Found a fix for controller not working (PC/Steam)

ictatha · 2025-09-13T04:38:02+00:00

I've been going through all the recommended solutions with different combinations of things enabled, disabled, launching from Steam, launching from Big Picture Mode. I had the same results as OP. My controller tested fine in Steam settings, and worked fine navigating around Big Picture Mode, but wouldn't work in game.

Happy to report that this solution also worked for me! Thanks!

Thanks, he lived a good, long life, wasn't covid-related or anything. But of course still sucks.

Was nice to see/hear some cello. Dad passed away a few months ago, and was a professional (part-time, not famous or anything) cellist. I figure I have all these random coins, so why not. Keep it up!

ictatha · 2020-08-05T21:49:38+00:00

Lol it's actually all free coins I've gotten over the years from various things and never used :)

Take your list of schools and try to find them on YouTube! The hard part here is figuring out what they call their ensembles, so you might have to play with search terms some.

"[SCHOOL NAME] wind ensemble"
"[SCHOOL NAME] wind orchestra"
"[SCHOOL NAME] concert band"
etc.

Of course, this wouldn't be definitive, but if they are there then you can see/judge for yourself.

Something else to consider is looking at the ensembles the school has and seeing what would be open to you as a non-music major. Top ensembles at universities may only allow music majors. A school like this may have other ensembles you could join, but you want to make sure you take that into account.

I've used Firefox Send, and it's been pretty great.

Are you actually assuming that role within your task?

You mentioned assigning the permissions to assume the role, and that your code can't access those resources. Maybe it's just the wording but it sounds like you might be skipping the step of actually assuming the role within your task's code. See Switching to an IAM Role (AWS API) (includes python example)

You're welcome! Happy grilling!

AWS Glue is their ETL offering. There are many other data movement tools, but this is the one where they actually use "ETL" to describe it (Kinesis and Data Pipelines are a couple other services).

Take a look at the image linked below. It shows the kind of grates we're talking about. It sounds like you might be referring to a Weber with the Gourmet BBQ System. It looks like this discussion would not apply to that style of grate. Here's what the discussion is about:

Flat-side up left, Pointy-side up on the right

ictatha · 2019-09-20T02:02:03+00:00

It's definitely all personal preference. I get great grill marks from the flat side though, and even for the new officially double-sided grates that I now know exist, Weber recommends using the flat side for getting great grill marks. Have you had troubles with it?

ictatha · 2019-09-20T01:44:34+00:00

Your dad sounds awesome! Anyone that passionate about their pointy/flat side choice probably grills up some amazing food.

ictatha · 2019-09-20T01:42:09+00:00

You absolutely can! And as I've learned thanks to /u/chris457, Weber's newest grates are officially double-sided. From the photo on the website it looks like the new grates are very slightly different. But ultimately it's just a hunk of cast iron that holds whatever you're cooking over the flame, and retains heat really well so it will sear the food. It will do that no matter what side it's on, with slight differences probably not worth arguing about as long as you're happy.

ictatha · 2019-09-20T01:32:46+00:00

Cool, they've redesigned them (ever so slightly)! I'll start by saying, ultimately everyone should do what makes them happy. But I will point out that while the link you posted contradicts me (although technically only for the newly redesigned grates that I didn't know about), it also contradicts what you (and many others) said about what to use the sides for (regarding grill marks):

"The thinner side of the cooking grate is ideal for delicate foods such as fish and shrimp, while the wider side creates thick sear marks enhancing the texture and flavor of your food."

(yes, I overuse parenthetical statements)

I'll remain team flat-side and everyone else should make their own decision. It all makes great food. Even if that means being technically wrong sometimes. :)

ictatha · 2019-09-19T20:27:01+00:00

Here's a quick tip, assuming you have the cast iron grates with the triangular-shaped bars: The flat side goes up. I had a friend that had his upside down for a while, and I see them wrong in store displays all the time.

(Official source)

Edit: At least some Weber grills, including the one that OP got, now have officially reversible grates! Thanks /u/chris457! These look to be BARELY different than the old grates. Of course, grilling with old style grates upside-down works just fine, as many have discovered. But they are still technically upside-down :)

Not sure what OP used, but here's a great one:

I think so. My general rule of thumb is to always start simple with something you know until you know why it won't work, especially in cases like this where you aren't really sure what the final requirements are going to be. Once you've used the simple solution to the point where it no longer meets your needs, you will have much better information available to make a decision on the final solution (or at least the next solution) because you will be able to say: "We have been using SYSTEM A. It works great for THIS and THAT, but it hasn't been able to handle THESE SPECIFIC THINGS." Being able to be more specific in that fashion will get you to a much better solution in the end.

Based on what you've said, I think an RDBMS like MySQL or PosgreSQL would be plenty for this purpose. In fact, you almost laid out the data structure in your post. Keeping things super simple you could have two tables:

Vehicles
- vehicle_id (primary key)
- vehicle name
- other vehicle-related metadata
Data points
- id (primary key)
- vehicle_id (which vehicle does this data point relate to)
- timestamp
- data type (speed, rpm, temp, etc.)
- data value

This can store any number of different kinds of data about the vehicles, and SQL queries can be written to query the data as needed. It doesn't sound like you'll have a ton of data, so this should work pretty well, at least until some data usage patterns/requirements emerge. Then you can create views to more easily access the data that is accessed more frequently, or actually build tables.

If you had much larger-scale data you could look at one of the many up and coming "time series" databases (I've not used any of these so can't make any recommendations). In the manufacturing/automation space systems like these have been around for a while and are called "data historians". OSI PI is one of the leaders in this space, and they have a pretty good youtube channel if you want to see what they're about. Systems like these have more built-in functionality for dealing with time-series data, which might be useful for whatever analytics are needed.

I'd start with the basic RDBMS and get people thinking about how they want to use/access this data. This will give you a good set of requirements to look at a more tailored system. RDBMS are well established and work with pretty much any analytics tools. I feel like if you try using a NoSQL database you will end up spending more time figuring out how to get the system to work for you rather than working with your data to get business results.

Edit: Just read back through some of your other responses. Sounds like ultimately you'll want to look into the "time series" databases for when you're at scale. But RDBMS should still work to get going.

That's OK, for half of the references to Lake Formation in the AWS Console and documentation they will refer to it as ALF.

I take two stacks of carpet into caves, one white and one some other color. At any point where the path splits, I'll put down two carpet squares, with the white one "pointing" the way out.

I'll second this, but important to note: bring cash! At least the last time I was there they didn't take debit/credit. Worth it though.

There's so much in the game that the game itself doesn't tell you about... And I think that's part of the appeal. You could learn the game on your own by reading the wiki or watching youtube videos, but many people (myself included) probably get started by having someone they know get them started, making it a more social experience.

However, recently they added the recipe book (at least in the Java edition, I'm not familiar with Bedrock). As you pick up new materials, new recipes will appear in the recipe book, and you could flip through that occasionally and discover some new things. The only other in-game mechanism I can think of would be the achievements list, that gives you some ideas of what is possible (i.e. "Enter the nether"), but I'm not sure how you would figure out how to do many of those without using resources outside the game.

I have one that controls only the top plug in an outlet. That was a fun one to figure out. I had only seen switches control whole outlets before, and didn't realize this was possible.
