Q: How to connect the audio to a separate speaker?

I'm trying to figure out how to get the audio from Live TV to a separate speaker. I've got the HDMI-out from the xbox going to a projector instead of a TV and the projector's built-in audio sucks. I've got a decent bluetooth speaker with a 3.5 mm audio-in jack that I'd like to use. The xbox ha...

Q: Invite friends through steam to a non-steam game

I have added a game (Bloons TD 5) as a non-steam game and I was wondering is it possible to invite friends to play with you? Is there anyway you can make the game use that steam overlay? I've sold my other steam account with the game bought but I don't want to spend money on it again. Thanks in a...

@GodEmperorDune Simple Skinner box is usually enough to please most people.

Or at the very least, distract them for a few minutes.

I also doubt most people playing Pokemon Go play it religiously.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki someone out there is buying ingame stuff

Yuuki

More like pull it out every few hours to see if there's something interesting and putting it away.

GodEmperorDune

which i don't think you would do if you were very casual

Yuuki

I honestly don't think whales are all that interested in game mechanics.

Q: How do you find out which wargoals your allies want?

I am trying to invite a potential ally into a war. On the invite attackers screen it says that they would be willing to join in exchange for a share of the spoils. However, I cannot figure out what they want in exchange for joining the war. Is there a way to find out?

@SaintWacko Do you have actual facts to prove it? Not just your personal opinion (which is usually the case when something is stated as "obvious" without proof, in my experience). Y'know, causality chain with proof, like polls that show specific people changing their voting behavior for specific reasons.

Kevin van der Velden

Well that's pretty random

@DVK-in-Florida also: thehill.com/policy/national-security/…

DVK-in-Florida

@SaintWacko Well, D'uh. That's normal human behavior. Do I really need to quote Winston Churchill to you?

DVK-in-Florida

@KevinvanderVelden Which part of "polls that show specific people changing their voting behavior for specific reasons" was covered by that link?.

Kevin van der Velden

> It's pretty obvious that Russia affected the results of the election

That's the bit you were replying to and as such which I was talking about

DVK-in-Florida

@KevinvanderVelden One more time, "obvious" without evidence is usually a sign of being wrong. People who have evidence don't say "obvious", they just show evidence.

Kevin van der Velden

@DVK-in-Florida do you not trust the department of homeland security and the fbi?

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden or the rest of the national security agencies?

DVK-in-Florida

20:36

@KevinvanderVelden The claim isn't that Russians hacked stuff. It's that said hacking influenced the election. Which is a whole different kettle of fish to prove.

Kevin van der Velden

Also, may I note. You were the person randomly barging in on a 10 minute old message

GodEmperorDune

@DVK-in-Florida how often did breitbart post something related to wikileaks?

Kevin van der Velden

Or, like, an hour old. Same thing

GodEmperorDune

how often did trump mention something related to wikileaks in his speeches?

DVK-in-Florida

@GodEmperorDune Are you saying there's a large group of people who would have voted for Clinton, but at the last moment, swayed by Breitbart article, decided to vote Trump? Because that seems... unlikely shall we say? Clinton voters don't actually tend to read Breitbart.

@DVK-in-Florida i don't think it was one big thing that swayed them, more of a slow drip of stories over months

@KazWolfe well, define back. He's never been in this room before

Kaz Wolfe

@KevinvanderVelden back on SE.

DVK-in-Florida

@GodEmperorDune You can think all you want. You need to PROVE it. With actual polls/surveys. Specifically attributing voter intent change to the specific leaks attributed to Russian hacking.

Kevin van der Velden

20:40

Well, I'm gonna ignore the troll now

GodEmperorDune

@DVK-in-Florida i don't need to prove anything

i don't need to prove that there isn't a tea kettle sitting in orbit

DVK-in-Florida

@GodEmperorDune So, you concede that you have no evidence whatsoever other than your theories.

BTW, if you actually paid attention, most of the really negative stuff was about Sanders' primary as far as leaked emails. So, what your claim seems to boil down to "people who liked Sanders were so unhappy with shenanigans uncovered, that they decided Trump is better than Clinton". Knowing some actual Sanders supporters, I find that exceedingly unlikely.

RedRiderX

@TimStone Wait what is that about?

SaintWacko

@arda It's funny going to the pebble-dev wiki and seeing your name there

Kaz Wolfe

@SaintWacko It's sad seeing pebble die to the likes of Fitbit. :(

Tim Stone

20:48

@RedRiderX Putin declining to react to the expulsion of his intelligence operatives because he's counting on Trump to walk that back once in office, and Trump basically praising him for it

arda

@SaintWacko :+1:

@KazWolfe Fitbit didn't kill pebble, it saved it

SaintWacko

@arda I'm not sure saved is the right word, but Pebble's death wasn't Fitbit's fault

Kaz Wolfe

@arda I'll agree with you once I see fitbit make a nice looking watch using an improved version of the Pebble OS.

