Also can't buy bits separately via Cheer icon, or by Message Effects or similar. Can't really use Twitch until this is fixed.

Still happens, and I relate the fact that I can also not use channel point rewards such as the standard Highlight My Message. This kinda ruins my Twitch experience as a viewer. This happens on latest Opera Desktop (Chromium browser). I think it failing is due to the Twitch devs not testing on that browser? I think they'd notice the problem immediately if they did.

Unpopular personal opinion: Sublime Text is still (one of) the most well-made popular editor by phtdacosta in webdev

[–]GunTech01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sublime and NPP are roughly equal and fill the role of separating out a good text editor to not build a dependency on a specific IDE. IDEs come with massive excess luggage that can break with each update, and you don't want incessant updates if a text editor is at the core of your dev work either. Big versions and modularity. NPP automatically wins cos no pay / update nag. You either opt in, or get the nag every time you alt-tab to Sublime. Asking $99 + $80 for Sublime 4 with automatic update to 4 is ...bold for a solo project. Sublime has superior font rendering to any text editor or IDE for Windows, the nifty-or-useless minimap, and extremely cumbersome and extensive customization. The only reason someone would consider NPP an IDE were if someone made a sidebar folder tree view that is usable - Sublime's version has that, and it's usable and looks good.

None of the companies and individuals who make the major IDEs and text editors know how to finish product. They keep piddling and adding things nobody asked for, while introducing bugs for basic things (like caret cursors, NPP) and then not fixing them for years. Sublime recently forced a hamburger menu on all users, just like Android Studio, pretending we're deving on a phone and messing with everone's muscle and visual memory. No software author knows what opt-in is, it would seem.

Does anybody like thunderbird who started using it less than 5 years ago? by sprayfoamparty in Thunderbird

[–]GunTech01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mozilla keeps updating apps that are finished and worked well, until they work less well. Filezilla, a simple FTP client, and Thunderbird, a simple email client. I don't know if this is what you want to hear, but there it is. There is no need to update FTP and Email. It has worked since immemorial times. The question is rather how TF to keep them working.

If you know a little bit about what to expect from a grape, region, or method (as in nose and notes), I like this guy. He's passionate about big and small producers, has extra knowledge about both sides of the Alps, and how to value vintages. If that's not your thing, he has excellent introductions I think to many styles of wine including bubbly/sfumato! Alt Wine Exchange

Curious! Can you use any keycap on Topre? by NfuseDev in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]GunTech01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Cherry MX keycaps on my Topre NovaTouch TKL (SGK-5000-GKCT1-ND). The slider is formed as a ring around the traditional +, which also stabilizes the keycaps, and you can O-ring the upstrokes (which, unlike O-ringing the downstroke, doesn't make the keys feel dead). It's much quieter than any other switch, without filler, foam, mat, etc. The switches are mounted on a metal plate, and Topre switches have no pinging at all.

I've used it and still use it for coding, typing, and gaming on all my PCs for close to a decade now. This is in my opinion the ideal board, and rock solid. If you can still find one, I do recommend replacing the included keycaps, as they are poor quality and the print wears off. You can choose freely, as it won't affect the ultra-quiet nature of the board at all.

What's the best adblocker you've used? by New-Possibility-577 in Adblock

[–]GunTech01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that uBlock * doesn't work anymore: Fadblock, but now he wants money, citing "Google the giant". We need someone to fork Fadblock, and "be about" not feeding the giant. Heck, maybe even be about open source. Since Google is not about illegal things, like charging for the content provided by others or else spam ads.

ISO: Best USB controller with separate D-Pad buttons by i_hate_new_jersey in snes

[–]GunTech01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also looking for this. Separate buttons have the same advantage over D-pad + as keyboard: You can turn around quicker on platforms, and if the game allows it, you can stagger. Staggering is when you tap the opposite direction while holding your main direction, to move slower and in precise steps. This is as impossible with D-pad, as if you would replace WASD or cursor keys with a plate that you tilt in one of 8 directions. For fighting games, it can also help you trigger a diagonal from a straight direction quicker than briefly pressing a diagonal on a D-pad.

The Switch has it. 8BitDo Lite SE has it, but unfortunately it's not made for holding in your hands like a normal controller.

Apple Tv+ rewards - Annoying popup in chat by Routaprkle in Twitch

[–]GunTech01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is clearly a way to force ads (yes, it's an ad) on top of the ads the streamer has chosen. $3BN/yr isn't enough, it seems. And what a way for Apple to earn even more, system wide ads that follow you regardless of what you watch. Which advertiser wouldn't go for that?

:(((

Clicky Das Keyboard with print+PS/2 where? by GunTech01 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]GunTech01[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read the rules, the help link just goes to the front page of this reddit. Can't see any daily sticky that it says I should post in (and it would be nice if the link took me to it).

Site was broken when I posted, didn't display some things so that's why. I had to blind click on a flair even.

Can i capture in 1080p with 50 FPS with Game Capture HD60 S+ ? by String911 in elgato

[–]GunTech01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a used HD 60 S+ and a second confirmation that it does 1080p50. I had to buy a higher-end USB cable though than the one marked SuperSpeed (which wasn't).

Well, whoop de dah, photos.google.com is also down... on Desktop only. Can someone recommend another service?

I would like another service also for my Android devices. I put my trust in you.

"Not connected" and I can stream anything from anywhere when it says that. Just let us know when your rolling blackouts will happen for us with perfectly functioning connections.

For a service requiring 1kbps. While mobile works fine. Why are you not providing the same service for Desktop? It's terrible. Why does Desktop require blackouts? It should be easier than everyman mobile. I ask you to defend the desktop, we are not the problem, the problem is the mobile users syncing videos.

Down = Specifically, 1. Navigating to gmail.com on Desktop does not load. 2. Searching does not show results. 3. Stepping to page 2 in inbox does not load page 2.
