We connect directly via IP at my friend’s house and only we are on the server, so no worries of griefers or internet randos.
Just in case you haven’t already, set up a whitelist. I’ve got a server running the same way, and I regularly get people trying to connect. I’ve also set up the firewall and blocked known scanners, but still get a few attempts.
And the ‘I said what I said’ and ‘Fact!’ dipshits.
It does back them up, but the restore seems to be broken. I had the same settings reset last night, and tried restoring a backup with some luck, but some missing settings, so set everything up again and did a backup. I tried restoring the new backup to see if I got any sort of confirmation, but there was nothing.
I tried restoring the backup on my PC, but it didn’t work the first time. I updated the app and tried again, and it worked as it should, and gave me a confirmation message.
I’ve been having issues with my phone, so just assumed it was something to do with that, or I would have paid more attention.
I think at least part of the problem has been the built in expiry date, and the fact that so many off brand Chromebooks are absolute shit. They have tiny screens and low specs, and struggle with multiple web pages open.
I fancied one myself to take out and about, as I do most of my work on my PC, but they all seemed to have under 13 inch screens, and a five year shelf life. I like to research my family tree, so have a few tabs open, but the lack of memory would kill them and make it painful to do.
You’re being downvoted, but you’re right.
People want something simple. Something that just runs the basics and automatically backs up online and invisibly.
The vast majority of people don’t need to have the choice of 17 different browsers, or 43 office suites, and they certainly don’t need the terminal or Powershell, or anything else. They just need a browser and a way to maybe write a letter and view photos. Maybe a way for the kids to do their homework. If their laptop spontaneously combusts, they want to be able to sign into a new one and have everything put back as it was automatically.
ChromeOS is perfect for them, apart from being a Google product. It’s something we tend to miss because we’re technically minded, but most people don’t care about computers, and don’t want what we want. They want an appliance. If someone created that system with privacy built in, it could be great :)
I’ll give that a try next time, thanks :)
I’ve got a weird issue with the soles of my feet. I’m not ticklish at all, but the soles of my feet react as if the nerves are turned up to 11. It’s only for light touches though, I can walk around barefooted with no problems, even on rough surfaces.
If someone touches my feet it’s a sensory overload that lasts for a while afterwards. It’s a weird combination of light tickling and burning, and feels like there’s something stuck to the bottom of my foot for a minute or two after the touch stops. The really weird part is, I can tickle my own feet, but apparently you’re not supposed to be able to tickle yourself 🤷🏻♂️
Please, do tell. Cramp is annoying pain, because it tends to lock my leg up when it happens.
I can’t remember if it was the exact same procedure, but I’ve had something very similar when I had a bladder biopsy done, but I’m going to beat you on making someone else uncomfortable :D
For anyone who doesn’t know, these procedures start with an anaesthetic gel being squirted into your penis through a syringe to numb everything, then the camera and tools get inserted. It’s been a while, but from what I remember, some air gets pushed in along with everything else. The nurse warned me that the air coming out can be uncomfortable. I also had to have a pretty full bladder for the procedure.
Afterwards, I needed to pee straight away, so used the toilet next to the waiting room. When I went, it burned a bit from the gel wearing off and everything just generally being tender. Suddenly though, I had this feeling of intense pressure, and a fireball forced its way out followed by some boiling pee. I used my free hand to steady myself, and my knees almost buckled. I let out an involuntary ‘Jesus Christ!’. I finished and cleaned up, and the nurse met me outside the door.
She had a huge grin on her face, and said ‘I told you it would sting’, then nodded towards the waiting room, where about half a dozen terrified looking men had apparently heard me :D
I’m in the UK, and I’ve had decent laptops from rapidIT and ITZoo, both .co.uk as far as I remember. I can’t remember which laptop I got from Rapid as it was a few years ago, but the first one had a faulty motherboard, and they swapped the laptop with no issues.
I had a Stonebook branded Clevo N750BU from ITZoo, which is an i7 based laptop, and Mint works perfectly on it. It’s quite old now, so you’ll probably get a newer one for your budget, but with a RAM upgrade it runs everything I throw at it. I use it for designing and editing logos in Inkscape and Krita, and for editing a website in html, css, and javascript, so anything newer should do it even better :)
Ch ch ch chicken!
Just a reminder:
No worries :)
Besides, it was the luck of the feed. The t-shirt post was only two posts above this one when I was browsing :)
It looks like you’ve replied to the wrong post. There’s a post in [email protected] about a Luigi t-shirt 👍
I thought I had disabled it, and I don’t have the app, but I can’t see any way to remove it from any of the settings mentioned in the email 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t use them either, but still got the email.
People: Oh how cool, I can monitor my chicken nuggets from my couch ~5m away.
This would genuinely be handy for me though. I’ve got a nine year old, and have similar aged kids over quite regularly. If I’m dealing with the kids, I can’t always hear the air fryer finishing. A notification to the phone that’s in my pocket would be really helpful.
As you say though, there’s always shit tacked on :(
‘Gaming laptop, only used occasionally. Been sitting around for a while because my kid’s got a new hobby. £1,200 no offers. I know what I’ve got’
The pictured laptop has a Centrino sticker on it and looks like it’s been used to dig a garden
That’s brilliant, I hope it all works out 😊
You set the whitelist in Minecraft, and it uses your ID. I can’t remember exactly what Minecraft calls it, your player ID maybe. It doesn’t matter where you connect from then, as long as you’re logged in. I think it works the same way with pirated accounts too, but I haven’t got any here to check.
For the firewall, I’ve just been checking through the Minecraft log every now and then and banning the obvious bots and scanners, so that shouldn’t affect you either :)
