@magus Air conditioning is a magical invention. I have no clue how people lived in hot places (I'm in Central Florida) without it.
Two months ago, I bought my first car with air-con, and now, I can't imagine ever owning a car without it.
And I live in the north-west of England.
For a couple of months I owned a car with full climate control. That's some next level shit that I really miss

@rhywden Small update and resolution regarding the ex-girlfriend situation:
So, I texted her and said that I'd like to talk about two minor matters to bring things to a close (one being the Spotify account still running on her iPad). She replied that she doesn't do phone calls or talks after a break-up because she doesn't trust people.
Nice.
Anyway, I reply that I wasn't going to talk about that, more that it's about the audio books she listens to and she replies that she has deleted the app yesterday and that she hopes that we can remain civil should we ever meet again. Now, this may be poor wording on her part but the undertone was a bit different from "I hope we can be friends".
Because my initial reaction was: "When have I ever been anything but civil towards you, even after the breakup?" I didn't say that, of course.
Yeah, that relationship was indeed built on quicksand. I'll cautiously advise our mutual friend to watch her carefully.
Sounds like she has some bad experience or trust issues making her expect any contact will be hostile. I doubt it's anything personal, more likely what she'd think any guy would be like

Aren't C++ people supposed to use like RAII or whatever to guarantee destructors run? I hear a lot of crowing about that.
The way C++ destructors work is how RAII is implemented so easily.

@wharrgarbl I used to have the real name field on my twitter set as Mr. J Loopa. Every time I tweeted a company they'd reply to Mr. Loopa

Why do I have a phone by my desk?
Our company solved that problem. Use your personal phone! (or you can get a company issued one) At least the pay for it... (Luckily I don't need to give out my "business" number to anyone - that could be interesting when changing companies...)

yes actually.
turns out M$ made a booboo.
they printed Portland on the slip but that's not the town the address is for.
fortunately, even though the street exists in Portland too it lacks my house number so they didn't just deliver it there, so i have a chance to get this sorted out today.
maybe.

This is exactly the thing I want to do with my HoloLens, but it seems they're not extending that technology to it for some reason.

UPS figured it out after about two minutes on call, unfortunately the truck got back to the dispatch too late to get the package on the last evening delivery truck.
no delivery for me today, but they'll be sure to deliver tomorrow.

There's an AppX version of Remote Desktop, but it sucks balls and wouldn't behave like an external monitor in any case (been trying to figure out how to do that for literally decades).

@accalia So, I got it, but it wont scan my living room and is always blurry. Giving it a break for a bit.

Make sure it's fairly well lit, but not blindingly so. Also, avoid reflective surfaces.

see the beautiful thing about the mouse jiggler is that short of physically disabling the USB slots there's no way to prevent me from using it successfully. you can lock the PC down so that i can't install thing nor run scripts nor nothing, but unless you lock down the HID interfaces to the point where only your mouse and keyboard work all i have to do to keep my screen from locking is plug in this liiiiiiiiiittle dongle and rober is your mother's sister.

@tsaukpaetra yeah, so, it seems like the cord is too short to walk it around in an area large enough for the headset to find it acceptable.

I suppose it wants to ensure you're able to go room scale then? My Hololens can be used in cubicle-sized areas...

Even if you lock down the HID interfaces to the point where only your mouse and keyboard work the mouse jiggler should work since it acts as a standard HID mouse. At least mine does.

HID devices can optionally present as a particular device but still request the standard driver. Almost all of my mice do. So you can lock down to just say "Microsoft optical wheel mouse on port x" and inserting a generic hid device on port y won't work.
-
@tsaukpaetra You can use it in single app mode that way.
I managed to move my pc just enough to scan an acceptable area, and have been playing around with it.
If it wasn't for the blue/orange alias blur, it would be great.

Status: Impressed by these guys again:
Once again, it's almost time for us to release the patch notes for the 3.0.0 expansion. The real patch notes are likely to be available tomorrow. In the meantime, we ran the notes we have so far into a Markov Text Chain Generator and we wanted to share the results with you. We've done this a few times before, you can check them out here, here and here.
EDIT:
Particularly great lines:
- Puncture and Viper Strike now have a hidden damage multiplier that would cause spontaneous hair growth or a 4-linked rare item.
- You can no longer exist.

Fixed a bug where you could force other players into a chat channel.
That sounds useful! I'm going to start implementing that for mods (once we get them)...
Fixed a bug which could cause incorrect behaviour.
Ah, but did the fix the behaviors?
DirectX11 is now 30% (up from 3%)
:nodding:
All Prophecies, Hideouts, Forsaken Masters and Labyrinth trials have been disabled.
Well, that helps with all my worrying at least...
We've made this change to the sewers.
They work now?
Bleeding doesn't do extra damage while the target is stationary, making it a more versatile source of desync with Blink Arrow and Mirror Arrow.
Indeed....
Removed the Cruel Labyrinth, the Merciless Labyrinth, you must complete the Cruel Labyrinth, you must use this before allocating or refunding any other waypoint..
Um, wait a moment:
All of your old characters and items are still present in the Cruel Labyrinth.
Y'all have to go to the not-so-removed Cruel Labyrinth to get them then...
You can no longer exist.
But I can!

Ah, locking it down to a particular vendor and product ID? I can't even imagine the support burden that would cause, but it's possible. I may check out my jiggler tomorrow () and see what it identifies as ().
