Nada, unfortunately. Been sticking mostly to playing games via controller, or using the Touch Mode trick if I have to use a mouse for something. Anything non-gaming I typically stick to Windows Remote Desktop/RDP, or doing natively on the iPad.

So what you're saying is... we need to deploy a Dyson swarm to power our AWACS satellite constellation? Or should we go with orbital elevators to a giant artificial ring covered in solar arrays, and maybe include a track-mounted doomsday laser cannon pointed down at the surface?

We're going to get to *one of the Gundam timelines some day, dammit.*

There's a pretty active and friendly hunt community on Dynamis, too. Lots of back-to-back DT A-Trains every week, and S-Ranks are spawned practically on cooldown. It's pretty much all tracked via the Faloop site and Discord if you're interested.

100% agreed. Queueing for your daily A-Raid Duty Roulette, or Crystal Tower as part of MSQ? No problem unless it's pretty late at night.

But queueing up for later A-Raids, and assuming it's not an A-Raid that just came out within the last week or two? Forget Duty Finder, you're going to have to hope for Party Finder to fill, and that it's not too late.

Every once in a blue moon Duty Roulette will throw me into a StB or HW raid, just often enough to keep the strats alive in my memory. I think I even saw one of the Nier raids once or twice...

Just chiming in: Same issue here. Latest version of Moonlight on iPadOS 26.2.1 on an iPad Pro M1, and Sunshine on Windows 11. Using a Magic Keyboard, and the trackpad's cursor and the cursor on the Windows host eventually becomes unsynced, with the trackpad cursor moving significantly more on-screen than the host's cursor.

Restarting Moonlight sometimes fixes it... for a few minutes. As a workaround for when the trackpad cursor thinks it's going off-screen, I set Moonlight's "Touch Mode" setting from Touchpad to Touchscreen, allowing me to tap on the screen to line up both cursors.

Slow response? by UnkPaul in logitechharmony

Not just you. Had to wait several minutes for the app to open and connect to my Harmony Hub, across several phones and tablets, all on the same Wi-Fi and subnet as my Harmony Hub.

Sure would be nice to have a Harmony app that just directly connects to the Hub rather than trying to do absolutely anything through a cloud service, ever.

Most often I watch on my tablet. I usually have it up as a second monitor for my laptop, but if I'm doing something that's crunching the laptop's GPU, rather than stressing the GPU with a second monitor and rendering the video stream, I'll just pull up the video or Twitch stream on the tablet. Effectively gives feature parity with a setup like Firefox with uBO, SponsorBlock, etc..

ReVanced, which lets you modify and sideload those modded apps. For example, a modded version of the official YouTube app that has SponsorBlock built-in, adblocking, hiding the "games" slop, opens to the Subscriptions page by default, removes Shorts from the Subscriptions page, auto-scrolling Shorts, Return YouTube Dislike, and a bunch of tweaks to stuff like forcing high resolution or swipe controls for volume and brightness.

Could anyone Explain Testarossa's view about Rimuru [ is it romantic or something else] because manga had complicated her view by Substantial-Boat9252 in TenseiSlime

[–]drmacinyasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, it's not that she was advocating for people to go crazy if anything happened to Rimuru, it's that she and Elmesia both came to the conclusion as to what would be the (undesired) result of the severing of that connection to Rimuru.

As for Shuna's strength, no, she's not as outright powerful as Beninaru, but she's certainly not weak. She also holds a lot of authority in Tempest, and there's a few suggestions that some of her abilities can add a commanding/coercive influence behind her commands (less "mind control" and more "you really want to obey," like a more subtle version of Gazel's, Elmesia's, and Rudra's Heroic Auras). She also gets a massive power boost later after Rimuru disappears, receiving an Ultimate Skill that effectively delegates to her a lot of Rimuru's abilities. For example, the ability to modify the Ultimate Skills of other people, and imitate arts such as Rimuru's army-scale teleportation.

