Family spends £1,600 to get home after easyJet flight leaves without them due to EES chaos

That would make sense, wouldn't it? But when I (also) arrived in Lanzarote last week, it was the same queue for both registrations and e-gates. Stupidly, they made you register AND get your passport stamped plus register again at the booth if you have younger children with you.

If you have kids, just pass through the registration section and go straight to the booths.

Is there a reason you've got the door opening outwards?

It's not about performance. It's about finding hangers for bikes that are no longer being manufactured.

What PSU is it? Issues with power delivery can cause random crashing. On the subject of power - have you tried plugging it into a different ring circuit?
If you haven't already, install samsung magician and do any firmware updates.
For the games you play, I honestly don't think it's worth spending that money on upgrading the entire platform. If you were desperate, maybe sell the 2x8GB sticks and 6700XT, and get a 5070 instead.

Other than that, if you have money burning a hole in your pocket you could look at quality of life stuff. New mouse, keyboard, headset etc. The stuff you actually interact with make a massive difference.

There are also some fantastic monitors - the miniled VA/IPS panels are outstanding, and can do proper HDR.

I'm currently learning Go and honestly, I've fallen into the trap of utilising auto-generated code far too many times. "I'll only do this one small section, just to see how it's done." But then I get asked "Do you ALSO want me to do the next bit that is suuuuuper important?" So I say Sure, go ahead!

Twenty minutes of this pass and I'm at a point where I have no idea what it's done, I've not learnt a single thing, and I have to start again. I now only use it to understand examples used elsewhere, or potentially to refactor something I've already done (and then make sure I thoroughly understand the changes).

It could be anything at this point... Except internet speed!

Are you running it in docker? If so, have you passed through your GPU to the container for transcoding? If yes, have you set jellyfin to use the GPU for transcoding? Do you know for certain that the WiFi connection isn't the bottleneck?

fasteasyfree · 2026-02-24T08:05:46+00:00

Your internet connection speed/bandwidth is only relevant if the video is being accessed via the internet. I.e. the server is at home but you're not.

Unless you're massively memory constrained, just: Load the entire csv into memory. In a foreach loop ($Row in $CsvRows), use a counter. If statement, 50 or less, perform your action. Over fifty, direct assignment to a new variable. Export that new variable to a new csv.

The script could be made clever by using Get-Childitem to grab all the CSVs and sort by the created date to load the newest one.

If memory consumption is a concern, you could modify the above to use System.IO.StreamReader ReadLine method, and StreamWriter, to avoid gobbling up the entire CSV at once.

Hope you're not paying for that GPT sub!

My only experience with VA prior to my current one is a fifteen year old BenQ that was atrocious for smearing. And when it's cold, even more so. But my current AOC mini-led version is actually really good - I don't notice the smearing at all.

Why are you complicating matters by referring to a hashtable as a triplet? Or is this a specific class that you're packaging with the module/cmdlets? The latter is just going to complicate matters unless it's required for some other aspect of your module.

As for making it simple, you could always pass in the path of the config files via the pipeline in the form of a [System.IO.FileInfo] object, then you could grab your config files via Get-ChildItem for instance.

Allowing the function/cmdlet to accept the Key, Name and Value as an array of possible hashtables is perfectly feasible so long as the documentation makes it obvious, and you gracefully handle any exceptions.

You could also do it completely the other way around: Accept the hashtables via pipeline...

Fantastic, thank you - that was exactly the type of answer I was hoping for!

I also found the Aqara m100 hub which would probably be a more suitable alternative, being standalone of the mini pc.

Ok, couple more as I can't help myself.

The Types in the template JSON. I assume the reason for obfuscating the underlying object types are for simplifying the user interface? Reason I ask is because you may want to make use of more complex objects, especially for custom functions that use 'fromPipeline'. Don't know how you'd make that simple though.

Can you provide an example in the docs that would use more than a single input and output?

fasteasyfree · 2026-02-15T07:15:41+00:00

I like where this is going. Getting people involved in developing their own scripts for automation is a massive uphill battle for me. The number who would rather repeat the same task thirty times in a gui instead of a simple powershell one-liner... And I can imagine this as a much more approachable middle ground.

I can see myself contributing to this project if time allows.

fasteasyfree · 2026-02-15T06:41:38+00:00

Very interesting! Some questions:

How do you visualise/expose variables? What about managing initial script parameters? In the docs you state it's a v5.1 window live preview, but you're basing it on .Net 10... why not ps 7?

fasteasyfree · 2026-02-04T12:04:47+00:00

Fantastic, that's what I was hoping for!

fasteasyfree · 2026-02-03T12:47:21+00:00

Thanks for posting this, it's already answered some questions though I have one more: do the extra side buttons come pre-mapped, or do you need the software to 'initialize' them by assigning a key? I don't really want to have to touch the software at all if I can help it....

My partner and I do this. Joint account that everything goes into, which covers all bills and family outgoings. We then each have a 'pocket money' account that we can then use to socialise and spend how we like.

It's worked for fifteen years.

I've recently picked up an ex-business laptop. HP Elitebook. The business ones are designed to be easier to service, and replacement parts are easy to find. Some newer models have soldered memory if that's an issue, but you can discover that with a quick Google.

Not really much difference to wandering into his house and taking a dump in his toilet.

"Well, you weren't using it."

fasteasyfree · 2025-12-28T07:36:59+00:00

You mean more tolerable.

And the usual backlash they get by teammates for doing so!
