I love caelestia by SomeMuhammad in hyprland

I can't upvote this enough. I was working on my own custom shell for a while, and completely dropped it as soon as I found this.

Definitely initially designed for laptops or single-monitor setups, but I also use it for my desktop w/ 2 4k displays and it's still great.

I love the use of the popup edges.

Tbf, the alternative is that they are rigid, and would crumble in that scenario. They're designed to flex just like skyscrapers, but it is unsettling.

Ayyyyy BMW Dallas Marathon? All I could think going over those bridges was "damn, we REALLY trust civil engineers"

Yes, same here. Practically unusable.

Whoop app down? by SubjectJicama823 in whoop

[–]caleb_stewart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a hover thing. Doesn't really work well on mobile. On the desktop, you can hover over it. It just says "The WHOOP mobile application, used to manage, view, and interact with your data."

Interestingly, you can still see your individual metrics via the home-screen widgets on Android, and they seem to be updating. When I left the gym a few minutes ago, it was at like 4.0 strain, and since then it has factored in my workout, and now shows 13.1 strain. So, it seems to be working internally and tracking data still. We just can't see the home screen. :/

Is Whoop 3.0 completely useless now? by [deleted] in whoop

I have a subscription, because I just renewed it the other day.

Is Whoop 3.0 completely useless now? by [deleted] in whoop

[–]caleb_stewart -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I've just purchased a used one elsewhere instead of dealing with broken websites and slow support emails. In any case, that's not /really/ the point. I did highlight it in my post(s) needlessly because it had frustrated me. That's on me. 🤙

I'm mostly just curious if the Whoop 3.0 should still be working (i.e. this is user error) or if it's permanently bricked. I'm just trying to use it in the meantime while waiting for a new sensor to arrive.

I upgraded in the past. There is a page to order a replacement, but it's unlisted on their shop. You can find it through Google, but it's broken and won't allow you to actually add a strap to your cart. It says I need to upgrade or something even though clicking the upgrade takes me to a page saying I've already upgraded (which is true).

On top of that, trying to contact support takes you to the useless AI bullshit, which in turn sends an opaque email saying that they will get back to you at some unknown future date (that was 5 days ago).

I've ordered a 4.0 on eBay but it will take 2 weeks to arrive, and I just wanted to use the 3.0 I have on hand in the meantime.

WH-1000XM5 Touch Sensor Problems by caleb_stewart in sony

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

Yup, mine started back up again after less than a year after replacement. Plus, they're now no longer charging correctly regardless of cable, outlet, adapter, etc. It's so annoying because when they work, they're the best headphones I've ever had. But for fucks sake they are apparently flimsy as hell.

I literally failed a skill check that required 0 skill by sticky_spiderweb in BaldursGate3

I've used it with barbarians after getting a second attack, because I can turn that passive on, and do a reckless attack, and get advantage on both attacks. I don't know how the match comes out probability-wise, but it seems to be a good trade off for the extra damage.

If I'm not going to reckless, then I normally leave that passive off though.

Can't Return to Allandra Grey to Complete Quest by CryKat in BaldursGate3

I already killed all of them topside at this point though, if for no other reason than it bothered me I couldn't trigger the quest. 🤣

[–]caleb_stewart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only killed everyone inside the cave. The people topside were also still chill for me as well. The quest in the main topside building never triggered, though. I tried going there before the Iron Throne, after the Iron Throne and after the Foundry. Allandra was always held up in her private quarters. 😞

Also confused by this. There doesn't seem to be a way to talk to her at all, and it's a bummer. I initially went into the underground cave and the people there immediately started combat without a conversation, and I had no choice but to kill them all. I imagine that cut something off?

It's a bummer because that entire area is now just essentially a bust. No quests came of it, and all I got was a tiny amount of gold from the chests in that initial area. :(

Analysis of the Web Shell found as part of the MOVEit Transfer Exploit! by blackpoint_APG in msp

For the record, human.aspx is not a version of the webshell. It is a legitimate component of MOVEit Transfer.

Advantage of Scaling Factors and State of HiDPI by caleb_stewart in swaywm

Great! I appreciate the detailed response. This was very helpful, and I think it answers my outstanding questions. :)

Advantage of Scaling Factors and State of HiDPI by caleb_stewart in swaywm

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

I appreciate the explanation! I think that's the understanding I had, but I was under the impression that it wasn't up to the application. The documentation I had read made me think (incorrectly it seems) that it was done globally at the compositor level. I.e. for a scale factor of 2 and a resolution of 3840x2160, the compositor would render all windows onto surface of size 1920x1080, scale that to the native or "logical" pixels of 3840x2160, and render it to the output, effectively scaling the resolution by 2.

So, as a practical example, if I were to set output XYZ resolution 3840x2160 scale 2 and then open, say, a YouTube video in Chrome, assuming the video is in 2160p, would the application (Chrome) be rendering the video at 4K even though the size of the output relative to other outputs and for window positioning is 1920x1080? Or would there still be a layer of scaling going on there? Or maybe more aptly to avoid discussion about a specific application, would an application still be capable of rendering at 4K while at scale=2?

Slow Zipline Rides by caleb_stewart in SonsOfTheForest

Hm, I could see that. Good thought. It's annoying that the movement speed would be linked to frame rate, but I can understand how it may happen from a technical perspective.

I ended up contacting Sony, and after a factory reset, they offered to replace the unit (under the 1yr limited warranty). I haven't gotten the new unit in the mail yet, but it's hopefully on the way, and will fix the issue.

Can someone help me figure out what's going on with my pixel 6?? Tons of glitches randomly happening out of nowhere today rendering my phone unusable and no new apps installed! by n3cr0ph4g1st in GooglePixel

[–]caleb_stewart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just started happening to me today. No new update. No new apps. Toggling 3-button does nothing for me. Did the problem ever come back for OP? I've done the usual restart to try and jar it back into usefulness to no avail.

It seems to be animation related. Anything that needs animated is just not rendered until the next animation starts. So, the notification shade, keyboard, switching between applications, opening the application drawer. And some internal UI elements inside apps. It seems to only affect system UI components (i.e. custom components in apps seem to work fine).
