I've tested it and indeed it rejects "Petro123!". However, "Petro1234!" works

I don't see the problem

So they only have 1 problem?

@dcon They had one problem, which was people using "Petro123!" as their password. Now, zero problems!

They're trying to cure stupidity. They'll be having problems for a long time.

99 problems, but Ptero123! isn't one of them!

AI Bites
Apparently, the new Microsoft flight sim has used AI to map the entire world. But it's not done it all that great, and turned Buckingham Palace into a generic 90s office block

Microsoft has a special way of versioning MsBuild:
Microsoft (R)-Build-Engine, Version 16.6.0+5ff7b0c9e für .NET Framework
-
That's standard SemVer though, isn't it?
Major.Minor.Patch+BuildID
where BuildID is a unique fragment of the commit ID from source control, such as Git commit hash.I know the Twitterverse is whining about it, but what would you have them do? Nobody looks at version numbers when they're actually doing work, people copy-paste logs without parsing when they try to give other people problems, and that information is actually useful for figuring out what's wrong.

I've already reported about my cow-orkers great capacity in dealing with dates and also hours. But thanks to the great internetz, I've just learned of some new creative ways of formatting dates and times:
Sonntag, 27UTCSun, 27 Sep 2020 12:53:12 +0000 27. September 2020
and also
Montag, 28UTCMon, 28 Sep 2020 22:56:18 +0000 28. September 2020 um 22:56 Uhr
which has an additional emphasis on the time.

Much more than the one I saw yesterday. That one read "or"

@HardwareGeek I always suspected that 4th digit is hardwired to always show 9 - but now I know for sure.
-
@Gąska There was a short period — I think it was during the first oil crisis of the 70s — that you would occasionally see prices that didn't end in .9, but it didn't last long. Also, during the same period, many pumps were dispensing liters; sadly, that didn't last long, either. (Before that time, pumps were not designed to support prices over $0.999 per unit of volume, so when gas hit $1/gallon for the first time, they had to do something, and for a quick fix, it was cheaper/easier to recalibrate the pumps to measure liters instead of gallons than it was to replace them with pumps that supported an extra digit in the unit price.)

In Soviet Canuckistan (or Ontario at least) we added a third digit a few years ago when prices rose above $1/L, and we do see prices ending in any number of tenths of a cent. It's most often 9 or 8, but on occasion it'll be something else somewhere.

Poor Michael MJD just can't get a break!
From this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YgoIVazW04You'd think capturing composite video would be straightforward and easy, but...
-
I've used low-end analog video capture devices. They're flaky and painful to use.
I've used Pinnacle software. It's buggy and painful to use.
I've used Windows 10. It's flaky, buggy and painful to use.Combing all three is a Really Bad Idea™ unless you're into masochism.

He actually switched down to Windows 7 and then XP I think. Nothing really worked, but I suspect he just didn't Linux it up enough. I think he was also intending to screen capture from a VM (as the original idea) for some reason.
Like, I think the correct combination would have been Windows 7 32 bit with OBS. Add the capture device, restart OBS (depending on what version, this may not be necessary in later versions), configure the crossbar so it's not looking at S-Video (I think that's by default for raisins), and then bob's your uncle.

There's a name I hadn't thought of for a few decades. One of my old, old computers may still have a video capture board in it, but I have no idea what's become of the mega-dongle that video sources plugged into.

Huh. Can't seem to find mine either. I had the 1"x6" thing that converted analog video to digital. (So I could get the video off the Sony camcorder)

@dcon IIRC, mine had inputs for S-video, analog RGB, and more, but I don't remember what. It may have encountered an "if you haven't used it in X years, you don't need it" purge.

Found it! It's a Dazzle Firewire unit. Since I no longer have any systems with FW, guess it could be recycled...
-
@dcon Now that you mention it, I think mine had FW, too, but I never had anything with a FW output to connect to it.

An old (now recycled) machine of mine had one - pretty sure it was a desktop with a card. I still have the old FW external drive for backups. This was long before USB drives were a thing.

Years ago I had a combination Firewire/USB hard disk enclosure. It worked ok for a while, but then one day I found the drive unformatted. As I found out, this was a known problem with the chipset that the enclosure used, and there was no solution available either to get back my data or prevent it from happening again. :womp_wah:
-
Ouch.

Kinda like the write-only backup system I once had... Way back when I had a cassette tape backup system. No idea it was write-only until that one day I tried to restore... (luckily all my critical data was on various 5.25" floppies!)

It's like a read-only backup, but doesn't tell you when writes fail.
