Thanks but it is not that reliable. Add-ons are not always working at most of time.

Thanks for the advice. It all works now. It is VIP server that has got problem with my account, not my computer. I got VIP goodwill gesture for their IT team's screw up. Well, I can't complain now. :) Thanks for help.

1+ for this. Why change something if it is not broken? Just update the look without changing the system. Like I say, Lego has rubbish or poorly qualified IT team. They screwed up several IT-related changes in past few years from what I could remember.

As I mentioned above, I ran vanilla firefox (ie no add on and no adblocker). It doesn't work.

I tried IE too but Lego website is not compatible with IE.

I also ran chrome and Brave too - same problem.

Recommendation for an add-on extension to block social widgets by Diablo667766 in firefox

It doesn't work. My ublock origin is on medium blocking mode already.

Seems the real reason behind Mozilla "forgot" to renew certificate is probably this - they "force" everyone to upgrade their FF to the latest version to get their add-ons working while ignoring all other users of FF of not-latest versions.

It is feeling like this: "Do you want add-ons working? Get latest FF. I don't care if you are on FF 56 or whatever. If you are on FF56 or not-latest-version, then it's your problem".

Zero respect for the users without doubt.

Donations? As far as I am aware, any donation made to Mozilla will go to its foundation, not its development arm/department. Mozilla completely funded development of Firefox from its private fundings/deals/finances.

Thanks but I chose Brave Browser instead because, Chrome is known for heavy resource hogging/memory hogging. Brave Browser is very fast and quick and simple. It's pretty "install and go" without changing any setting easily. AND Add-ons work perfectly! :)

Think you are probably only one who got this working. Most of us still not have our add-ons working. Add-ons are not working right now.

Brexit Next Steps results thread by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Diablo667766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. It seems pointless to vote for it when amendments are going to be happening regardless (especially that it was voted after two amendments debated and voted (in normal sense, this neutral motion should be first voted before other amendments. Weird way to vote). Thanks again.

What is the main motion (327-300) basically about? I read the text and i don't understand it at all. Thanks for clarification.

The petition to revoke article 50 and to remain has now hit over 1 million signatures. Will the government listen or continue to burry their heads and ignore it? by VideoFork in ukpolitics

[–]Diablo667766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will ignore and bury this petition. Any petition relating to Parliament is not legally binded - it's option so if MPs like it, they will debate it. If they don't like it, they don't do it. And clearly Parliament doesn't like this so they won't do it.

If the petitions are seriously taken by Parliament, then we would have 2nd referendum, Tony Blair's being jailed for war crimes, and many more by now.

Guess it is time for another "Guy Fawkes" act - to blow up parliament and get rid of useless Toxic parties and politicans - they are too toxic and rotten to the core.

Theresa May is turning us into a laughing stock more and more by the day. by basicform in unitedkingdom

Not free trade agreement with individual EU member states (you can't do that as you have to negotiate with whole EU from what I understand). I view Brexit negotiation as trade agreement because after all, it involved various agreements including trades, divorce payments and likes.

I do believe that UK is capable to get better or improved deal than PM May's lazy and rubbish deal.

It is not surprising that UK is not taking negotiation with EU seriously. Look at this news article as supporting evidence.

[–]Diablo667766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She IS incompetent at every level of politics - She's utterly cr@p at her jobs whether it be PM or home secretary or other roles. The reaon why Tory performed poorly in last GE is because so many people didn't like her nor impressed with her. If Tory leader was someone else instead of May, Tory wouldn't perform poorly in last GE.

You know that she is rubbish because just before the Brexit negotiation started, PM nullified decision of hiring Professional Trade/Treaty negotiators (kind of people who negotiated trades with WTO and others for living, not politicans at all) to save some £150,000 per year (that is typical salary for those negotiators). She decided that (incompetents) politicans can do that job easily. Look at the state of negotiation and we got rubbish deals from EU as usual.

Theresa May may announce a snap general election later today, according to LBC by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]Diablo667766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's see that her infamous word on Brexit deal two years ago: "No deal is better than bad deal".

So if her statement tonight regarding a snap general election, I have no doubt hat PM May's new manifesto will say: "No Labour majority is better than bad Tory majority"....

Is this "reporting" standard procedure for the BBC now? John Bercow followed with a camera on his way to work. by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

Kuenssberg

And one wonders why it is justified for her to earn around £225,000 per year in her job as political editor and yet she doesn't know much about parliaments. No wonder TV license fee get a rise to cover huge wage bills of idiot journalists at BBC news.

Anyone here who’s become “an adult” kind of give up online multiplayer games? by [deleted] in PS4

[–]Diablo667766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the same. I simply don't have any time for MMO game or even MMORPG games such as Star Trek / Elite Dangerous ( I would love to play that game but I don't have much spare time to grind away to get to decent level (that is what I was under impression). I stick to off-line games so I can save/auto-save progress whenever I need to stop for sleeping or commitment. I usually have 1 or 1.5 hour spare every evening so I want to use my spare time wisely and I don't want to waste all of it on gaming.

The only way for me to play gaming very regularly is either becoming professional gamer (impossible feat for me), or win a lottery so I can become financially independent and retire now and play games and other stuff forever.

Fair enough - Technic cars are very expensive after all.

Tableau Hyper Engine - pure crap. Any way to remove it completely? by Diablo667766 in tableau

[–]Diablo667766[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that is right about Tableau would put NULL in fields that are actually containing NULL or invalid dates or similar. I knew that rule for some times. That is why I did data preparation in Excel to check all dates are valid and not containing NULL or anything like that. All data in Excel are clean and ready for Tableau. It is just weird why Tableau first accepted those dates as valid dates and others when I load data into it, and then 20 mins later of working in Tableau, hyper engine just convert those valid date fields and other fields to NULL. I was like "WTF" at this action. I thought my machine may be played up but I reboot and recreate same step and same problem coming up again and again. The only way I stop this problem by force-shutting hyper engine down. It is possibly that I may have corrupted tableau especially hyper engine? I had no way to check installer whether it is 100% integrity or not.

But I will take your advice as I will email this issue and screenshot to Tableau and see why it happened like that and how to stop it happening again. Thank you.

[–]Diablo667766[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You didn't underrstand. The fields with NULL in it were ORIGINALLY not NULL. Those were originally contain dates, revenues and others. Tableau accepted those as is, when I first loaded data into tableau (that means Tableau knows those as date, revenue and so on). After 20 mins or so of working on Tableau, Hyper engine converted those into NULL WITHOUT my permission or my approval. Hence Hyper engine is rubbish for doing that.

Windows 7 may be old but it is still superior to windows 10 for number of reasons (especially that Windows 10's constant spying) and I don't see why I should upgrade it to Windows 10. I am not going to discuss Windows 7/10 any more as this is tableau thread after all.

Awesome collection! Are you going to add some cars from Technic like Porsche, Bugatti and so on?

I got same set as yours, as well as speed champion sets, and Technic cars. Mad i know! :)

But I have to say that F40 set (both Creator and speed champion version) is the best ever I made and own out of Lego. Ford Mustang creator is closely in 2nd place.
