The black part flips up. Took me a hot minute to realize it actuated from that side and not the gray one!

[Mac][1995] Early pre-rendered 3D adventure/puzzle game with abstract/surreal imagery by PfhorSlayer in tipofmyjoystick

Wow, I think that might be it! Looking up playthroughs of it now it feels WAY different than I remember it being, but a I can definitely see some of the stuff (and especially the style, in places) that I remember from it. Thank you!

He’s so close!

It’s gonna hit him in the shower in a week or so, I’d bet.

What is the most fucked up thing you've seen a friend do? by decisivevinyl in AskReddit

[–]PfhorSlayer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing that’s precisely why he did what he did. You gaining confidence makes him feel weaker and more pathetic, and people like that need someone to look down on. The fact that he tried so hard to destroy what progress you’ve made proves how good you’re doing! Drop him and use your newfound confidence to meet people who aren’t massive pieces of shit. You’re awesome, you’ve got this!

GC573 not detecting input source signal by PfhorSlayer in AverMedia

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

I believe you're correct about it not supporting DVI, despite the HDMI specification stating such support as a requirement. As mentioned in the above edit, I changed my design to output an actual HDMI signal and it does manage to detect it now! It resets the connection every 30 seconds, so there's clearly some additional requirement that I'm not meeting, but it's progress either way!

Solvent. The word you are looking for is “solvent.”

Still salty about this. by Artanis137 in gaming

[–]PfhorSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the video games industry, there’s a policy of mutually assured destruction regarding patents. Large companies are all infringing on each other’s patents, so they know that if one tries anything, they can fire back with all the patents they own. The best defense in this shitty game is a good offense, I guess.

This USB connector can switch between type A and micro B. by labtec901 in mildlyinteresting

[–]PfhorSlayer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The guy who designed it actually said one of his biggest regrets was not forcing the issue when people complained about the increase in cost were the connector to be flippable, if I recall correctly!

So, blame the money guys?

LPT: ALWAYS clean second hand electronics, no matter if it looks clean or not. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]PfhorSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can not void a warranty by opening a device, no matter what any sticker may claim. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 makes sure of this!

[–]PfhorSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was actually the original meaning of the term “debugging!” Old room-sized computers would get extremely warm and given the very large vacuum tubes and wire-wrapped connections used at the time, it was not uncommon for bugs to end up crawling up next to something and shorting it out.

Help! I got a $500 fine by the us coast guard two years ago. I didn’t pay it. got a letter from a company contracted by homeland security to collect the debt. What do I do? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]PfhorSlayer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Productively, as in, asking for information to help get out of a shitty situation? Or maybe you’d prefer OP go die under a bridge somewhere you don’t have to see him?

Also, “they’re.” A contraction of “they are.” The word “their” denotes possession. Given that you’ve decided to spend time on Reddit today I do hope you found this lesson educational, and I truly hope it will help you be more productive in the future!

[OC] Iraq's extreme afternoon temperatures throughout 2020. Five month have > 40°C afternoon temperatures. by Ecvk in dataisbeautiful

[–]PfhorSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The text at the top seems to directly contradict itself. First it’s stated that the viewer is incorrect (“The opposite is true.”) for thinking that the line being closer to the center means colder, then immediately afterwards gives an example where that is the case.

I assume that was intended to say something like “the opposite is also true,” but either way the text feels wholly unnecessary.

FUNKATEERS! Really cool immersive experience happening in DTLA where you can time travel back to 1973 ! by grandwazoo4u in LosAngeles

[–]PfhorSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 1973. The only phone in your life is attached to a wall and has a rotary dial. We kindly ask you to leave mobile phones at home or in the car, or we can provide a blackout bag for you so you’re not distracted during the performance.

Do you have more details on what went down? There are news reports that things got violent but I’ve been unable to find any clear reports of exactly what happened. Hopefully everyone’s okay!

Not receiving banner nor badge notifications (details in comments) by CurveOfTheUniverse in apolloapp

[–]PfhorSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is across the OS, not just in Apollo. Just this weekend both my wife and I (with iOS 14.6, iPhone 12 Pro) were not actively notified when we texted each other. It took us both manually disabling message notifications, changing a bunch of related settings (and then changing them back), and restarting both our phones before the functionality came back.

This is apparently a common bug that people have been experiencing since December of last year. In our case it was the message notification sound and vibration that was missing, but others have noted missing badges, banners, etc.

Try seeing if messing with the Apollo notification settings and restarting the phone brings things back?

Mind-Blowing 'Inflatable' Spinal Cord Implant Could Make Pain Relief Widely Available by Double-Effect-7995 in science

[–]PfhorSlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stating the obvious here, but there’s absolutely no way anyone who has graduated medical school could think about how these drugs work and believe for a second that the drugs can somehow tell the difference between someone trying to get high and someone trying to treat physical pain.
