@DogsB I know it's not what you mean, since they're morons, but "werenāt told how to fix it" could theoretically mean missing the "expected behaviour" part of the bug report, not the "that's how you do your job" part.

Suggested Advice: "To the Outsourcing Company: Sack the incompetent seat warmers you have LARPing as staff working on this project; they're not fit to code up a carbuncle on my ass. Hire someone who knows what programming actually involves instead, and order in lots of pizza and coffee."
It is advice, but not the kind that will either help or endear you. Like you care.

That would be fair except the problem is the page isnāt loading for a particular user. I suspect new config changes that went in last week but I havenāt looked so I advised them to go tailing logs while walking through the repro steps.

They need to be told which services and logs to look at. These people are soulless vampires that are trying to suck me dry.

Worf was many things but I donāt think anyone described him as beautiful.
(Yes, Iām 99.98% sure youāre referring to Tasha who is considerably prettier than Worf. Alternatively you may be referring to the fact that Marina Sirtis was originally cast as security chief and Denise Crosby as counsellor but changed early on, along with ditching Roddenberryās weirder ideas like one of them having four boobs. I forget which.)

Due to (I guess) poor airflow, eventually the sensor reads 77 and guess what? It turns on THE FUCKING AIR CONDITIONER! Bitch!
Okay now I'm getting pranked. I intentionally set it to 80,then set the controls to "off" when the actual room temperature (on that side) was apparently 77.
20 minutes later the muthafuckin' unit starts the air conditioner again! While the control read "off"!
Goddamnit I'm peeved!

Status: Ordered new laptop. Because the Apple Store website hates me I had to do a phone order like it's 1994. Estimated delivery time is 2 weeks, then I can have a shiny golden 15" to stroke as my current hardware being only 13" had got to small to please me in any way due to harddrive fullness and wanting a bigger screen.
Also had to max it out for it to have more RAM and harddrive than my current, but that's only good I think. And my current still has a pretty good trade-in value which covers the premium for the harddrive upgrade which is nice.

I do not understand why I cannot get āthe absolute mouse positionā unless Iām actively hovering over the window I made. I know Windows exposes this, but I guess egui/eframe doesnāt expose it to me.
-
@Arantor Other than for demo purposes (and a few unlikely things such as screen capture with mouse), what would you use that for? Most of the time, you only need the info when you have a pointer grab going (that's used in drag-and-drop).
