@Frank Can you melt 3d prints back down into filament?
Because that would be cool
 
@SaintWacko With a recyclebot, sure.
 
@SaintWacko How do you handle sewage?
 
But any good ones cost lots of money.
 
@Yuuki It's pumped out over on the left side
Into the river near where it enters the ocean
 
Ah, so it's dumped into the ocean?
 
2:31 AM
@Unionhawk I'M NOT CRAZY
Also I loooove my Cobra
I completely decked it out for trading. IT's got 44 tons of cargo space. I was sitting at 2.1 mill before I shutdown for the night. The number of trading missions that cargo space opened up is great.
So before long I'll get my hands on my diamondback explorer. I'll deck that out too, and then go for a nice long deep space exploration trip.

@Wipqozn it's a solid ship, it's what the CMDR in Elite (1984) flew
CMDR Jameson or whatever
 
That's pretty fancy
 
Speaking of, I should log in and see where Workers Union is vs Omega Mining Corporation
They were at like 42/68 last night
 
I might tweek it over with a mining setup just to toy around with mining some. If I like it then I'll eventually build a ship dedicated to it.
 
And all the commies in the area have been pumping the donation missions
 
Oh also that reminds me, I unfroze the Elite room the other day

Q: What does this Dota 2 error mean?

Bucky I opened and ran Dota 2 earlier today with no issues. Now I'm getting this error.

 
Maybe I should buy an Imperial Eagle and park it somewhere for combat/bounties.
 
Technical question... The PS3 and PSP had "blue screens" which appeared when the settings got corrupted, and "red screens" that were displayed when the low-level firmware got corrupted.
Given that these are in multiple languages, it seems the routine for displaying these error screens is baked into ROM and therefore need to be simple images without any ability to accept input or determine the correct language.
This points to an error routine that is highly simplistic due to the very nature of the condition that would result in such errors, and by necessity only relies on the ability to draw static images on the screen. Am I right?

Q: Windows 10 Minecraft OP commands not working on realms

dustin cummingsToday I tried to play on a friends realm I help on that I was granted OP on and came to notice that no commands would work for me or anyone else granted OP. They only worked for the owner of said realm, he has de-oped us with no cure to the problem. Also another problem that when he tries to relo...

 
I would suppose the same is the case for Xbox 360 (and Xbox One) system errors, which contain, in multiple languages, the text "System Error. Contact Xbox Customer Support." This is slightly more sophisticated in that it has the ability to display a variable error code, but is still pretty simplistic in that the rest of the screen is a static image containing the error message in multiple languages.
Well, this is interesting... TIL the last part of an Xbox One system error code is an HRESULT value.
 
3:54 AM
ho-lee crap @Ronan and @fredley, look what I found in my imgur account:
 
0x80070005 means E_ACCESS_DENIED, "Access is denied."
(which is a pretty weird error to occur in a console... but then again, the Xbox One system software is built around a Windows 10-based core and Hyper-V virtualization)
FWIW it looks like the Xbox One S and Xbox One X have much more sophisticated low-level firmware which include an error handler that can display such system error codes on an interactive screen ("Something went wrong" or "Troubleshoot"). The same goes for the PS4, whose "Safe Mode" provides similar functionality.
In both cases, the low-level firmware is capable of reinstalling the system software even if the hard disk is corrupt.
Apparently... older Xbox One consoles originally running earlier versions of the software have had this low-level firmware updated to add this functionality.
 
4:42 AM
Again, Xbox 360 and PS3 only had the ability to display simplistic full-screen error images messages (Xbox 360 could overlay a variable error code, but that was about it).
Modern consoles have simple menus embedded in the firmware, but only to enable a reinstall of the OS (in addition to displaying system errors and validating/booting the OS itself).
In any case, very minimal functionality by necessity. The storage space for this firmware is on the order of several dozen megabytes at most, and it's not much different than the BIOS or UEFI firmware on a PC.

@Lazers2.0 The uploading of maps I dont think its illegal or related to piracy, but since the asker goes on and mention that the game is cracked, should be closed.
Also, isn't cs go free?

@Moacir It is, but you still need bandwidth to download it, and he doesn't have enough to do so
 
@Nzall I noticed it later. I have a bad habit of reading partially the things :/

@Nzall wait, it is? Since when?
 
@Chippies 06/12/2018 if I searched for the right terms
erm.. DD/MM/YYYY
 
@Moacir ah, so quite recent
I wonder if those who paid for it got anything in return
 
@Chippies Some kind of elite premium thing where you only queue against other elite premium owners
I think you get priority on queues or something
 
@Moacir ah, so basically an option to not queue with the f2p players
 
@Chippies Afaik yes. I do own CS:GO but didn't check after it went f2p

hm, apparently CS GO has a battle royale mode now? :O
I own CS:GO as well, but I don't play it, which is why I was surprised to hear it's f2p

Question: I just installed Git for Windows and am doing my first Add. I just did the default options. It gave a lot of warnings when adding files about turning LFs to CRLFs because one of the default options was to checkout LFs and commit CRLFs. This is normal and normally not an issue?
 
