I learned something new today. Well.ca sells Diva discs at $35 CAD, and Diva International is a Canadian company (Kitchener ON).
Cheaper, still Canadian, disc not a cup, and just think of all the disposable waste and recurring costs she’ll save.
Just make sure she boils in water it to sterilize in between. Or whatever the directions say.
Not sure about tampons, but here’s a Canadian (Quebec) made cup in case it helps. https://fornix.ca/
Thanks for reminding me about Thievery Corporation. I used to listen to them along with Massive Attack, Hooverphonic, Morcheeba, etc back in more mellow times.
But also, a big thank you for highlighting Song.Link! I’ve been looking for a service like this for quite awhile.
For Canadians who may be concerned about data privacy, especially US-based companies that may be subject to giving access to the US government under the US Patriot Act and/or Cloud Act, it might be worth the time to write some politicians for action.
There’s PIPEDA for federal level, as mentioned in the article, and there’s municipal level too. Most major cities have by-laws that govern Vehicles-for-Hire.
I’m not sure what they can do about this issue, but it’s worth raising the concern with your councillor in addition to your MP.
Thanks, I hadn’t heard about this release. I am here for anything Bruce Campbell.
Related but unrelated, this reminded me of an old 80s movie, They Call Me Bruce.
A three-ply layered joke. Well done!
I always envisioned it was a speck of dust on the floor somewhere.
I love a good minimalism joke.
Reminds me of this short story from the early days of the internet.
Or maybe “blog post”, before we even called them that.
You can listen to the tracks, ad-free, get recommendations below the album listing (maybe other ways too), buy DRM-free and support the artists better than any streaming service would be willing to.
If you do go local library and are looking for recommendation algorithm, Apple Music (the app, not the streaming service) sells DRM-free as well and has the Genius function that will group songs based on similar preferences. However, I don’t believe it will pull in recommendations outside your own library. Worth checking.
With their “air conditioner fund” tip jar
lol I read somewhere that this is how you get an unfamiliar cat to befriend you. They want to smell up close. Try it out!
Here you go! https://lifehacker.com/befriend-a-cat-with-your-earwax-1529804717
Finger in your ear and then hold it out for him to smell.
I’m surprised nobody’s posted Fairytale of New York by The Pogues yet.
Also, Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses.
Wish You a Merry Christmas by Jacob Miller.
And A Very Chilly Christmas album by Chilly Gonzales.
Seems like it may have been the firmware after all. I updated it and it seems to maintain a consistent connection now.
Thanks for the tip. I think I just assumed the firmware was up-to-date when I dusted it off and connected it to the Deck last year.
But I looked into it, found the batch file script that’s out there now that Valve doesn’t support firmware updates directly anymore, and ran the last firmware on it.
I have been trying it out and so far so good. Thanks again!
I have mine still, dongle too, but it started constantly dropping the connection to the Steam Deck and I can’t figure out why.
Maybe this is how it dies, not with a bang but with a whimper.
No, it is not.
Yes! And I recommend Unread (iOS/macOS + Local/Cloud service)
Shortcut Trigger Source
Is there a way to know which app triggered the shortcut call?
For instance, if I share files from the Files app, I could reference something to see “Files” or “iCloud Drive”. When it’s Mail, I’d see “Mail”. Etc.
I am trying to have one universal shortcut for file input but I need to specialize some actions depending on the app that provided the files.
I checked “Shortcut Input” but there aren’t a lot of choices to evaluate. “File Path” is inconsistent in what it will show: executing from the Shortcuts app and picking a file will shows “iCloudDrive/FolderName/Filename.ext” but sharing from the Files app will just show the filename.ext. Sharing from Mail shows the file content.
Backup All Shortcuts
I found this nifty shortcut to backup all shortcuts. You can set it to an automation and do a rolling limited number of backups on a set schedule, like 10 zip files max, backed up weekly.
There’s a problem though. There’s an error on the Make Archive step.
I stripped the shortcut down to Get All Shortcuts, Make .zip of My Shortcuts. The error persists.
I’m not sure why it’s not working unless this is an existing Shortcuts bug at the moment.
Anyone know?
Multiple Apple Note Tags
Anyone know how to tag an Apple Note with multiple tags?
I can create the note, append to it, and tag it with a variable or straight text but I cannot figure how to add multiple tags.
I tried a list, dictionary values, comma separated, new lines. I even tried looping over Add Tag action with a single tag but everything results in an error on trying to tag multiple times to the note.
Let me know if you’ve figured it out!
EmulationStation Controller and Game-Specific Input Settings
I have an X-Arcade dual joystick that I’m trying to use with Arcade games via EmulationStation on the Steam Deck.
The joysticks work but I’m having two problems that I’m looking to solve. They should be universal problems, not just about this joystick unit, so I’m hoping someone here can guide me.
- How to set controller order within EmulationStation? I use a Steam Controller to navigate the Deck otherwise but have to turn it off when I start an arcade game or the X-Arcade won’t work. I think it’s the controller order I’ve read about but can’t see where to set this.
- How to set controller inputs for a specific game in EmulationStation? I see the input settings menu but I believe this overrides all games. I don’t see how I can bring up the old MAME menu for game specific inputs. Do I have to do this via config file in desktop mode instead?
The joystick unit has the PCB upgrade that allows X-input. I can see both joysticks as XBox 360. The deck is updated as of August 1st
