I’m not sure why these comments are so negative so far. If I’m understanding the article correctly, it is an optional setting to automatically open the app as soon as it is done installing. The Play Store isn’t just installing and opening apps on its own.

I had an issue where a client reported a crash on login. The exception and stack trace reported were very generic and lent no clues to the cause. I tried debugging but could not reproduce. I eventually figured out that the crash only happened for release (non-debug) builds that were obfuscated. I couldn’t find the troublesome code, so I figured out which release introduced the issue, then which commit, then went change by change until I was able to find the cause. It turned out to be a log message in a location that was completely unrelated to login. That exact log message was fine a few lines up. Other code worked fine in that location. For some unknown reason, having that log message in that specific location caused a crash in a completely different area of code.

What’s going on with Nike and their uniforms? The MLB ones are pretty bad where you can basically see through the pants, and now this.

What do you use the servers for, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been considering setting something basic up for some additional file storage or local media streaming and am always curious what others use their setups for.

I used to work IT for a while and we had one guy who would pick up all our old hardware from clients. A lot of it was still functioning well, but the clients got new tech and wanted us to just wipe the drives and get rid of it. The guy would sort through it, keep some of the stuff that was functioning either for himself or to sell and would strip the rest for materials.

As the other commenter said, I figured I would post it in both communities to get more responses from people who may not be a part of both. I’m not sure if that is what I should be doing (still fairly new to Lemmy), but I thought I’d give it a try.

That’s quite a deal. I bought some Pokemon cards from garage sales when I was younger and would get a few rare cards every once in a while.

Congrats on the increase in investment. I’m starting to look into buying a house in the near future, and some of the price increases are crazy. I saw one house that said it was purchased for something like $180k 5 years ago and was pending now for like $320k

That’s an interesting way to get something worth so much. Is the painting tied to the religion in any way, or did the church just give out random paintings it happened to own?

That’s awesome! The guitars look really nice in your picture. Is there anything special specifically with those guitars that make the value so high, or are they just rare and collectible?

Haha, I feel that

I hope you and your wife are doing better now! I collected Pops for a while (mostly just characters that I liked) and got a few expensive ones, but nowhere near that price tag.

Funnily enough, I felt the opposite. 2016 seemed more grounded and serious to me while still having some laughs and eye rolls, while Eternal had a lot more arcadey stuff where it felt like the devs either didn’t know how to integrate it more seamlessly into the universe or were just doing whatever they thought would be cool rather than what would serve a good story. I think I would have been alright with either version of Doom, but I feel like there is a disconnect between the two newest entries that is just a bit harder to look over.

When I worked IT, I went to a local fire station and said I was there to update their computers. The person I talked to didn’t seem to know that this was scheduled, but they led me to their office with the computers and showed me how to log on. I’m pretty sure they just assumed I was telling the truth because I spoke confidently and was wearing a polo, but I could have literally been anyone.

On one hand, I agree that the story could and should contain more info about the positives of the club to really show people what it’s like. I’ve read similar articles about other school districts that have the club, and they often give few details about the actual club, which is frustrating. On the other hand, I understand why the author chose to focus on what they did. If this club was established and everyone was cool with it, it likely wouldn’t receive an article in a national publication because that’s not very noteworthy. The news story in this case isn’t about the club being formed; it’s about the backlash to the club being formed, and that’s what they’re going to focus on. I’m not saying it should be that way (I like having a more complete picture of what’s going on), but focusing on one aspect of a story and ignoring others is often how it appears to be when reading news.

Your comment about the jet program reminded me of something I read once about the US military trying to conceal a top secret jet (I think it was the SR-71) from spy satellites. The thing I read said that the planes heated up the runway where they sat, which would show up on thermal images of the runways. Iirc, they would go out and heat the runways further to make it seem like there were more planes or to change the shape of the heat signature.

This is based entirely off of memory, and I can’t find the right search terms to look for more info, so take it with a grain of salt.