1:19 PM
That is not unusual
 
I think you usually want to do this the other way around, either convert CRLF on your computer to LF in the repository, or stay with LF on both sides. Unless you develop a Windows application, I would probably not commit CRLFs

Good choice
I can't decide on a single wallpaper because I've got too many good ones, so I download them into a folder and have it run on a slideshow
I now have 383 wallpapers
 
I haven't changed my wallpaper from the default in like 10 years because I never see the desktop, since I always have some window open full-screen.

is it even releasing on same date on steam?
 
@Chippies Oh, I thought it was for all plataforms
And yes
It is feb 1st on steam already
You just cannot buy it
My inability to read renders me a fool again
 
I just checked steam page (why does it keep logging me out on chrome...) and there is no pre-purchase button for me either
 
I am curious for pc price
 
3:54 PM
probably 10$ less than Switch price
although since it seems to be digital-only on Switch, the prices might be similar
physical adds ~10$ to the price and digital has to be priced same as physical on Nintendo games

> Google proposes changes to Chromium which would disable uBlock Origin
 
@Yuuki I hate the way people twist stuff like that. Some engineer makes a proposal in a design document to change an API for performance reasons, and everybody piles on about how this is some sort of conspiracy to destroy competition in the ad blocking extension space.
 
It literally says "proposes".
"Which would" doesn't mean "designed/intended to" either.
 
It says "Google proposes", as though this is some sort of official top down policy action
@Yuuki Also, I wasn't just talking about the headline but other commentary I've seen about this story
 
Ehhhhh I don't disagree completely but this is going to play out just like the audio and Material design stuff where people raise a lot of concerns and because Google has a specific direction in mind they're going to say "Ah, well, but what if we did it anyway"
 
You get one twist in the headline implying that this change comes from the company as an entity, instead of one engineer or team working on an open source project. And another twist when people read it and assume that is the intention.
 
4:22 PM
At what point do you delineate an individual's actions and a company's? Really, this proposal only matters if they decide to go through with it. And when they go through with it, it becomes an official policy action.
 
I suppose we will just have to see how this plays out, whether a company that has a web browser and also sells ads will move forward with such things or not. This is certainly not outside the realm of imagination.
 
So I don't see any "harm" in treating it as a company action, even if it currently isn't.
 
I don't think it matters what concerns come up until it happens or not
 
Speaking as an individual and not as someone with any direct knowledge, I would bet that this will get changed. My guess is that the design was written without awareness of the popularity of aspects of the API that would go away.
 
I would be surprised if they didn't have metrics for the usage
They usually do when deprecating other things
 
4:27 PM
@TimStone Metrics of which APIs are used, probably. Metrics of how APIs are used, less likely
 
well even so one would think that a high download count extension would boost the usage numbers a bit
10m+ users
 
@murgatroid99 Wouldn't a high usage of the API suggest a necessity to research the use cases?
I would buy the less-malicious explanation that the primary motivating factor is stopping bad extensions but also that's a Play Store problem 🤷‍♂️
 
Time for everyone to install pihole, I guess?
 
Reminds me of when they stopped supporting userscripts with "Ah, what if, and hear us out, screw you, make extensions and pay $5 to put them up"
 
(pity pihole is such a pain in the ass to set up)
 
4:40 PM
I get it, users can be coaxed into pretty much anything. But we should probably just shut down the internet for that >_>
 
@ToxicFrog Or you know, not use Chrome
 
I don't want to switch because I'm so familiar with the dev tools now but urgh
 
I use it only for development
 
I haven't tried using Firefox for a while but since it's much better now I probably should
 
Firefox’s new flexbox and grid dev tools are really good
Chrome has a better JS debugger, but I tend to avoid using it for various reasons
So Chrome’s performance tool is pretty much the only big thing missing for me
 
4:49 PM
I haven't used Firefox since they changed the the extension API and I could no longer use TabMixPlus. I should see if that's been updated and maybe switch back.
 
@ToxicFrog Last time I checked with @Ave, she didn't recommend pihole, as it wouldn't work as a good blocker (I wanted to block youtube ads)
 
5:04 PM
@ToxicFrog not only pain to set up, it's also a pain to manage (temporary disabling the block is a pain, can't disable for specific pages, etc)
and yeah, I don't think it works on youtube video ads
