Yeah, no. Account gone in advance.

my washer/dryer also has capacitive touch and will usually pause itself this way during a dry cycle if I forget to put the keypad lock on. it's an absolute failure of product desig…

A company that forced me to be on video calls is a company I would leave immediately

Well I use it daily and I can't even scroll up through chat history without it getting totally janky. The search basically doesn't work, I routinely have to restart it and often te…

It does for me too (located in the UK) Perhaps the URL should be https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-57808517

I can't focus properly on bright blue things. There's a football stadium not far from where I live and its name alternates between red and blue in big text. I know what it says but…

Glad you mentioned this, as I would end up returning such a device too and now I don't need to waste my time I'm looking for a new ereader and I don't want to have to register/sign…

Yeah, push notifications are an absolute shitshow. A standardised push notifications API where you could swap out providers would be such a breath of fresh air. That being said, th…

I've found that UT99 works incredibly well under wine. However, what's more awesome is that there's an unofficial update currently in beta (v469) and I can confirm it runs well on …

For reference, the anti-cheat plugin usually used by Unreal Tournament servers is AntiCheatEngine ("ACE") https://ace.ut-files.com/index1a8f.html?p=about

I don't buy this, there must be some false positive rate in some of these sites. I've been told that I've viewed too many articles on sites I've never visited before. It's happened…

Second this, I've had no trouble ringing an old GPO 746 telephone (and very loudly) with a Grandstream HT802

I've just submitted a refund request, I'm not sure if it will be granted but I'd hope that others who do not run Windows will also consider making a refund request (unless offline …

Can't read without signing up on Medium now?

I find the latency of these things to be really bad, and the "wide-angle" view is never wide enough (and what is with all of the parking guide lines they draw that never seem corre…

No, but we've entered an era where it's normal for users to have little/no control over their own machines.

Wtf? Closing the 'x free articles remaining' modal triggers the same behaviour as clicking the subscribe button (redirect) How are we supposed to read an article with most of the s…

Just a heads up but your terms and conditions link doesn't work

Yet another subscription, yet another proprietary app with dubious permission requirements to be installed on (supported) devices Oh the joy

Here's a crappy userscript that might help (function(shitlist) { [].__proto__.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('table.itemlist tr.athing'), (n) => { let s = n.querySelector('…

I do something similar, using a liquidsoap script as the source to icecast https://www.liquidsoap.info/

You can set an intro file in Icecast's mount settings http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#mount...

This looks really interesting, I'm currently at work but will check out in more depth later! From a quick scan I can't understand, how does the tree work for routing with a fixed n…

I hate it, I find the UI clunky and slow. Most annoying is having to fake an Edge user agent to get incoming calls to work (using Chrome on Ubuntu) but having to use the normal UA …

This. I had half of my face stop working and had recently moved (and not yet registered with a new GP.) I went to my previous GP and they turned me away (no longer in the catchment…
