@Bob, only mildly so. People who already have a grasp of the basic concepts certainly won't get lost.
The way of the HNQ seems to rely upon mass appeal. I have been lucky enough to have two answers that were in an HNQ post. In contrast, the answer that I actually dedicated the most time/effort towards (as well as the only bounty I have received) only garnered a dozen up-votes.
The website may have special credentials only allowable from the university. On the other hand, sometimes there is a difference with http and https. If there is use of https, try taking the 's' off and use only the http; or visa versa. — ejbytes3 mins ago
wut.
"special credentials only allowable from the university" => it's eclipse.org
welp. Got myself a new fountain pen, a Pilot MR with fine nib. The US/Japan uses Pilot proprietary cartridges, but it does accept the CON-50 converter. Had a spare CON-50 on hand so used it and filled the pen with Sheaffer Skrip Jet Black.
Writes a very fine line, about EF or even EEF by Western nib standards, but this is to be expected with a Japanese nib. The nib has some tooth to it but is otherwise smooth. It lays a consistent line without skipping or flooding.
But now it's got to the point it's borderline pointless to buy new stuff cause summer is coming, but it's still unpredictable enough there'll be some freezing cold days that my current stuff isn't good enough for
@Run5k I think you're confused. Follow the arrows and re-read your own message...
@Run5k Yea... it annoys me when an answer ends up (unnecessarily) being "use a different browser/OS". Maybe it technically solves the problem but it's like using a bulldozer to extract a screw.
But my comment there probably wasn't particularly useful.
I will be assuming that you are using the FAT/FAT32 filesystem here, since you mention this is a SD card. NTFS and exFAT behave similarly with regards to allocation units. Other filesystems might be different, but they aren't supported on Windows anyway.
If you have a lot of small files, this is...
@Run5k Welcome to the peculiarities of the SU chat interface :-P
Anyhow, last few days I've realised I actually never use F1-F12 keys anymore...
Whereas I do regularly use brightness, volume control, GPU control, keyboard backlight controls, etc.
So yeah, I've gone over to the dark side, which I've hated so much all my life...
Now that I mention it, does anyone really still use F-keys anymore? Was there some sort of deliberate movement to phase them out or have they just passively gone out of fashion?
F6... dunno what that does, F7... dunno what that does, F8... I'm sure that does something... F9, F10, nah. F11 for fullscreen in browser? I use maybe once or twice a week
@Bob See I mostly game and web browse these days, so Alt+F4 is quite rare. Mostly I use Ctrl+W since tabs
That said the Dell keyboard is smart enough that when I press Alt+F4 with the F-keys in Fn mode, it still does a normal Alt+F4 instead of Alt volume down
Every other time I just hit it by accident and wonder why my scrolling has gone so weird
FRAPS normally binds to F-something to move the FPS display but I've re-bound that to ` anyway because whatever key it was was also the quicksave/quickload key in some game I used to play
Ah dammit the more I talk about never using F-keys the more I realise just how much I use F-keys
Guess I'll be going to BIOS soon whenever I start playing KSP again
@Bob I don't think any of the games I currently play have in-game consoles
But yeah, in the old FPS days that'd have been a pain
Mind you my laptop has a row of 3x5 customizeable macro keys I could probably assign to some non-ASCII characters for things like toggling FRAPS without using up any keyboard keys
Be aware that Postscript names are intended for the use of FONT AUTHORS. What you are asking is 'how do we change the font file Postscript name': this name is the internal name used used by the font 'file' (which is actually an 'application') to name the font file for Windows Explorer, Mac Finder...

I assigned a macro key to type the poop emoji, but whenever I press the key in Chrome it just comes up with ??. But when I press the key in FRAPS' set hotkey thing it comes up as U, but isn't an actual letter U
U
That looks like a U right?
🍕
Hmm, so the pizza emoji shows up as "E" in fraps but is also triggered by the poop emoji
Not sure what's going on but it appears to not be unicode/emoji ready -_-
Urgh, the macro manager on this Alienware is worse than the Logitech one from 10 years ago. You can't manually add or edit timings, though you can record them.
