  1. @lunartech Highly recommend If you are a typist you could use this as an opportunity to learn as the QD version I mentioned has both. Also, consider getting the foot pedal with it :-) (single pedal advantage version only $39)

  6. I have a charger and have had an put the CT sensor on reversed while doing some work (so it shows grid export as import and vice versa). Could I just unclip it and reverse it myself or should I leave it to the pros? (Will have to wait days for them to return) ⚡️

  13. @DharmaDog Does anyone really believe #Trump will be able to serve even another four years without the dementia totally taking over? People are probably placing bets on whether he will still be able to speak clearly coherently by the time November rolls around. I can't believe he could effectively serve a second term, let alone a third.

  14. @starlily @c0nac @thelinuxexperiment Only if you are a #Linux geek that 1) knows it's POSSIBLE to do those things, and 2) knows HOW to do them.

    The problem with excluding or pinning a package is that often you don't know you should have done that until the new version (that breaks things) gets installed during a normal update run. And then it's too late. That was certainly the case with #lirc, the old version worked great and then one day the new version got install during a normal apt update/upgrade run and suddenly buttons on infrared remotes stopped working as they should. It went from "working great" to "dumpster fire" with one update, but of course no one knew that update was coming so no one bothered to exclude or pin it. Fortunately people started finding ways to install the old version (on #Ubuntu / #Debian based systems) and how to pin that old version once installed, but then you still have the problem that if your hard drive goes kaput or you do a clean install to a new version of the OS you won't have that pinned or excluded package anymore, so you have to hope the process for installing the old version still works. Whereas with something that installs from a Windows .exe file or a MacOS .dmg file or similar, you might have taken the two seconds necessary to save it to an external drive just in case a future version was totally screwed up (and even if you didn't, someone else on the Internet probably did).

    This is just another case where Linux people want to pretend they have equivalent (or even better) functionality, or "flexibility" as you call it, without taking into account that people won't do something if it is significantly more difficult than on those other systems. There is still a significant number of #Linux devotees that seem to thing that harder is good, or at least that it's okay, and that's probably a big reason why #MacOS in particular continues to hold onto such a big market share. A primary goal of #Apple (at least while Steve Jobs was still alive) was to make things as easy as possible for users, and doing that is a big reason they could charge the "Apple tax". Meanwhile Linux types were like "It's perfectly fine if things are hard and you have to spend hours trying to make something work that would take you five minutes in Windows - Linux is supposed to be a challenge and a puzzle, that's how you 'learn' Linux." But the vast majority of computer users don't WANT to "learn" an operating system, they just want the damned thing to work with the least amount of pain!

  15. @thelinuxexperiment And then you go into the difference in installing programs on #Linux vs. #Windows. What you are leaving out is that when you install a program from an app store, you lose control over it. If the developer wants to push an update that breaks functionality or just doesn't work, you are stuck with that version of the program. There is no way to roll back to the previous version (unless you are very proficient in Linux, perhaps).

    A good example of this is the #lirc software for infrared remote devices. The 0.9x versions were dead simple to install and use. Then they came out with the 1.x versions and that completely broke everyone's remotes. The new version is a nightmare to set up and configure and requires skills far beyond the capability of many users (partly because the developers failed to provide simple instructions). Even though this happend over five years ago, people are still using various hacks to install the older version of lirc, or they are putting up with double clicks and some keys not working, or they are switching to distros that have already taken care of the issue for them such as LibreELEC which basically doesn't let you do anything in Linux other than run Kodi, or if they are true Linux geeks then they have somehow figured out how to make the new version work (and then kept it to themselves, apparently). If it had been a Windows driver installed using an .exe file, you could just install from your old .exe (assuming you saved it, or could find it online) and you'd be back in business.

