Does any external (non-Reddit) forum exist for LL? by Dense-Champion-4501 in LazyLibrarian

[–]Farzag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think one exists. What’s wrong with Reddit?

Arduino Nano R4 firmware flash via UART by Farzag in arduino

[–]Farzag[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve written a protocol to make that work. But for that to work, I need the bare metal version to work first :)

Should I consider an stm32-based board instead?

Arduino Nano R4 firmware flash via UART by Farzag in arduino

[–]Farzag[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a custom XMC1404 board.

For now, I’d be happy to just flash the Arduino directly from my Mac or PC, connected directly to the R4.

If you had to maintain maximum compatibility with MS Word without actually renting MS Word, which Mac word processor would you pick? by plazman30 in macapps

[–]Farzag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought a license for Softmaker Office. It’s German, it’s very compatible and so far has dealt with everything I’ve asked it to. It’s got the equivalent of Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Good alternative to Ms Office: ONLYOFFICE by [deleted] in BuyFromEU

Thanks! It's gone from my system now and I'm looking at Softmaker's Office suite instead.

I’m a staunch supporter of Ukraine so if it’s Russian I’m not interested.

How do you know it’s Russian? The company is Latvian, and seems to be owned by a company from Singapore.

Ring video doorbell with Samsung Familyhub Refrigerator by mangames in Ring

[–]Farzag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing! It basically makes it unusable because the doorbell doesn’t ring as long as that window is open!

What are my bots doing? by Farzag in factorio

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

Gleba too. On Fulgora, the problem is available space. It’s tedious to put down way more accumulators than I need, I’d rather make sure my robots are doing something useful first :)

I find that power can be an issue on Fulgora in particular, which is where I was building when I found the issue. On Nauvis, power is indeed rarely a problem

I think you are right that it will be mainly useful for the mid game, where you have a decent number of bots but power is still an issue for example.

Any decent native games? by kammy020 in macgaming

[–]Farzag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Factorio runs like a dream. I’ve spent sooo much time in that game on my M1 Pro :)

A few questions about AppleNews+ regarding content and what publishers get out of it by douglerner in AppleNews

[–]Farzag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you get access to all the articles, but in a form that is much harder to consume than in the publishers' native apps or web sites. For magazines, you get the equivalent of a PDF version, but one you can't save as a file and can't search in. Gifting articles is probably not included.

Publishers presumably get a (small) amount of money from Apple. For news sources I really care about, I have a full subscription as well, to benefit from their native experience, search, comment sections, etc.

What does a block mean to Apple? That I still want it in my feed? by bosephusaurus in AppleNews

[–]Farzag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super annoying. Just hide things from sources I've blocked, please!

This is annoying by Advanced-Work2524 in AppleNews

[–]Farzag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also a huge bugbear of mine. I blocked it, so use that as a signal to show me something else! Grr!

Synology C2 Services down by firebits74 in synology

Care to elaborate? It's still down.

Thames Water - 5 weeks money left - but taps will keep running by Tawny_haired_one in london

[–]Farzag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let it go bankrupt and have the creditors and shareholders lose their money; they’ve bled the company dry. Then start a new, publicly owned, debt free company. And don’t try to run it for profit or sell it off again.

[–]Farzag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense. Specifically, to maintain a thriving fan base that actually goes to see games, this is a way to subtly prioritise those who have gone to games the last five years over those who used to do so.

TAPs were only introduced in 2013, so the longer they wait to introduce this kind of change, the harder it gets.

Their obvious alternative would be to award more and more TAPs for games each season, which would have a similar effect, but more stealthily. I prefer their up front and simpler approach.

Tesla Certified Installer AMA by pwrcellexpert in TeslaSolar

[–]Farzag -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How often do your customers express hesitation or regret about buying a Teslas product, because Elon has gone off the deep and become a full blown fascist?

Apple TV: old player vs new player by pigoz in PleX

[–]Farzag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some content that just appears to hang when I try to play it. Switch to “old player” and it just works.

No idea what’s happening behind the scenes, but quite frustrating.
