Medtronic/ MCL Heart

Hello folks,

I recently had a loop recorder installed and have been using the MCL Heart app as instructed. However, I recently bought a new phone only to find it's not compatible with the app. I'm not about to return it just for this app, but I was planning to keep the old phone anyway to use as an external HD.

My question is basically is it ok for the recorder to only connect with the app once or twice a day? The old phone will remain at home, I won't be taking it to work, but the recorder can connect with it when I get home.

The Medtronic site is terrible and has no info so hope someone here knows

Thanks in advance.

ETA For App Editing?

When can we expect to be able to edit via the app? This is the one thing that is stopping me from switching. Seems like this should have been available day one.

Non-Steam Game Troubles

I'm having a hell of a time getting older, non-Steam games to run on my OLED Deck. I recently tried to get Prince of Persia 2006 running following the instructions here but it would just crash to desktop. I also tried Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines with the advice here and got the same result.

I've tried a few other older games with much the same results. Only non-Steam games I've got to run are Beacon Pines and Powerslave Exhumed.

However, others seem to be having a lot more luck with these games. I don't know what I'm missing/ doing wrong but it's quite frustrating. If anyone has any advice/ suggestions of things I could try it'd be most appreciated.

Cheers.

EDIT: Forgot to say all above games are GOG versions and installed via Heroic Launcher.

Making Shrine its own Site?

Hello everyone,

I've started building a shrine on my site, but I'm thinking of spinning it out into its own site. However, I know changing the URL, file locations etc will break everything. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do such a migration, or will it require re-writing the code by hand?

I know I could re-direct to the current URL, but I feel like a "fresh" URL would be cleaner. At any rate, does anyone have suggestions as to the best way forward?

Cheers.

What Can I Get to Block Little Fingers

G'day folks. I've been poking around here a bit but this is my first post.

Our little one has reached the age where she's starting to get interested in what's on our shelves. This entertainment unit is a bit of an issue as it's open. I was wondering if there's something we could get to stop her getting into it. I know we could put a gate/ playpen wall Infront of it, but that would look kinda ugly and possibly fall. Are there any more elegant solutions?

Thanks in advance.

Site Feedback

Hello everyone,

I've got my site to a point where I'm pretty happy with it, but one thing I'll admit is that it's not as "unique/ cool/ out there" as many other Neocities sites. This is a little because I prefer more organised sites (not that crazy stuff is bad, I do like it, it's just my own style), but also because it's supposed to be a reference site more than anything.

I would love some feedback/ thoughts on it. I'm thinking of changing the blog so each entry has its own page/ url (maybe use a static site generation, I'm not sure yet) and I'm working on a few shrines. At any rate, please let me know what you think.

Cheers.

Help With Rows

Updates RSS Feed?

I was wondering if there is a way to create an RSS feed that will add a new item when a site is updated. Basically, the info you see on your Profile Activity page as an RSS.

I've done a bit of searching and it seems too that all RSS has to be updated manually whenever you want a new story added. Is there no way to automate this?

I do find the documentation around RSS a bit confusing so I may not be understanding properly.

GMDX Doesn't Allow Turrets to target enemies?

Playing through GMDX Augmented and even with both Electronics and Computers at Master I can't turn turrets against enemies like you can in vanilla. I've been through the options and there seems to be no way to change this back. Is this the case or am I just missing it?

GMDX Augmented - Active Vs Toggle Augs

Playing GMDX Augmented for the first time and I've come across my first Aug with an Active or Toggle option.

I just want to make sure I'm clear on these; so an active aug will constantly drain your bioenergy until you turn it off. Conversely, a toggle aug will "take" a chunk of energy but not use any more past that but still function until it's turned off (when you lose that energy).

If I'm right here, it seems toggle is the better option?

Editing Files in App ETA?

I've just started to migrate from Google Drive to Proton, but the first big hurdle I've struck is not being able to edit docs or sheets in the app. When I open them via the browser on my phone it tells me that the screen is too small for editing so can't do it there either (not tried on a table yet).

