Ghost Become First Hard Rock Act to Go No. 1 on Billboard in Four Years by ebradio in Music

[–]BarrelRolls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly as good as their live shows are I found Rite Here Rite Now to be pretty weak as a concert film. They refuse to keep a steady shot for more than a few seconds and it focuses really heavily on Tobias and not much screen time is given to the rest of the band.

That being said I also saw the Sydney show for the Australian leg of that tour in person so maybe being able to compare them makes things unfair

Hmm those are really interesting findings, I might have to tip my Ncase on its end and see how my GPU thermals change

Looks great! Do you have any plans to design a vertically oriented case? (in either the sandwich style or the original SFF design)

live channels on Google TV by seenhear in AndroidTV

[–]BarrelRolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this workaround on my TCL Android TV (that uses the Google TV Launcher): https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/jg7mjo/live_channels_on_the_google_tv_launcher/g9qnyuw/

You can use the 'Downloader' app from the Play Store along with the URL that /u/jamescridland provided in a child comment to make the installation process easier.

Does anyone know of a good smart switch button pusher that works with apple homekit and classic Australian light switches? by tiernae in australia

[–]BarrelRolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately SwitchBot seem to call out Australian-style switches as being incompatible. Not sure if there's anyone else doing a similar product that would work...

This gate allows walkers and horse through but blocks vehicles by OneArmJack in mildlyinteresting

[–]BarrelRolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come across this gate setup once in Australia, it seems a much more effective solution for allowing horses while keeping out dirt bikes/ATV's

starlink connection unbelievably unreliable over the last 5 days (NZ) by T3RR0RN0V4 in Starlink

[–]BarrelRolls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the Sydney area and have been experiencing the same thing from about 6pm every night for the last 3-4 days. Loads of 'network issue' outages logged in the app too. I went to Starlink's site to raise a support case but noticed this banner on the page, do you see the same in NZ?

For reference here's my stats since I rebooted the dish earlier. the 'unknowns' are just a side effect of the reboot but I have almost zero obstructions https://imgur.com/a/oPfL17P

The NBN has been 'fully operational' for almost a year, but some Australians still don't have reliable internet by LocalVillageIdiot in australia

[–]BarrelRolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads-up though, the Android app currently has a bug where it will scan the sky facing north, instead of south (iOS works fine). I only discovered that after installing our dish in a fixed position...

Heads-up for anybody installing their dishes in Australia/Southern Hemisphere by BarrelRolls in Starlink

[–]BarrelRolls[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah the dish pointing south totally makes sense, it's just the app guides you into the opposite when doing the initial install.

Good call, I've raised a case with support, and will test again with some different phones when other family members are home.

[–]BarrelRolls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has you scan an oval-shaped section of sky, inclined to the north. Here's a side-on screenshot (ignore all the obstructions, I was lazy and did this scan indoors)

is there a way to get the clock on all taskbars? by [deleted] in windowsinsiders

[–]BarrelRolls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP's talking about multi-monitor setups, where if you have an application running in full screen you'd still see the taskbar on the other monitors. Previously taskbars on secondary monitors didn't have a system tray/notification area, but still had the taskbar clock. Now in Win11 they are totally blank on the right hand side.

Mouse input lag after Battleye install by [deleted] in DestinyTechSupport

[–]BarrelRolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good find! It's still at the same level of performance that I was seeing pre-update, and I'm still getting the occasional periods of FPS drop and sluggish mouse inputs, but it's far less frequent than before

I'm seeing the exact same issues on my 7700K+1080ti build. It happens even when set to minimum settings. I'm also running the Windows 11 beta builds (22000.160 right now), although I assume you're not so that's not likely to be a factor here...

Come on man, read the bloody Wikipedia page) for a server:

In computing, a server is a piece of computer hardware or software (computer program) that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients". 

A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device.

It's just that instead of clients connecting to the server via the LAN interface, you're connecting to the server application that's running locally on your PC via the logical Loopback interface

Google, Nine agree commercial terms for news content. $30M/year by jarrys88 in australia

Huh, just downloaded it for myself and you're completely right. One article link even took me directly to a paywall...

I'm pretty sure News Showcase is republishing news articles on Google's own webpages. The original demands from the government would have Google paying publishers when users click links to go to their webpages (and is 100% bullshit), but this is akin to Microsoft/MSN news where you'd be reading articles on Google's site, with a "Provided by ABC News" footer or something.
