Yeah, no. Account gone in advance.

my washer/dryer also has capacitive touch and will usually pause itself this way during a dry cycle if I forget to put the keypad lock on.

it's an absolute failure of product design in my eyes

A company that forced me to be on video calls is a company I would leave immediately

Well I use it daily and I can't even scroll up through chat history without it getting totally janky. The search basically doesn't work, I routinely have to restart it and often text shortcuts (like Ctrl+A to select all) just stop working completely.

It's not stable at all. Audio calls are generally okay, but often screen sharing just doesn't seem to come through either.

It does for me too (located in the UK)

Perhaps the URL should be https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-57808517

I can't focus properly on bright blue things. There's a football stadium not far from where I live and its name alternates between red and blue in big text.

I know what it says but I cannot read it at night when it is blue.

Glad you mentioned this, as I would end up returning such a device too and now I don't need to waste my time

I'm looking for a new ereader and I don't want to have to register/sign in with anything to use it.

Yeah, push notifications are an absolute shitshow.

A standardised push notifications API where you could swap out providers would be such a breath of fresh air.

That being said, the two applications I run that are doing long-polling sockets (Conversations and K-9 Mail) don't really use a lot of power, according to the battery settings screen on my Lineage device

I've found that UT99 works incredibly well under wine.

However, what's more awesome is that there's an unofficial update currently in beta (v469) and I can confirm it runs well on modern Linux

For reference, the anti-cheat plugin usually used by Unreal Tournament servers is AntiCheatEngine ("ACE")

I don't buy this, there must be some false positive rate in some of these sites. I've been told that I've viewed too many articles on sites I've never visited before.

It's happened at home too where I live alone and have not seen my IP address change in a very long time.

Second this, I've had no trouble ringing an old GPO 746 telephone (and very loudly) with a Grandstream HT802

I've just submitted a refund request, I'm not sure if it will be granted but I'd hope that others who do not run Windows will also consider making a refund request (unless offline play is your preference anyway)

Can't read without signing up on Medium now?

I find the latency of these things to be really bad, and the "wide-angle" view is never wide enough (and what is with all of the parking guide lines they draw that never seem correct?)

...but then most modern cars seem to have abysmal visibility through the back windows anyway. The rear view from a 20 year old Micra I often drive is excellent, much better than any of the more modern cars I have hired.

No, but we've entered an era where it's normal for users to have little/no control over their own machines.

Wtf? Closing the 'x free articles remaining' modal triggers the same behaviour as clicking the subscribe button (redirect)

How are we supposed to read an article with most of the screen obscured

Just a heads up but your terms and conditions link doesn't work

Yet another subscription, yet another proprietary app with dubious permission requirements to be installed on (supported) devices

Oh the joy

Here's a crappy userscript that might help

(function(shitlist) { [].__proto__.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('table.itemlist tr.athing'), (n) => { let s = n.querySelector('.sitestr'); if (s && shitlist.indexOf(s.textContent) !== -1) { n.parentNode.removeChild(n.nextSibling); n.parentNode.removeChild(n.nextSibling); n.parentNode.removeChild(n); } }) })(["nytimes.com", "crapsite.com"]);

I do something similar, using a liquidsoap script as the source to icecast

You can set an intro file in Icecast's mount settings

This looks really interesting, I'm currently at work but will check out in more depth later!

From a quick scan I can't understand, how does the tree work for routing with a fixed node address when the node is moved?

I hate it, I find the UI clunky and slow. Most annoying is having to fake an Edge user agent to get incoming calls to work (using Chrome on Ubuntu) but having to use the normal UA at other times as it breaks my messaging history otherwise

This.

I had half of my face stop working and had recently moved (and not yet registered with a new GP.)

I went to my previous GP and they turned me away (no longer in the catchment area) so I eventually ended up in A&E.

It doesn't help that the local ones near me at the time seem to live in the past... No call queuing or online scheduling, have to call within a 1 hour slot for appointments (so that's an hour of busy tones, oh well let's try again tomorrow)

Why does the client care which filesystem you use???

Not OP but if I wanted to donate without revealing identity to the recipient, what are my options?

I've reached the article limit, despite having never browsed

To me, a WAF is something that the tech guys enable blindly and without any consultation, landing the devs in hot water when nothing works :)

Does this do any kind of telemetry at all? Looks nice, would be interested to take a look if/when a Linux build was available
