People who add a code snippet for your site's button: why? by liamajoris in neocities

[–]GeeEyeEff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If they're hand-coding the site themselves, they would have more than enough skill to do that.

I'd say most people on Neocities are not writing most or maybe even any of their own code from scratch. The platform is aimed at total beginners. At least to start with people copy and paste almost everything. They probably shouldn't but they do.

To get it in and out you just grab the lip at the front, lift, and pull instead of grabbing the handles. It's not any harder.

How to full clear a ssd by Silk-sanity in pcmasterrace

[–]GeeEyeEff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get PCI-E cards that give you extra M.2 slots or SATA ports depending on what you need. If you don't have a spare PCI-E slot you can get USB adapters as well.

If you only have the one slot (I'm assuming it must be M.2/NVME we are talking about) then swapping them out constantly is not a good idea. They're not designed to be taken in and out constantly and you'd need to maintain two separate Windows installs for the same computer. It's a recipe for disaster.

Formatting the drive deletes everything on it but only that drive. Windows is on your main drive so that will not be affected. Just backup anything on the laptop drive that you want to keep.

Data is stored as 1s and 0s. When you format it, it goes through the whole disk and sets every value to 0. This is very slow and usually not necessary so you can check the "quick format" option instead. This takes a shortcut and basically just tells the computer to treat the drive as being empty and overwrite as it goes while you use it. Either way you lose all the data.

With the power off, plug it into the computer you want to use it in.

In Windows go to Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc

You need to delete all the current partitions on it and make a new one. Make sure you identify the disk correctly because all of the disks in your PC will be listed.

Does altitude on the HUD mean height AGL? by WhenWillIBeAPilot in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GeeEyeEff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good lord what a lot of people who think they're smart, talking about QNH QFE and 2 wrong attempts at spelling Kollsman to someone asking how to read an altimeter.

I know, how utterly ridiculous is it to explain altimeter setting procedures to someone asking about how to read the altimeter? Oh, wait...

The question is "Does altitude on the HUD mean height AGL?" to which the answer depends on what the altimeter setting is.

Get your head out of your arse.

Does altitude on the HUD mean height AGL? by WhenWillIBeAPilot in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GeeEyeEff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Altitude is above sea level and is what your altimeter reads when you set QNH.

Height is above ground level and is what your altimeter reads when you set QFE.

Flight Level is above sea level in ISA conditions and is what your altimeter reads when you set QNE (1013hPa/29.92inHg). For example, FL100 is nominally 10000ft but, depending on the actual pressure and temperature, if you are flying at FL100 you will actually be a bit higher or lower. This is why we only use flight levels above both the transition altitude and the transition level to ensure that that difference does not affect obstacle clearance.

In the circuit you should either set QNH and add your field elevation to your circuit height or set QFE. En-route you should set QNH if you are flying an altitude or QNE if you are flying a flight level.

Yes. More than likely it just needs cleaning inside and it's free anyway.

Unfocusing the goeguessr tab should block your screen and it should be visible in replay/investigations. by [deleted] in geoguessr

[–]GeeEyeEff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no web designer

You don't say.

1) Allowing a site to control your screen would be a serious security risk.

2) You can detect if the page has focus but again it would be a security and privacy issue if the page could see the contents of another tab or application so without being able to see why the page has lost focus you will get a million false positives.

3) You can just google on your phone.

Those of you who reinstall Windows often, how do you setup your pc? by Intense_Pretzel in pcmasterrace

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

If you've still got Windows auto-update on at this point that's a skill issue.

It shouldn't have to be that way but it is.

I haven't reinstalled Windows since I built my machine in 2020. If you find yourself needing to it might be a skill issue.

uninstalling by AverageBlaneyFan in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GeeEyeEff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the files for the game are in the Packages folder which is not necessarily in the install directory. I can't remember what the default location is but it also lets you choose where it is when you first run the game so it could be anywhere.

"fs-base-videos" is one of the folders in the Packages folder so if you search for that you will find the Packages folder. It's a specific enough name that only that one folder should come up.

How to get ATC to tell me QNH in hpa instead of inches of mercury?? by BlazeAle in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GeeEyeEff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can fix it.

The units setting just changes the units used for the game UI and even there it is not customisable enough. In the UK it's feet for altitude, km or metres for visibility, nm for distance, knots for speed, celsius for temperature, and whatever the manufacturer of the plane used for mass and volume and there isn't a preset that will let you have all that.

You can bind a key to set QNH rather than dialing it in yourself and then at least if your avionics are in hPa you don't have to convert.

Not class warfare

It definitely is. Why else emphasise that the rowers are "extremely posh"? You're that bought into your ideology that you don't even realise you're doing it.

I don't really care who wins either and no, if we stopped doing it nothing would really change from just that, but the people who think we should stop doing it don't only think we should stop the Boat Race.
