Depending on what you’re doing, Krita is worth a look. I gave it a go for cropping and lightly editing some photos recently, and then tried their version of the clone stamp tool. It’s hidden under the brushes presets, but worked better than the Photoshop tool 👍
It depends on the server. Mine is an old Haswell based system, and uses more than 2 watts :)
Be careful with MediaMonkey, it can incorrectly change your files.
I’ve got dozens, if not hundreds of songs where it’s changed the track number to the play count, and I’ve got a load where it’s decreased the volume by a significant amount, presumably as part of the volume leveling function.
I don’t use anything else to play or manage my music, and nothing has permission to affect it this way.
Strongly disagree. I’m using SwiftKey, and the prediction has been awful for the last year or so. It constantly tries to force sentences on me and gives me multiple repeated words.
As an example, typing that last sentence, every time I started a word with ‘m’, it suggested ‘more’ and ‘more than’. If I long press and tell it not to suggest ‘more than’, then select ‘more’, the next suggested word is ‘than’.
I find that it often repeats the selected word too. Earlier I typed something like ‘I did it last year’ and the next suggestions were ‘year’ and ‘year ago’.
Microsoft have shoehorned a predictive AI into SwiftKey, and it doesn’t work properly.
The island is tiny, and only has about half a dozen houses on it. The visitors are there because it’s a nature reserve, so generally don’t want to be on their phones anyway. It’s not worth setting up a relay station over just telling everyone before they get there.
This time last year I stayed on Bardsey Island, off the Welsh Coast. There’s hardly any phone signal on the island, but they warned everyone to turn off roaming on their phones anyway. It turns out that because of the mountain on the island blocking the signal from the UK, lots of phones automatically connect to Irish providers, and cost more than people expect
Fair enough. I tried video calling with it at the beginning of the first lockdown, and it was fine for what I needed, but most of the video calling programs were a bit rubbish then.
I very rarely share files with people outside of an already set up organisation, so I haven’t had a reason to try their file sharing.
Genuine question, but what’s unusable without Nitro? I don’t use Discord very often, and the only thing that I’ve seen Nitro pushed for is reactions from other communities, and that’s pointless anyway.
I haven’t used that module, but I’ve fixed some problems in the past by running npm install in the module’s folder, then either rebooting or restarting the MM software.
I don’t know whether it’s the mirror or the module that causes the problem, but that can help
Report them as malicious content 👍
Apparently they’ve fixed the Grapefruit launcher so that it works again. I haven’t tried it yet though, because it’s Roblox, and I can’t stand it.
Awesome, I’ll look into it, thanks :)
I didn’t know you could dim them automatically from Plex :o
How does it know what scene you want? If you walk in to a room and want to watch TV, you might want the lights to be dimmer than if you’re going to read a book, for example.
For selecting an album or movie to play, it’s easier to use a menu on a screen than to try to explain it verbally.
How? I can put on my best Captain Picard voice and say ‘Computer, play the album Insomniac by Green Day’ much faster and easier than I could pick up the remote, turn on the media player, scroll to music, scroll to G, find Green Day, scroll to Insomniac, and press play.
I’ve got Amazon devices (bought before I knew how bad both they and Amazon are), and they’re not great. Even with them, I can walk in to my living room in the night with my hands full and tell them to turn my chosen lights on, set the brightness and colour, start playing my chosen music, or turn the TV on and start playing certain media, all while I’m walking to my seat.
The only media that I can’t play is what I haven’t set up to use with Alexa yet, but that would be the same for any automation.
When I get around to it, I’m going to add either Plex or Jellyfin to my voice control setup, and hopefully be able to play anything from my library in the same way :)
You wake up one day with a bad headache, and bright light hurts your eyes. You can close the curtains, but every room is set to turn the lights on to the brightness that you usually prefer.
How do you manage something like this? Do you have to adjust everything with your phone and reset it when you feel better?
But where do you put the camera? If you’re sitting in front of the TV, then near the TV makes sense. What if you’re sitting facing a different direction with a book though? What if your hands are full?
A camera based system would be much more limited, and probably wouldn’t work in the dark.
I had the same. I installed it and realised that it had imported my Chrome bookmarks. I didn’t purposely choose that, so was pretty annoyed, but thought that maybe I’d missed a check box. When I realised that it had made itself my default too, I uninstalled it.
I reinstalled it a while back to try again and to test a website I was making, and after one update I launched it and it played a really loud sound. It was late at night and my kid was in bed in the room above me. Because I wasn’t expecting any sound, never mind anything that loud, I panicked and didn’t turn the volume down in time.
After I got my kid back to sleep I uninstalled Opera permanently.
Set up a DNS filter on your phone itself. I’ve got an Android phone and use AdGuard, but there are filters for the iPhone too 👍
Voyager can mark posts read on scroll, and hide read posts 👍
You could set that up on a lot of forums, you just had to select threaded view in the settings 👍
