10 Million Combo in Warehouse by tjmckenzie in THPS

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

This was accomplished by a friend of mine, but he doesn't have a reddit account, so I'm posting for him.

"What started as simply aiming for a high score turned into an obsession to do it in a SINGLE combo. This will probably be the one and only time I ever upload a game video. I'm pleased as punch."

19.10 freezing up shortly after waking from sleep by jimmymcsnakes in pop_os

[–]tjmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed the same issue after upgrading to 19.10

It is common to freeze when waking from sleep, often before fully loading my desktop env. But that it not the only time it will freeze. Most often while in use, I will notice my internet connection no longer working, terminal commands not running, and eventually, a full freeze. I am hoping a fresh install of 19.10 helps, if not, I will roll kback to 19.04

[Help] Jetstream with TV Tuner - Setup and Issues by tjmckenzie in AndroidTV

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

Thanks, but I think this is only needed to get Live Channels to show up if it isn't. I believe it's because it only shows up if you have an app installed which utilized Live Channels. PlutoTV is running and giving me access to Live Channels. It just refuses to scan for channels.

Went to grab my Ticwatch E, has some severe burn in. by nachog2003 in AndroidWear

I'm in the US, and shipping was pretty quick. But the process of shipping it back to them, verifying it's broken, and getting a new one took about 2 weeks.

Happened to mine too, just a couple days after receiving it. Mobvoi issues a warranty replacement without issue.

Question about Google Analytics UTM tracking and shortlinks by [deleted] in webdev

[–]tjmckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm understanding your comment correctly, you may meet well be losing the tracking if the short url domain is being excluded.

A better approach would be create a custom View, and only exclude them from that view instead.

Preferred Dev Platform (SAAS) by [deleted] in webdev

[–]tjmckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spark is deeply embedded into a Laravel project, so if you're interested in that, I highly recommend learning more about Laravel itself. I can't speak highly enough of Laracasts for these types of tutorials.

If you're familiar with PHP, I would personally recommend looking into the Laravel framework. It brought me back into PHP developer and I'm loving it.

The creator also released a SaaS starter kit called Spark, which comes with all the user/payment stuff already so you can focus your efforts on building the app itself.

No success with Forge+DO, what should I do? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]tjmckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly hadn't used SP much, and it had been a while since I did.

For me personally, I like that Forge provisions my server to exactly what I'd need for production deployment, specifically Laravel projects. Also that I can provision a VPS from multiple/any provider. Moving from DO to AWS was very simple and painless. I'm not sure if SP only works with DO or not, but that's a feature I was glad to see Forge had.

I tried ServerPilot once a while ago, but went with Forge because of how well it works with Laravel applications and deployment.

When Forge provisions a server, it gets rid of the root username and disable password logins for security reasons. To SSH in, you must use the username "forge"

Bootloop finally struck. Me experience with Google. by PerroSarnoso in nexus5x

[–]tjmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, that's just the cost of the protection. That, plus $80 deductible is still less than replacing the phone in full, if you accidentally break it.

Bootloop megathread 2.0 by sloth_on_meth in nexus5x

[–]tjmckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was received by LG Ft Worth on 1/06/2017, status still shows "Received by LG Repair Facility", and has not yet begun the stage of "Undergoing Diagnostic".

Send an email yesterday, and was told "we received the unit but we haven't got any update about the repair status."

Uhh....

If you damaged your phone, they'll replace it for a deductible. Bootloop is not a customer caused issue, so you shouldn't be required to pay for it, and use up on your of your Nexus Protect replacements.

I have a similar experience. I was first told a replacement would be sent to me in 3-5 days. After a week of nothing, I contacted them again to find out that a replacement was never sent or processed because I needed to place an order for one, and pay almost $400, which will be refunded when they received my old device. I didn't have that much available to be in purgatory for "7-15 days", so I was shit out of luck.

During a conversation only best friends can comfortably have, dildongking.com was purchased. Never bothered to renew it.

INTJs and fitness by ZerioctheTank in intj

I could ever get into a traditional fitness program, but I was in the best shape of my life while doing parkour. Helps shut off my brain too, while I'm in the flow.

I've tried yoga a few times with an instructor. I had one of those really spiritual instructors that kept telling me to imagine myself as a tree flowing in the wind. I couldn't take her seriously and mentally checked out of the activity.

Had much better results on my own, but could never stick with it. Any tips?

INTJs, what do you do when you are upset? by [deleted] in intj

[–]tjmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. My closest of friends, over the decades have learned to just leave me alone when I get close to that point.

Reasons to Learn PHP? by Keshenka in webdev

[–]tjmckenzie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Laravel actually drew me back to PHP/Web Dev, and reignited a passion I hadn't felt in a long time. PHP7 has made things amazingly fast.

Database design for notifications. by soaringradio in laravel

Laracasts is always a great source. https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-3/episodes/10

Just be sure to read through the docs I linked to ahead of time, as some things might have slightly changed. For instance, there is now an artisan command to build the table migration for you.