I was wondering if there's any ETA on when this feature might become available? I know Drive is pretty new still, but looking forward to it being a full replacement for GDrive.

One of My Collection Grails Arrived tlToday

;The ridiculously wonderful Phantom 2040 "whistle light" from Ja-Ru.

There's no whistle light in the show, it's like Ja-Ru wanted to shift a bunch of stock so just shoved the 2040 licence on it. Brilliant! 😅

Struggling to DeGoogle. Losing the Will

I've been a Google user since "don't be evil" was their main mandate. GMail, Google Drive, Android, Keep, Sites, Photos, I even used their social media and RSS feed platforms. I bought into their echo system hard (I don't use Chrome though). Now, seeing all the talk about how they are doing evil has me wanting to move. However, I'm finding it quite difficult.

Apart from the obvious (having to move email accounts, where I keep notes, etc) the prince is the main issue. I can't afford £500+ for a Fairphone or any other non-Android phone (none seem to be on plans here in the UK). The cost of could storage is also prohibitive (I want to ensure I've my photos backed up on places other than just external HDDs). Then there's the worry that those services will go down and I'll have to move everything again.

If I'm perfectly honest, my main worry is what I have on Google Drive. I'm an author, I wrote my first book entirely on Drive. It does worry me that Google's AI might have scanned the files for the book I had in Drive, and I can't seem to find any info that confirms or denies that Google doesn't do this.

I am (possibly stupidly) a little less worried about personal info as (and I know many people in this sub hate this excuse) I'm boring and have nothing to hide. Targeted advertising doesn't bother me (I block the vast majority of it anyway), but I don't particularly like the idea of my emails/ drive contents/ photos being scanned for AI.

Yes, Google owners are dicks, but is the difficulty in moving truly worth the hassle? I'm sure some on here will say yes, but I'm finding it so frustrating - especially the lack of good info on alternative services, and the cost of those services - that I'm wondering if it's worth the heartache.

Started a "Comics Wall" for Fav Covers

Decided to so something with the cool variant covers (or covers I really love) to show them off a bit. Actually had the idea for a while but only recently had the chance to do it.

Plan to add more in the future but pretty happy with this first go.

Hello folks. Long time lurker, first time poster.

So I've been a comic reader/ collector for about 30 years. I don't have the biggest collection (about 5000 issues) but it's got to the point where space is becoming a real issue. I'm starting to think I need to cut some stuff out and am wondering how others have done this.

I'm not hugely precious about having complete runs (bar a few exceptions), especially as modern comics keep stopping/ starting them. My thinking is to go through the issues and remove any arcs that I didn't particularly like. I might keep the odd issue if I really like the interior or cover art though.

Has anyone else ever done this? Or did you stick em all in a box in storage? 😅

Thanks in advance.

I've seen a few sites that are using tags, mostly on blogs, and wonder if this can be done without the use of an outside blog system (can't remember what they are called).

I'd imagine it would be quite a lot of work to make these manually; is there something that automates it that I've not discovered?

So this shit kicker was in my local town centre. No, I did not go in to see him.

My question is, when is Zack Polanski or any rep of the larger Green Party going to show up? It honestly feels like this area has just gone into the "too hard" basket for the Greens.

The Tories won the last local election here and it looks very much like Reform will win the next. We need the Greens to show up more now than ever and...nothing.

I understand it's not a strong area for them, but shouldn't that be MORE of a reason for Zack and co to visit?

I've been a Green voter all my life. I voted Green when I lived in Australia, and I've voted Green since I've moved here. Over the last two bunch of elections though the absolute disregard the larger Green Party has shown this area (and I don't mean the local member, there are some and they are great) is incredibly disheartening.

I hate feeling this way, but there it is.

P.S. Before anyone goes on about it, yes, I am a member. I have also donated and volunteered (although that's harder now with a newborn).

As the title says, my deck will takes aaaages to boot fully after it's been fully charged. It has to be at least two minutes. The thing is if the deck has been used and this has less than full battery it only takes half the time.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?
