No change at the AHK forums as yet, not really a big issue. Tried out a game over there created in V1, he said he derived much of his impetus from ChatGPT, looks this will become more of a thing in the future.
Somehow Co-Pilot got switched on in W11 here, and the bottom right minimise_all_windows area was turned off.
And something has happened to the mouse in that bottom right area – if approaching that area at moderate speed or greater, the cursor relocates to around an inch above the taskbar on the right. And the resolution of the second (TV) monitor was somehow set to 640X480. Pretty sure it wasn’t PrgLnch, since it hasn’t been launched for ages. 🫤

(Message to self: The bigpond address still has to be hidden in OldSite (explained here), as it continues to generate worrying spam, such as the DMARC issue at Whirlpool forum. Edit: Done)
Added a DMARC record to the account, with very relaxed settings, so to put us all at ease. With eyes agaze over the still wide sea into the deep, relaying horizon. 🙂

Thanks, all fine as long as it sticks, and stays stuck. 🙂
The emails in this tab are old, do we want them?

And another one, when we go, let’s all get prepped up for the big Welcome Party those Pesky Past Spirits will be throwing, and, horrors upon horrors, if no party, we’ll be doing the throwing! 😛

One of our favourite licorice mfgs have finally hit the ether, confectionary is a tough game, and the first cab off the block in tough times. Here the plan for a lucrative luscious licorice patch remains pre-liftoff- though with possible health benefits, a marketing approach is for a worldwide distribution of Likeable Licorice Health Balls- what’s in a name I hear you ask?
The photo of Arnie and statue still pops up all over the place, explained here.

Vaguely recall Night Game, standard fare for a storyline dappled with embellishments wrought into the pressing matter of that bad old killer being brought to account.
It’s generally accepted Rabbits have enjoyed hearty attention by film directors of the ages, scarce few of those have attempted such delicate and sensitive treatment of sheep as seen in Black Sheep. The gore alone would put most slashers out of business, and has not only put horror back into comedy, but comedy back into horror! And yep, comedy is a funny word when used to describe something you’re never going to laugh at. 😛

What’s changed with graphic drivers on Windows over the years then? 😛
Still on ver. 2022.1130 here, thought I updated by installing over- might have to perform a cold refresh. In any case it seems that HYPR-RX won’t be on for the poor old 550, with FPS maxing out at 300, so unable to test. Did notice the settings for Skyrim exactly matched the settings which I had just changed a minute ago, so the game profile info got nixed as well. 🙁
One redeeming feature is the drivers seem to tap into some of the monitor functions, except notably for view port monitor button twiddles. 🙂
Turned on the Display Overrides in Adrenalin after accepting the EULA, won’t let me turn it off again!

Since signing up, M365 has, if nothing else, been fairly thorough about vetting every email that goes through the system, more than once have items been pulled from Junk for submission to analysis for false flags. These emails originate from well known domains like Choice.com.au, Audacityteam.org, deviantart.com, there are others. Fine, until the emails from the same domains re-appear in junk a month or two down the track.
The other day, got a few of these domains suddenly popping in the Tenant Allow/Block Lists, great, so now we can proceed to whitelist them. Back in the days when things were “simple”, you could quickly blacklist and whitelist emails using programs lke SpamPal with consummate ease. Moving on in technology, things have advanced to something more like slow, tedious, complex, laborious, and rather unreliable. 🙁
Considering DMARC, so asked the question. 🙂

Just to add to the confusion, the above was posted before we actually installed Litespeed on the server. 😛
Aired a minor concern on their Backup procedure description, primarily for us attempting to make sense of the backup page at some later date. 🙂
Lately experiencing cPanel login session timeouts happening frequently in some (not all e.g. forums) cPanel pages/slugs, sent a request to the TPP support team, not sure if they will deal. If it is Litespeed, a possible workaround might be with cookie settings here.
A more straight-forward way is a modification to .htaccess suggested with this SO post, the values can be reduced to suit, /home/server is just the user root btw.
Edit: All of a sudden, the session timeout’s have reverted to default, how odd!

A MAD TV interlude:

[DeVaultSetter]

High energy on steroids! Wonderful. By stark contrast, this beauty from Confessions of a Dangerous Mind:

Ehm, back on track – have you encountered the Plasmatics’ rather zany crusade against the poor old CRT creations of the day? It’s well known that Plasmas didn’t really take off until the 90’s so was it uncanny clairvoyance or something else?

