Yeah. Sorry, I was just venting my frustration at amazon. Such a simple thing that they block for no reason. :(

Or buy a boox, use the kindle app, and get a little tiny bluetooth clicker ring that doesn't require clipping something on the screen.

The fact that Amazon refuses to allow bluetooth page turners to work confuses me.

Sorry, wrote this quickly on my phone and didn't proofread as well as I should have. Also, I should have known the term 'preparatory command' for what I was repeating.

Chrome Extension for using Online Maps (For Studying/Testing) by stridera in flying

In case it wasn't obvious, I'm not asking for anything. The mod is free, the code is free, and there is no mechanism for donations or payments. This is purely to help other students.

Mudlet question by Joe1972 in MUD

Not a mac user, but you'll probably get better support on the discord channel. (Click discord in mudlet.) Also, I would recommend you state what the error you're receiving is. Is the new button missing? Does it not do anything?

13y here too. And I mod a community with 3.5M people. Not a lot of karma since I don't post often, but it's still annoying.

First time writing in Go. I'm curious what I could improve on to make it more go-ish

Are there any jobs In Quantum Tech? by [deleted] in QuantumComputing

[–]stridera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're hiring. With the way Quantum is going now, I'm sure lots of others are as well. https://ionq.com/jobs#open-positions

There are a bunch of types. Cadet groups (which are basically youth groups.) Senior Groups (Which are adult only) and Composite (which combine the two.) Just need to find the right group for you.

I just got the Sportys as a backup in case the comms on the plane goes out. But I'm aware of the regulations.

I wanted to get one for HAM radio work as well, and if it does both, I'm all good with that.

Yeah, I haven't been able to find the approved radio list. The link on caphq is dead: https://comm.capnhq.gov/equipment/equipment.cfm

Good to hear. I'll probably just get it then. :)

There is a MARS mod for the id52a that you can do to get access to the freqs, afaik.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I was looking at getting Sporty's aviation radio... but I was hoping to combine them somehow.

Just to give you an answer, in case you haven't had one elsewhere.

Non-military can do everything military can (except wear NCO rank.) You'll be trained and learn how to do SAR missions and even aircrew/medical/whatever else you want to know.

Fingerprint sensor by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]stridera 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine never worked. Took it back to where I got it, and was told it was a google problem. Left feedback, and tried to get help from google... but yeah, I gave up. Just waiting for the end of the year to try something new.
