Status: WTH?! My LCD display on this laptop is apparently experiencing burn-in! I just noticed that as I submitted the last post and the composer disappeared, I could see the composer still all ghost-like in the background (I'm using a dark theme).
Edit: hard to see, because it's fading quite quickly, but proof:
If it disappears then it's persistence. One of my desktop monitors is now doing this quite badly. When I used little QVGA panels we had this on some new ones and that was attributed to sneak conduction paths in manufacturing. Maybe as panels get older they can get a bit leaky as well.
I can can currently see the ghost of Spotify past ;)

Status: Just taken some curtains out of the airing cupboard to hang up. Placed them on the floor for 5 minutes to go and find the curtain rings and a cat has been neatly sick in the middle of them.
Time to go buy some hand washing powder and see if old curtains can be successfully washed I guess.
Edit: I think I've found the culprit, Joss is now hungry for some strange reason...hmmm.

Uh, OK, nodebb. The last post in the... thread?
If you check any first-page post in this thread, you'll probably see a screenshot from me-- of the same issue-- because counting is hard.
Different issue. Caused by me actually, but I thought it was funny.
Note that it's asking me if I'd like to go to the first unread post of the thread. On the /unread page

Status: Stormcrows are so dominating in Scout missions that there's literally no point in even doing them if you're playing Inner Sphere. Awful game balance.

We need the Official "Official Official Thread" Thread-- where we list all the Official threads, and list if they are Officially Official, or Fake Official.

Woo hoo I've been pwned on:
- Gawker - don't even know when I signed up for their shitness. Must have been a third party signing up on my behalf.
- Neteller - OMFG, breached in 2010 and didn't know until 2015. Wow. Haven't used them since 2007, when they stopped taking payments for gambling sites. (Made a few grand doing bonus hunting on Blackjack-- good old days). The associated email address has had the password changed several times, and I don't live at that physical address. Hehe, even the associated financial data is stale. Yay, me.
- Patreon - Unique password, and the "website activity" data they could have gotten is all public anyways
Not bad so far.

@Lorne-Kates Also... I'm pretty sure that's not me.

Status: Finally checked-out the Shopping Cart I've had on Amazon for like... 6 weeks. Which means soon I'll have a corded Xbox controller without a sticky Y button and a right analog stick that doesn't "center" about 30 degrees away from center. Also a non-broken slotted spoon, a new potato masher, and various other shit.

Plex however... Well, if anyone wants to watch ponies, I guess... Have at it?@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

... unless you're talking about auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Not that I don't sometimes wish the necessity of breathing did not apply to me, but it's definitely not erotic (sorry).
For those interested, nightmare 36 is a pretty standard suffocation scenario,setting is lower bunk in a dinky bunk bed whereupon the upper bunk holding an unnecessary amount of weight fails and falls upon my person, trapping myself and preventing escape. Not so fun.

Reading Amazon "questions and answers" for some bluetooth earphones. I swear those people are morons
Can they receive radio?
Can they play music without being connected to a phone?No you idiots, they are earphones. They need another device to send them audio. Don't you think they'd say it in the description if they could do that?
And then literally 10 pages of
Will they work with my iPhone 4?
Will they work with my iPhone 5?
Will they work with my iPhone 3?
Will they work with my iPhone 4s?
Will they work with my iPhone 5s?
Will they work with my TV?
Will they work with my Apple Watch?
Will they work with my TomTom Runner? (seriously, TomTom makes watches now?)
Will they work with my Xperia z3?
Will they work with my iPhone 4?
Will they work with my galaxg s5? (actual spelling)THEY ARE BLUETOOTH EARPHONES THEY WORK WITH ANY MODERN DEVICE WITH BLUETOOTH

I'm sure David Carradine is breathing a sigh of relief after that clarification.
Too soon?

I see @fbmac has post a reply to me, but has deleted it before I got read it. I'm going to assume it was permission to start @fbmacbot, so I shall henceforthwithquickly begin. After sleeping.
-
@Dreikin I've said I had some evil ideas for bot writing too, but that would be work to implement them.
I would probably abandon this account if a bot was stalking it around.

Status: Oh yeah. My Note 3 is now successfully running S7 Edge firmware. This is really nice, feels snappy as well.
I guess I should move to a SIM-only plan as there isn't really any need to upgrade this thing. 13 quid a month for SIM-only as opposed to 40 quid a month if I stick with this contract and get something like a Nexus 6P.
Edit: I soft-bricked it once. Got seriously worried when I couldn't get it to boot, get into recovery or Odin mode. Thankfully after leaving the battery out I could get back into Odin mode and then push a new recovery.
-
@Cursorkeys I would check these before counting it a success story:
- Does your stylus work?
- What about the GPS? are you sure?
- Does it heat up if you leave the screen On for long?
- How about the audio quality

Yep, seems to work normally. Air command works.
- What about the GPS? are you sure?
Good point. I'll test it on the way to work tomorrow.
- Does it heat up if you leave the screen On for long?
It gets warm at the top when I tax it for long periods but it did that before. Battery use seems normal so far even in standby.
- How about the audio quality
Audio quality seems as good as before. Have had my headphones plugged in too and Bluetooth to my wireless speaker works fine.

The only thing that makes it resemble "Windows" is the Microsoft services and the fact that it looks like 8's start screen

bluetooth earphones
If you find good stereo ones, do give me a shout. Looking for a replacement for my Arctic P311s which are going out, bought Arctic P235 (or somesuch number) as a replacement since there are no P311s anywhere any more, the sound is shit, which is apparently a common thing with them...

A problem appears with the new phone. I forgot that the alarms aren't carried over with the calendar and other things. As I'm part owl and don't wake up in the morning without alarms I was two hours late to work.
Can't blame the phone for a Layer 8 problem I guess. I was having a great dream about space stations too :/

There, that should fix it in the future. Good app all around, with or without sync features.

Status: Reminiscing with a worker on one of our production lines while waiting for DISM to finish un-buggering a machine...about the PDP-11 and how nice RT-11/RSX-11 worked as an OS.
There is an upside to having had to maintain very obsolete IT gear, it stops the greybeards from telling you to get off their lawns :)

Enough of that now. Off to the retirement home with you.

Status: Stayed up till 1 yesterday fighting with code on my own project, attempting to get my MEF-based navigation system to wrap and present things imported from other assemblies as smoothly as things within itself. It's really a mess right now.
I had it 90% working before I went to bed, but perhaps I should just scrap my weird navigation system. With what I have now, it's overblown for this project, which will ideally just go between a loaded set of modules and a main menu...
I'll figure it out when I get back home...

Oh yeah, I forgot this site doesn't follow orientation. Although neither does my phone, so I guess they're a pair. I'll rotate it in a moment.
