Sean C.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProTip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProTip</a> if you ever think using 2 day UPS shipping with shopbeam.com will be a faster way to get your order, think again……placed two orders last Friday and the one that is coming USPS is coming today……while the one coming UPS never left their warehouse and is "stuck in fulfillment process”……and to boot i was saddled with a customer service rep who is either dishonest or a moron or both……never will i ever try using 2 day UPS shipping again

Dan SugalskiToday's random baking <a href="https://weatherishappening.network/tags/protip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protip</a> If you want a shiny, crackly surface to your bread but have a hard/impossible time getting it (like I do, I have a gas oven and it's near-impossible) you can get one with a quick starch glaze. Mix flour and water in a 1:10 mix (1g flour per 10g water), nuke it for a few seconds and stir to properly gelatinize the starch, and brush it on the loaf before scoring and popping it in the oven.You get a lovely, shiny crust. Mmmm, tasty.

itgrrl :donor:<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ProTip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProTip</a>: if you have to use <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> (for $reasons 👀), add custom search engines to your web browser to avoid the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIslop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIslop</a> summaries at the top of the results page & / or to constrain to recent results only (to avoid irrelevant older info for technical queries, etc.)Google doesn't let you disable "AI" (🙄) summaries unless you first log in to Google, so if you refuse to log in (or just don't have an account) then by default you're stuck with it 😫but wait! there's a solution (for now, at least)for no "AI" (🙄) slop summaries but all results from the beginning of time, use: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14</a> for no "AI" (🙄) slop summaries & only recent results, use: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%s+after%3A2023-12-31&udm=14" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/search?q=%s+after%3A2023-12-31&udm=14</a> &udm=14 is the magic param that gets you web results without the garbage "AI" (🙄) summaries up front 💁‍♀️ after:2023-12-31 gets you results from 2024 onwards only (tweak as required) in desktop browsers you can assign a shortcut to use in the search bar - I use [@]g for all results & [@]gn for recent results but you do you 🙃 (the [ ] here are just to prevent tagging in someone on masto, remove when you add the shortcut 🤪)the %s syntax for query string works in Edge & Chrome (so it should work in any Chromium-based browser) as well as Firefox

Maj - Michele Ann Jenkins 🇨🇦If you want to come across as totally unhinged, walk around with headphones on singing along, as best you can, with the White Lotus theme song.<a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/protip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protip</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/whiteLotus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whiteLotus</a>

Syulang<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Garmin</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Protip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protip</a> - Fed up with the gratutious price gouging and eternal "Waiting on stock" lead times for GPS units in AU - you can open-box factory refurb stock from the EU.Garmin don't preinstall global maps on their units, but just grab micro SD card (32gb cards work fine, I'd suggest avoiding cards over 64gb) and and head over to <a href="https://garmin.opentopomap.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://garmin.opentopomap.org/</a> for free, OSM based topographic map layers already formatted for Garmin devices.Download the ZIPs for the maps and contour layers for AU (or anywhere else). Create a folder on the SD card called "Garmin" and copy the contents of the zip files to it.Bung the card in the GPS unit, and you now have a local device with much higher quality maps than the Garmin Topoactive ones.Sweet.This got me an Etrex 32x in open box but completely unused (unit still in the original plastic) shipped from Europe for $200, and for the sake of a $10 SD card is actually better than a brand new local unit.

Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 🙄Cheapest possible hack, use filenames to say where the pins go. Tomorrow I'll switch to having some kinda config file, so I can leave images & text where they should be.I'm kinda toast now. But that's a good hack for one day.Also, important <a href="https://appdot.net/tags/protip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protip</a>: If start a bunch of image filters with a 256-color indexed image, it's gonna look like shit. Make sure you're in ARGB first. I should've saved the washed-out mess, I thought it was my code for ~10 minutes.
