I was relying upon my knowledge of hardware and software to dictate some of my specifications, often asking or posing that such-and-such could not do what we were planning. Finally, one of the grey beards took me aside and explained how we do not care about that. We just write the specs, and what we want, and someone else down the line worries about what stuff can or cannot do whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/177/#findComment-4997397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wierd_w Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I have the screen retention system, screen, and speakers all assembled together. It's a bit rough (since I had to go to town on it with a hot tool to get the speakers in, due to the odd shape of their retainers, and because I goofed up bigtime on the front button strip's orientation... whoops.), but all the goodies function. I ran out of bright yellow, and had to substitute some other abundant filament toward the end of the print, but this is just the undercarriage that you wont see anyway. I just wanted to show off that the speakers do in fact, fit.

+mizapf Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 This is my last puzzle - 36 years ago, when I was 16. 6000 parts, took me about 18 months. Back then, this was the time when I learned TurboPasc'99, and I wrote a Quicksort program that sorted the star names from left to right, and from right to left (in case I only had the second part of the name in my hand), together with the coordinates. Sorry for the shooting angle; it hangs at the wall in our stairwell. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/177/#findComment-5010934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhodes Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I know this is not a place for general computer usage help, but this is driving me crazy: I can not get youtube's autoplay to stay off. I set it to off, watch the current video, and next time i go to watch a different video on youtube, i see its set to on. Using latest firefox on ubuntu mate 20.04. Some sort issue with cookies maybe? (and yes, i stay signed in to google/youtube all the time, so its not a issue of needing to sign in to save my settings.) 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/177/#findComment-5016815 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beery Very much like here but I expect it here . It's best that people there just need to stop dying, and special hardware can be a thing of the past.

+TheBF Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 My grandmother lived on the other side of the Ottawa river from an artillery practice field. Those guys start early in the morning. But they never lobbed one into the barn, so there's that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/346007-off-topic-dumping-thread/page/177/#findComment-5023516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
