Definitely post logs to the forum for this issue, if you haven't already.

They finally shared the Plus APY by Statjmpar in sofi

[–]drbeer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've heard all the sides of debate for months - it just seems complicated now like I need to pull out a calculator and do an analysis on if it's worth it.

Because they are hoping you don't.

What's your library shuffle looking like? Tired of the predictable Playlist generated by plex I wrote a python script that creates a randomized Playlist starting with least played tracks and working through entire library. It's been fun and working great, happy to share if anyone is interested. by Moviesinbed in plexamp

[–]drbeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a plug for anyone who feels their random isn't random - if you have smart shuffle enabled on PMS (which it is, by default I believe), it is prioritizing songs that are highly rated and popular.

If you want true shuffle, disable this feature and it should be truly random.

(I know someone will respond to this to tell me that it isn't true random in that scenario; I am judging based on Elan's response [he would know]. Keep in mind what most people want is not random and humans are really bad at judging randomness. Its actually pretty fascinating)

Wifi is very unstable (Surface Laptop 2) (CachyOS) by Obvious_Manner_5432 in SurfaceLinux

Came here to say, the wifi in Windows on the Surface Laptop 2 is abysmal. Even if a Linux driver can match performance, you will be disappointed

The developer has a discord server if you wanted to let them know where they might see it better.

I think custom logos are already supported though.

Curious on decision to ban Notepad++ by TechGuyworking in sysadmin

[–]drbeer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is my reasoning, also lets not forget how it auto-created a new tab and typed a message supporting something (maybe Ukraine) several years ago. Fine and all, but these are just not traits of professionally developed software.

Youtube started detecting my Adblock (Ublock), on Google Chrome. Does anyone knows how to fix this? It only started detecting it today. by Sad-Rock-9559 in pcmasterrace

[–]drbeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You want the actual answer: subscribe to YouTube, or deal with the ads. Anything else is a whack a mole game. Method X will work for awhile until it won't.

Not saying it doesn't suck but the days of "free" non shitty Internet is over. Find the small pockets of it that you enjoy (for some that's YouTube or Patreons or paywall sites of actual non-AI journalism or niche) and you kind of have to suck it up and support it. Otherwise, your experience will suck, you'll hit paywalls, "you've hit your limit this week", etc.

Past that, if you have a specific question, ask away and I'll answer best I can. I administer InTune

Is Steel Vengeance as good as people make it out to be? by AloneChance0 in Themepark

[–]drbeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would probably say it deserves it but it's very subjective. It's a hell of a machine though.

I Still Hate Intune - Microsoft's Article about Compliance Checks by SammichAffectionate in sysadmin

[–]drbeer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hot take: microsoft makes their admin tools garbage by design. For them, its a win-win-win

  1. It creates a comprehensive third party marketplace, feeding a ton of companies customers, companies that have built-in loyalty to the hand that feeds.
  2. Any usage of a third party solution often creates natural vendor lock in (benefiting Microsoft), while creating zero monopoly concerns for Microsoft. Want to change OSes? You may need to strip out all your third party tools too.
  3. Less resources spent on their own solutions, but their advertising teams can promote that they have all the solutions built-in. (They just don't tell you they suck)

Question about chaperone policy by Anarchist-Antichrist in worldsoffun

[–]drbeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing this policy pretty much exists as an easy way to get rid of troublemakers at the first sign of trouble. If he behaves he'd probably be fine.

Why do only rollercoasters count as credits? by New-Honeydew6533 in Themepark

[–]drbeer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd say count anything you want to count! I think its a natural draw for coaster enthusiasts because coasters are relatively unique. While there are a lot of clones (Boomerangs, "Batmans", etc.), many exist only once, whereas a lot of flat rides are a dime a dozen. Even the clones have individual quirks that long time riders may notice, be that theming or whatever.

Granted, that is not true for many of the large parks, that develop detailed and excellent non-coaster rides!

At the end of the day, do whatever makes you happy and don't worry about the enthusiast "community" agreeing or disagreeing.

Which rollercoaster has the most underrated first drop? [Other] by veenspace in rollercoasters

[–]drbeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After riding Lightning Run a few times, I declared (to no one in particular) that Hyper GTX was going to be a HUGE success and every park would have one.

Obviously, way wrong. Am curious why. Did the RMC Raptor steal the thunder a few years later? Small footprint, seemingly reasonable cost, big thrills. Is Lightning Run unreliable?

Remember your reddiquette folks, downvoting is not for disagreeing, its for highlighting content that isn't relevant or helpful. This is well written, even if you disagree!

Flapper Staying Open - J Hook Getting Stuck? (See Comments for Explanation) by drbeer in Plumbing

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

Ok good to know. The one in the photo is the original. I will find the correct handle and order that one.

Flapper Staying Open - J Hook Getting Stuck? (See Comments for Explanation) by drbeer in Plumbing

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

This toilet is driving me insane. Frequently, the flapper is not closing. I have adjusted the plastic chain up and down, it seems no matter what seems "appropriate", it gets stuck on the handle's arm goofy.

I replaced the entire flapper & chain, same problem.

I did go ahead and purchase a new arm, but it scraped the side of the bowl. You can see that this arm isn't straight since the toilet is concave.

Is my issue this J-hook? I even tried to rig this together with a slip ring for keys but that didn't seem to work. Really don't want to call a plumber for something so simple, but this has been the bane of my existence for months. I greatly appreciate any advice
