I tried it again and it's been working fine without having done anything complicated to make it work, so that's good. Also the stick worked so-so for about five minutes before something made a clicking sound and is now back to getting stuck, but hey, it still works.
I read something about a broken piece that could be causing it the issue and I could change the right-side stick's piece for the left's, but as usual I'm worried about breaking something.
Also assembling a Sixaxis controller such that the shoulder buttons are right is surprisingly hard.
Everybody knows that feeling :P
There was this one time I thought my PS3 was well and truly borked because of some power supply thing. Looking it up online, it turned out either the solution was fairly easy (fix one little connection inside the primary power source) or nearly impossible (import a whole new main power source in which the primary power source sits).
Luckily it turned out I just needed to wait 10 days to try to turn it on again (oh technology).
No, webpage, putting a slider telling me how long it's going to take to get to the next "page" does not excuse you for making a continuous-scrolling webpage.
The Yahoo! Mail app provided two options:
As you'll notice, none of these options was "password".
IJBM: At least on my computer, when Blender runs out of memory instead of throwing an error message, quitting and/or crashing it causes my computer to freeze completely and require a hard reset. And there are many things one can do to accidentally run over the limit.
There's software to quickly turn on-off pixels on-screen that often works in resurrecting them, you should try that first before potentially damaging stuff like applying pressure.
Also, dead pixels don't "spread", it's just that whatever kills a pixel is likely to have damaged nearby pixels so they're likely to die next, treat them gently.
On related matters, updating Visual Studio has been a pain.
I'd say this is owed, in part, to the segmentation of the market between PCs and mobile phones. I've noticed that whilst at first the Google Play store or a Samsung update would just do stuff without telling you the size of a file, that's become practically the norm. So, the theory goes, people who actually insist on buying a PC with a screen you can't even command by touch (shockhorror) are obviously in that bracket that is affluent.
This is discounting hobbyists, legacy users who just prefer this type of interface, and people who just want to compute on computers.
A similar thing is happening with gaming consoles. People who are willing to pay through the nose for an investment like a console are just assumed to have a setup that allows for digital purchases of games, hence the new XBox without a disc drive. I think this'll get much worse, in fact, if Google Stadia catches on (and if Stadia doesn't catch on, the inevitable cloud gaming platform that will). The people who will be willing to pay for in-house processing of their games will seem like obsessive maniacs to the ones who just let Google do it (of course, ignoring the cyclical logic where if your basic internet connection goes out, your Stadia does too).
In terms of the installer downloading it's own files, I think this is a form of two-step authentication meant for the protection of copyrights and such. This makes it extra dumb I'd say.
The funny thing is that everything I talked about could be avoided by pirating. (Well, not updates or stuff that's not pirated because it's free, but you get the idea.)
h/t to @Unknown_Entity for finding this
Looking around for solutions, it turned out three days ago, System Restore had decided to create a restore point without my permission and/or letting me know it was doing it, so that's a thing. Not only that, but this instead didn't help me by allowing me to restore to a past point, it tried to kill my computer whenever it was on.
However, it seems Windows Media Player is somehow involved in this kerfuffle, as it causes System to try and implode whenever I open it and am connected to a network.
What even is with computers sometimes...
But do you mean and or... or?
This genuinely sounds like a sidewinded threat, Firefox.
i guess the red panda has made an alliance with the horned rattlesnake?
On vaguely related stuff, it seems Wacom has had lots of competition these last years and is not the borderline monopoly it was back then when I bought mine, it's a much better time to purchase one now.
This is one reason why I stopped using Discord on my browser.
The favicon permanently said I had notifications.
I now have experience with this one, the problem is that power issues can cause capacitors to remain charged even though the power supply is off, especially if it's already faulty to start with, and (for its own safety IIRC) it won't turn on if they're not discharged, so you have to wait until they do (with no power input).
If you want to accelerate the process, turn off the power supply and disconnect it from the outlet, then keep the PS3/PC/whatever's power button pressed for a couple minutes, leaving it like that overnight may be necessary. Trying unsuccessfully to turn it on resets the process.
No, no, please, do not do this.
I'm not sure how this relates but until then the driver settings program wouldn't show up on the tray as it usually did even though it otherwise seemed to work fine (the settings' menus, not its effects on the tablet).
On related news, due to contrived circumstances for now I have a second moniror, which is a feature I didn't know I wanted so much until I tried it.