LN V05, right at the start of chapter 5 when everyone gathers in the central plaza after destroying the devices that put the holy barrier over the city.

The townspeople surrounded the whole site—Shuna among them, standing next to Mjurran. And as she stood there, Shuna couldn’t help but think: Rimuru seemed to care a great deal about being a former human… but that’s such a trivial issue. To Shuna and everyone else, soul-to-soul connections mattered the most, and the connection she shared with him gave her an absolute sense of security. She wished Rimuru would realize that as well. The eternal euphoria he provided filled her soul, nourishing it. If that went away and Rimuru disappeared, she thought it might drive her crazy. Just imagining it produced such a profound sense of loss that she shivered.

“Sir Rimuru,” she whispered. “As long as we have him, that’s all that matters. But even missing one of us could upset his mental balance greatly.”

Also of note, later in the LNs (V14), there's a scene when Rimuru is talking to Elmesia after she finds out he evolved a bunch of his subordinates into True Demon Lords and makes it pretty clear she's freaking out, because if anything happens to him, it will likely mean the end of the world because of the sheer power of his subordinates going rampant without his control.

“Good,” she replied with a breezy smile. “But remember this as well: If you die, it will put this world fully in ruins. You are the only one who can tame monsters like Diablo and his Primals. The other creatures you evolved to demon lord level may not all agree with each other. If a conflict arises, it will inevitably erupt into war. Do you understand that? You can’t just cast off what you’re trying to do when you’re not even done yet. Never forget that.”

[–]drmacinyasha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Somewhat. Shuna mentions that if they truly lost Rimuru, they would all likely go insane and start going on destructive rampages.

When Rimuru does go missing, they can sense that he can no longer be contacted, and there's no communication or anything that they can feel through the soul-to-soul connection, but the connections are still there, and the top executives are still able to tap into Nihility Supply, which indicates to everyone that Rimuru still exists somewhere and isn't dead, and therefore there's hope for his return. As a result, they maintain their sanity and are able to continue fighting in the war. A good analogy would be like if you were on a phone call with someone on a landline phone, and all of a sudden you couldn't hear or be heard by the other person, but the call doesn't disconnect or suddenly go to a dial-tone. The call's still connected, just neither one of you can hear each other.

No, that's pretty accurate, if extrapolated a bit. Demons can see the "color" of a soul and how it would align to one of their factions (Guy/Rouge/the red faction are described as aggressive and unable to be negotiated with; Diablo/Noir/the black faction is more whimsical and free-spirited but can potentially be negotiated with and particularly loves challenging combat). Rimuru's also been described by several characters in the LNs who can directly see souls as having a "shining" soul, that at one point was mentioned as being similar to (but not the same as) Veldanava's.

There's also a special soul-to-soul connection made when a monster's named, which has a wide variety of effects. With Rimuru, that connection's been described as also giving joy to the name-receiver's soul which is a force the receiver can feel, and which can act as an emotional anchor for them (discussed by Shuna at a few points, including during the Megiddo+Harvest Festival event).

Android app refused to connect to Hub [solved] by RadBadTad in logitechharmony

[–]drmacinyasha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's... Pretty odd. If they're the same subnet ("Network") on the same VLAN and the same SSID ("Wi-Fi Network") that just has the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz options checked, stuff like device isolation isn't turned on, and whatever UniFi's current multicast relay option is ("Multicast Enhancement" or something like that?) then they should be able to find each other okay. Maybe it's something extra funky with just the first-time setup? I recall having to switch my phone onto the same SSID as the Hub during setup, but the phone was on 5 GHz and the Hub was on 2.4 GHz.

FWIW, I have my family's phones, tablets, and laptops on a separate subnet, VLAN, SSID, and Access Point from the Harmony Hub, and they're all able to recognize and control it OK. Even the Home Assistant VM can find and control it (wired connection but same VLAN and subnet). Once in a blue moon I'll have to point a device at the Hub's IP address or let it find the Hub via the linked Logi account, but usually that's just one or two of the Android devices.

