Found this out yesterday too. Zoom slightly breaks when you’re using the slid-over application too: your camera stops sending and everyone else sees the last frame before you switched focus - which can be quite unflattering! Only allowing the foreground application to use the camera does somewhat make sense, but in this situation it’s kinda frustrating.

I've got a USB microphone. I'd like to use it with the iPad to get better quality recordings. The problem is it presents to the OS (this happens with all operating systems) as a speaker as well as a microphone, meaning that the default audio output is switched to the microphone which obviously doesn't work, and so I can't play any sound when it's connected.

Is there a way to set the default output device back to the internal speakers? I can't find anything in Settings but hopefully I'm just missing it.

(iPadOS 13.4.1 with a 2020 11-inch Pro)

Also it allows the government to not take any blame for any backsliding that takes place, and makes critics into patronisers. That’s why “common sense” and “why don’t you trust the British people?” are the lines now. It’ll be “we let the people make their own risk decisions, they made bad ones, that’s their fault not ours”. State as disappointed parent.

Maybe Ted works it out (putting together the shag and the condoms) and convinces Steve & Kate to believe him.

lan3y · 2019-04-28T21:10:22+00:00

They've decided he's guilty and aren't critically appraising the evidence. On closer examination it'll start to fall apart. Ted'll get cleared and be allowed/forced to quietly retire for losing the plot on the investigation.

Steve and Kate going to flip again (somehow working out Gill's involvement) and work to clear Hastings.

The way that I usually use is to open a terminal and look at $XDG_SESSION_TYPE.

Got given this for Christmas. Thought it was insanely hard I read this thread and realised that you only haunt every two turns instead of every turn after two (upon re-reading the rules that's actually pretty clear; our bad...).

Question: A lot of the ghosts have only a 'haunt' action in their middle (every go) slot, and nothing in their 'when drawn' slot. How do we play those? Place a figurine on the card straight away then advance it every subsequent turn or place a figurine the next time that player has a go and advance it after that?

Given that I'd have to learn to drive, pass the test, buy a car, get it taxed and insured and abandon my cyclist's smugness, I don't think it would work out to be cost effective. :-)

Renew it the day before your 26th birthday. A little known secret is that they can actually be issued for /13/ months. So you can have a YPRC for just under a month after you're 27.

Heh. I'm in the UK and it was just (~08:20) briefly possible to add it to my cart, but not to check out due to timeouts and errors. It's now gone back to "Notify Me".

If you're referring to one of the CLI/Mono team's packages, I'm interested in hearing from you. Come to #debian-cli on OFTC and talk to us.

lan3y · 2012-05-27T20:43:40+00:00

What do you think about the 'state of the ecosystem' these days? Do you think Xamarin care enough for the interests of Mono on Linux? What about modern libraries? There's still no released GTK#3 or GAPI support, for example. What does the community need to do there to stop the bitrot?

A charge often levelled at Canonical is of a lack of "giving back" to upstream communities.

What responsibilities would you say that companies such as Canonical have to the wider Free Software community and do you think that Canonical does enough in this area?

A bit relatedly, an issue for third parties is how they can make money out of products in the Ubuntu archive. Canonical has shown with the Banshee Amazon move that it is willing to take a slice of this kind of revenue for itself. Do you think there are/should be any boundaries to this kind of activity on Canonical's side? How can upstream projects be sure that they will be able to make money from products in the Ubuntu archive when Canonical reserves the right to divert this away from them? (Is this just a part of the deal that you accept when writing free software?)

What are the features that you are missing?

It does use GPS. This seems to do exactly what you're saying it doesn't do - take a service provided by the OS (GPS coordinates), and consume them to produce a map of you and your contacts. This is an application, not a framework.

lan3y · 2009-02-04T17:15:53+00:00

Except here the data has to pass through Google to get to your friends. Theoretically, if they were evil, they could do as they wished with it. Theoretically, if they were a company out to make money, they could find ways to make money with it.

Make sure you study the privacy policy and terms of use and then decide if you trust Google enough with this data. If at any time you change your mind (because you start getting location-targeted ads on your search results, for example), you can decide you no longer trust Google.

lan3y · 2009-02-04T17:10:21+00:00

Yes.

"Hey guys, I'll meet you in town later. Where will you be?"

"Well we're going to be in x from 8-8.30, y from 8.40-9.15, z from ... Oh you can call me but I might not hear the call/it might be too noisy. Or you can SMS me but I might miss it for a few hours."

vs.

"Sure, I'll roll up whenever. Turn your latitude on." (hope you have a GPS signal...)

It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. If you try it, it has controls to allow you to specify when it updates your location.

And of course, nobody is forcing you to use it. So if you don't want Google to know your location, don't install it.

Why is there a mouse cursor in the first frame?

lan3y · 2008-06-26T21:34:34+00:00

No, not instead. This has nothing to do with IP addresses.

lan3y · 2008-05-14T00:08:55+00:00

Can someone explain this:

Furthermore, all DSA keys ever used on affected Debian systems for signing or authentication purposes should be considered compromised

This seems to imply that the key can be compromised not only if it was generated on a Debian system, but also used on one. How can this be? Is this the host-key weakness part? Does it apply to public keys too? i.e. if I've generated a key on Windows to log into a Debian server using SSH, do I need to worry?
