This was always a known risk of having alternative app stores. Think of it from the dev’s point of view, he’s also one of the founders of AltStore. Of course an exclusive app is one of the best ways to get people onboard. Just wait for the Epic, Meta, Amazon… stores next. At least AltStore has an open-source ethos behind it.

As an added bonus, the text that’s taped to the steering wheel tyre reads “Wednesday” in Chinese. Which seems to suggest a different wheel(s) for other days of the week.

I’m not entirely sure what’s you’re trying to imply. But Bangkok is a city in Thailand.

I feel like the developer should actually get some legal advice. In the U.K., “the crown” does not refer to the monarchy, but some legal entity that might as well be the state.

I can confirm the extensions work well together.

You can also apply it when watching a YouTube video by appending “&wadsworth=1” to the url.

It seems it may be because Orion on iOS has web extensions support. Which I think safari also does (partially) but uses a different framework for its on extensions. Check out Kagi’s page on Orion and web extensions.

For iOS safari, I can’t recommend vinegar enough. It replaces the YouTube player with the default html 5 player. So you get all the built in iOS features and ad blocking. There’s also the sponsor block app which works in conjunction with vinegar.

Unfortunately IT blocked Access installs because some staff were using it for mission critical processes, and upon leaving IT were required to maintain them. They felt excel was less likely to lead to scenarios like this.

Little did they know excel projects are probably worse to maintain.

I feel you. Working in healthcare, ms office is the only thing consistently installed site wide I can take advantage of to run a db.

Interestingly the you / thou distinction existed because of French / Latin influence (see the T-V distinction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T–V_distinction). Thou was generally for addressing intimate / inferiors. English just drifted to using the more formal “you” across time and dropped the thou.

Ive named mine quite similarly: officeServer, bedroom1server, atticServer…

Thanks for all the hard work. I’m particularly enjoying the compact comments. I just realised there’s quicklook for images in comments, which is really handy. Is that likely the same implementation for the upcoming media viewer?

EDIT: on messing about further, it’s the same interface for post pictures as well. I like it!

For blocking YouTube ads, I cannot recommend Vinegar more. It’s a safari extension that replaces the default YouTube player with a standard HTML5 video tag. Which means all the functionality of iOS videos (PiP, backgrounding, scrubbing) and no ads.

Think of it this way: If there’s loads of implementations of an idea, it means there’ss already a market/need for it!

Eating bitterness (吃苦） is a phrase that really brings me back to my time growing up in east Asia. However it seems older generations believing their offspring are too weak / spoilt to handle what they themselves have gone through appears to be a pretty universal thing.

For the backend I used the ADO library to create a MSAccess DB on a shared network folder. Then it’s a matter of using VBA to generate SQL commands to same library to read / write records from the DB.

For the frontend, I use VBA to generate a HTML document from the fetched data. For the IE control in a user form, you can then write the HTML to it. During this process you can bind local VBA variables to any of the html elements in the page.

A common flow would be:

• User clicks an element in a table
• simple JS on the page does some calculation, stores a value in a hidden input and clicks it.
• the user form variable detects the click in the monitored element, reads the changes, and acts on it.

I also have VBScript to act as the launcher by copying the excel file to the local machine, and launching the local copy. This solves the concurrency issue.

I can really emphasise with Samir. Working in healthcare I’m basically limited to just the Office applications. However in the past few years I’ve been able to cook up solutions by reading / writing to file based databases, and using VBA to generate and bind to HTML contents on the fly for the built in IE11 instance. It’s as close to getting to some kind of web-stack within the confines of IT Sec in healthcare.

I wonder what the alternative names for the other classes of psychotropic medication would be.

Antipsychotics - sane-atives Anxiolytics - calmatives

That shade of blue looks sick. Like a sickly sick.
