She did a follow-up on this on a recent Q&A with Adam Savage. She doesn’t use it at all, because her stump is too small. This means she has almost no leverage and strength in the stump. She said she likes the aesthetics but it’s not practical.

Imho she needs something with like a servo assist or something hydraulic. But that means stuff like a power supply, pump, sensor, controller, plumbing etc. It would get messy fast for something that’s on your hand. If it’s more of the hand it could make sense, but the loss of only the little finger probably has almost zero impact on the use of the hand.

That’s still very cheap, the 1€-Store near me has almost nothing at 1€ anymore. It’s become more like the 5€ store.

And everything is SO FUCKING SLOW. I swear my old Celeron 300A at 500mhz running Windows 98 and SUSE Linux was super responsive. Everything you clicked just responded right away, everything felt smooth and snappy. Chatting with people over the internet using ICQ or MSN was basically instant, all the windows opened instantly, typing had zero latency and sending messages was instant.

My current Ryzen 5950X is not only a billion times faster, it also has 16 times the number of cores. I have hundreds of times the RAM as I had HDD capacity on that old system. Yet everything is slower, typing has latency, starting up Teams takes 5 minutes. Doing anything is slow, everything has latency and you need to wait for things to finish loading and rendering unless you want everything to mess up and you’d have to wait even more.

+1 for FreeRDP, I use it all the time!

But he’ll throw in a slightly fucked couch for free!

Hair is 100% genetic, products ain’t going to do shit about that. It’s all just a scam targeted at insecure men who want to achieve unrealistic body standards pushed by society. Just own the bald, or don’t, do what you want to do and fuck society.

I have to say this man aged like fine wine

Just so you know, operating spinning drives this way is a bad idea. If the platters are spinning and the drive tips over, the rotation of the drives resists the movement. This gyroscopic force is enough for the platters to touch the heads which are flying a tiny distance above the platter. Obviously this is a bad thing and will damage the drives.

A quick fix is to just lay them flat or fix both of them together so they have a more stable base to stand on. Putting it in an enclosure is even better.

Maybe I worded it incorrectly. The feature was released in that version. They just didn’t mention it in the release statement they put out to their customers. I’m sure there’s some changelog somewhere people can dig into where it says something like what you mentioned. Or it can just be under “Various small improvements” which they always add as a catch-all.

So I’m happy, I did the job and got paid. Everyone I worked with was happy. And the feature got released. It’s was just a let down it didn’t get mentioned at all, even though I put quite a lot of work into it.

I recently put in a lot of hours for a software system to be able to handle webp just as well as every other image format it already accepted. I put in a lot of work as well. Hadn’t heard about it for a while, but saw the feature release statement for the new version I knew my changes were in. It wasn’t on there. So I reached out to my contact and asked if there was an issue or did it get bumped to a later version or what? So she told me the marketing team that do the release statements decided not to include it. They stated for one, people already expect common formats to be handled. Saying you now handle a format looks bad, since people know you didn’t handle it before and were behind the curve. The second (probably more important) reason was nobody knew what webp even was and it’s only something technical people care about (they probably said nerds, but my contact translated). So no regular customer would be interested and it could only lead to confusion and questions.

I hope somebody is happy with the work I put in tho. Somebody is going to drag a webp into the system and have it be accepted. Someday… I hope…

I’ve looked into Revolt and it isn’t there quite yet. But the road map is extremely promising. I’ll keep my eye on it and as soon as they finish up a couple more features I’m going to use it.

Can’t wait for this update, those audio indicators being bugged annoys me every day.

And then the troubleshooting steps are like reset the app, reset your account and if that doesn’t fix it reinstall Windows. If it still won’t work, buy a new computer.

It’s terrible, just give me the info I need to figure out the root cause. It’s probably very easy to fix. Instead of the ol’ nuke it from orbit approach.

And it’s not just on the side of consumers either. More and more people are using docker to run shit and just reset or reinstall whenever an issue pops up. Sure that’s often faster and it might work, but it won’t prevent the issue from returning and you won’t have learned anything. I learned the most from fixing broken shit. It requires you to figure out how it should work and what’s preventing it from working like that. We are making ourselves dumber this way.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. It doesn’t seem that easy but might be an option

Looks good, but video chat is a must have. We like to give each other the middle finger often.

I’ve been looking for an alternative as well. My gaming friends always use Skype when we play together. We started a million years ago when Skype was huge and everyone had it and since it kept working, we kept it around.

We tried a lot of stuff, but nothing just works the way Skype always did. Why did MS have to be bitches and get rid of it.

HOW CAN SHE SNAP?

When my grandpa used to visit every Tuesday, he would join us for dinner, then some coffee after dinner. We would sit on the couch and chat a bit and at some point grandpa would fall asleep. The rest of us just went about our evening, watching some TV, playing a game, just chatting or whatever. After an hour or so, he would wake up, slap his knee, tell us it was a great evening and head home.

It was actually kind of sweet how that old man would fall asleep. That’s why you don’t fucking elect grandpa to run the country.

One thing to note, if you are using UEFI this is very unlikely to happen. It was designed from the start to have multiple boot options and Windows itself often has multiple entries. It is very rare for a Windows update to mess with any other boot options in UEFI.
