You didn’t use the site editor to add the category? I’m a dumbo, please explain. 🙂
Where’s that Bonanza music gawn? 😛
What many say the cause of the blank Site Editor (we’re getting just one of the pages off the menu blank) theWordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) in Settings::General are a mismatch.
What the fields read initially was https://stearnvault.com, so modified the wp-config.php with an extra www in the relevant fields according to this post. No problem, until logging in again we got an error with https://www.www.stearnvault.com!
Fixed it again, but now there is in the greyed out fields the “www” in the https://www.stearnvault.com back (again?), great, but still has not fix the problem! 😛
The functions.php file hasn’t been changed since July, so it can’t be that.
WPBeginner talks about the Rest API, could that be an issue?

[DeVaultSetter]

Tried a hand at the MSN games Spades, the first thing was the old login is deprecated, now it’s either anonymous or only the MS account to login through FirebaseApp.
Fun, except the game screen won’t maximise in the browser and there’s a bug in the sound volume slider. The chat icons take a bit of getting used to as well.

[DeVaultSetter]

No worries, the theme update is in, too, so we’ll leave those rest awhile. 🙂
Couldn’t see the new category on the front page though, and something else really weird, go to:
https://stearnvault.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php
Select page from the left menu and get a blank page with a dark background. Do you get the same?

[DeVaultSetter]

Well, at least the government is showing signs of interest, else, if these don’t get an airing at all, the catchpenny gen pub will start freaking out about cover-ups! 😛
Rats, they lost the original film, would further analysis have revealed more? And -er- what are we to conclude if the deer hairs didn’t come from the suit? 😛

How did Wayward Pines go?
Don’t recall the original BBS client used in the early nineties – might have been MajorBBS. Navigation, economy, and ease of use got so much better with Blue Wave in the way it processed the quk and rep files. Hyperterminal also had its uses. 🙂
Over here, they are also referred to as SLOs, (Subaru Legacy Outback), perhaps for the next gen-ers “station wagon” sounds even more back_in_the_day. Would your mum be happier with stationary wagon while at rest, and mobile wagon when in motion?

No takers for an OddBlog category yet? Will need to compose a dissertation on something completely eye-bloggling before committing!
Meanwhile, WP 6.7 is begging the question of how firmly our feet are planted on the hamster wheel, twisting and turning in an attempt to hasten our arrival to the potentially poisoned chalice of upgrated creeping features? Sounds delicious, really!

[DeVaultSetter]

Which one made it to pole position?
Can stock folded, sad as was a subscriber. The Splashy image was purchased for a couple of bucks, presumably the rights to the image don’t change.

[DeVaultSetter]

A C++ job to emulate a cmd console when prompting for input might be fun as well, along with the additional “Proper” case task for an extra sugar hit? It’s possible an old Dossite can be convinced after all! 🙂
It’ll want testing, thus the next step is to cautiously broach the bounds of temerity of any willing tester over at AFKMods. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

They are fabulous, keep them coming in! 🙂
The visits per day to the site are more than expected – e.g. October 2024, are these mostly robots do you think?
Note that page is for the SSL cert, the one without shows a little less info, and a much smaller visit stat.

[DeVaultSetter]

Less furrowed brows and more crows’ feet!

Hmmm, there is also the Dashboard tab on the WP Toolkit page mentioned above. From memory we never addressed the Security and SSL/TLS issues as any changes might have affected the accessibility to OldSite and Family Tree. The irreversible security measures also contain an element of uncertainty leading to the onset of irreversible paranoia, something to be avoided at all costs! 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

No detailed or convincing explanation of how spice worked from memory, there was a short history of its use though.
The IMDB seems to be more “popularity” based, how would your average Joe react as opposed to yer regular discerning critic. The RT score for Extreme Measures is slightly below the IMDB score, as some parts of the film took on a rather shaky direction. Gene Hackmann vs. Hugh Grant went the way of chalk vs. cheese and the interplay of the goons in the plot lurched it back into the doldrums of B grade schlock. The building tension and dialog kept the movie afloat, just.

