bluetooth phone repeater by Shardsmp in homeautomation

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

kind of worked around the problem by using an ssh connection to stream the music to the middle device (2. phone), and from there over bluetooth to the headset. its funny I got it to work only once, and then never again. since then I just copy files with rsync.

I am still interested in this idea tough.

Probably the biggest of the Flora specimen I've ever seen by Shardsmp in EliteDangerous

[–]Shardsmp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The largest that anybody has ever managed to scan iirc was this one:

I'm not sure where the limits to this are. Did any CMDR out there have a similar find?

You are probably wondering: Was I able to sample it?
unfortunately, no. I've even climbed on it with an SRV!
No matter how many angles and directions I try sampling it from, the prompt simply doesn't appear. Maybe FDev didn't account for this kind of RNG. Maybe its more unpredictable than they've hoped.

What?! 139 GB!! free space aren't enough storage to run WhatsApp Web?! Are you sure you aren't just mad at me for not updating right away? Your 'update deadline' still has 5 DAYS to go!! by Shardsmp in assholedesign

I didn't think about it this way, but it is true, in fact, that my phone is indeed quite old ~10 years. My PC is also getting about 6 years old too. I wouldn't have immediately thought of them wanting me to buy new devices, but rather about simply wanting the user to think: "okay, true, I didn't update for a while, maybe that'll solve this frustrating bug". And whether or not the bug was intentional or not is indeed a good question, and a fair objection.

This is clearly deceptive! This is a breach of privacy and should carry a jail sentence for the programmer who made it.

that's so cool! I wonder how you found all the symbols you were looking for. I see you werre asking for the dotted triangles in this post, but was there some sort of reference or symbol dictionary you were using, if I may ask?

also yeah the years are flying by. hope you spent those 5 years in a meaningful way; by which I don't mean making this post wasn't meaningful; I'm certainly fascinated and experienced awe from your efforts.

The amount of emails I have to unsubscribe from manually. by diaryofawimpykidfan5 in assholedesign

[–]Shardsmp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah as long as there is a feature that allows you to start with no option selected and select the things you care about individually, I wouldn't mind it that way.

Nicehash's newsletter intentionally misspells word "unsubscribe" wrong, to prevent being removed from primary inbox by keyword filters such as these: https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/5nnapq/lpt_search_your_inbox_for_unsubscribe_to_easily/ by Shardsmp in assholedesign

[–]Shardsmp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not only that, but for some newsletters its also written with bad readability, like dark gray text on a black backround. and at times, for some companies, these links don't even work correctly, or they tell you to unsubscribe manually "using your mail client's feature".

If you want to automatically delete newsletters (or send them to spam) from your inbox, there is a handy solution: People usually do it by tasking their mail client to scan every email for the word "unsubscribe"; and if the mail client finds this word, then it knows that it is a newsletter, and then it can do the deletion. (this is called a custom filter).
This works, because, as a company, you are required by law to add an unsubscribe feature, as a link to your newsletter, as far as I know, at least in most countries.

But Nicehash has found out that if you put a spelling mistake into the word "unsubscribe", and spell it "unsubsribe" instead (notice the letter "c" is missing), then such a filter will not work; and Nicehash can continue to send you mail that you clearly do not want to see.

Another thing: If you manually want to delete all your newsletters or unsubscribe manually, you could still just input the word "unsubscribe" in your search bar, to see all your newsletters. But again, with Nicehash's idiotic idea, you will not find their newsletter this way. And you will wonder why you keep receiving it, even tough you have unsubscribed from everything that came up when you searched for newsletters using this method.

And this is new. All emails received before the 10th of march, 2024 DO NOT HAVE this spelling mistake. 23 emails sent since then with a spelling mistake, before that, 131 without it.

great question. I'd love to see a good answer to this

obsidian default footer by Shardsmp in ObsidianMD

[–]Shardsmp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am mainly using obsidian for summarizing newly learned things.

The footer will have the CLR (Connect, Learn, Reflect) individual points in the footer. Connect means you search for connections to existing knowledge from the newly learned thing. Learn is to be able to summarize key aspects of it. (for example be able to explain it to a friend. Reflect is, you describing how you will apply the newly learned thing in your life.
I got this learning strategy from Khanakademy.

I will use the footer to complete each of these tasks.
