      The only truly good ads ...

      What is this odd phrase? Do those words go together like that? Or is this a translation of some idiom badly translated into english?

      Agreed,.. thin only good ad is the one I never see, hear, or read….

      I love the blank placeholder on the Roku home screen. PiHole FTW.

      Had to shut mine down - interfered with game play on certain iOS games... because - shitting games.

      Obsolesce

      Full Moon
      2023.01.06 @ 21:32
      Alt: 55°

      First night out in a few cloudy/rainy weeks, next week or two the same
      I did a little bit of everything of what I could. Dew point reached, everything got wet that wasn't in a heated dew shield, which thankfully the telescope was.

      Setup:
      5" SCT + Fujifilm X-T4 @ ~1250mm f/10 - 3840x2160
      iOptron mount, tracking: mount-only
      Fujifilm Camera Remote
      FPS: 29.97 / Shutter 1/250 (4ms) / ISO 320 / Histogram 50-75%
      Dynamic Range: 200%
      70% / 450 light frames
      PIPP + AS!3 + RegiStax6 + Lightroom

      83ccf24f-2efd-45d0-b457-6eb57c924a36-image.png

      Same shot, different processing:

      @Obsolesce yes, with standard home toilets.

      Really? All data shows public restroom / commercial water jet toilets. I can't find a single reference to a home toilet test or study. Nothing at all.

      Until then, I have no reason to think a home toilet is at all as bad or even remotely close.

      Give Mike Rowe a shot. Here is a snippit from an episode he did with a "clean" bathroom, black light, and flushing a home toilet with the lid up.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqNus5AIHR4

      Over the years, I have become a huge proponent of closing the lid before flushing.

      I just got a ticket for Ohio Linux Fest. I'll only be able to attend Saturday, but looks like some interesting things happening.

      https://olfconference.org/ if anyone else is interested.

      Well, after the conference, I think it's time to give tower another look. A lot has changed, and it should be stable now.

      @WrCombs said in PlayStation Game Drive; wont read on PlayStation or computer:

      Checked for Drivers to install and installed 2 tool kits and a seagate driver that matches the model number. still no luck. It's USB only so I can plug it into a different computer as the hard drive to see if it boots up. I'm not sure what else to do.

      huh drivers for a drive?

      I'm guessing you could have a similar issue to connecting a Tivo drive to a windows machine - Tivo uses a file system that windows can't read.

      Booting from Linux Live or attaching to Linux based OS provided additional file system support and instructions on how to access/copy, etc.

      I don’t care to print it,… or at least start it. I can monitor and it it fails could stop it… but it’s not exactly a wild print.

      If it’s imaged at the size needed I don’t have to scale any,.. guess is just an hour or so to print.

      @scottalanmiller said in Checking Out Xojo:

      Zoho does something similar. And the names are very similar. Potentially pronounced the same!

      "Xojo" is how you spell "Zoho" in Spanish.

      In Central America, Xojo would be like "Shoho" because the X comes from the local language and is the "sh" sound. Like the city of Xela (sounds like Sheila) and the girl's name Xochitl (sounds like Shocheel.)

      Might also consider a ring light.

      Actually the white wall that is just behind the laptop is much better than a ring light. Just bounce a light source of it and you'll get a very nice light. Search for "bounce lighting" if you want examples.

      I have this setup - I have a LED lap that I pointed a the wall and turned the camera on - much better lighting for video calls and wat not.

      Thanks for the idea!

      Mentioned that I was having issues with my headset to one of my coworkers - I guess we have a standard issue headset offered by the company.

      https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WJRMW17/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_3YW5JM7SC9CNTRGQGTVK_0?th=1

      It does seem kinda weird that either a) they supply you with one or b) they reimburse you for providing one of your own.

      Though perhaps we don't have all the information.

      I'm not following

      do they
      a) pay for a headset OR
      b) reimburse you for one you buy yourself?

      Using a headset is basically a requirement for a softphone (and since you're now work from home support - I fully expect you'll spend the better part of your day on the phone - so you'll want a headset for that so really that should be a business expense).

      ah, they bought it and it'll be here tomorrow.

      It looks pretty decent to me. The Evolve2 40 has a more advanced mic though with more suppression of unwanted noise and the Engage 50 is better and much lighter. But it's hard to beat free 🙂

      I think you'll be very pleased with it.