I don't have encountered a laptop without a numpad yet, but I take your word for it.
I see a few options right now:
Buy a standalone USB numpad. Careful, though, as some just send the regular number key scancodes and thus cannot be used as a numpad for this purpose.
Create your own keyboard la...
Seems that AHK is the recommendation that comes up all over the place
I have bought a brand new hard drive (HGST HTS721010A9E630) for my laptop and it's making a buzzing sound if the laptop is tilted. The more aggressive the tilting speed, the louder the sound. When the laptop is static, the drive sounds normal. The buzzing itself is like sound a small hair trimmer...
Fraps doesn't seem to like my macro keypad though, I think it might be recognizing the underlying raw keycodes (is that what JMG meant with the Razer using them internally?)
Basically when I press macro key 1, FRAPS shows an 'E' that isn't an 'E', then the macro sequence I assigned to that key. If I press key 5, it shows a 'U' which isn't a U, etc.
So yeah, the macro keys may be running some of its own AHK like sequence that sends some scancode then the application replaces that with whatever you assigned.
@JourneymanGeek I suspect this Alienware macro keyboard does the same
Which is shit.
My old Logitech mouse from 10 years ago was better -_-
My old Logitech mouse was awesome, it showed as a hardware keyboard and Windows saw physical keypresses coming from it when it ran the macro you assigned
As for extra mouse buttons, most modern games and many desktop applications support five mouse buttons (Back as M4, Forward as M5) but any more are usually proprietary.
You could move it to any other comptuer, plug it in, press a button, and get a string of keystrokes typed on a physical keyboard input into said computer
It was a great mouse, I probably should have stayed with it. But I was working full-time, and still living with my parents so I insta-purchased the Razer Mamba when it first released.
It's the completely self-contained, portable macro functionality which I loved. Instead of new tab => open student records page => go to text box 4 => enter search type => go to text box 7 => Enter some obnoxious filter parameter code %S%D--M%NNN%03 => click next, it was just
I think the subsequent model of my mouse had the option of storing 3 different profiles on the mouse itself and switching between them again, self contained, without needing the software
But now you have to install their stupid utility to use any of the extra buttons on the new mice. Although at least it auto-installs itself on Windows somehow
Unlock your CPU Potential! How high can you go? Intel i5? Psssh! With CPU Level Up, the sky is the limit! How about you level that i5 up! i7? i9? i11? Can it go any higher?!!!
So Samsung needs to be boycotted; their plans to recycle their S7 is to resell them to customers in regions where the government doesn't care if phones explode, haha
Alright well; the phones did explode, and were recalled, and there not going to be sold in the EU or the US; so I find it interesting that Samsung plans to resell the phones on regions where the phone isn't basically banned.
@Ramhound Which does not equate to the phone actually being banned altogether. And IIRC their only requirement was that it not be switched on in-flight, which (apart from being pointless) isn't much different from general phone restrictions just a few years ago.
And considering there's no issue with the rest of the hardware (e.g. charge controller is fine), there's really nothing wrong there.
The only reason it's refurbished is cause the hardware technically was pre-owned/pre-used.
They can't sell it as new, legally.
Anyway. Actual issue IIRC was defective battery design by Samsung SDI (battery subsidiary, largely independent of Samsung Electronics) initially, where there was too much stress on a corner. Then the second batch from ATL (completely unrelated company) had poor welding on the contacts (?).
Basically... a whole lot of bad luck. Especially with that second batch.
At the end of the day, that meant the batteries were somewhat riskier than usual, but there's certainly no guarantee that they'll fail.
The whole larger/smaller battery thing is ... interesting
Considering the S7 Edge actually has a higher capacity battery. But idk the relative densities
I know, about the battery, I just stop tracking it after TSA banned them :-) but I admit re last update was Samsung was on its second attempt to root cause analysis the issue.
