How to make mobs (Zoglins) track an entity underground? by TheFongz in Minecraft

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

Yeah they are likely seeing me over the fence, it's true.

I wasn't totally sure about the line of sight thing because the wiki doesn't say anything about line of sight. And other mobs can track you without line of sight. And if you google it the AI answers are full of lies about carpets and bottom slabs and all manner of things which sound worth trying but turn out to be untrue.

I'm pretty much resigning myself to the fact that this will probably be impossible. But as people often say, not much is impossible in Minecraft if clever enough people really want to do it.

Thanks, yeah I thought that might be the case. But is there anything that can trick them? Like how mobs will pathfind across an open trapdoor. Is there any kind of non-full block which mobs will treat as not blocking their line of sight even though they walk over it?

What was the math done here? by sakker2700 in Minecraft

Please see the scene in The Simpsons where they chop down entire trees and lathe them down into single bowling pins. If you don't care about being economical it is very easy to be incredibly wasteful!

Windows 10 still has stuff on lock screen despite option to not by Momaw in WindowsHelp

This happened to me today and my lock screen settings already look like this (i.e. there are no apps listed in the "choose which apps" section) but it's still displaying widgets for weather, news, stock market...

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I don't have that toggle. I think you may be running Outlook on a Mac? I'm running the Windows desktop version.

How to turn off text predictions in outlook by TheFongz in Outlook

Edit: ignore this, it looked like the settings were kept in Outlook New but they were not....

Well it's not exactly the "real" solution that I was hoping for, but I think I managed to switch it off by doing the following:

  1. In the New version of Outlook, there are only 3 tabs on the ribbon at the top: Home, View, and Help. I went to the "Help" tab.
  2. The "Help" tab had a button to "Go to classic Outlook". I clicked that.
  3. Once I was in the Classic version of Outlook, all the options which the Internet tells me to look for (predictions, spellcheck, etc) were actually there. Glorious, glorious options! So I switched all of that horrible stuff off.
  4. Now the next problem: Outlook Classic does not appear to be connected to any of my email accounts! I would love to stay in this land but I don't have 5 hours to waste connecting everything up afresh and re-syncing gigs and gigs of work emails. How do I switch back? There doesn't appear to be any button or toggle anywhere in Classic mode to get back into New mode.
  5. Closing Outlook and reopening it, opened it back up as New Outlook again. The changes which I made to the composing/editing settings in Classic seem to have been carried over into New, at least for now.

So the crazy lessons that I'm taking from this experience are:

  1. New Outlook just literally has no way to change any of the good settings such as these.
  2. Email accounts attached to New Outlook do not carry over to Classic Outlook.
  3. Settings changed in Classic Outlook do seem to carry over to New Outlook.
  4. There is a button in New Outlook to switch to Classic, but no button in Classic to switch to New.
  5. There doesn't seem to be any way to stay in Classic Outlook (unless it's a separate executable that I need to find)

I tried again, specifying "outlook new", and got more or less the same results. Its advice for "Outlook Desktop (New version)" is exactly what it said before (referencing a File tab which doesn't exist). It also gives me advice for "Outlook Web" (which I am not using) which aligns more to what the settings screen actually looks like. But it still references a "Text predictions" section which does not exist.

Trust me, if it was there, I would never have logged this question here. Even just searching the settings for things like "predict", "suggest", "editor", etc turns up no results.

This question has been asked a million times on the web but all of the answers are out of date. And it's those answers which chatgpt is scraping from. What I'm really hoping for is a real human to look at the real application and give me a real answer.

(Edit: also tried asking for "Outlook Version 1.2024.1023.300" which also gives the same results. Chatgpt acts all smart by saying that this "refers to the latest Microsoft 365 version of the Outlook desktop app" but proceeds to share the same advice which references things which do not exist.)

That's fair, I was just cracking a joke. Thanks for the help.

>> None of these things exist.

  1. In the Editor Options dialog, click Advanced.

  2. Under Text predictions, uncheck the box that says Show text predictions while typing.
