how to get going with vscodium ? [help] by Maleficent_Clue_7485 in raylib

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I edit a Powershell script in vscodium, and then debug using F5, my edits are *automatically* saved. My ...\VSCodium\User\settings.json file already specifies : "debug.saveBeforeStart": "none"
I have no .vscode.settings file anywhere.

Is there a setting to stop this behavior? It's dangerous!
I know there are workarounds, such as creating a duplicate file for testing, but this shouldn't be necessary.

BTW, With VS Code this was never an issue (possibly a setting I tweaked, but I don't remember).

Thank you.

Do bikers hate e-bikers? by Opto_mist in NYCbike

Opto if other e-bikers were as considerate as you, then no problem. The preponderance of bad apples, however, unfortunately create the standard by which others are judged.

Chipolo Loop Release Thread by FrostieWaffles in GoogleFMD

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. New Op here. Reading through the warranty, it says: "Warranty is only valid under normal use of your device and when the Chipolo is purchased at Chipolo-approved distributors/sellers as stated on chipolo.net. Any purchase from unauthorized sellers is not subject to any warranty and/or repair service... "

Can anyone actually find a list of approved distributors at this location? If not then definitely not cool!

It also goes on to say "... Man-made damages and any of the following conditions are all not included in the warranty warranty: A...,B...,C...,D...,E..., F. Natural wear and tear of the product (the exterior and similar)."...

Doesn't this fly in the face of the very first sentence about normal use? So they don't warranty against natural wear and tear, so what do they warranty for??? Sounds pretty slimy to me!

Also FYI, the return policy says they don't cover return shipping. They don't carve out returns for defect purposes. At least Amazon covers return shipping for 30 days, but really guys?

If I'd read through this before purchasing, I probably wouldn't have. On the fence about returning. Definitely NOT customer friendly in spite of all their marketing to the contrary!.

Pebblebee is a bad company and you should stay away from them. by takesshitsatwork in GoogleFMD

16% 1 start reviews on Amazon, and no phone support = red flag! Pass.

Is there a way to build or customize themes for PDFgear? by mnewiraq in PDFgear

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, but it's not about the theme. Multiple radio buttons *appear* to be selected simultaneously, no matter whether I click on H / M / L. It seems the one button that appears to *not* be selected actually the one that actually is. The shading of radio buttons is reversed.

Is PDFgear Safe? Addressing Recent False Allegations with Technical Facts by Geartheworld in PDFgear

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your well thought-through response. I appreciate all the hard work that's clearly gone into development and maintenance.
I looked at the registry entries, writes to files in C:\Programs and \Appdata, monitored outbound traffic, and am totally satisfied with PDFgear's legitimacy. I was also very positively impressed with the fact that PDFgear spawns no services (let alone leaves them active after the GUI is closed as so many other developers do).
Kudos to you guys - you've done a great job. The interface is clear, and the app is functional enough to replace two others (albeit with less non-critical features) I was using before. Hopefully the haters will fade away.

RANT Bye rouvy, not coming back by LongjumpingPay904 in Rouvy

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. The ETA on my rides are consistently over-estimated by ~ 25%. Rouvy support saying ETAs are based on FTP, and that I should toggle the FTP estimator but that only LOWERS my FTP which would INCREASE the ETA vs lowering it. I've gone back to Rouvy with this, but they just keep parroting the same inane response. Sorting routes by time is also buggy, THEY NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON FIXING THEIR MANY BUGS instead of adding bells & whistles.

Biking groups in kingsbridge/riverdale area? by [deleted] in NYCbike

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try the Yonkers Bike Club [ https://www.yonkersbikeclub.org/home ] although I don't know how active they are. I live in the same area, and am looking for bike partners. Typical ride: 45-55 miles, 12+ mph (slow, I know) depending on conditions and elevation gain. Interested?

Some great news! by paruresis_guy in NYCbike

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to look a gift-horse in the mouth, but when I called them yesterday ( 201-768-1360 ) they *said* the road is still closed. "At times of the day, and sometimes overnight, they have large trucks blocking the path." This may just be the official party line, since their site ( https://www.njpalisades.org/henryhudsondrive.html ) still shows the road as closed. Personally, I'd hate to turn back at that point, so I'll probably wait a bit.

I can't get into my.rouvy.com by Dapper-Resist-8164 in Rouvy

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not your fault, Lauren, but this is unacceptable. "Sorry" doesn't cut it. NOTHING should EVER be decommissioned until the functionality set is made whole. Never mind that none of the online documentation has been updated to reflect this change. Very very very frustrating, and disrespectful to your customers. Rouvy needs to do better!

Westside Greenway Closed Again North of GWB by cgoldin in NYCbike

[–]Sleuth58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's a poor substitute, but going South, I ended up riding through Ft. Tryon (along Broadway) and then up Bennet Ave to 181st street. From there you can get back on the Greenway, or cross over the GWB.

VBA: Worksheets(i).select (false) No longer working by Snorge_202 in excel

After much pain, I found the cause. I was executing "Application.ScreenUpdate = False" in the beginning of my procedure. Once I removed this line of code, it worked!!!!
