I have a separate grid on each screen. Each with different grid sizes. I have a 3x3 grid on my main display a 2x2 grid on my display to the left and leave my laptop display with no grid constantly locked to my works video conference appli

Part of the reason I wanted to to make the app is because _I actually do like fullscreen apps_. Or at least maybe I learned to after they took away the grid. In any case I certainly wanted this app to work with them.

I use the home assistant plugin with it personally, but I have tried the apps and they still work fine both locally and remote.

You are correct this was actually and error in my re-collection. I remembered when writing that it was missing something but mistakenly thought it was the EZ. In fact the model number on the case was "PIC7KS" without the 6. Good

You have no idea how true this is :). I had to upgrade everything, the old site didn't even have SSL. But this annoyed me so much I wanted others to know how to fix it.

I think it is some sort of serial comm over cat5. My only concern was getting the thing working again :) But if still interested here is a close up of the chip side of the POE connector: https://blog.hopefullyuseful.com/blog

It's 5 million yen. I actually did this back in 2012. It's a complicated procedure but plenty of Japan based lawyers can help you out. I did it myself, without lawyer help but you will absolutely need someone fluent in Japanese.

They must have been listening, there is a video on the main page now. Basically a bookmark manager for the apps/folders you use, allowing you to restore everything in a click or two. I specified a terminal and two VSCode windows each s

I think it's being consumed though, and it's not just Hollywood/America. I've noticed that streaming apps have completely changed my parents (Australian) viewing habits. The ability to sample something then quickly cha

I'm not a user of Slack (solo dev) so I guess I'm not the target audience for this. But I am I wrong in feeling that this comes off as completely lame? To me it reads as weirdly premature desperation conveyed in a condescending t

Yep thats kind of my point, the idea that a word by itself, regardless of intent could be offensive, made absolutely no sense to them. To put it into perspective, I've seen nearly every word on your list in different childrens cartoons

A year or so ago while my Japanese in-laws were visiting, my brother asked them if they would like to try a new swearing card game he was kickstarting(1). I was hesitant to let this happen as although my wife's parents didn't rea

Different things work for different people but I'll throw my techniques into the ring. I have worked from home for the last 10 years so some of these won't be suitable for a corporate environment. - Start immediately, as soon as

"What is perhaps more interesting is the things that are worse." First and foremost I believe is resistance to change. The reasoning of "because that's the way it has always been" and general bureaucracy means chan

Actually bidet button is usually for women, I wouldn't advise pressing it unless you are one, or you will get a blast of water significantly forward of the desired target. おしり(oshiri) is the button thats useful to both sexes.

No chance this will happen. All their software and services only have one purpose, to help sell more hardware. Thats where their money comes from.

Agreed. I see no evidence in this article of the writer being a woman having anything to do with it. It seems that she didn't herself make that connection until her "coach" suggested it.

The return is even less when you factor system upgrades in. I'm glad you got that impression, I originally wrote it up for my friends that were interested as a form of persuading them against it. I perhaps should have made the "

I don't disagree, I'm not comparing the build I did with an actual Mac Pro. I just didn't have time to wait for it (I did this build months ago). As I mentioned at the end of the post if I had seen the tiny mac mini-esque b
