@BernieTheBernie This isn't the help thread, but turn off data saver and/or download the map of your area.
-
@Tsaukpaetra Of course, I downloaded maps...

WOMM . Besides, it's not a UI bite, inasmuch as the interface itself is not failing.

When something even works on @Tsaukpaetra's machine, you know you have really bad luck if it breaks for you.

MINUS MINUS 41%!!!!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
I'm not going to spoil it, you just have to keep watching. Even if you don't care about video games at all, it's worth seeing.

@TimeBandit I guess everyone bought it out after that video went live.
-
@Gąska I find it funny that I can buy it twice on DVD for the price of a digital download

-
MINUS MINUS 41%!!!!
Strange. Though I can imagine how they get to the double minus, I fail with "41%". The price difference is $3.41, and that's some 34% of $9.99. What did they do?

Calculated in JavaScript
FileUnder: "11" + 1 = "111"

@BernieTheBernie Maybe it was actually -(-41c) with an off by in the dollars

@Gąska So I watched a few minutes and threw the video in my watch later, in order to watch the whole thing later . Now I did, and got quite interested in the game, but was kind of bummed that there was seemingly no way for me to buy it.
Then I looked again in my Steam library, and it turns out past me had thought of that already:
Anyway it looks great but for some reason it doesn't seem to work at all with the XBone controller under Windows 10. The game supports the 360 controller natively, and it detects that I have one connected and shows the button prompts. But nothing does anything, on the menu or in-game. I'll see what I can figure out to get it working, since it seems like a much better control method for this game than mouse and keyboard.

@hungrier Well, that was easy. Turns out was me; I have vJoy installed, which apparently messes up everything. Disabling that in device manager fixed it right up.

So our admins decided that M$ Office on my machine had to be upgraded to "Microsoft 365 Business version 2002" (btw, why do I find the version info in the menu point labeled "Konto" = "Account"?).
That's a great cloud-integrated version. Since I prefer to save my files locally, so that I can find them again .... , I face a great User Experience:
You see, the "Last used" section ("Zuletzt verwendet") is empty ("You haven't opened any documents recently...")
M$ tells me to use the superb cloud or to f*** off.

And that version of Word is good at numbering, too:

And Windows provides me with a little gem:
4315 MB free - and Windows complains that my computer is low on memory and I ought to close msbuild.

Having issues with a plugin in Moodle, I found a tool in the administrative side of it.
I get on the page, and there is a list of invalid tokens that I can delete.
I present to you a small screenshot of the page in all its glory
N.B.: the page was filled like this.
Looks like some small dev team didn't really have the time to finish the page, or even add

@TimeBandit Maybe it just failed to load some CSS and all those things are inside some
block
ified element that isn't by default

Here's a UI bite: I posted to Reddit, which automatically upvotes your own posts, so I get one vote:
Someone has clearly downvoted, so it should be 50% upvoted, right?
...I guess not.
-
They figured out that a @Tsaukpaetra upvote isn't worth as much as a real one?

Randomly clicked around and landed on some person’s LinkedIn page. This is perfectly representative of the state of the web:
Pixelation by me, remaining garbage as is. A stupid cookie banner on top, a stupid login banner below, and finally a stupid login to see more banner at the bottom. The only thing mysteriously missing is a further banner at the bottom that says
- open in app
- continue with safari
-
It's not specific to LinkedIn, but they are pretty garbage. If you don't sign in, they make it look like you can't access some pages. Yet those same pages are indexed by Google, and display perfectly fine with no login required if you click on a search result.

Yeah. Well, irregardless I might just re-post it here, in the garage, because it would probably get more attention...

Same on Quora. When you go from Google you can read the question and answers just fine, but every other question is locked behind login. There's a Firefox addon that lets you read every question no problem, though. AFAICT it works by faking the referer header so it always points to Google.

I've previously joked about how I'd use 🥖 as a path separator once I wrote my own OS but, no joke, I'm using this right now as a convenient replacement for \ in files I'm saving. (their filenames corresponding to the URLs I downloaded them from, for future reference)
Fake edit: I've switched from 🥖 , which looks like a backslash, to 🥕, which looks like a forward slash.
Fake move from Status Thread: I couldn't find 🍆 in the Windows 10 emoji popup because despite the popup's title saying "Emoji - keep typing to find an emoji" and the tooltips when hovering over the category selection icons also being in English, the names of the emojis themselves are in Portuguese and searching will only only work in Portuguese
-
@Zecc LIAR!!!
-
I couldn't find 🍆 in the Windows 10 emoji popup
Just look it up at https://emoji-pedia.com/ (there is bunch of similar sites; this one seems to have a working search) a either copy&paste, or remember the number so you can find it in charmap next time. Or install wincompose and define hotkeys for the characters you want to use
-
@Bulb When I'm on Lunix (as I am now) I google the name of whatever emoji I want. Maybe there's something I could install, but

@hungrier I was searching one for you then I came to my senses
