Status: Why does Corsair's utility to change the color of the lights on my keyboard need 230MB of disk?
Maybe it's a 20yr old binary they lost the source to so it has to be run in a VM? Oh wait, this isn't the bad ideas thread...

@sloosecannon Jeez, I don't know what you guys are using, but even Angel wasn't that bad...

@sloosecannon Schedule is broken. Only shows one class. I have three. Nobody knows why.
¯\(ツ)/¯
When I started out at university, our Comp Sci faculty had problems with their computers and was only able to create reliable schedules two(2) months after the semester had started.
They also were the only faculty with that kind of problem.
We found it somewhat amusing.

Status: ugh. A project I've worked on a year ago just won't stop coming back to haunt me, will it.
The client's kicking up a fuss on the support channel that they can't import an Excel file. The file is a nine sheet, formula-laden monstrosity, and the error in question goes something like "Invalid cell type in SomeWorksheet!X123 : Formula/Error". It took a week for them to actually give us the failing file, since they figured we haven't updated the software to deal with the newest version of the spreadsheet, so they just sent us a random new file and of course, it passed with flying colors.
I open the worksheet, and of course, cell X123 has a huge #VALUE! written over it. But the lead dev allegedly can open the spreadsheet (perhaps some links he has access to and I don't?), so he wants me to fix it now - except there's fuckall I can do when our Excel library just barfs at the cell when asked to read it.
Oh, and I can't even debug the spreadsheet since due to some organizational fuckup we've run out of Office keys and Excel now has literally every fucking option grayed out. You can't even unhide cells.

Groove Music was once XBox Music, and is the standard audio player in Win10 afaik. It has web radio and stuff. It's alright.

ah, the joys of class software, you get to enjoy the wonders of last-decade bleeding edge techs

Yeah, isn't it wonderful when your software reverts to "I'm just a preview program!" mode just because it thinks you didn't pay?

LOL, no, it's the newest/beta version of the...controller? I dunno what you'd call it. LIke I said, it lets me set macros and control the colors on my keys, including patterns.

The replacement for Angel (we used to use that too).
It's better in some ways, and much, much worse in others.
-
@sloosecannon Heh. I know the feeling. We also used to use Angel, but now we use Blackboard.
-
@Jarry Ah, I only really played the third one. I liked that one a lot, though: it even had a card game built in that you could focus on instead of the actual game, like any good RPG ought to.
In other news:
Status: I'm on Chapter 19 of Cyber Sleuth, and finally got that Bancholeomon, and even got Imperialdramon. I still have so many forms to unlock, and I don't seem to be able to get any of the alternate forms, yet (i assume all the DLC happens after you beat the game?) so I can't get Omegamon Zwart either. I imagine I will be playing this game a huge amount after I beat it.

It's on, it prints. But I'm buggered if I can find it in any of the buildings. If this doesn't work I'm going to have to sniff it out by MAC address and the switch routing tables.
Set it up to continuously print, and just do a room-by-room grid search.

Just got a really phishy looking email from Spotify telling me to change my password because:
we believe it may have been compromised during a leak on another service with which you use the same password
You shouldn't know what it is, guys.
It also had a direct link to the change password page rather than telling me to log in and change it, and didn't include my username, but the from address and links seem legit so it's not a phisher, just the kind of bad email that makes life easier for phishers

Was that the update downtime, or just cooties? 'Cuz if it was the downtime, @ben_lubar, you jumped the gun by three minutes.

Technically, if the other breach was in plain text, they could verify it. That is almost certainly not what happened though

Damn. Now you confused me. I've always thought that what we have in our forests are blueberries, because that's what they're called in swedish. Turns out it is bilberries here too.
Not that it makes a difference in this case, since they grow a couple of cross-breeds between bil- and blueberries. All the taste and sweetness of bilberries, but size and yield as blueberries.

Status: Currently trying out Xamarin and getting to know how which form translates to what.
Also: Scrollviews on Android only have one possible direction. Because no one ever needed to scroll something in two dimensions at once.
-
@Rhywden The form you need to find is the correct version of String Theory or Quantum Mechanics you are using to make yourself look clever.
-
@Rhywden BTW fucking bonus points instead of just saying "I don't think the translation between German and English is correct in this case"
Quiz the person that doesn't know much more that counting 1-10 in the language and then "prove them wrong" by linking a text in German, while never actually saying what was really wrong with the original translation.

Umm, dude, I meant "which form translates to what" in the sense of:
A
Xamarin.ContentPage
translates to aAndroid.widget.ViewGroup
on Android and aMicrosoft.UI.FrameworkElement
on UWP upon compilaton for the specific platform.

You forgot "spectacularly stupid" in your list of attributes. Though that seems to be more of a permanent condition.
On second thought, that goes for the other two as well.
-
@Rhywden I think your permanent condition is being a massive cunt.
You could have simply said straight away "I don't think what you are reading is correct, I think the translation is incorrect.". I would have had a lot of respect for you. But you didn't.
Sorry you are the cunt and not I.

Right now it's not even in the "I'm gonna work, but I'll nag you occasionally that your activation failed" mode, it's in the full-blown "FUCK YOU PAY ME OR YOU AIN'T GONNA DO SHIT TO YOUR FILES" mode.
We're migrating to 365. Eventually. Until then, no keys.

Status: So, we're blaming the location move as the reason tri-monitor setups are no longer working.
Yeah.
Also, they said to try updating drivers.
This apparently doesn't work because the driver package doesn't allow installation () because it couldn't "validate" the machine. Or something.
So I'm manually installing it through Windows instead of the the included installer:
Ok...
YAASSSSS!!!