[DeVaultSetter]

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 editors, and note-taking apps, for example.

On Android, a double-tap or a long press on a word will select it in its entirety. But if you then want to select more words on either side of the first one, keep your finger pressed down and drag it around the screen. You can also tap and drag the blue handles that appear at the edge of selected text to extend the selection character by character.
….

When you select text, a pop-up menu will appear above it: Pick Select all from this menu (you may have to tap the three dots first) to highlight all the available text in a particular area. This might include all the text in a chat message, a field on a web form, or an entire document. This pop-up menu also gives you access to Copy and Share options you can use to move the text somewhere else.

A little involved perhaps, is that what you do?

[DeVaultSetter]

It’s a good idea to use driving sims, nothing beats a good instructor equipped with patience and a sense of humour. Learning to drive in a rural or semi-rural location works better for many. 🙂
How ingenious, it’s wonderful. 🙂 Put that on youtube for an appreciative reaction from a wider audience. 🙂

[Moved from Software …]
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 Bus:Device:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
Primary Device Name:PCI\VEN_1987&DEV_5019&SUBSYS_50191987&REV_01
Secondary Device Name:

Might also be related to the recent Intel firmware upgrade, so we’ll just have to sit back to see how this evolves. 🙂

Edit: With all this blah-hoo regarding specifications, all you get from Windows is some error occurred. When these devices report an error, it usually filters through as just an “error”. Sure, the more error checking there is, the slower the system is, and the more wear on the H/W, can we at least get a little more breakdown i.e. parity (R/W), CRC (dust & heat) or a tiny hint of any SMART errors?
Apparently a SMART test is run each boot, no problems so far – at least as far as the percent reliability of SMART permits it. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

From the way it was worded one can imagine the new chargers magically detect whether the device is “compatible” or not and charge accordingly. No? Oh well, just another one for the disappointments rack.
Can always select one word and copy/paste it, the code doesn’t present a way of selecting a group of words (at least with finger swiping), unless there is a trick.
The battery drain on this one is still significant when used more frequently.

Is it possible the new chargers that claim fast charging with compatible devices can wreck the batteries on very old phones?
The old tablet had the power button just around to the right of the micro USB outlet, which made disconnecting with the left hand and powering off with the right quick and easy, the A8 has the power on switch on the left and at the other end, really good for two left hands.
Still searching for a way to select, copy and paste text from these forums, at the moment it all makes like an impervious WOT. :p

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

[DeVaultSetter]

Do folks actually know how much this GPU driver contention is clogging up the internet? Almost 1.5 gb a pop now, and going up. 🙁
Heck no, the HP forums setup, the Welcome page with no banter or chatty sections leave a rather chill wind blowing through the topics. If the moderators aren’t androids, they are more likely descendants of the Children of the Damned, aliens from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or the Silence from Dr.Who.

Suggestions please. 🙂
Thanks, will try to make it fun, and shore up the good cheer, as it’s a visit to a sister with failing health. 🙁
Still have the S8, it’s been in use for at least 18 months now, operation is rather smooth, wants more delving under the hood. And time enough for a couple of personal gripes to have emerged, so off to post at the thread. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

The HP is fine at the moment, although the poor old SSD has been getting a workout. It’s just the folks at the forums come off as a bit weird – did we say folks – androids then. 😛
Taking Mum in the car for a trip up to Sydney on Monday, returning late Thursday. In the hope of a boost to extra character attributes during the journey, will be armed and ready with a shiny and not so new tablet! 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Look, yeah I know it’s horrible when there is tension with the neighbours, especially when they don’t give a crap. Got a feeling these folks do, but not much of one, so tread lightly!

Dinosaur eggs, keep cool!

I’m uploading the batch rename script, which requires formatting and tidying if you’re interested. Will get up a thread shortly.
Yeah, there’s the election – to perchance dream of electric sheep in wolves’ clothing? That brings up a horrid torrid topic: should androids be allowed voting rights for their own android leaders? Definitely underthinking!
Overthinking followed by underthinking followed by overthinking followed by underthinking in a nice sinusoidal progression is almost … musical. 😛
