually needed.

Gun, possibly?

Tell your kids ‘no’

Bring some sanity back to the world.

You need plex pass to do this now. They changed it recently you didnt used to need it.

It shouldnt be blurry unless its a 1440p screen running at 1080..

Why use any? Why force yourself to comply with the arbitrary limitations imposed by some third party somehwere. For what?

What makes it ’quiet’?

I found Thimbleweed Park 1 very difficult. The puzzles were too hard. I didn't complete it. I tried to play it with my girlfriend, I thought it would be a nice game to work together to play/solve. It stumped both of us. No fun.

Just a note: using the noir plugin for safari i had to disable it as the map is dark and invisible. Maybe its a layer thing.

This is really neat. Could this data be linked to quality of life indexes and see if there’s any correlation?

it is possible in normal mine sweeper to have a postion where you cant determine 100% whether a square is a mine or not. In this cases you just have to guess. Try to identify them early as possible since they can ruin the game with an unlucky guess.

Just tell him you are working on juggling 5 balls.

This decodes to "SEGFAULT ERROR".

The corrupted, glitchy text visual style is commonly known as Zalgo text, created by combining many special overlapping character symbols.

Yes. Its a red flag that indicates everything else you’ve said is not honest by implication.

yes i meant polar coords

It's cool I like it, but seems a little overkill on the HW. no matter. One thing though, how is the screen 1080px1080 ? Is it a 1080p square, with the visible pixles a circle cut out of that ? I doubt it's a non rectilinear pixel grid. i guess it's x y coords, rather than cartesian ?

uninstall the app. my life is much better since i uninstalled most apps and I just use the web pages these days. To take ONE benefit from not using the youtube app, and instead using a browser: I can open more than one video at once.

> Yeah I mean the whole "OMG I have to pre-order my vegan meals??!"

yeah that got me . not sure specifically but it felt a bit weird. Also I appreciate this post is about the interrailing, but it felt after reading all the y did was catch trains for the duration, but no mention of anything that they did or saw in all these places.

Sounds horrendous.

Seriously though thats a different type of communication though? Can you host slack on prem?

Yes. How do you do it otherwise?

Heres an somewhat contrived example scenario.

I’m going to McDonalds what do you want— a big mac meal sure no problem.

Get there. Oh wait what did he want for a drink? Coke? Coffee? Water?

Send a text what you want to drink?

No answer — what do you do?

Instead text should be saying ‘getting u a coke unless you let me know’

No answer in time, so you just get a coke for your friend and if he doesn’t like it tough.

So in that sense i guess yes its a polite notice. But it points to failures in the process .

You should have known what he wanted to drink before going.

You have or now create a policy that states in cases of unknown drink or default is coke.

If your guys ‘don’t’ know whether they can drop feature X or ship late they have been failed by the level above that should state shipping is priority. Therefore dropping a feature is the only action that they can take.

But in take the other point that you do need some authority . Without it progress will stall, and this becomes management issue again. They didn’t ensure you had the info or resource to do the thing.

Edit to add after thinking about it a bit more, that when dealing with customers a slow customer can stall your whole op if you make waiting on a decision from them. Just tell then what you are doing and it lets you proceed. If they come back later with opposite decision then you just do that as well,typically.

Outputting files to a customer :

Do you want them named like this or like that?

No— tell them how you are naming them and if they dont like it theybwil let you know.

Its about removing decisions from customer as most of the time they dont even know what they want

in his email he says :

Please reply by 3 pm today so we can confirm with the client.

in my experience when an action relies on somebody 'coming back' ESPECIALLY if it's a client. (do you want this, or that?)

It's best to tell them what you are going to do, unless they confirm otherwise.

e.g. We will proceed with removing feature Y to meet deadline of Mar 19, unless otherwise directed by 3pm today.

This avoids the limbo situtation where a team can't progress because they don't have clarity on X or Y.

Not always applicable but I find it works a lot of the time.

After sending emails to suppliers, they would often answer the first point in the text but ignore later points. This speaks to the send only 1 thing in an email, but if you have a few questions about something then put them in a numbered list.

I found response quality went way up when i did this, and often the responses were along the lines of :

1. do this 2. yes that's right 3. ok we note that

which i'm sure helps them becuaes the email is easier to read and parse in the first place and easier to write a reply to.

in the youtube video, by 'product' do they mean 'website' ?

I feel I'm missing some basics as to what this can do for me or what problem it solves.

edit so it's like google analytics .

haha yes. I got 2 and it said come back in 9hours. LOL. Ain't nobody got time for that.

well. perhaps through some kind of reverse psychology, i decided to check it out. turns out its a podcast player. which IS of interest to me since the apple podcast player is truly horrendous to use.

The migration of podcasts from apple podcast to this is quite good.

I don't understand what the X and tick buttons do. Interface is pretty dense, with pop up fucntions I count about 6 'rows' of 'buttons' that i can choose to press. that's quite a lot

my biggest issue with the podcasts app is just getting back to the podcast show page so i can choose the next program. I can't seem to do it on your app either.

from the main play screen (which as fasr as i can see is only accessibly by pressing a tiny up arrow at the lower left of the screen) I then press the big picture - it takes me to the episode. then i click the show banner and it takes me to the list not bad. But then how do i get back to the main show player? If i click the show (that's playing) it does this weird extra row of buttins (play X tick star and inbox) ..

do i need to click the tiny right arrow icon. OK this takes me to the episode details. I tried to click 'play' again at the bottom but it linked me to a sponser link since there appears to be a hyperlink in the descriptino text under the play button. I don't know how to get back to the main playback page that shows the picture and gives me the big controls. I've spent a few mins on this so far going in circles. Presed Tick a few times, i still don't know what it does.

Nope. I can't find out how to get to the main page. Also its difficult to tell if a podcast is actually playing or not. (i have sound turned down as I do all this)

I will maybe check it out a bit more but It seems very fiddly and twitchy.

IMO podcast app needs a couple of things :

1. constant playback/progress bar. If a podcast is playing, at all times I should have a progress bar, with skip,back,pause controls.

2. I should be able to one press back to the main play screen 3. one press backto the podcast show page (with the list of eps) 4. one press back to the podcast list page (with list of podcasts)

I do like what looks like nice speed adjuster, sleep, and audio enhancers . not tried yet.

hah i feel a bit thick as I still can't work out how to get back to a screen n that shows the currently playing podcast with a progress bar. lol.

ahh i just saw this. I will try your software when i get a minute.

yeah but it's not configurable for local vs network as far as i can tell
