Their official FAQ is wrong, tells you the following:

1. Customers should go to https://outlook.live.com
2. Click help tab
3. Select help from the button
4. In help pane on the right in the search box type contact support
5. Click the yes button bellow the "still need help?" Prompt
6. Click the option to chat with a support agent and follow the on-screen prompts.

Except as soon as you type 'contact support' you just get 'no results found' and cannot proceed.

I have been unable to sync my outlook.com emails for over a month now with other services and applications, attempting to connect via IMAP just gives an error even after following their instructions.

I managed to get through to an agent by saying my issue was with 365 but they just kept spamming the above guide and when I twice said I get stuck at step 4 they just said "glad I could help" and ended the chat.

Fastmail thinks its connected fine but for a month or so now it just thinks there are no new emails. Tried fastmail support but they didn't have much to suggest. Think it coincided with MS wanting me to add a passkey to my account.

Has anyone else had this issue of not being able send receive emails from outlook.com/hotmail email accounts with fastmail?

Regularly hearing alarms and explosions, but don't see anything online about it.

Just curious really, of course it's construction, but when you hear regular alarms going off and loud booms its kinda nice to know why 😅

Building a no car city as a bit of fun but currently on -9 happiness due to unreliable mail service.

I've looked up videos of other people making cities without cars and none of them seem to mention this issue.

I've got good postal coverage, of course post vans are allowed to drive around, but I can't seem to get mail in and out of the city presumably due to the lack of vehicle access. Tried adding a cargo terminal to my city but ended up with mail stacking up in there, which apparently is a known issue for some time?

Anyone know how I can solve this?

I really like the idea of a flip phone, phones feel too big for me these days so being able to simpler tasks like texting on the cover screen of one of these devices is very appealing.

Apparently the 70 isn't much of a step up from the 60, and right now where i live a 60 ultra is €750 whereas the 70 ultra is €1350.

Anything i should consider getting the 70 instead that might make it worth the extra?

Was super hyped yesterday with the ai off button, checked some problem artist profiles i follow that were getting full of ai slop masquerading as them, and it had all gone! Wonderful!

Today i wanted to check my new releases playlist to see if they were now ai slop free.

Nope. One of my followed artists who was getting several new fake ai slop releases posing as them a week had ai slop in my new releases. Went to check their profile, and all the ai slop that was gone yesterday is now back.

Still have ai disabled in my settings.

Really disappointed. What is going on?

EDIT: Some people don't seem to understand what my experience was, let me clarify - yesterday, AI tracks in other artists profiles had disappeared after enabling the AI block option. Today they have reappeared.

EDIT2: AHHHHH. Ok the issue seems to be something else entirely. Testing just one of the problem artists I have had, "Rone", It seems the profiles have been split up, with a profile with the correct content, and another with the fake shit. HOWEVER it seems I am now 'following' the incorrect version of the split, and it seems this may be happening with other artists I am following, too. This isn't great if when splitting artists profiles, they aren't moving user's 'following' selection to the correct one.

EDIT3: Its actually a bit of a mess now, some tracks are mixed up between different correct and wrong versions of the artist, hopefully this gets resolved over time. Seems i can report stuff from the desktop app, but not he mobile app yet. Also there doesn't seem to be a way to report tracks that have incorrectly tagged an artist as a collaborator.

This AI off switch is amazing btw, it just cleared all the shit off a few problem profiles i looked to... except in the videos section. Loads of animated ai images to slop music still there.

Doesn't seem to be a way to report it.

Easily avoided at least, but something i hope they put eyes on.

Funny thing came up in a conversation with a friend who is a pretty respected techno DJ in my country.

He plays dark, minimal techno, the kind of techno that doesn't have a bassline but bass rumble. And he's totally sick of it. He wants to change up his style to more 'colourful' techno (his words) but says promoters and punters have got so associated with that style and his name that if he turns up playing anything else, everyone will be mad, especially the promoters (apparently people into this kind of music are SUPER purist about it), and no one who likes the kind of music he wants to play will turn up because they expect it'll be him playing music they don't like.

I suggested maybe he could DJ that music under another name but he says to promoters if he does that he's effectively just another wannabe and they wont book him.

Wonder if anyone here has gone through similar experiences? I'm sure there have been plenty of well known DJs who have switched up their styles over the years and people still came, but I guess if you're not THAT big to bring in a crowd whatever you play, its not so easy?

- Was using it accountless, can't change configuration, get an error when I try to create a URL

- Tried creating an account, the email verification link gives me a cloudflare error so can't verify

- Can't currently view any Torbox hosted content, but can't put in a new API key in case that is the issue

EDIT: now just getting a cloudflare bad gateway error screen when I try to configure it from stremio

EDIT2: tried adding the torbox addon directly to stremio, and it seems that is down, just get a 'server not found' error when I try to configure it. Guess Im not watching anything any time soon.

This is on Firefox on android.

Seems recently entering comments has changed from a field on the page to a popup window.

I'm often finding, maybe a third of the time, this window is not interactable - no text entry is available, and closing and reopening it doesn't work. Often replying to a different comment on the same page will work however.

This only seems to have started happening in the last week or so.

Im currently helping out on a unity game that is just using unity's own audio engine.

I should add no I cannot add any additional code / plugins / extensions etc to the project itself.

Is there some way I can measure LUFS values, perhaps with some bit of software running on my PC in the background? I have an RME interface if that makes a difference. I ask as stuff like OBS has a volume readout even when not capturing, perhaps there is something that can do LUFS?

I have searched about online and results are just for vst plugins or software you load a wav file in, I just want to see current LUFS values my PC is putting out

EDIT: The answer is Youlean Loudness Meter

Im working near Teurastamo and there's a heavy feeling of smoke in the air outside, enough to make me cough. IIRC Chef Wotkins smoke their meats (not a euphamism) on one particular weekday but I've not notice it be like this before, just a faint smell of sausages in the air in the past, today its really bad.

Found only two references to them here but nothing from any owners.

After a cargo trike (want trike as surfaces can get rough here in Finland and can carry bigger loads) and after discovering Christiana Bikes have HUGE lead time on orders, a couple of shops here have recommended this brand, and they have them in stock.

Tbh I'm a bit suspicious of what appears to be plastic spoked wheels. Googling around finds some favourable reviews, but can't tell how legitimate they are.

Wondered if anyone here has owned one and can share their experience as its a big investment.

Can we maybe make a list of this so we dont get confused by what we think are alternative, european grown search engines that are actually just Microsoft Bing using some kind of wrapper.

Using these not only undermines the concept of using EU products, but also their search results are shit.

Will update list as people share and confirm:

- Ecosia
- Qwant

I've been using Proton VPN on my desktop PC, iPad and Android phone for some months now.

I want to change asap.

Can anyone recommend an alternative? Want something europe based, easy to use, works on all the above platforms, doesn't have a CEO that defends holocaust deniers.

Thanks!

EDIT: Turns out I actually already paid for 2 years of proton vpn. Urgghh. Wish me luck getting that back.

Tried searching for this already but only found one post with no replies.

Currently trying out librewolf and having such a better experience compared to when i last tried Firefox a few years ago this may well be the thing that finally gets me off chrome.

One thing that is weird though is it seems Librewolf blocks qr codes from showing. When trying to set up 1password and WhatsApp on librewolf, the qr codes displayed some strange stipple pattern instead of the qr code.

I guess this is some security feature turned on my default? But i cannot find anything about it online or how to turn it off.

Can anyone help? ​​​​​​​​
