And Drumpf’s accessory ancestor choose that name. On purpose.

Ok thanks for the direction. I’ll check there.

I am using Mint Cinnamon. Are you saying this is a setting I can turn on?

I’m looking for something to display briefly with the current song info when I make an adjustment, without having to click into anything.

Edit: I’m back home and looking at this now. Yeah, the info I want is in the volume slider when I click. I want this to briefly appear in an overlay when I, say, change the volume so that I can quickly address my curiosity when playing a video game, for example.

Is there something that does this? A song is currently playing, and this is all I get when changing volume.

Windows gives something closer to what is in the volume setting in the taskbar after clicking on it.

I run Mint and the touchscreen and pen both work. I haven’t tried anything with the web cam to confirm or deny that one.

The system programs let you scroll on the touch screen (looking through the app store for example) but, frustratingly, Firefox doesn’t support this. I haven’t looked too hard for an alternative or work around though.

Excellent, thanks! There was a thread the other day where someone posted instructions on a lighter weight IoT version of Win10 that doesn’t have much bloat. I think I’ll try that one.

Didn’t realize this, shoot. The VM will take more space than I really like, but I guess I can remove it when I’m done.

It definitely requires a USB connection between the computer and the Maestro unit. Shoot, didn’t know USB was unsupported and was hoping to avoid a VM just due to the extra space required. Looks like I have to though, thanks for the help.

For me it’s that everything today is made out of some flavor of shitty plastic. Call ot whatever you want - “Active Wear”, “Cool Breeze”, “Dry Tech” - it’s polyester, it feels terrible, and amps my BO up to 11 even if I’m just sitting still.

Exactly. I want to discover new artists, and sometimes I accidentally discover old artists that I should have known about but sheltered, raised-on-small-town-Midwestern-radio old me never could.

Y.y…y…you do know what the plural of ‘axis’ is, right?

For as much as you’re showing what you don’t know in this thread, I still can’t believe you don’t know this one.

It sounds like you really need to buy some Ubisoft stock right now.

Or a ruler. And make the strips the width of the ruler. The only “extra” needed is a cutting surface. This plastic gizmo simply eliminates the need for a work surface, nothing else.

From a quick glance the pic looks a bit like the sand cruiser they used to throw Luke into the sarlacc pit.

Yeah this is probably the most likely. We do love to put plastic on everything.

That’s a reasonable guess, but it suggests that (a lot) of people are unpacking new electronics over bare live electrical wire.

I’ve been buying electrical and electronic things for years (okay decades), and the toys and computers I got as a kid never had these. The cords are always nicely coiled in their own cavity of the box too, so already protected well enough.

All in all it just seems like a solution to a non-existent problem.

I had done this for several years but recently I’m running into the issue where my home router won’t let me specify a DNS server that is on the same subnet. I dont have multiple networks running at home so I can’t make a Pihole work anymore.

Welcome!

I’d shake your hand, but, well…

I have a plant identifier app that says it’s periwinkle.

I honestly don’t know. Just that I tried to install Mint and it booted from USB just fine, but gave an error when I tried to run the installer. I don’t recall the error message anymore but when I googled it, the problem was RST being enabled. I (dumbly) disabled it and rebooted into Windows only to find a drive missing. Thought I lost it but after re-enabling and rebooting a couple of times it came back.

I decided not to play until I could move that data and then reformat the drive without RST.