    This is actually one of the things I have hated about #Linux for a very long time, that you can't just download a package and after installing set it aside in case a future upgrade breaks something. It's actually an app store problem; you have the same issue in #MacOS if you get a program from their app store. And yes, I know in theory you can probably save snap and/or flatpak packages for future re-use, but are users really given the option to do that? Point is it's not nearly as easy as just re-running a Windows .exe file to re-install an older version that worked the way you wanted it to.

  16. If I were still a churchgoer and were ever in a #church that said this I would waste no time getting up and leaving. And I would yell "ICHABOD!" at the top of my lungs just as I reached the door! NO church is going to tell me I have to hate people in order to be part of their group.

    The IRS really needs to start investigating these businesses-cum-religions. If people knew how much in taxes were avoided by these #megachurches thery would either be enraged or trying to figure out how to get in on the scam.

    (For those not familiar with the Biblical first Book of Samuel, "Ichabod" means "the glory has departed" or "where's the glory" - it's basically a backhanded way of saying you're not going to find God or Jesus anywhere near this place!)

  17. Many of us understand that there is one side of the US political spectrum that has turned truly awful, but what a lot of people don't seem to understand is how that got that way and why they are so adament about their beliefs. Of course there are pragmatic reasons (people who are wealthy and in charge of things want to stay that way) but still it is truly astounding that so many people who are not among the category of "rich white men" will still cling to those who probably despise them, or if not them then people they know and maybe even love. There is a person I know who is employed at a public agency and his direct boss is probably the biggest Trump supporter in the building - oh, and she also happens to be a lesbian. How does that make any sense at all, given what Trump and his followers have said they want to do to #lbgtq people?

    Well, a big part of it is religion, and in particular the Christian religion. So many of those people have somehow been convinced that to oppose Trump would be to oppose "God's annointed" even though it is obvious to most of us on the outside of their bubble that Trump is not a God-fearing man, and would probably be among the first to have Jesus shot to death if he ever came back.

    But step back a bit - where did this idea of just unconditionally obeying a "man of god" come from in the first place? Well, that is certainly nothing new, after all the early church required its followers to obey the Pope and all the bishops and cardinals and priests and so on. But where did that ever come from? After all, Jesus for the most part condemned organized religion, especially the scribes and the Pharisees of his day, according to the Bible.

    So where did #Christianity go off the rails? Well, for years I have been saying that it's because Christians, and especially modern #evangelicals, stopped following the teachings of Jesus a long time ago. Sure, they pay lip service to him and pray to him, but for the most part they follow the instructions found in the writings of the "apostle" Paul. And that is a real problem, because Paul was probably just as deluded ans any guy who's ever started his own cult or sect that is loosely based on Christianity. There are many cults that use the Bible AND other writings (but mostly the "other" writings) as the basis of their religion, the only difference is that the extra writings of Paul (and possibly others who used his name) got included in Biblical canon by the early church. But that doesn't mean they are writings that Jesus would have in any way approved of. In fact, there are cases where Paul's writings directly contradict the teachings of Jesus. Here's a good video on the topic:

    7 Times Paul Contradicted Jesus
    youtube.com/watch?v=iNDsaPoeuz

    Why is this important? Because most of the hate you see coming from the so-called "religious right" is not a part of their religion if you leave out Paul (and also the old testament, but that's another discussion). I have said before, they seem to love conspiracy theories, and you could make a great conspiracy theory that the early church included Paul's writings in the Bible even though they knew he was a "false christ" because if you wanted to control the masses and make them subserviant to the church hierarchy, teaching only the words of Jesus simply would not do. But if you wanted to replace the Christian religion with something that was in many ways the polar opposite of what Jesus taught, then Paul was your guy. And that is as true today as it was hundreds of years ago, and it is the reason so many Christians are deluded about who God has chosen to lead them (and yes, I realize they are to some degree deluded because they want to be, because the delusion reinforces their prejudices and their hatred of those who are not like them). But when they try to stand on their religion as justification for what they believe or do, maybe it is worth asking which religion they are talking about, the one taught by Jesus or the probably totally fabricated version made up by Paul?

