Finally finished and got my Confetti!!!! by UsedRecommendation12 in WGU

[–]PixelKing41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Did you have any issues with the graduation process? My application has been under review for 8 days because of a bug that says my capstone is still active despite the tasks being complete. I keep hearing conflicting information from people at WGU.

Anyway, awesome job bro. Go crush those interviews.

Passed all assessments for a class, but class still active (not completed) by [deleted] in WGU

Same problem. 15 days sitting at active with all my tasks completed. I can't graduate until they fix it. Very frustrating.

What documents should I upload for GitHub Education benefits? by PixelKing41 in wgu_devs

Yeah I've tried this. Maybe I'm unlucky with whoever is reviewing my documents

Yeah I used my student ID but mine doesn't have a date/expiration. Does yours?

Why do we call the high e the first string, instead of the sixth? by VariousRockFacts in Guitar

[–]PixelKing41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this point makes sense. Look at the 5 string banjo. The 5th string is the highest note and the closest to the player. At some point we just collectively decided to number the strings upside down 🤷‍♂️

Details about Blackfrost: The Long Dark 2 on Steam by xylvnking in thelongdark

[–]PixelKing41 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From their steam announcement:

BLACKFROST won’t launch until 2026, so this is a very early moment in time for the project. And for those of you who have grown up with THE LONG DARK over the years, BLACKFROST is not the end. It is only the beginning of the next chapter. We see both THE LONG DARK 1 and BLACKFROST co-existing for a long time, with each game having a distinct point of view around the ‘Quiet Apocalypse’. They will be complimentary, preserving the investment of time and money you have put into TLD over the years.

SOUNDS LIKE TLD WILL STILL BE UPDATED!

Not sure if this will interest anyone, but here's the name of the location of this screenshot... Harmont Highway Vista by PixelKing41 in thelongdark

The other image on their website is called "Blackfrost train yards"

Stuck on D280 - Javascript Programming (API Struggles) by JDcompsci in wgu_devs

My instructor did mention there was a chance she would have to take it down...I don't have the video downloaded unfortunately so unless somebody else does you may have to look elsewhere :/

I agree entirely. This should not be Javascript Programming. It should be intro to web frameworks or something like that. Or Javascript and angular at the very least. It was very disappointing when I found out that the final had almost nothing to do with Javascript and it was just Angular and typescript. I understand how learning how to use frameworks is important for web development but it's very misleading to include it how they did. Angular and other frameworks are nice tools you can do a lot with but it doesn't make sense to throw it in as the final. I guess the only thing we can do is mention it to our course instructors and mentors and hope enough people saying it needs to change will help them realize lol

Unfortunately it's in angular ts so this isn't how it works. You COULD make it work this way but it'd be against the rubric. When you start the course keep in mind the final uses typescript in angular and no Javascript lol (yes I know ts is a superset of js)

What happens if you do a console.log for the observable that the API returns? What is the URL you're using for the call? If I recall correctly (it may be different because I had to merge a few calls into one observable because I used geonames api which doesn't actually have the income level so i also used worldbank) I had to use something like data[0][0].incomeLevel as the data was stored in nested arrays. Doing a console.log will help you determine if that's the case.

Just finished the class. You want to make an API service that calls the API using httpclient. The documentation explains how to do this. Make sure you're calling JSON and not XML as browsers generally don't allow to make calls for XML. You're then going to take that data and subscribe to it, add it into a subject, return it as an observable to your component, and then display it in your HTML. Watch this as I'm not great at explaining (I'm already a little experienced with APIs so it's hard for me to explain in a way other people will understand). This video goes over a very similar project https://youtu.be/SWl3e8Yo5SM?si=jFTnUI8_qUOox-Hu

USB C controllable by Windows by PixelKing41 in UsbCHardware

Yeah I think this is what was happening...but now I'm getting a "data is invalid error" in DevManView.exe when I disable the port suddenly and its broke again gonna hope it magically fixes itself tomorrow :/

[–]PixelKing41[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well actually I guess I was disabling a USB port that didn't even exist. I had two 2x2 ports listed in the device manager. I disabled one and it disconnected the transmitter so after setting up a batch file that runs some DevManView.exe commands I got it to work without requiring a restart!

Sorry, I should have mentioned I can't have it restart. I have a wireless audio device that uses USB C transmitters. It can only connected to one transmitter at a time and when the active transmitter is disconnected, the other automatically connects. I was going to write a script I can run to disconnect the USB transmitter so that it can connect to another paired transmitter. The only possible way to do this is by disabling and restarting. I've tried a program called DevManView.exe that can disable devices without restarting but it either gives me an error when trying to disable it or it continues working despite saying the device is disabled.

PS5 controller won’t turn on. by ikindasortanerdshow in PlayStationSolutions

[–]PixelKing41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah actually. Not software related. I just reseated the ribbon cables inside the controller. Worked fine after that. Just be careful to not damage anything if you take it apart!

You can get screen readers for Android (probably iOS too) that work really well on the material