😀 Guaranteed to compel us flea-ing to all corners of the globe!
This old chestnut featured in Confessions of a Gong Show Tragic:
Q: Do you know what the difference is between toilet paper and a shower curtain?
A: Oh. So it’s you then.

[DeVaultSetter]

Might have seen it sometime pre-millennia, standard fare, Yvonne de Carlo could have insisted on a better direction perhaps, would there be any truth in suggesting that being Merman’s wife well and truly wore her out?
Not sure about Confessions of a Dangerous Mind either, there’s something in it that does not attract, perhaps the matter-of-fact dialog style – and the as-you-please or “laissez-faire” directorial approach. A pre-viewing requisite would be some knowledge of Chuck Barris, who compered the Gong Show. For redeeming features, a second (viewing) opinion is required, so one for the backburner. 🙂
Bill & Ted, for me the Beavis and Butthead of Sci-Fi fantasy- doesn’t quite fit, but there you go. Bogus Journey had a couple of gags including the seance scene:

[DeVaultSetter]

Lucky me, still have 5.1.1, got a boatload of default Apps to remove or trim down, before the fateful arrival of 6. 🙂
Unlucky, as the SIM for the new tablet won’t work, which means making arrangements for the presentation of this bare neck to the vampires of tech support! 😛

In preparing salads throughout winter, it’s probably a good idea to keep a pair of gloves handy. Take a look at Amazon’s list of hand/finger strengtheners such as Powergrip, although these things help, they are not a complete solution however.
In stretching the limits of Google-fu, came across the Hand and Wrist Institute’s guide to stretching the joints in (you guessed it) the hand and wrist. For extra cheer, feast your eyes on their list of common elbow/hand/wrist ailments, and be happy it isn’t you! 😛
Hopefully, there’s a similar outfit in Florida. 🙂
Here’s one for development: A theme park will want to offer “dream” services, such as was the case for the lucky visitors to Fantasy Island. The menu layout might include Rock Star for the day, Sports Hero, or even a high-up Government Official.

American Hustle is worth a look, loud blaring dialog, music and effects are de rigueur in making everything come across as more convincing, did note the nutritional reference in microwaving food, which, believe it or not, sparked a law suit.
Monster In Law came up with one or two memorable gags, plus a bonus surprise in the TV scene:

[DeVaultSetter]

Yeah, Taskbar Settings => Widgets, turn off, don’t use MS Widgets here much as heavily dependent on FTA state media news delivery. The default settings of the widget entails quite a bit of polling from news/weather servers, given some investment in time, you could get them to filter thing to taste. 🙂
Updated VS, but still to get something up on it.
Posting something new at the AHK site is weird, since there’s an hourglass on the tab/window for about 20-30 seconds after posting. Yet opening the same topic in another tab/window reveals it is already posted while the hourglass remains. Might be be something related to a Cloudflare setting, who knows?

Ooh, Galactus showed up on that page. Lovely, it’s very much like a Jack Kirby production:

Cool, the Indexed site sports an xkcd comics vibe to it, which makes sense as it launched just after, in 2006. Do identify with the conception of our measure of time, it’s possible the reverse can be true, things are trending to less complicated, well explained, and bundled with instruction manuals written in universal and easily decipherable languages such as Mathematics and Gravity!

[DeVaultSetter]

Well yes and no. 😛
Don’t have any subscribed topics but do get bubble notifications, e.g. no bubble for the last post of yours in this thread, but one for the post before that. Obviously an inconsistency somewhere.
No bubble notifications today in the plain forums, but on in the past they covered some of the threads posted on the day. Did someone mention before this may be related to the shared hosting arrangement?

[DeVaultSetter]

At SO, you can get various hats at various times of year based on activity, no wigs though. My contributions have waned in recent times, so not even a straw hat offered!
Cork Hat? 😛

Been under a slow moving train of thought entailing notifications are only for topics you start, and not for answers to replies you make in a topic, as we do not use threaded replies. Thusly, in the light of this oncoming revelation, do the bubble notifications work correctly for you?

[DeVaultSetter]

It’s in tomography, imaging scans are possible, is there much tech available for it?
You mean this?

Regardless of the very forgiving nature of Power Girl, the shop will still have to answer to Snowman!
There are heaps of posters available, even figurines, have you found any any larger than this one?
As well as the ages of the earth, quizzlings (not to be confused with quislings) must be knowledgeable on the atmospheric layers:

Gets warmer in the ozone layer, and again in the thermosphere!
