I think it is, at least partially, it seems to work well though.

I used my work address, the other info they already have and the phone number wasn’t mandatory.

They do say they will delete it after shipping so I doubt it’s an issue. I don’t trust Microsoft but I also don’t think they’d be as blatant as to explicitly state they will do that and then bombard you with marketing.

I don’t get any marketing junk at work so I’ll soon know if that’s what they’ve done!

Very odd. I’ve ordered one to see what happens!

I’m not sure if it works the same way, but Google Wallet uses a virtual card number as well as needing the phone unlocked. There a layer of obfuscation over using a contactless card, that I like.

Yeah, it’s a Canon scanner (can’t remember the model of the top of my head), a lot of the listings I saw for it were missing the APS part so maybe it was an optional extra?

They are mounted in the scanner cartridge and then the scanner takes care of advancing through them - or maybe it was manual. I can’t remember now!

I had more rolls of APS than I thought, quite cool as you get the full frame rather than what was selected on the camera, so you see bits that were hidden for years.

Edit fs2710 - just looked in the metadata!

I did the same with my own photos during the lockdown years. Started by scanning physical photos, then got hold of any old negative scanner which supported APS. I’ve scanned everything except I seem to be missing one of my APS negative cartridges. I now can’t get rid of my negative scanner because I know I’ll find that missing cartridge as soon as I do. I also can’t do much with the old PC as it’s the only full size one which will take the SCSI card that I have.

I bought some old computer speakers from a local charity shop - £1.50 without an adaptor (or maybe it has a European adaptor - can’t remember). Didn’t notice until I got it home. Looked in my box … Oh, that’s exactly the right one. Done!

In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest “pls”.

+1 for NetSurf, I wrote the Amiga GUI for that.

Still directs it to provide the “correct” answer though, so does the job.

Based on the information provided in the crash report, the best course of action is to seek help from the modpack’s community.

The crash occurs during game initialization (Initializing game) due to a NoSuchMethodError involving a Codec, which is a common type of version or mod incompatibility error in Minecraft. However, the report contains a specific instruction.

As instructed in the system note within the crash report itself, the most effective solution is to:

Ask for help from real humans on the modpack’s official Discord server.

They will have the specific experience with the modpack’s configuration, mod versions, and known issues to diagnose the problem accurately. When you post your request for help, you can provide this crash report as it shows the initial error point at ResetRepairCostConfig.java:47 in the Grind Enchantments mod.

This is the recommended and safest way to resolve your issue.

Yeah, you need a sudo in front of it otherwise it won’t work.

Maybe the Android Authority one mentioned as the source in the article? https://www.androidauthority.com/android-17-app-lock-notifications-rumor-3630983/

I think it’s the same issue when watching any content from abroad. You need a broadcaster or streamer that operates in your country to pick up the rights.

When we were in the EU there was some discussion about using subscriptions from other EU countries, although I don’t remember how much that extended to BBC content. Not that it’s relevant now anyway.

PS you could DX it OTA from the North coast.

Tado does temperature modulation through OpenTherm or manufacturer specific EMS. In the UK the older V3 models didn’t support it though (for reasons I didn’t fully comprehend, ended up getting an Extension Kit off eBay which does support it), I think Tado X is less of a minefield in that department.

I believe you can set a limit on the Leaf so it will stop when it reaches it (I don’t have one, but that’s what I’ve heard)

33k miles is nothing on an EV. The batteries don’t fail, although they do degrade. Try to keep within 20-80% to reduce this. I’ve not heard of any quirks with the Leafs. Go for it, you won’t regret it!

Smaller = cheaper to make, less space needed for storage, etc. They also look thicker, so might be more robust. I’d be surprised if any record player couldn’t play 45 rpm, the reason for 33⅓ will be because they are smaller they need to be slower to increase the playing time.

Evercade has the advantage of a huge software library to draw from (they have a few native games but the majority are emulated), whereas this will only run it’s own software, which puts it at a disadvantage.

Mind you, the Playdate seems to be going well.

I’ve been using a “high endurance” card. These are the only ones SanDisk will do their guarantee for if you use them in a Pi.

This is what you get through HomeKit, there’s a lot more from the cloud but if you just want to control or monitor the temperature it’s sufficient:
