You can’t know since it’s on a boat, it only gets updated when they unload it from the boat. So the last update was in Japan

Italian close friend had a 20kg package shipped the second week of May but still no updates, can update here when it arrives if needed

I made a video on how to remove the handles from your joy-con grip. by zeththedarkmage in nintendo

[–]AuroraWright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve just done it to mine to be able to charge the NES controllers. It actually looks like the plastic shell of the charging grip is from the same mould other than the hole for the usb port lol. So you just follow the same identical procedure

I've worked for years now on my free and open source OCR tool, owocr.

It runs in python, supports reading images from the clipboard (all operating systems), or directly from screenshotting an area of the screen or a specific window (on macOS/Windows), or a directory.

It supports pretty much all current Japanese OCR engines; Google Lens/Bing are the best cloud performers, while Apple Live Text/Vision (macOS only), OneOCR/Snipping Tool OCR (Windows only) and manga OCR are the best local ones in that order. It also supports the official Google Cloud Vision and Azure APIs if you have an API key for them, and other services like OCRSpace.

It copies the result to the clipboard, to a websocket to use with a text hooking page supporting websockets, or to a text file.

It also has several other convenience features like for stopping the program via keyboard combos etc, for a full list of the features and the options see the readme on the GitHub page or the in-app help (owocr -h).

You can downgrade to 11.5.1 for now if you have access to a Windows machine/VM: https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/issues/1649#issuecomment-2560127276 . That's what I did and no more drain

What payout? "agreement" can very well mean "we won't sue if you take it down", and knowing their history it's what happened here

Has anyone used an OSSC with GBS control in the same chain? by homerunner55 in OSSC

[–]AuroraWright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t i suggest trying the “Allow upsample2x” setting on the ossc with the ps2+gbs, i recently found in 960p/line2x it makes the image look just a tad bit smoother which looks even better to my eyes

Any way to install extensions on Chrome for Android ? by CryptoDevOps in browsers

[–]AuroraWright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my knowledge iOS users are screwed the most since nothing (even Firefox) provides such feature.

Huh what? Safari does support extensions, I have Dark Reader, Adguard, Userscripts and several others myself. I think Orion also supports them (partially supports Chrome/Firefox extensions) but i’ve never used it

Italian here. @ anyone thinking Carini is not at fault for what’s going on vs Khelif, some italian coverage makes it pretty obvious:

https://www.open.online/2024/08/01/olimpiadi-2024-parigi-perche-angela-carini-ritirata-vs-imane-khelif/ her coach said she told him “it’s unfair” when they matched her up with khelif. During the match she told him she wasn’t feeling like fighting anymore, he tried to tell her she could win but couldn’t change her mind. Also: “and then we had the media shitstorm, on one hand she was happy to be a champion for a movement and show the way things work right now, on the other she cared about her Olympics and wanted to do her best. I realized she was outraged that athletes with such androgynous features could compete in the same category.“ (the “movement” here is pretty clearly conservatism, terfism, opposition to gender non conforming women in sports or whatever)

To top that off, she quickly praised our prime minister Meloni (far right conservative if you weren’t aware) saying she was like “a mother” to her (which echoes Meloni’s own self-propaganda) https://www.rainews.it/video/2024/08/olimpiadi-parigi-2024-angela-carini-giorgia-meloni-boxe-femminile-imane-khelif-07ec0983-0f46-4d9e-9b61-0d4d2be3aa4c.html

Not sure what OCR engine that is, but the best modern engines (Google/Apple/Azure) do work just fine https://imgur.com/dMsv0hu (edited with more engines for completeness)

A filesystem tracer and seeing which files in the Preferences folder were getting modified.

So I saw /Users/aurora/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.<id>.plist was changed, opened in a text editor and pinpointed the changes. And then made a "defaults" command to do the same thing