    EDIT: Here's one more (this reminds me of some dishonest preachers):

  19. Observations about using #AI to help you write code - I am not a programmer, and I am old and my memory isn't what it used to be (and honestly it was never great - whatever the opposite of a photographic memory is, that's about what I have). But, on rare occasions I need a short program to do some specific task. #Python (specifically #python3 ) seems to be what everyone uses these days, but I never learned Python - the only languages I ever even partially learned were BASIC and Z-80 assembly language (that should tell you about how old I am!).

    So in days past if I needed a short program I'd either try to write it as a #bash script (which is a little bit similar to BASIC) or if I felt I had to do it in Python, it would take me hours because I'd literally need to do multiple web searches to figure out the correct Python code for each step, and none of my code was really efficient because I don't know nor understand any of the advanced features of Python (what the hell's a "tuple", anyway?!). And also, Python is kind of a miserable language to work with because it is so picky about things like indentation and syntax. I realize if you write a lot of Python code you can use an #IDE to help you with things like that, but for the two or three times a year I need a script to do something, the learning curve for the IDE would be more effort than it's worth.

    But now we have AI, and I find that trying to use it to help write code can be a very, um, interesting experience. For one thing, unlike some web sites which shall remain nameless, it never makes you feel like an idiot or chides you for not having searched hard enough before you asked a question, unlike some of the bullies and a-holes that inhabit those "question and answer" sites.

    And AI is great for people like me who have lousy memories, because it remembers the basics of a language, and also a lot of the little tricks that can help make your code more efficient. It suggests things I would have never known nor remembered. It also comments much of the code it creates, so you can actually understand what it is doing (and you can ask it to explain why it used certain statements, so it really is kind of a learning experience).

    But at the same time it makes really dumb mistakes, such as mis-matching parenthesis (a no-no in any language). Sometimes the mistakes are obvious, in other cases if you tell it what the problem was (the error message you received, or why the result was not as expected) it will fix the error, though that may take a few tries (and it may even repeat previously given incorrect code, which is frustrating). But what I find interesting is that it often gets the hard parts right, but totally fumbles the easy stuff.

    But here are my questions: If you find an obvious error, and you tell the AI about it, does it learn from its mistake, or will is spit out the same bad code to the next person who gives it similar input? And also, is there a particular #aimodel that is great for generating code (especially Python code)?

  21. @lonseidman did you see this one? Note the fourth comment under the article, "The paradigm shift is that prior to ATSC 3.0 broadcast companies couldn’t tell device manufacturers what to do. Now they can because playing DRM protected content requires a private contract between the A3SA and the device manufacturers. We aren’t even allowed to publicly share what is in that contract."

  22. In my opinion #Snopes has no credibility left, and if you cite them as proof of anything, then you don't either. I knew of one case whe they put up an article saying the the performer of a particular work had plagarized his material, when in fact he'd asked for and received permission from the original author to do the performance. A false charge of #plagarism is so ironic given what this ariticle reveals about Snopes!

  24. @thebaldgeek I am betting you got a PLL #cband #LNB and it is sensitive to the cold. This has been a problem with these LNB's for a long time, as you can see from this article from 2016:

    Are phase-locked loop (PLL) LNB’s a good idea?

    (Note the last EDIT down near the bottom of the article).

    I don't know how cold it gets where you are but I suspect you are going to have issues during any cold weather event. In theory you could attach some kind of heating element, like a small reptile tank heater (make sure it's waterproof) and turn it on a few minutes before you want to watch TV but IMHO those things are just poorly designed, even if they are being marketed as a solution for 5G interference.

  25. @Stark9837 @Edent In recent days I have read a couple articles suggesting the #LePotato as a good replacement for the #RaspberryPi 3B - I have not used it personally so can't say how compatible it is with a real Raspberry Pi though. Be aware the ethernet connection is only 10/100, not GB.