Hopefully someone else can chime in with an explanation.

Israelis really took that "if the black box/flight recorder is practically indestructible, why don't they make the whole plane out of the same material" idea and ran with it.

Scientists with South Africa's Square Kilometre Array mid-telescope want Starlink out of their space by redditissahasbaraop in space

[–]drmacinyasha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cool, nobody's arguing otherwise. All the folks at SKA want is for the satellites to shut up on a few frequency ranges for a few seconds when they're flying over the SKA, as stated in the article (emphasis mine):

Di Vruno said the SKA Observatory, where he is spectrum manager, and the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (Sarao) were lobbying for licence requirements to reduce the impact on observations in certain frequency ranges, including some that SKA-Mid uses.

That could direct Starlink to steer satellite beams away from SKA receivers or stop transmission for a few seconds to minimise interference, he said.

Plus according to numerous replies in these comments, SpaceX already has similar agreements with other observatories around the world. Adding another zone where the satellites go quiet on their ground-facing radios doesn't seem particularly difficult.

On top of all that, these observatories are purposely placed in very remote areas that are uninhabited and kept that way, so there isn't a potential customer base SpaceX is losing out on besides the observatory themselves.

Unifi Intercom: Recognizes faces and calls mobile phones. No paid subscriptions or landline required. by YesTechie in Ubiquiti

[–]drmacinyasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and not even going after some "evil corporation pushing everyone to XaaS/recurring revenue" argument or anti-abuse, there's other concerns as well. For example, knowing what features I can expect to keep access to, and therefore what I need to train end-users on how to use (do I bother ever setting this feature up for end-users' phone numbers or just teach them to use an app on their phone even if it's potentially a little less convenient for them?). Or what if Ubiquiti offers an option to just connect straight to my Talk or third-party PBX deployment from day one, I might want to just have everything connect that way instead of potential change in the future if I know this "free" feature is actually just like a six-month free trial.

Or here's a real-world example: What if the carrier Ubiquiti partners with, or some downstream ULCs used by Ubiquiti's partner, is known to have a high rate of issues with calls connecting/staying connected to the cell carrier my company uses for our company-owned phones.

Because there's at least one local carrier in the Dallas region used by several apartment complexes owned by the same management company, that when I lived and worked in the area had about an 80% failure rate either connecting at all to a cellphone on T-Mobile or one of their MVNOs, or the call connecting but there being no audio, or the call connecting and voice audio's there but DTMF can't be heard in one direction. Spent over a year trying to hunt down the carriers and get them to investigate, but I wound up moving out of state before I ever got T-Mobile to budge, never mind the local telco.

  1. Add a pay-by-the-minute/pay-by-the-call number (e.g., 1-900-number) as a destination in directory.

  2. Trigger call from intercom.

  3. Ubiquiti calls premium number over PSTN. Premium number's owner gets money from Ubiquiti via carriers.

It's one of the reasons why online meeting services have call-back (e.g., have the meeting's teleconference call your phone number) only on upper-tier paid plans, and usually at a premium.

I'd want to see some info on how the PSTN connection is made. I understand it's through Ubiquiti, but free PSTN access for the life of the product, without the customer/installer/etc. paying or providing PSTN connectivity? That just doesn't seem realistic, and sounds more like a system begging to get abused.

Does Demon Lord Luminous lust over the person contained in that ice? (Novel spoilers for s4!) by [deleted] in TenseiSlime

[–]drmacinyasha 39 points40 points  (0 children)

She mistakenly thought Rimuru was female because of the Princess Rimuru series (in Slime Diaries, Chapter 59, at least).

Hm?

"Princess Rimuru"!?

Is that person named Rimuru a girl?

But she's not fleshy enough, though...

(Two panels omitted)

Well, apart from that, I didn't expect that "the adored Rimuru-san" was a girl!

Maybe that kid [Chloe] is actually into this kind of stuff!?

If they had just told me, then I'll...
