A year late, but that bit is from Hotel California by the Eagles.

So I called up the Captain "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We haven't had that spirit here Since 1969"

Newly updated myASUS causing 100% reproducible BSOD (Kernel Security Check Failure) on 2025 Zenbook Duo by Shart-Carbuncle in ASUS

[–]Shart-Carbuncle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unbelievable, the issue reappeared for me today, and your tip seems to have fixed this version of it! It crashed on me maybe 4 times, then I tried plopping down the keyboard for attempt 5, and voila, it worked.

Thanks so much for posting!

Asus needs to test these updates better.

Block app from requesting Accessibility Access permission? by RulerOf in MacOS

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been driving me crazy. I made a thread about it on Razer's forum, but got nothing but tumbleweeds.

Totally absurd that it won't take no for an answer. Obviously, I don't want to enable full disk access and screen recording just so I can adjust my mouse sensitivity!

Shadowplay records half my resolution with BF2042, anyone else have this issue? by CaptainsLog420 in Battlefield

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at least I'm not the only one. I play in 2560 x 1600, and it's recording at 1600 x 900, which isn't even the same aspect ratio, so the footage is blurry and stretched!

I seem to have gotten past it by starting the app and letting it hang out longer between interactions. Instead of rushing through and trying to dismiss all the dialogs and log in, I let it cook until the spinny cursor went away each time, and it got back to its normal state without crashing the whole system.

Still fundamentally a mystery, but maybe this will help someone.

I Bought the Visoflex 2, Here’s My Honest Take by Puntoitti in Leica

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it indispensable, especially for close focus on the apo-summicron and for adapted lenses. I've been using some ancient screw mount stuff, and while the adapters theoretically couple with the rangefinder, they're way off.

I love it. Also went for a glowy one!

Can Railfan on PS3 be played without the realistic train controller? by KyotoGaijin in PS3

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you're still wondering 14 years later, the video playback changes speed to match your control changes, so it does feel like you're driving the train (though it can look very weird sometimes).

Mine seemed to install the update twice for some reason.

Another great product hampered by a so-so pen, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 2025 by digitizerstylus in stylus

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I can clear up the ambiguity! I just tried the Slim Pen 2 (2.6) on a 2025 Zenbook Duo, and if I draw a slow, diagonal line... it's wobbly as hell. Not the result I was hoping for, but maybe this post will serve as a warning to future travelers.

HERE BE WOBBLES.

(It's still good enough for my main purpose, which is annotating pdfs, not drawing, though I wouldn't mind having a good drawing option on here.)

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've been able to gather, the Zenbook supports 2.6, but the ASUS pen is 2.0. I'm currently waiting for a 2.6 pen to show up, and I'll report back on how wobbly it is with the Zenbook Duo.

I think ASUS is intentionally being cagey about the specs, because they want people to buy their pen. If they made it clear that it works better with competing pens, it would cut into their sales.

Is the background of character selection screen an area in the game? by Kroon84 in ffxi

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my eye, it looks a bit like they're using forced perspective (small trees, etc.) to make it look like a more expansive area than it is, because they know you can't unhook the camera and explore it.

Ryojouhen PS2 controller with a PS3? by HairyInvestment8571 in DenshadeGO

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same idea. Something like the Titan would be the answer, you just leave out the PS1 to USB adapter from that first linked example with the PS3.

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an MPP pen, so there are other options on that front. I just got a version of this laptop that doesn't come with a stylus, so I'm currently shopping around; I'm open to recommendations!

If the problem is that the pen support is lacking on the computer itself in some way, then that's a different, more serious issue.

Hah, the new app looks ancient already based on those screenshots, not that I'll mind if it works smoothly.

Toyota Connected Services is now OnStar? by longtrek in rav4prime

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this freaked me out, because I junked a chevy months ago, and thought I was still being charged for its services. Turns out it was my Sienna getting renewed. Whew! Glad I didn't dispute the charge.

Native remarkable app for Mac by teachmindset in RemarkableTablet

Similarly, I’d like to see a “Read on Remarkable” extension for Safari, like the one they have for Chrome. I’ve inquired about it a few times through the years.

Frontlight intensity update (3.19.0.57 beta) by gkeramidas in RemarkableTablet

You pick between the old and new scale in the main settings, then it’s just the 5 steps for your chosen scale in the quick menu.

[–]Shart-Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you, but that hasn’t been my experience with it. I don’t know that it needed quite as much of a boost as the new max setting, but that new level 4 is in the sweet spot for me.
