RE: WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else
@Tsaukpaetra Well, if you're genuinely interested, keep reading, otherwise skip.
I'm not sure it really counts as a mount point, because that would require root access. It's using something called Storage Access Framework, and any software needs to be written to use it if it wants to access anything mounted by the Paragon software. FX file explorer is. Whatever part of the android os that shits all over usb drives isn't. Additionally, it has to allow adding locations. As I understand it, SAF is what allows the Samsung file browser to access my Samsung files, Google Drive, and Onedrive. Since there is no button to add an arbitrary location, it can't use the Paragon-mounted drives. FX does have such a button, so can.

RE: WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else
@Tsaukpaetra I thought we were having a joke here, because your suggestion was to make it completely useless.
Besides, I don't think the mounter even causes the system to see it to the point android will be able to do start with the Android directory nonsense.

RE: Building the most inaccessible site possible with a perfect Lighthouse score
@Watson No, it's not. But somehow there has been a bug that could cause a COMMIT to fail yet return success.
My point isn't that SQLite is bad (I'm currently using it in several projects) but that no matter how hard you test, you'll never get all the bugs.

RE: WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else
@Tsaukpaetra No, I paid for the Paragon mounter, so they're actually usable on my phone. Before you suggest HFS+, it supports that too. I guess ZFS or BTRFS, but I don't have anything at all that supports those. I can't see creating a dual-boot or vm just to format a drive as something that I can't use to be useful.

RE: The ending of an era
@Rhywden So that's 3 put of how many popular web comics? K&K also has the distinction of being one of the oldest web comics ever. I started reading it on Compuserve.

RE: WTF is happening with Windows 11? And nothing else
@Arantor But it doesn't fuck up the association. I tried two different Win11 PCs that never had any other 3D software installed. Creating an empty .stl file and attempting to open it pops up the app selection dialog. Suggested apps are 3D Viewer, Paint 3D, and Print 3D.

@Tsaukpaetra Now tell me how to get android to stop puking the Android directory on every drive I plug into it

RE: In other news today...
@TwelveBaud Some of the recent Logitech ones support both. Look for the ones that support multiple connections. I have an MX Keys and an MX Master3, both of which support 3 connections. I havr 1 and 3 set to the dongles that came with them. 2 is reserved for bluetooth, usually my laptop. 1 is the desktop. 3 is the dongle that's used whenever I need to connect to something else, like the server or a computer I'm repairing or setting up.

RE: WTF Bites
@TwelveBaud said in WTF Bites:
You mentioned .NET, which means your program is already run as 32-bit by default.
This is 2020, not 2012. The check box works perfectly fine if you target 4.5+. Possibly lower; I just don't have any version between 4.0 and 4.5 installed.

@Tsaukpaetra Why not use a keyboard with a compose key‽
Oh wait, not interrobang, some proprietary and trademarked char. NEVER MIND.

RE: SVN question
It depends on the development pattern you're using. If it's a feature branch (branched only to work on a feature), then it shouldn't be merged until completed and all trunk changes have been merged into the branch. If it's any other type (stable, release, dev, etc.), then you just don't use --reintegrate.

RE: Enterprise Ubiquiti Unifi
@captain We have 5 APs, with one in wireless mesh mode. The software is running as a service on the going-to-be-the-new-dc-as-soon-as-we-have-time-to-drop-everything-off-the-old-one-and-join-the-new-one server.
In contrast to the engenious ones we used to have, which frequently locked up despite rebooting automatically every 12 hours, these are stable to the point of rebooting only when there's an update or a power outage.
We're not using any of their switches or gateways, though. The main vlan just uses the dc. The "public" vlan goes through an old netgear with tomato on it.
And I have no problem getting wireless printers on it either.

RE: UI Iconography
Can the real test mark questions for later? If not, then allowing your users to mark questions for later is just as "wrong" as presenting the unanswered questions later, and "breaks" the "workflow" just as much. They'll get used to marking questions for later and won't have that to fall back on when they take the real test.
You asked a question, and @blakeyrat thought it was the wrong question. He gets trolled because he responds, but he's often right. Sometimes this place is worse than high school.
You should read OldNewThing, you'll see how often the wrong question is asked.

