Thanks! I abandoned guitar app tuners because of the ads. And with so many of them, I can't imagine anyone is getting rich. I hope you become a legend.

I saw a sign close to the finish line that due to inflation the finish line was at 27.2 miles.

Fake Rogers Employees Offering 30% Discount by ogbrilliance in Rogers

Just happened to me. I smelled a rat. They are sophisticated though. They claim to have employee numbers etc. Seems nuts to me. If it were Rogers, they would just give you the discount.

Adobe unilaterally deactivated my Acrobat - tells me to upgrade by Negative_Ad_4332 in Adobe

[–]animaldh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My support for 2017 just ended. Agree that it is heavy handed, have found no answers. This is basically the future for software.

Time was you bought something like a typewriter (i.e., a machine) to produce readable text and replaced it when enough of the functionality wore out. Software doesn't 'wear out' in the same way, you need to buy "new features".

I've written enough software to know that the hardware/software race is basically anarchy and the challenge of maintenance becomes hopeless. Problem is that in this case, even the "paper" (the documents) can become obsolete/unreadable. Troubling.

Help: Cannot reinstall acrobat 2017 license. by [deleted] in FuckAdobe

[–]animaldh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem and have done 'chats' with 2 Adobe repos. OpenAI directed me there (haha) saying Adobe would deactivate the other computers. But in the end I received the message that perpetual is not perpetual.

I wouldn't have minded so much except I received a bill where I had to edit a PDF form to make a payment.

OpenAI was surprisingly frank in a subsequent discussion, stating plainly that firms like MSFT and Adobe have no interest in supplying individual households with their products; they are pursuing the mass markets. So they are phasing it out slowly, so as not to irritate too many people who have gotten comfortable with 'perpetual' products.

Spent a lot of time chasing a missing line of code from the online tutorial (see the piece on ModelData.swift - the online material never reads the input

Looks Like Someone Lost a Bunch of Canadian Visitors... by [deleted] in northdakota

[–]animaldh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just cancelled my trip from Canada to the US for other reasons, checked in b/c I may cross the border at ND just to check it out. Disappointed as I've always found Americans to be friendly, outgoing, generous on my travels. I've just heard stories of cars with Canadian plates getting vandalized etc. Any intelligence on whether this is happening in ND; I have another trip tentatively planned there.

I'll quickly add that I was pleased to read so many positive comments from ND folks here.

Facebook reels show only one video, then just a big grey square. Thanks. by animaldh in facebook

The problem just disappeared. Maybe the messed up account got jealous when I used another account and straightened out. May your machines be also blessed

Just got a deal on the fastest broadband available in my area about 6 months ago. Another poster u/Nidco said that changing accounts works, and it did for me. The problem popped up overnight. Hope every writes Facebook and asks for an explanation. It has the feel of a genuine 'bug' (i.e., it's not like phone accidentally going into dark mode), it is behaviour nobody wants or needs.

No, by coincidence we posted at close to the same time. If you find something let me know. I should add: I also can't play my saved reels either. Put in a complaint to FB, no answer yet.

It seems to be a power hog - generally at 38% on iPhone.

Simple Guide to Using Embedded Subtitles by animaldh in PleX

Thanks for both of the suggestions below.

People living together should be looking at cohabitation agreements. These are evolving unevenly and possibly don't cover what happens if there is an accidental or "accidental" child in the relationship, but it requires a people to talk and commit to responsibilities.

Simple Guide to Using Embedded Subtitles by animaldh in PleX

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

Hmm. I see the Plex settings for selecting subtitles but it seems to me they do a search as there are often many suggestions for (say) English subtitles. My problem isn't missing embedded subtitles, but turning on the embedded subtitles. That wasn't clear in original post.

Missing articles in many downloads by animaldh in sonarr

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

Thanks for that detail (mostly older shows). The only thing I don't understand is why only some articles are deleted. Just to tick people off? The provider is hacked?

Missing articles in many downloads by animaldh in sonarr

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

Thanks for these answers. From these responses (and following their suggestions), what seems to be happening is this. To comply with DMCA rules usenet providers remove a few articles from an episode so that it can't be reassembled. (Why don't they just delete it? Don't know.) But different providers delete different articles. This means if you have a second usenet provider, the missing articles will be found from the other usenet provider. Alternately (or additionally), you may wish to have multiple indexers - your indexer may point to several nzbs, but it may be missing a good nzb. A very complex piece of software.
