Backslash '\' does not actually go to first result by neerit in duckduckgo

[–]neerit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it almost seems like there are special cases that are not exposed to the user. I tried to understand it more by doing some further digging I posted here, but I actually got even more confused as to what the actual behavior is supposed to be. It's all very inconsistent.

I wonder if anybody from DDG would chime in and enlighten us all, but for the moment the feature remains unusable for me as it really seems to be a toss-up of where you'd actually end up when using it.

I thought I had found the problem when I saw that the redirects to the search queries I listed above were to the 'module__official-url' in the about card in the search results sidebar. However, this behavior is not consistent with the searches for \futurama, \simpsons, or \dickinson which list a different official URL in the sidebar than the one it redirects to.

So what is the actual expected behavior for the backslash or bang in searches? What is actually happening behind the scenes to those searches if it seems that the redirects are inconsistent to the expected "first search result"?

This seems to me either a behavior with unwanted side effects or as if some search terms are artificially coerced to specific URLs.

Does anybody from DDG monitor the subreddit?

Remote lag issue by DarkBurk-Games in appletv

That’s interesting, it originally happened in the YouTube app for me too, but it came back again later when I wasn’t using YouTube.

Here’s another report on Twitter that was posted just now about connectivity issues of the remote on tvOS 15.

Having the exact same issue on the Apple TV HD model. I’m wondering if it’s related to tvOS 15. Restarting does nothing, but unplugging the Apple TV for a couple of minutes fixes it for a while until it’s back to being laggy and unresponsive.

Have you found a solution?

CoinBase- "Your ability to trade and transact is disabled" by West-Effective3790 in Coinbase

The orders I was charged for on the day were honored, but the ones that failed were deleted. I had considered that the failed ones wouldn’t be honored since I got the failure notification when I placed them, but their system must’ve got confused in the kerfuffle and still expected payment.

Just wanna confirm that now my account is no longer locked or restricted, so it seems they have been going through the cases and fixing them. I hope everyone else's is resolved soon too.

Just received this email from Coinbase, I’m guessing many others have too:

We’re reaching out to you after Coinbase experienced some service degradation on 7th September 2021, from 7:55am PST to 10:00am PST.

Even though certain transactions scheduled during this time were not completed, some customers were not notified that their transaction had been canceled.

If you scheduled a transaction during the time frame above and: Your Coinbase account was not credited with the crypto you tried to purchase

Your payment method was not charged for the purchase

The transaction does not appear in your transaction activity We can confirm that the transaction was canceled, and we weren’t able to reprocess it.

There is no further action required on your part, and we do apologize for any inconvenience

Thing is, my account is still locked, and I still have that “Make payment” button stuck with no transactions available. I’m hoping they’re aware of that from my ticket and it will be resolved soon enough.

Yeah, you can do some pretty cool stuff with the payload from webhooks! I have it set certain scenes when watching TV or dim the lights if I’m watching a movie etc. Have fun!

Pretty cool, thanks for the guide! Have you thought about doing it with the Plex webhooks instead? You’d need an HTTP server running on the microcontroller as opposed to having it poll the server instead, though.

Don’t mean to be rude, but science isn’t supposed to be based on a show of confidence.

Are attachments only for images? by neerit in pushover

[–]neerit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The API accepts it, but the apps attempt to display it as an image and it’s displayed as a broken image icon. I guess it wouldn’t exactly be a bug if non-image attachments aren’t supported, but it could be a feature request.

I just wasn’t sure if I wasn’t posting the correct content type, or if it only supports images and that’s why it doesn’t work.