RE: Epic Store (and other "Occupy Steam" movements)
@loopback0 said in Epic Store (and other "Occupy Steam" movements):
Apple only have 25% of the mobile market.
No, they have 45% in the USA, which is the only thing that counts for US anti-teust regulations. Non-USA percentages don't matter.

@acrow I saw a youtube video about this. It was an Owens-Corning plant and they spun it into housing insulation.

RE: Help Bites
@Benjamin-Hall "Other devices" have what for the DNS server? On my home network, the router handles dhcp and dns, so sends its own ip for the DNS in the DHCP offer. This means my PC is sergyar and my printer is ml2851 and can be found by these names by anything else, because they are told the DNS is the router.

RE: Salvaging an unresponsive Windows server
@Unperverted-Vixen "enable administrator account from recovery console" e.g. https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/enable-built-in-administrator-windows-10-recovery-options-advanced/ for enabling, then you need to edit the registry, "enable automatic login windows" e.g. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/324737/how-to-turn-on-automatic-logon-in-windows. You might need to make a .reg file on another computer and import from the command line.
-
RE: Salvaging an unresponsive Windows server
@Tsaukpaetra Yes, which is why you set it to auto, and maybe then it works because it doesn't need to show loginui. I'm not saying it will work or is even possible, it's a "try variations on this in google" suggestion.

RE: Salvaging an unresponsive Windows server
Here's an idea. Is it possible to use recovery console to enable the hidden administrator account and set it to auto-login?

RE: Blakeyrat complains about Android, because it's shit
@twelvebaud That's because I installed a serif system font but the spinners don't use it.
The spinners also have inertial scrolling, so it's not hard to scroll because you just give it a flick then fine-tune it after tapping to stop.

RE: Windows Server Storage Spaces
@Polygeekery The Synology can also handle the cameras, but you need rather pricy licences past the first two cameras ($370 for an 8 camera license). This however means you don't need the server to be messing with the cameras. The only experience I have with Synology is the cheapest 2-drive unit we are using as the backup server, but it's been rock solid for years now.

RE: And that is why I shouldn't have bought a "gaming" mouse...
@heterodox I failed to note that it's mapping the wrong language. That would still be wrong for defaults, unless you have a default layout for each keyboard. And if it's stored on the server, would change on different computers. Or wherever it's stored, if you switch languages. Like say you're French-Canadian, use the French-Canadian layout, but switch to English to talk your guild.

RE: YAWTC (Yet Another Windows Ten Complaint)
I would like to point out that the lack of 16-bit support is due to AMD's design (and Intel's and VIA's implementation of) x86-64. If the processor is switched to "long mode," it is incapable of running 16-bit real mode or virtual 8086 code at all. For Windows to support this ancient code would require full emulation. Microsoft decided "fuck that shit" (rightly so, IMO) and implemented it only for some installers.

RE: Home Depot Hack Turns Into Criminal Negligence Scandal
This is a fun one to speculate on. One possibility is that it might have something to do with jurisprudence — firing someone for being accused of a crime seems legally questionable.
Are you kidding me? This is the US of A, you can be fired for being overheard telling a crude joke to your friend. You can be fired for almost anything. Unless you're in a union. Or Catholic clergy.

RE: WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else
@Tsaukpaetra You need faststream to do high-quality audio and a microphone, otherwise yes, you end up with headset quality. Almost nothing supports faststream, though. Avantree has a few items that work well.

RE: Products for Dumb Suckers
Oh, and while we're at it: given the existence of the .msi package format, and the fact that when you download and double-click a .msi you get Windows Installer cranking up to install it, why TF is everybody still pushing out .exe installers instead?
Bootstrappers that make sure that e.g. .net 4.0 is installed, and download and install it if it is not.@powerlord said:Now... having said all this, I'd like to remind everyone that Microsoft has included the OneGet package manager in the Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Similar to Chocolatey. -

RE: Blakey don't ssh
Because without the agent, the password either needs to be in a configuration file, or needs to be typed every time something needs to use the key. With the agent, you put the password in once at login.

RE: WTF Bites
@Tsaukpaetra Great, last doc I lloked at said that was a good one because .internal wasn't. WTF should I have used then? Not that I really feel like changing it again, that's a pain in the ass.
This *.local wildcard would fuck up mDNS too presumably, so is still a WTF.
