    What I do is long press and then drag the two cursors around the text I want to copy. Doing select all usually selects everything, including stuff outside the articles. Do you get the cursors to drag around?

    Okay, so found this:

    Selecting text on Android and iOS
    When it comes to text selection, you’ll notice some variation on smartphones, because different operating systems may not allow app developers to enable text selection features in the same way. But these techniques should work smoothly in the most common apps, like web browsers, document e…

    Not sure how many do but it’s possible using digital circuitry elements. Would be careful, though. I do know my old phone heats up a lot when using the charger it came with and it does support fast charging. Granted, it’s ancient at this point so that may have something to do with it. 🙂

    Weird. Have no issues over here. Which browser are you…[Read more]

    Was digging through the horror section on PlutoTV the other day and this one near the bottom caught my eye. No idea how they sort the categories but it was pretty good! Interestingly, the RT score is 90% but the IMDB score is close to 50-60%. Granted, they use different metrics but still interesting 🙂

    Got a WHEA uncorrectable bugcheck – looks like it points to the Standard NVM Express Controller of the newish (PCI connected) SSD. After booting the event log showed this:

    A fatal hardware error has occurred.

    Component: PCI Express Endpoint
    Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)

    Primary Bus:Device:Function: 0x1:0x0:0x0
    Secondary…

    I kind of miss the simplicity of Usenet and the BBS boards. Had access to some of them twenty years ago when Bellsouth was hosting them. Hard to beat a simple mailing list like browsing but with better organization.

    Other than a few books on the wait list, I’ve pretty much run out of science fiction from the library. At least, space opera. So I’m moving to horror books now. Wish me luck!

    From the way it was woeded one can imagine the new chargers magically detect whether the device is “compat8ble” and charge accoringly. No? Oh well, just another one for the d8sappointments rack.

  • And another one came in: City Car Driving. It has VR support, which the other two do not, but its wheel support isn’t as extensive according to the reviews but it definitely warrants some additional research to see which one of the three programs is best suited to me 🙂

    More than likely. A higher power input means more heat if the battery can’t absorb it all so you want a charger with a lower power for those devices. Don’t remember seeing power tolerances on spec-sheets like we have for humidity and temperature, which seems like an oversight since we have chargers of several power ratings. There are some that…[Read more]

  • Put out a holler on Reddit and the peeps over there also suggested taking a look at Euro Truck Simulator 2 so I’ll add it to the list. May have me on the wrong side of the road, though 😛

  • Sorry! I mean CPU controlled cars other than mine. The patterns don’t need to be realistic, just need some moving obstacles to practice on. 🙂

    Thanks! Will give that a go 🙂

    The old tablet had the power button just around to the right of the micro USB outlet, which made diconnecting with the left hand and powering off with the right quick and eqsy, the A8 has the power on switch on the left and at the other end, really good for two left hands.

  • What’s an ambient car?
    How annoying, maybe scanreg.exe or another reg cleaner?

  • BeamNG Drive looks like it may be a better sim than Rigs of Rods and shares many of the same devs. I think it has ambient cars but need to make sure. Tried Rigs and, while okay, it is missing some features I need for a good practice sim

  • The stuck entry doesn’t appear in the registry at that location. Wish we had a proper search function for the registry. The find option just isn’t cutting it!

    That’s a lot of whitespace! Better view would have the search bar next to the menu options like that. Assuming it’s using some sort of XML based layout (among others), they could do that…[Read more]

    Still need to log in to GitHub but a C++ version doesn’t appear to be too difficult with few dependencies, especially with the filesystem library being added circa 2018. May take a stab at it and see if things start coming back to me as it’s been a good while since I did coding and I have been in the mood for more than just thinking up algorithms.…[Read more]

    This is for games that run on Unix and SteamDeck system, see Arthmoor’s post.
    Repo is no more or less currently resident at UpperLowerProper. 🙂

    So I know you’ve been pestering me to watch Wayward Pines. Since I can’t get it on the services I subscribe to, I decided to read it instead!

    Also, happy Halloween!
