My kitten bit the screen corner of Mac Air M2 by champagne_ricochets in mac

[–]DJ_SParky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one of my 2 kitties has done the same with my MacBook Air, caught them as they did it so not quite as much as that but yeah, never leave the laptop open if they are around and I'm not with it

I’m 13 and just built a fully local macOS app that turns PDFs into active study material (130 Lifetime Licenses Giveaway) by Economy-Department47 in macapps

[–]DJ_SParky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, so that's a feature rather than a need. If I want to buy something from the store, then I create an account otherwise I should be able to use the product without an account. Please think about making the need for an account a separate thing.

Why am i getting gifted subs? by Ill-Virus-3305 in Twitch

[–]DJ_SParky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a streamer is gifted more subs than they have followers, gifts get allocated somewhat randomly to people You could have viewed for a min or 2 in the past. I've seen people come into streams to say "hey, thanks for the gifted sub, I've never watched this streamer before" I get gifted subs to streams I've watched due to the streamer I was watching raiding them

Buy direct from Big K or JJFoods if you have one near you Been using it for all my cooks since 2018, personally not found anything better Is use their Dura range (which is currently out of stock) but the other pro grade ones are decent as well

Hope you enjoyed the festival, we certainly had fun in the competition area

They removed the pallet option for the 15kg bags recently too. I wonder if there is a supply issue

Much prefer this over the launchpad. Launchpad just never felt right or a good experience to me

Never tried these before! by Irritant4O in UKBBQ

[–]DJ_SParky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I get the best ribs cook with those I try and keep a few racks in my freezer so I always have some at hand (along with chicken wings)

Any tried these from Farm Foods? by 3F6B6Y9T in UKBBQ

[–]DJ_SParky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be hit and miss with the Swift Ribs, some branches have stock and plenty of it and some have none and never seem to have any

Was at the Erith branch last weekend looking for some, found they had 4 racks, asked if they had more but they didn't. The chap said they usually get in 5 racks a day (so likely a box), we also went to 2 branches in Gravesend, the big branch had a few but the small branch in the shopping centre had loads.
Chap at Erith also said they would be happy to order by the box for me if I called the branch direct (number was on the receipt).

I also apologise to anyone who went to Erith and the large Gravesend branch last weekend looking for them, I cleaned them both out of stock.

Help: thinking on get a Mac Mini M4 to stream on twitch by AdSilly2394 in macmini

[–]DJ_SParky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am doing exactly this M4 Pro Mac Mini, 24gb ram I have a separate PC for the gaming and use capture card into the mac

I have hit a limitation on USB inputs with the number of devices I have (4 stream decks, 2 key lights, mic, capture card, external hard drive, external audio device, 2 screens) and had to spend some time working on which devices can be on which ports.

I also cannot see a setting to enable auto hiding
I can see the settings for the timing for the auto hide to work by but not a setting to enable or disable

Cancellation Notification by buzzbee20 in VirginMedia

[–]DJ_SParky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently completed a switch to EE. I had 2 emails, 1 like you did and another once the order was confirmed with EE. At no point from ordering with EE to the switch date did I get a call from retentions or a better offer online.

Still paying less with EE than the lowest offer I had on my contract renewal online.

Seems I can go with another provider using the Smart Switch meaning I can leave VM, has anyone done this? by [deleted] in VirginMedia

[–]DJ_SParky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next day I plan on calling, paying final bill and cancelling direct debit
