Is that even possible for a normal äpp on Android? On my phone, the battery indicator only vanishes when I open the camera. With all other äpps, it stays displayed.
I think @Tsaukpaetra meant the indicator for the battery inside the Fitbit, not the phone's.

@Zerosquare Oh
how many batteries do we need?

Video players and games may also take over the whole display like that.

No, there's a separate icon for the connected device (i.e. watch). Apparently they thought poople don't use it.

One for each wireless device.

So I've got the same java code (modulo some type names) three times. And I've got the same set of tests on each of them. And one of the tests is passing on one of them, and failing on the others. And I have no idea why.

Reminds me of the heart rate sensor for Garmin. It has a battery, but there's no battery indicator. When that thingy fails, you'll succesfully fail to find the reason...
-
@BernieTheBernie That should be connected to your emergency medical alert panic button, which will automatically summon EMS when you go into cardiac arrest.
-
@HardwareGeek That would indicate an alarm much more often than
Fire Alarm
!

I'm betting a css function that generates a data URI fed into an audio element.... 🤔
-
@topspin said in The Official Status Thread:

HTML5 basically means HTML + JS, but you probably could feed a data URI into the audio element with a bit of engineering without even using CSS.
-
@Arantor I’m asking because depending on what exactly it means that ranges from sounding trivially easy to outright impossible.
-
@topspin fair question. If we're talking no JS at all, I'd be betting on abusing an audio element. The only question is how it's fed and whether it permits being fed from a data URI or not, this is not something I've done the science on.
I know others have done the science because I have, for example, seen a mod tracker from back in the day done entirely in a web page (meaning HTML5 + JS + CSS3) and in the common parlance, HTML5 often includes JS but not hefty libraries such as React or Vue.

I'm using JS but no libraries.
The hardest part is reverse engineering the WAV file samples I have, doing frequency analysis to figure out what tones to play.

@error said in The Official Status Thread:

As surprising as it sounds, Web Audio API appears to have been designed by people who weren't completely clueless about audio, and so includes useful stuff. (And a few WTFs because, of course, it wouldn't be webdev otherwise).

Next time, just ask. Could have saved you a bit of time there.

@error well, doing a for loop, calling
sin
, and handing the buffer to WebAudio does sound trivial.
The frequency analysis stuff, not so much.

Status As it turns out, even non-defective motherboards prefer when the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan header, not one of the chassis fan headers. The video card also likes having its power cables plugged into it and not dangling into one of the real chassis fans.

Yes, it is. You can do plenty of stuff by creating a graph using the built-in blocks and setting parameters, without needing to handle the low-level stuff. Plus it's (supposed to) use native optimized code under-the-hood, so you get better perfs as well.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Fixed it by installing all the mentioned "missing" dependencies three times or so. Because obviously when I want to install a thing I definitely want to Cherry pick which version of all its dependencies I want to install too.
Status: Apparently something broke the build as well, in comparison to the "serve live" function is working but the "build for production" is producing outdated resources somehow.
Since I have no idea which wherehow is doing this, I'm this close to just nuking
node_modules
and going for a snack while it builds everything clean again...Edit: Motherfucker!

Fixed it but killing all sessions from the server side, which made my computer convinced the server stopped existing for a few minutes.

Well, technically I suppose it's actually a pr0n gallery in the disguise of a clicker game with connect-the-paths mini game. Oh, and I suppose a simple story that kinda helps explain?
It's quite amateur stuff. 2/10 do not buy even if you're into that shit.

Status: Just broke the Windows build. Digging up the error message shows that I basically did:
std::string fname = std::filesystem::path(foo) / bar;
Windows complains that it can't convert the path to a string. I had only compiled on Linux and then just pushed for the build server to do its thing on Windows.
First I thought it works on Linux, there's a conversion, so Windows is wrong. Next I thought "no, I need to explicitly call
.string()
". Then why did it work on Linux? Maybe libstdc++ is wrong and has an implicit conversion where it shouldn't have.But no, this is all by design! There is an implicit conversion to
std::filesystem::path::string_type
, which isstring
on linux andwstring
on Windows, so it can indeed implicitly convert to a string on Linux but not Windows.