SaintWacko

It definitely didn't save it

Kaz Wolfe

That doesn't spy on everything I do fitness-related and sell it to people.

arda

20:50

@SaintWacko it kept the stuff running and gave jobs to a notable amount of pebble employees, which is much more than what they had responsibility to do

Kaz Wolfe

which is one of the reasons I liked pebble. I know how un-fit I am. I just wanted a cool smartwatch with an awesome developer API.

arda

Yup

Yuuki

@TimStone Whereas I think the Obama strategy is also counting on Trump to do that to mount more evidence that Trump is in the pocket of the Russians.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki i don't think they're that craven

it's more of a "dammit Trump, you can't hand wave this away" kind of thing to me

SaintWacko

@arda Yeah, but Pebble is dead. Pebble is not saved

arda

20:54

@SaintWacko Yeah

KutuluMike

I thought someone was forking Pebble?

SaintWacko

@KutuluMike Pebble has already been thoroughly forked

arda

@KutuluMike 0ws.pw/PebbleArchive

@SaintWacko ps. which page?

SaintWacko

@arda github.com/pebble-dev/wiki/wiki/Hardware-%26-Firmware

My work is interested in getting the guys on the shop floor using smartwatches

They're looking at Apple watches, which is a stupid use of capital

So I'm sorta looking into writing custom firmware for a Pebble

I think Pebbles make a lot more sense on a shop floor than an apple watch

arda

I think some companies already use it

Custom firmware may be overkill but you can simply write an app

GodEmperorDune

21:00

@SaintWacko apple watch would also require them to use iphones, wouldn't it?

GnomeSlice

@KevinvanderVelden Who's trolling

Kaz Wolfe

@GodEmperorDune right.

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune Yeah

@arda Yeah, that too

GodEmperorDune

so is the pebble hardware no longer available? or provided by third parties now that pebble has gone under?

Kaz Wolfe

rebble.io

Isn't Rebble leading the custom firmware/app charge?

@GodEmperorDune hardware is no longer being made. All the pebbles in the wild are all that ever will be.

GodEmperorDune

21:04

@KazWolfe a business won't like that

Kaz Wolfe

@GodEmperorDune the business is dead. Pebble is no more.

GodEmperorDune

@KazWolfe i mean @SaintWacko's company

Kaz Wolfe

oh. yeah, that is true.

but until another company makes a pebble-like product, there isn't really much choice.

GodEmperorDune

from a business continuity standpoint, the fact that you would make a new process based on hardware that is no longer produced is a huge risk

Kaz Wolfe

And unless Fitbit surprises us all and releases a very nice watch without all of the fitness junk and datamining of customers, we're gonna have to wait a while.

GodEmperorDune

21:06

i'm surprised microsoft doesn't have some sort of enterprise watch offering

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune I approve

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, that would be the only problem

Apple watch is just a terrible choice, though

It's way more expensive, and fragile

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko what about the android watch?

Kaz Wolfe

@GodEmperorDune which one?

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune They have some of the same problems

They're not as expensive, but not as cheap as Pebble

Kaz Wolfe

21:09

Kevin van der Velden

SaintWacko

Kevin van der Velden

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko it's flagged and probably deleted by now

SaintWacko

21:12

@GodEmperorDune Ah, okay

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko are they absolutely set on having it as a watch? i've heard there are some rugged tablet things that are designed to handle dust and vibration and the like

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune I'm not even sure what they want them for

This company tries to be super advanced and ahead of the times

So I think they mostly want to be able to show off to customers the fancy tech on all the workers

It's big fancy screens out in the shop which display all jobs currently being worked on

GodEmperorDune

if its a marketingy type thing, maybe apple watch is the best because it looks the prettiest

SaintWacko

I'm working on changing it so it's actually useful for the guys out on the floor, rather than just looking good for management and visitors

@GodEmperorDune That's a point

Kaz Wolfe

@GodEmperorDune until everybody needs to buy an iPhone because some people don't have them.

GodEmperorDune

@KazWolfe they don't have to be functional, they just have to look cool

Kaz Wolfe

@GodEmperorDune Pip-Boys.

GodEmperorDune

21:15

@KazWolfe yusss i would apply to work @SaintWacko's company if i could wear a pip boy

SaintWacko

@KazWolfe That would be perfect :P

Super sturdy

Kaz Wolfe

so wait... pebbles were the pipboys if fallout went all our timeline.

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko without knowing exactly what the work floor does, i'd worry that some of this stuff wouldn't meet OSHA regulations

like stuff that could get caught in machinery is no bueno

but pip boys would be super badass

@SaintWacko a good tactic is to have one screen display the managementy stuff and the others display the useful things

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune There's an entire management interface that they access on their computers

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko a previous place i worked set up a dedicated computer in one of the exec's office JUST to display a management dashboard

the best part of it was that the dashboard wasn't real time, it was based on the previous day's reporting database sync

SaintWacko

Ours are realtime

They're each running on one of those little Dell computers

When I equip my squad and say use "Make weapon available", it resets EVERYTHING on my squad, both armor and utilities. Seems like all "make items available" buttons do this and it's highly annoying. It means I have to equip my squad several times before I'm done. Anyone had this?
