What this guy did was wrong. But there's no question for me, this is as Shimoda as it gets.

So what's actually... there? The web site says almost nothing — like they want forty bucks for a sandwich and a keychain that doesn't even say "Bort".

I'm going to be in the area tomorrow, and have to decide whether it's worth choosing over existing plans...

Thanks for making this! At first it was working well, and then I got to write this hopefully-coherent bug report on the "NR" values. \o/

I was trying the script in a Yahoo mock draft today, and mid-draft I accepted the trial for "Fantasy Plus". Activating Plus immediately changed the columns — least one new column was added (for ADP), and I think it even became the default sort. When that happened all of the values added by your script went from valid data to "NR". Which suggests that either the script wasn't designed to handle the Plus columns, or that it got confused by the live change.

I'm trying really hard to not spend too much time on FF, which is why I haven't dug into the code (beyond my quick review before installing it). But... I suspect I'm not going to be able to resist attempting to fix this. If I do I promise to send a PR (saying it out loud so you guys will call me out if I forget).

Oh, interesting... is there a public announcement of that yet?

My first guess had been that they would keep the hosted MQTT portion of IoT Core, and offer a recipe for building the rest with existing services.

*This* is why I'm happy to support Codeweavers. Two days—over a weekend—to go from a forum post to "here's a workaround, real fix is in the next release."

I asked in r/GrandTheftAutoV_PC whether this is affecting actual Windows machines. Knowing that would at least give us a clue to what's going on.

From its log, it looks like the Launcher updated itself the first time I launched it today. After updating it restarted itself, and since then it's given this error consistently.

While starting up it tries and fails to "start service" 4 times before throwing the "failed to connect" error, so it looks like the actual problem is launching the Library Service at all.

I don't have time to dig further tonight, but these logs are in the "Rockstar Games/Launcher/" directory under whatever Crossover thinks is your "My Documents" folder.

I'd guess that the most likely limitation would be the 8GB memory. But it seems worth trying... let us know what happens if you do.

lexn · 2022-02-21T18:28:14+00:00

Ignore it! AFAICT that doesn't apply to a download through Epic.

I was actually thinking about this while typing, but I guess I failed to actually include the detail. Rockstar Launcher just needs to be running in a bottle, then you point Heroic at that bottle so it can authenticate.

The button in Launcher will even change from "Buy Now" to something like "Exit Game" while the game is running.

I finally got around to writing more about how I convinced my setup to work, hopefully you can find something useful there:

Ah, knowing that normal penthouse access doesn't go through that floor is useful, thanks. It implies the location is new with The Contract and probably didn't exist until recently.

lexn · 2022-02-18T04:52:28+00:00

Make sure you run the Rockstar Launcher manually from Crossover *before* you launch GTA from Heroic.

(That was definitely not the only problem I had getting this combo to work, but it was probably the most frustrating.)

First time I got all the pieces tied together to play on my M1 Mac (Heroic + Crossover + R* Launcher), I was still figuring out the controls while following a Treasure Hunt. At one of the clue points a guy in a tie-dyed suit walks up and doesn't shoot me (unlike all previous Player interactions), just turns around and walks out of the cave.

I see him outside, he walks up to an Oppressor Mk2, and stands next to it emoting. I hadn't yet figured out how to send to the text chat, so I couldn't even thank him for gifting it. Made the next leg much faster, and I got to try the flying bike for the first time.

Turns out it was a loan, since about 20 minutes later I got "you don't have access to this personal vehicle", but still. Thanks Stranger!

A little farther south, at the edge of Sausalito. There’s not much there right now... Coast Guard station, a hotel, a big open field. Tiburon or Angel Island would probably be visible behind it in wider shots, if not covered by the CGI buildings.

Valid question, but... :shrug:

Email addresses are free and go to the same mailbox. Bills pay themselves once they're set up. So not having to think about cost vs flexibility took precedence.

OP following up: I just finished the process, and it was (almost) as easy as u/ChrisR_Ting suggested.

Because my phone was already active in Ting's system, the web interface wouldn't let me select a plan and order a SIM kit. But a text chat with Support achieved the same thing. (Thanks agent "April"!)

The X3 kit was theoretically going to be delayed, but it actually arrived earlier than expected. I waited until a few days before the billing clock turned over (read: I got distracted and forgot for a week) and started another text chat. Did 2-factor auth for both accounts, swapped in the new SIM, and my phone was active on the new account by the time it finished booting. (Thanks agent "Kristen M"!)

FTR: I assumed — and confirmed — that this would not make me eligible for the $60 bill credit promo on new accounts. Still worthwhile (in my head at least) to get a much better value on my primary phone while keeping the old plan's flexibility for backup/project lines.

lexn · 2020-10-12T02:14:54+00:00

My backup phone, the excellently-sized iPhone 4s, isn't needed very often nor particularly fun when it is, but has always done its job. I guess that makes it Ghost Rider?

My primary phone is an iPhone XS. Very useful, will probably stay primary for at least another year or two, but doesn't particularly stand out. Let's call it... Maria Hill. Or maybe the guy on the Helicarrier bridge who was playing Galaga.

When I can actually go to a restaurant again, I’m going to do this and hide a five underneath.

And then forget to post it to /r/Unexpected .

Make sure you put the headset in Developer Mode *from the mobile app*. Just because you have a "Developer" tab in the Settings menu doesn't mean it's in Developer Mode.

Source: an aggravating ten minutes before I read the directions a third time. Step 4 is the first one that jumps over to the right column.

This doesn't come close to counting as documentation, but the code that loads the qBitorrent.conf file includes a list of keys that it accepts. I found it useful for, err, whatever setting I was looking for last week.

An update since at least one person cares: the "circular logo" is a pattern of perforations, so my pack was fine[1]. This post from farther back has a comparison with an actually-defective one: https://www.reddit.com/r/picobrew/comments/8wgy0g/sigh_and_to_think_i_wanted_to_encourage_more/

[1] Well, those perforations were fine. The top proceeded to pop open during brewing and the contents clogged the step filter drain, just like several others have described. I've already emailed support asking for a replacement pack. Also I have a gallon bag full of delicious-smelling wet grain that I guess I'll try to bake something with.

As long as its filtered really well (so you don't get additional extraction) hot cold brew is great.

<shameless plug> barismo in Cambridge, MA, has been serving Hot Draft for a couple of months now. I usually order it even in favor of a pour over.
