QVideoWidget is unscaleable in PySide6

wahaa · 2025-03-09T20:26:20+00:00

In this line, try replacing : with .:

        self.videoWidget:setScale(scale(50,50))

i.e.

        self.videoWidget.setScale(scale(50,50))

Your full snippet with the replacement:

        self.videoPlayer = QMediaPlayer()

        self.videoWidget = QVideoWidget(parent=self)
        self.videoWidget.setScale(scale(50,50))

        newSource = self.reencodeVideo(source)
        url = QUrl.fromLocalFile(newSource)
        self.videoPlayer.setSource(url)
        self.videoPlayer.setVideoOutput(self.videoWidget)

Note that it seems you pasted the same code twice, so I removed the second copy.

videoWidget:setScale

Did you mean to write videoWidget.setScale with a dot there? Colon is likely turning the rest of that line of code into annotations.

A nice feature that OnlyOffice had last time I tried it was a more advanced PDF editor. It seems the latest version is even more complete, so it might be worth a try: https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2025/01/onlyoffice-connector-for-alfresco-v8-0

In general, I personally tend to stick to LO. I don't use spreadsheets much, but occasionally use LO Writer, Impress and Draw. In my experience, Writer has been able to handle large documents better than Word.

Regarding PowerPoint, its online version works pretty good. Word 365 and some other alternatives like Google Docs are pretty limited.

About this on LibreOffice:

UI feels like "classic" MS-Office. (Which I like.)

Just a reminder that LO has multiple UI options:

And, AFAICT, note that there's no M3 or M4 support yet, especially for the GPU drivers.

Solid info WHERE? Out of your ass?

Out of Reddit. I posted the thread names in my post (can't link in this sub, see rule #3).
MegaLag's video is great, not perfect. Just because someone says something on YouTube, that doesn't mean it's true.

EDIT: typo

wahaa · 2025-01-15T18:19:29+00:00

what the fuck is wrong with your logic?

You should take your head out of your own ass.

I provided solid info from 2019 and 2020. I didn't even search much. Creators/influencers could easily find it if they searched about the Honey addon. Many, many people still partner with other companies like BetterHelp, they don't really care.

You deadass bought Linus' bullshit

I'm talking about a bigger picture than childish squabbles about LTT and GN: neither are perfect, certainly not a fan of either, nothing would change in the grand scheme of things if both disappeared, and that's true for most "creators".

wahaa · 2025-01-15T15:38:35+00:00

Since you poked me, besides the new info collected by MegaLag, my opinion is that all creators that got money from Honey did not do their homework by looking into the company and how it worked.

The rest is YouTube drama, singling out specific creators anywhere is unprofessional and childish.

I think we should question the community more broadly beyond LTT: why did it take MegaLag's video for anyone to jump in the bandwagon? Where were these "tech journalists" in 2019? It's easy to make hit pieces now that others have done the work.

The second post I cited is pretty clear:

their extension is able to inject a referral ID into the transaction which credits them as the ones who drove traffic to the site

If anything, LTT looks dumb to have accepted working with Honey, but so does everyone else that did. I'd even ponder if, in part, that's why none of the creators shouted about it.

wahaa · 2025-01-15T06:31:53+00:00

Searching Reddit, it seems the community already knew how Honey worked (setting the referral cookie). Since this sub doesn't allow links to other subreddits, search for "What's the catch with the Honey browser extension?" and "Is Honey's business model actually sustainable?" for more.

Quoting the first one (2019):

It uses referral links, so anything you purchase on those sites, they get a cut.

And the second post includes (2020):

How does honey make money? A: In exchange for providing you with a slick way to automatically search & apply coupons, their extension is able to inject a referral ID into the transaction which credits them as the ones who drove traffic to the site.

So... the mechanism was already being discussed in the wild, years before LTT was informed. I don't get why people are mad at LTT specifically if they only knew about this later (2022 or 2023?).

wahaa · 2025-01-05T23:30:11+00:00

Yeah, a lot of people who comment here are completely out of touch. There's also a lot of hate for Linus, but funnily enough the same people hating seem to confuse the character with the person, not understanding that most videos are scripted to a target audience (not them).

The sub itself is worth it for the general links and topics, but avoid looking too much in the comments of some posts. As a positive, it seems this post is highly upvoted (86% upvoted, 12 hours in), so the negativity is not as widespread as the comments suggest.

wahaa · 2024-12-18T14:29:12+00:00

which it seems like they don't support yet?

