Anyone else having a problem with their PS3 freezing while watching Netflix? Just started a few days ago.
Re: Re: The Tech Help Thread The slim model or the old style? My slim works perfectly, I have freezing issues maybe once a week with the old one, I need to take it apart and clean it.
I'm going to post this in the tech help thread too, but hopefully someone can help. I have stupid friends who like to send out group texts that include me. Said assholes also like to send about 50 texts a day about shit I don't care about at 5am. Short of blocking their numbers (which I don't want to do) is there an app or a setting I don't know about to get rid of group texts? I have a Galaxy S4. Thanks.
You can't stop group texts. SMS Blocker would let you filter some of the repeat offenders: <a class="postlink" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smsBlocker" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... smsBlocker</a> Otherwise you can use an app that would let you assign custom notifications for individual contacts, and assign those offending people to a silent notification. There are apps that will do this, or you can use a third party texting app like GoSMS.
OK, so I feel like an idiot now. I've been googling and googling and googling, and can't find a simple "how-to" on this. I have an HP ProBook laptop with a docking station. Soon, I will be switching to an EliteBook. (My work loves HP). According to the specs, I can run 3 or 4 monitors off the ProBook, and with the right dock, 5 off the EliteBook. The back of my current dock has a blue VGA port, a white DVI port, and a DisplayPort output. I am probably going to get the "advanced" dock next which has two DVI ports and two DisplayPort outputs. From what I've seen of DisplayPort, it states you can daisy-chain monitors together, but your monitors have to have both a DisplayPort in and a DisplayPort out. I get that part. My monitors only have DisplayPort in. So, my question is: To run 3 monitors on my current dock and 4 on the "advanced" dock, do I put one through VGA, one through DVI and one through DisplayPort? Or do I need to get new monitors with DisplayPort in and out?
Usually, you would have to have a dual video card for more than two monitors to work, or at least that's what I've found in the past. This might help also: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebo...n-using-more-than-2/td-p/5354281#.Utbk7vtyySk
So far with the regular dock, I have 3 monitors up and running. One through DisplayPort on the laptop, one through DVI and one through VGA on the dock. It wouldn't let me run DisplayPort on the laptop and on the dock. I have the advanced dock coming next week which has two DVI outputs on the back, hoping I can use that to run four monitors.
Well, I finally got all four monitors up and running. It took the HP Advanced Dock with 2 DVI outs, a VGA out, and a USB to DVI adapter from startech.com. What a pain in the fucking ass.
I have a jailbroken Apple TV 2 in my master bedroom, that I use to stream Netflix and movies/TV shows stored on my HD downstairs (hence the jailbreak). Recently, Netflix has been hanging whenever I try to get into it on the ATV2; just hangs at the loading screen, never makes it any farther, doesn't give me an error message. I can stream over my network, and can watch Youtube through the ATV, so it can get to both local resources and out to the internet. Netflix, OTOH, remains borked. Any ideas what could be causing this? Will I need to reset and rejailbreak the ATV?
(too late to edit) Okay, I just realized something: When I select "internet" on the Apple TV menu, my Netflix "top picks" come up on the top of the screen, and I can get in that way; I can even play the stuff that comes up there. But, when trying to get in Netflix's front door, it's just stuck on "accessing Netflix." The more I think about it, the more I think I'll have to rejailbreak...
For anyone keeping score at home, I just re-jailbroke and all is well, aside from the current firmware (both Apple and XBMC) looking funny. In addition to being mostly unable to access Netflix, yesterday I found myself unable to get into my LAN in XBMC, which rendered my Apple TV a paperweight. I ran Seas0nPass again, SSH'd in and managed to install XBMC on the first try. All in all, pretty painless.
I can save or download a file linked as something like: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.website.org/notices/123456.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.website.org/notices/123456.pdf</a> I need a few older files than the most recent one that is linked on this public group's website. There aren't direct links for any older files I want to get, but I can manually enter <a class="postlink" href="http://www.website.org/notices/123455.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.website.org/notices/123455.pdf</a>, <a class="postlink" href="http://www.website.org/notices/123454.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.website.org/notices/123454.pdf</a>, <a class="postlink" href="http://www.website.org/notices/123453.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.website.org/notices/123453.pdf</a>, etc changing the last number and get other files. Is there something I can type like /directory or /tree that will show all the pdf files that are there instead of manually changing hundreds of numbers?
No. If you can't access /notices/ directly, it means that listing of the directory is not allowed. If you need to batch download everything, you'll have to use a utility. I've heard that DownThemAll! works well: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.downthemall.net/howto/help/english-menu/batch-downloadsbatch-descriptors/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.downthemall.net/howto/help/e ... scriptors/</a> Haven't used it myself. Hope it helps though.
This is very good for sequential batches. It works great for /download/12345.pdf, where everything you want to download has the same structure. You can download 12345.pdf through 54321.pdf in one click. /download/[12345].pdf I haven't figured out how to use wildcards, or nonsequential things though. Like if the files might be named /download/Form123.pdf or /download/Spreadsheet3.pdf, I can't just do a batch with /download/[*:*].pdf. But, even if there are some limitations, this is still helpful. Thanks.
Right, it's still under all of the same limitations that you are as a person accessing the website, and can't see file lists. Basically, wildcards can't work because the tool sends fetch requests for individual file names, anything that's unknown would require a fetch request for every possible letter and number combination in that wild card... and *:* would try every letter and number combination in the world. Like an infinite number of monkeys writing Shakespeare, you'd eventually end up with Hamlet's soliloquy dot PDF being requested from the server. Where are you getting these file links from? Not sure exactly what the situation is but you could try emailing the website and telling them what you're trying to do.
This is from a State governmental organization. The things I am after with trying access the links are twofold: - They post a link publicly to the current advisory. I can click that and download it. The file ends in 1234.pdf. I was after some archival advisories, and was able to get those using 'download them all' with the four-digit range. - They post some guidance documents and forms publicly. These end in ThisForm1.pdf and AnotherDoc.pdf. I would like to get other documents and forms that I know exist, but can't get them sent to me. I can't get them because the people that know what forms I'm talking about either don't have access to the electronic version, think they don't have access, or are terribly unresponsive when asked; or, they could get them, but it would be doing me a favor and since I have to work with them on other things, I don't want to use up my favors; or, the people that do have access to the electronic versions have no idea who I am, wouldn't respond to an email and wouldn't know why I want them. Government bureaucracy and red tape and laziness and some of the forms are 10 years old all rolled into one . . .
Ah. Well I'm afraid you're fucked, then. You could try an anonymous FTP login to the same URL as the website. Every once in a blue moon, some system admin is stupid enough to leave that open, or they have a valid use case for doing so. Not much else you can do though.
I am running mediawiki on a wamp server on my laptop and I'm trying to figure out how to get it to allow me to upload pictures. I'm at a total impasse, and what I've found from their website doesn't make any sense to me. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Co ... le_uploads</a> Maybe I'm just dumb, but I don't get that at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
OK, I figured it out, it was a bit of a pain in the ass. I had told it to allow uploads during install, but apparently it didn't turn it on in the php.ini file. Edited that in notepad++ and it looks like it's OK now.
