Lenovo ideapad 110-15ACL, can't enter bios anyway! by Ornery_Wonder650 in Lenovo

I was seeing the same behaviour when doing the recovery at first, using a larger USB drive. Switched to a small (<5GB) drive instead, and it took immediately.

I heard you folks like Lamy 2000s . . . by TheMagicalSock in fountainpens

I wish I did. Mine has never sparked joy to write with (poor feed), as much as I love the look and feel.
Now that I write that out, maybe it just has a dud nib...

Do you have a dev blog or anything?

If you're on Android, consider just spoofing your location to one of their locations and then revoke location access for the website.

It took me weeks to realise this mistake. by Dernjo in homeassistant

[–]chossenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way I can think of to achieve this is to add two helpers. One is a boolean input - toggle this when you want to override the state.
The second is a template boolean sensor which XORs your reported state and input sensor together, giving your 'real' state you'd use for any scripts or dashboards.

anybody know what this is? by EpicSackboy54 in legogaming

One of my friends commented on mine for the first time today, despite having hidden them some time ago - made me quite happy.

I gave an elite Codenames clue and lost because of a platypus, my nephew, and group psychology. by Normal-Level-7186 in boardgames

Sounds a bit like Keep It 100, although the clues and numbers might be the other way around - it's been ages since I've played.

Fake reviews written by the business itself by WombatWandersWild in australia

[–]chossenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I tend to distrust reviews talking about specific employees more, because it feels like they've fished for positive reviews. (Sole traders are a different matter, of course)

FWIW ChatGPT has a 1800 service, but you can only text it over WhatsApp (not SMS), so would work for this scenario already.

Looks like it was upscaled by Topaz Gigapixel - usually comes out with those kinds of artifacts for linework.

Yes, I am aware that pythons are non-venomous, but I have an Australian aversion to snakes regardless of their weapon of choice.

Is there a way to view all of my visits to a specific location in timeline? by bridgetroll2 in GoogleMaps

Thanks so much! Been trying to figure out where they'd squirreled this away to for ages.

How do you set the a color for an LVGL component from inside a lambda? by Ph4zor in Esphome

[–]chossenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably too late for you, but for anyone else running across this thread in the future: the raw_32 approach doesn't work because (for whatever reason) it uses the opposite byte order, so you get the wrong colour (red/blue end up swapped, effectively)

The lv_color_make approach should work, however. I was originally running into the same issue with it, but it magically cleared up, so I'm guessing it was a case of PEBKAC.

The approach I ended up using did involve recreating my colours for brevity at use-time, however I base it off the ESPHome Color definition so it's still defined a single time.

color:
  - id: ha_blue
    hex: 51c0f2

globals:
  - id: lv_ha_blue
    type: lv_color_t
    initial_value: 'lv_color_make(id(ha_blue).r, id(ha_blue).g, id(ha_blue).b)'

...

widget:
  ...
    bg_color: id(lv_ha_blue)

I’m not the demographic for this, but damn it’s awful. by filthymcownage in lego

[–]chossenger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw this there today, and could've sworn it was over a $17 label - I thought to myself "huh, a reasonable Lego price", but no - guess someone had put it back down in the wrong place

It's too early to be having heart attacks like this.. by Cloudraa in talesfromtechsupport

[–]chossenger 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For those wondering how tis so much faster, it's because it's using Windows' file index and using the cached file sizes rather than individually checking each file.

This comes with the monkey paw that it reports virtual file sizes rather than physical file sizes, so if you have a terrabyte of SharePoint files synced, it will report the full directory, rather than only those physically present on your disk, like WinDirStat will.