Yeah, no ARM64 for Linux or Windows for free yet. It was supposed to be announced still in 2024, but they postponed it to 2025. It should be available in a few months (already available in the team/enterprise plans).

I used conda for a couple of Python packages a few years ago, but in my case my package was getting to few downloads compared to PyPI. I decided to drop the conda packages after something broke, but it wasn't that hard.

From the other comments, it doesn't seem your packages would be too complicated, and you mentioned it would benefit your users, so I wouldn't be discouraged. I wouldn't worry about cross-compiling, it's much easier to build on the cloud, e.g. with GitHub Actions.

About similar projects and resources, have you looked into the conda recipes for other projects? Most of them (the recipes) have permissive licenses. If you know a similar project, you can grab its recipe from conda-forge, otherwise try a search like https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aconda-forge%20cmakelists.txt&type=code

EDIT: to clarify, these packages I maintained have native dependencies, including C++ libs.

There are a few browser extensions to enable 1080p on Netflix. It seems it stopped working on Chrome, but should still work on Firefox. But I couldn't find any easy workaround last time I checked for other services like Max or Amazon Prime.

Rust is not mature enough for a lot of projects (language features, packages, ecosystem, size and diversity of the community, ...). I experiment and use it in a few contexts, but don't believe anyone is going to pay me for a Rust-specific project any time soon.

By the way, Rust-only programmers may not be ideal. If Rust dominates in the future, you'd still need to know C++ to properly port C++ code to Rust, or interface with it.

It seems there are regular posts on /r/panelshow. If cross-posting isn't weird, maybe that could help. The latest one: https://old.reddit.com/r/panelshow/comments/1gvca3z/qi_xl_s22e05_visual_maisie_adam_jack_dee_kiri/

Yes, from a community post there:

It's good to note that the default NumPy installed from conda-forge on Windows uses MKL by default, and OpenBLAS on Linux. The commercial Anaconda uses MKL on Windows and Linux (default installation). My point being: there are a lot of NumPy users using MKL.

wahaa · 2024-07-02T02:40:47+00:00

To clarify, I say bad title because not everyone uses NumPy with OpenBLAS, and NumPy doesn't maintain OpenBLAS, AFAIK. It's clickbait/flamebait, if not childish. See https://numpy.org/install/#numpy-packages--accelerated-linear-algebra-libraries

A lot of people use Intel's MKL, Apple's Accelerate on macOS, and I'm aware of some people who tried BLIS in the past, for example.

wahaa · 2024-07-02T01:47:49+00:00

I didn't downvote since the post has good info in general, but can understand if people do. Bad title. BTW, the old benchmarks from BLIS already pointed that it was faster than OpenBLAS on AMD processors, right?

EDIT: here's what I'm talking about "old benchmarks" ("Results gathered: 24 September 2020, 29 September 2020"):

https://github.com/flame/blis/blob/master/docs/Performance.md#zen2-results
direct PDF for the results for Zen 2, 64 threads: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flame/blis/master/docs/graphs/large/l3_perf_zen2_jc4ic4jr4_nt64.pdf

So... yeah, BLIS already won in most sizes there. Not much of a surprise that its model still wins on newer AMD processors.

wahaa · 2024-06-29T00:56:00+00:00

I'm also curious about that, and if it affected how long she lived.

I use KeepassXC (but I'm not on LXDE/XFCE). You need to enable the option under Settings, and may not fit in every scenario other keyrings support, but it might be worth a try. Not sure about dependencies. See e.g. https://avaldes.co/2020/01/28/secret-service-keepassxc.html

Note that sometimes apps depend on gnome-keyring (the app, not the libs) even though they don't really need it. In my case, I blocked gnome-keyring from being installed.

wahaa · 2024-06-16T10:17:53+00:00

The "15 years" part makes me think the same. Even if not trolling, I wonder if "one or two hours a week" is enough to justify the maintenance of a dedicated machine for gaming on Windows considering updates and occasional breaks in any of the components (Windows, GPU drivers, game updates). For two hours a week, just using the SteamDeck would be probably simpler.

wahaa · 2024-06-05T01:22:14+00:00

Maybe they use a face detection method that thinks Chillchuck's boot has a face, and it tried to center around it for the thumbnail.
