Not much on Saturday. Sunday was a planned trip to the Sister-in-laws. It was going to be a roast dinner, then it was a BBQ, and finally downgraded to jacket potatoes and salad.

Both my sons are autistic, one more than the other. He was initially excited about the big temporary swimming pool that was going to be there. Sadly, it was a different pool to last time and the water smelt funny and to top it off, his brother pushed him in, which was the final straw.

I had to take him home to calm down and left my other son and wife to enjoy themselves. It was only a few hours and I had to come back and pick them up as my other son had enough.

And there's this saying, “Autism Rocks!” 😆

I don't understand it, but going through various githubs, the problem has been discovered. Here it is:

YouTube changed their code to make it more difficult to extract the throttling parameter decryption function.

There was some coding demonstrating the problem but it was way over my head. Hopefully fixes are coming soon as the issue was marked as urgent. It looks like they know what needs changing.

That's the problem. I think Amazon have been locking the device down. Rooting maybe the only way if that's still possible.

We have a standard 4K stick and yesterday I looked into replacing the launcher. Unfortunately it seems that Amazon have stopped users from accessing ADB or an ADB shell making it almost impossible to customise it. It may still be root-able but I wasn't that desperate to change it.

I work 7 on/7 off so I let a week's worth of podcasts build up to get me through work. That also includes a weeks worth of James O'Brien. I don't bother with any other radio, too annoying.

Happy Birthday, Daniel. I tend not to expect anything any more, I'm 48, that way, I can't be too disappointed. ;-)

I've settled on Thunder. The only downside is that they haven't implemented replying to direct messages yet, you can only view them but apart from that, it's good.

The problem is, several publishers don't want to pay Nintendo for the larger storage cartridges. Many Switch games only have part of the game physically and you have to download the rest.

Diabolo III made a point of saying the whole game was on the cart for example.

New name, old icon. 😁 I'll see how I get on with this keyboard. It'll stop me relying on gifs from Gboard. 👍

Congratulations! I've been rocking the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G for about three years now. They're great phones.

Was that an intended pun? 😁

 

There always seems to be quite a few of the usual pdf's of the now defunct special effect magazine Cinefex floating around.

Does anyone know of somewhere that has the complete collection I could acquire in one go?

Cinefex did go digital via an iOS app and I always wondered if someone would somehow download the entire contents but I guess it never happened.
