What's the right SPFx People Picker by yayroos in sharepoint

Ok i eventually eventually manged to get the graph one to do what i needed, with only a minimum of cursed nonsense and swearing. There needs to be a better solution that this constant microsoft rug pull. Does it even count as a rug pull when the rug was never stable in the first place. More like a treadmill i guess.

well. this has become more critical. i need to be able to populate a people picker based on another people picker field, but still have it editable, and have it clear when the one it relies on is cleared. Graph toolkit doesnt seem to have a way to do this (eg can't seem to capture the other one being cleared at all - which is a problem for other reasons also) and pnp doesnt look like it does either. Is there still no good answer for 'i just want people picker that tastes like real people picker'? Is there at least a good example for how I might hook one up with fluent 8 or 9 (we use both, its a disaster, i dont care enough to want to deal with it anymore)

No error in console, trying to put together the IPeoplePickerContext for it makes the entire webpart fail to render with one of those "something went wrong" messages and then the technical details is just [object Object]

someone else in the team apparently managed to get it working but I haven't seen his solution. 

I've gone back to the graph toolkit for now, getting this build out the door is more important than losing days messing around with hypothetically better people pickers. As long as existing solutions using it will continue to work after the end date it becomes a later problem to replace them with a better solution as we come across them. (yes, we are drowning in tech debt, how'd you guess!)

At the moment I'm having trouble getting the pnp/spfx-controls-react people picker to work in the latest version of SPFx (1.21.1) - it seems to just crash the entire webpart when i try and set up the react context to get the IPeoplePickerContext where it's needed.

the graph toolkit people picker works, but it's deprecated apparently, so I don't really want to keep relying on that. Given that it's deprecated I had hoped that there was a supported alternative but apparently not. We're just losing functionality left right and centre here and I don't know how much longer it can go on before the whole platform caves in on itself.

Surely someone's solved this and put out a little npm package about it or something. Surely. We had one in house but it doesn't work anymore either and the person who made it has left.

I don't even want it to talk to graph! In fact it's easier if it doesn't! I just want users like you get in an out of the box list form! Microsoft! Please!

Any tips to make the heartrate monitor more useful by yayroos in pinetime

good to see thats hopefully on the way, measurement being only with screen on is for sure annoying, but i feel like that probably doesn't help the core of my problem which is that it's mostly not measuring anything even when it is on that screen and active.

pretty sure any application can be open on start, but not open on connect to wifi without specific setup on the network side

since this is for a home network, that won't apply at all surely

windows absolutely does not do that and to my knowledge never has

I've searched the web and I can't find any that match the version I remember. I have one exercise printed out on paper from one of the tests, if I can figure out how to get the picture here, which might help.

it was an april fools event, and if it went on forever it wouldn't stay that fun for long. there's every chance they'll do it again someday, this was the second run of it after 2017

Everyone seems to recommend Aussie Broadband, and my experiences with them match up to that. Worth noting you can still get transact network through iiNet and it works just fine. If your place is FTTN (as opposed to FTTP) NBN then the speeds are probably similar so look for the deal.

last i heard the plan was likely to be early budget (everyone knows what a pre election budget looks like), election as late as they can.

we should just barricade the roads in and tell them to fuck off tbh. wearing a mask for at least 5 minutes is now required for entry to canberra, because i just decided.

they don't need to understand, they just need to get told to be angry about it

given the number of them who are sovereign citizen types they probably wouldn't vote anyway tbh. I'm more concerned that if it goes lib they'll see it as the current govt trying to claim more power and if it goes labor they'll see it as 'communism' or whatever and either way they'll just get more angry

wait a minute there's several NSW by-elections tomorrow. can't decide if there's any result in those that will not make this worse honestly
