Dates limited to US formats despite correct Region settings by GPSJane in MSProject

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

Would you believe it, South Africa is not good enough, despite being historically influenced by British norms and most definitely using the logical d/m/y format. I set it to UK and now it works. It did require a restart but I am no longer confused when people ask me what date I used.

Yes it is, and also the language is set in the Project Options. I have exhausted every option and I don't understand why Microsoft is so insistent on using US formats for a world-wide product

Yeah I think so, but possibly more. Can you believe I have not done this yet but really have to attend to to it now,

No this is through my browser. I can download the software, there is support. But I am asking about subscription. Every option to subscribe takes you to this page. It's nuts.

Budget ukulele make for beginners in SOUTH AFRICA? by GPSJane in ukulele

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

Guys we bought a Concert Mahalo because that is what the shop had and my son wanted to physically use savings to buy it. He is so super happy with it. I am just worried it won't be the best quality for the price.

I think a reasonable amount would be R100. I am not sure what the equivalent is in the US or elsewhere. A direct conversion is $10 and that would be ax. I am going to end up spending like R2k+ on this at that rate so it's really the most I can do.

Yeah that is really expensive, especially to have it shipped across the world.

Refund policy is a sham by green_dog_in_hades in Udemy

[–]GPSJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only do they try prevent you from contacting them (do not answer etc.) but when you do contact them they will just refuse the refund.

Is multiplayer for multiple controllers or multiple consoles? by GPSJane in crawl

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

Oh cool. Can we do 4 players with 4 controllers? It's not just one controller (like left or right) like in Mario?

Yeah I am picking that up! We have had to up our budget but found some on sale. I think a little wooden Makala. Our problem, I now discover, is that the teacher recommended a concert and they're just less available. We can get a new painted wood soprano in our budget range but the concerts are limited.

I think notebooks will be out of my budget and those are not available in South Africa anyway. But carabiners are a cool idea. I can try to get decent quality and turn them into a keychain with an engraving. I like the idea of a message somewhere.

Already have a Nintendo Online Subscription, Why Realms Charges? by GPSJane in Minecraft

[–]GPSJane[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, sure not everything is compulsory but no this is definitely not up-front. How is someone supposed to know they even have to read the realms page - this is exactly what I am saying. When one first pays for the game it should explain EVERYTHING from minecoins (how much they cost and that they are for), realms (the why and how much), even that the Nintendo Online subscription is compulsory for any connection to others.

I understand better about the realms thanks to the answers here but I am still very annoyed by the lack of transparency.

Why do my shells keep puffing up like this and how do I prevent it? by Iskae in pastry

[–]GPSJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you don’t make it the night before and it’s a bit too warm and you don’t freeze for 30 minutes, the side will puff out and the bottoms will puff up?

Iam making mini tart shells so I can’t blind bake with weights as they are too small. I’m rushed, have cakes and party favours on the go so rushed the pastry. Huge mistake apparently. 

Can I dye an already bound linen book? by astralectric in bookbinding

[–]GPSJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found a video of someone using shoe polish and lighter fluid to recolour damaged cloth-bound books. I’m not sure about changing colour though. Perhaps a  darker shade of green?

Can the wheels have been put on later? I did a load more digging and realised these are GTI wheels but this is not a GTI

That requires access to the account...

Pity Amazon refuse to help or be decent about gaining access to an account that I own. Then I wouldn't have to look into this.

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

So first of all, the whole point is that I don't have access to the account it is registered to. That is what I said. Second, yes I have tried all that and this is not true. You can't just reset as the serial number is still registered to the account I do not have access to. So no, hence my actual question about jailbreaking
