I had noticed that Firefox was getting very slow compared to chrome browsers even just scrolling up and down a page, but then remembered I had set gfx.webrender to use software mode a couple of years ago. After resetting the gfx. config options websites started working properly again.

Until my PC resumes from sleep, and the graphics are screwed up until restarting Firefox.

This has been a bug since 2020 and it is still broken

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535721

edit: only for json files it seems

I get asked if I want to replace the existing file, I click replace, it saves it with (1) or (2) or (3) on the end anyway.

Was going to report it as a bug but that seems impossible too now. They removed the feedback form and send you to a mozilla connect website now which just tells me I am rate limited and can't login.

I got an email yesterday saying invalid traffic was detected on my account, but they aren't going to tell me even what ad unit it was.

How do I find out what the problem was? the adsense site shows no increase in clicks anywhere, and I can't even check admob because it doesn't allow me to login.

So how are you meant to find out what happened if you aren't allowed to look at the data?

The only problem I can think of is that one of my apps has a rewarded ad which disabled ads for a month after watching a video. The user is shown a popup explaining it before tapping accept to view.

The email says "offering rewards to users for viewing ads" is not allowed, so why have google created a rewarded ad system if that's not allowed?

The app has been on the play store with ads for years, and doesn't get much use at all - maybe only about £3 per month of ad income.

I just got an email that octopus are increasing my direct debit. At the moment it's more than enough, but over winter it probably won't be.

Whenever the bill comes, if my balance is below zero I go on the website and top up by whatever it needed to bring it into £10 credit again. I had seen something on reddit before that you can ask them to take only the amount needed each month instead of the fixed amount each month.

I can't find that post again, so does anyone know what they would call that kind of direct debit so I can ask to swap to it?

I just went to look at my electricity use and noticed my home mini stopped updating at 11:45. So I checked my parents account (completely different address) and their home mini also stopped working today but at 11:00.

The mini itself is still showing the normal white light, and my hildebrand CAD is still getting data from the meter ok.

Since changing to Gemini my Google home only turns on the correct light about 10% of the time. Today it got even worse, trying to turn on my bedroom light while I am in my bedroom right next to the speaker

Hey Google, turn on the light - makes the sound, but nothing happens

again.. Hey Google turn on the light - makes the noise again but nothing

Hey Google, which light did you turn on? - "To see your history you need to upgrade to Home Premium....." then it reads out a URL.

So basically it fails doing one of the most basic things that everyone would expect it to do, and then expects you to pay extra? It's just a joke now.

For a few months now FF has made it more difficult than it should be to go to my router or camera web interfaces. These are 192.168.1.x IP addresses. They are http URLs, but FF keeps changing to https.

I have turned on "Don't enable HTTPS-only mode" and have fallback-to-https, https_first, and https_first_for_local all set to false

It still keeps upgrading to https unless I type the full url as "http://192.168.1.1" instead of just typing the IP address.

I often set up new stuff through local IP address web interfaces and this https thing makes that more difficult, especially when it hides the "https" from the url so I am wondering why it can't connect to the device even after I typed in http but then find out it's changed it to https again and not told me.

For ages my stuff has been delivered from Lutterworth, and they were great.

Then stuff started coming from Lutterworth and Northampton, and when stuff went missing or didn't come until the next day it was always from Northampton.

Now it's all Northampton and again stuff just isn't turning up anywhere near the estimated time.

Obviously it's not going to go perfectly all the time, but in my own experience for reliability I would give Lutterworth 99% and Northampton 50%.

Vulnerable road users makes it sound like if you aren't in a car then it's not normal so people need to treat you more carefully.

A better term would be something that says the bigger you are then the more dangerous you are to others, not that you should only be careful around weaker people.

I don't know what that would be though. Heavy road users? :)

... and disconnecting the controllable also disconnects the virtual shifting controller.

Today I started a ride and during warmup noticed that no watts were being shown so I went to sensors and saw it was not connected to my trainer. I disconnected the trainer, still couldn't connect to it, so I restarted Rouvy and then I was able to connect OK. The "controllable" was still showing as connected OK.

I started the ride again and when it began I couldn't change gears with my zwift click (which was working) and there were no + - buttons shown on the screen.

So, when the trainer is disconnected/reconnected the controllable should also be disconnected/reconnected too. Rouvy should do this automatically.

Since my click controllers were working I thought I could fix it without getting off the bike, but when I went to sensors and removed the controllable it also disabled virtual shifting which meant I could no longer navigate the menu. Since the controllers can also be used in the menu now they should stay active even if you don't have a controllable connected.

After getting off the bike and reconnecting the controllable and controllers again everything was fine.
