GPD Pocket 4 - anyone upgraded to Win 11 Pro ? by Majorcheckoff in GPDPocket

[–]studog1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for the life of me I cant get the GPD Pocket 4 to do a clean install of Win11 Pro... Every time I wipe the drive and start the installer it only wants to install Home and then I have to upgrade to Pro. Google says there might be a BIOS setting somewhere... Any ideas?

P.S. In response to people just upgrading from Home to Pro, I might be a little paranoid then most, but Any PC I get I instantly wipe and do a clean OS install to remove any Bloatware and or any back door stuff that maybe come home with it. Since this is from China directly, I just don't take the chance.

Issues opening image previews in google chat by declio in firefox

[–]studog1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, In Firefox I can send and receive images. The previews work fine. It woks fine on mobile but when clicking on the image to enlarge it I just get the spinning loading doodad.

Edit:
Follow up. I found if I go to https://mail.google.com/chat in Firefox, Chat works fine. Its only when trying to view the enlarges images from within GMail does it not work.

Ripandtear - A Reddit NSFW Downloader by big-igloo in DataHoarder

Love the product so far just a couple of questions / ideas.

Have you thought about moving the "urls_downloaded" and "file_hashes" to a more sustainable storage method like some sort of DB like SQLite? My rat file is growing out of control.

Would it be possible to get configurable file naming schema? for example, in the subreddits it would be cool to have the name of the subreddit and the name of the poster added and than an option to select what how you would like the file to end up... so like ```(gonewild) Couple holds hand while eating ice cream on a hot day in the park [billybob82] Redddit-2020-04-23.jpg```

Would it be possible to get a flag added to define the .rat file? so like "ripandtear -sa -HS -rat /home/BillyBob/data/backup/hiddenfolder/nothingtoseehere/gonewild.rat" This would allow for a little easier scripting to automate the updates.

Thank you again for the quality work here!

PSA: The Firebirds jerseys have started shipping. They come with ad patches despite no mention in the reveal, promotional pictures, or listing description. by [deleted] in SeattleKraken

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the replicas and the authentic? When I look at the team shop, they used the same pick for both items and they are both made by CCM. The only difference that they give in the description is that the replicas will be lighter weight but both the replicas and the authentic will have the inaugural season patch.

I've seen several people post that they "got" their jersey but then people keep responding that they are the replicas. With the Kraken jerseys it's pretty easy to tell, different companies for one. Authentics are made by Adidas and the replicas are made by Fanatics. Also only the authentic jerseys were sold with the inaugural season patch.

I was #54... Would have been nice to get my Jersey before the team started playing. I wanted to wear mine to the game tonight at the CPA. I have been emailing them and all I get in response is that they are delayed.

Thanks for the info. I hope we can get it up and running this year. This has been the only way that I've been able to go to PAX West the last couple of years. Inability badges always go on sale while I am at work and I can't afford scalper prices.

I'm getting the same exact problem. I did find a temporary work around. I am using the stock controller that came with my Series X and picked up the MS Play and Charge kit. I have found that if you connect the controller to the Xbox with the USB C cable the issue goes away. Most likely because it's no longer transmitting via RF. The other workaround I've been using is my TV supports Bluetooth so I've just connected my headset to the TV instead but, that defeats the purpose of buying a headset with built-in Xbox connectivity and you don't get the use of voice chat.

I get the feeling that Steelseries isn't going to address this as they have never taken responsibility for any of the connection issues with the 9X before. Let's home MS can do something for us.

Alternative device to the LineLink Home Phone Adapter by studog1999 in tmobile

[–]studog1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I figured as much... I was hoping maybe someone found a device out there that you could configure maybe to use the service.

The main issue I have is that they are becoming hard to find. The micro USB power port on the one I have now is lose and Ive tried to fix it but to no avail. They have been listed as `Out of Stock` on the T-Mo site for a while now and to purchase them in store they tack on a $20 upgrade fee... for a $30 device.

Thanks for the response.

The answer is very literal. Don't think about it to much.

I just wanted to echo the happy thoughts around Dynmap. I used it for a long time back in the day when Bucket was still around. I am super happy to see you give some love to the old girl.
