Tvorsk

just frustrated, don't mind me
multiple "would take 1-2 weeks each if I could focus exclusively on this" tasks about which VIPs push daily asking why not done
a handful of "I half-assed this because of all the priority-interrupts, must fix/finish before things fall apart" things known only to me
at least two new tech trash fires to emergency deal with right now everyday
not even gonna try to count other "overdue" tasks at work
multiple coworkers wanting advice for home/personal crap
an off-work project I made the huge mistake of committing into
an everyone-frutstrates-everyone situation at home
nearly all online chatting / emails / etc giving me a meltdown resulting in things falling apart
Feels like a variant of the dril candles tweet, and I'm sure that any advice you'd offer would have to get a "NO thanks, but that's not an option" reply as well
Happy weekend to those of you who will have a chance to enjoy it

@npub1c5u…sr87 Knowing the various other power-input crimes done by electronic musical instrument makers, I'm sure they're already taking notes of your post and sending change requests to manufacturing...

@npub1ulw…klhy Wow! Super cute, super well animated... the little nuzzly squishes after the big one, those more subtle inertia wiggles on the first turn of the face followed by the big spinny wiggly muzz at the end... that's just such fantastic care to make it look exquisitely soft-and-squishy!

@npub15hj…jgmk Y'know, I'm not sure how to describe it but this pose plus facial expression together really have A Vibe™.
(Also, great example of winter fluffbarrel mode.)

@npub1kvx…2yu8 Ah, that's great to hear! :)
I guess it's a bit of a personality thing then where he just remains more cautious about humans. Or bad memories from someone else's yard.

@npub1kvx…2yu8 Well that's an interesting development. They seemed to avoid each other for so long...

@npub157q…e80g At one place in the past I had to homebrew a software setup that detected unauthorized swaps of parts by serial number because workers would break stuff at their workplace and steal components from someone else's.
It was a late nuclear effort step in the war, earlier the guys swapped screws to security torx but workers started to smuggle in matching driver bits.
The real bizarre part tho - workers were not being punished for the breakages and maintenance was available to install spares round the clock.
So there was basically no reason for them to do all this down low shady stuff.
And yet, they did.

@npub157q…e80g ... Yikes. Huge yikes. Almost as huge as this problem.
And sadly, relatable across any and every support/maintenance team ever. :(
Good luck!

@npub1jvr…8tkt I think you can squeeze by on a relevant technicality?
They're worried of the metalized flying kind, I don't think you can accidentally short circuit the overhead lines...

So. Been using ConnectBot since like, forever.
Is there any better FOSS ssh client for Android that you could recommend for me to try, dear reader?

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub1j8u…7l2v @npub1k9a…m3yh Not claiming a drop of expertise here. But from stuff overheard on the internet and elsewhere, Nissan & a few others were all installing CVTs from the same Japan plant and which were extremely fragile.
And that in turn dropped the CVT "reputation" as a whole technology, especially in the US, despite it not being inherent to the technology itself, and other factories' designs being way more reliable.

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub1j8u…7l2v The counter-stupid part is carbrain™ customers complaining how "it doesn't sound/feel right that when they step on gas the rpms don't jump back and forth as the gears shift, it's creepy weird that it just sounds the same".

@npub1ufm…qhp4 @npub1j8u…7l2v They do the dumb thing of "emulating" gear steps for sports-mode manual control, but I never heard of one that would let you slide along the scale trombone style. This should be a thing.

@npub157q…e80g Well, hecq!
Glad to accidentally guide you in a useful direction! :)
(And, frankly, consider me shocked that something that still calls itself a flavor of VNC isn't horribly laggy and failing to update tiles all the time.)

@npub157q…e80g I often use SCRCPY*, but that's over cable to a PC.
I know there's a teamviewer agent for android, and of course many MDM suites offer remote control, but usually console is on a PC (and teamviewer in particular is both expensive, and a very not-deserving-one's-support company).
But, it means the possibility is there, so I hope a more useful tool exists and you can find it. :)
* not fitting your usecase but in any case - look for a github link, just found out someone bought a spam-site under the name :(

Oh, I wouldn't even know it's a thingif I wouldn't have some acquaintances who are neck deep into photography and can (occasionally) afford nicer tools/toys [cross out as appropriate]. The only SLR I own is lacking the D and haven't seen a job in way too many years. :)
Tbh though... sounds like the economy version of that solution could be a phone camera app supporting remote control using another phone...?

@npub157q…e80g
Ah argh, so part of the situation is also the camera being much more sensitive to LED light vs what can be seen in the wild?
That's never any fun to adjust for, and triple so when alone and on timer / remote. :(
I heard these days some top-end DSLRs have an internal wifi AP which you can use with a phone app for remote preview and settings tweaking, but that's crazy expensive, niche, and I bet still less convenient than it sounds, considering their track record with UI/UX design...

@npub157q…e80g @npub158y…s3ah I'd agree here, brightness adjustment would be a great addon.
I think in some cases going this fullbright works good - bright day, dancefloor full of other lights, and so on - but in a situation like this photo it's a bit overwhelming.
