  1. I searched, I didn't see anything. Sorry if I'm bad at it Anyway, just had a move this week, and as part of the move, my wife and I opted to switch to Telus (she's a Telus contractor and gets a discount). Prior to, we asked them if we'd have any issues with port forwarding, because I run some services at home that I connect to remotely. One of the most important to me is access to Emby, as I use it for music and video on-the-go. Telus is absolutely useless to talk to. They'll fumble around for an answer, or mostly a non-answer, will try to pawn you off on to the manufacturer before finally just telling you they don't support it. It's baffling. This was a non-issue with Shaw. I'm 2 days in to a contract with Telus, and they're already making me want to leave. Did we shoot ourselves in the foot here? Is this fixable? Do I really need to go buy a new router and bridge their stupid ONT? Why the hell is Telus living in the 90s?
  2. I dunno, I feel like a Canadian company (LMG) should probably try to be a bit more inclusive instead of just US only. The fact that Origin even had a laptop in this video doesn't make any sense, and just felt like a paid review or advertisement via Origin. I'm the first to admit that I don't love every single video that LTT (or LMG as a whole, I suppose), but I've never felt like I was watching something quite as underhanded as this video. Just watching it felt like there was some kind of disclosure missing. I guess trying to pay for the 8K cameras and the construction were more expensive than planned? This ... makes me feel dirty... both as a Canadian and a fan of LTT.
  3. Follow it through. Starts with a loop. It'll only run once. It creates an integer (i) with a value of one, then sets the loop condition to check if i is greater than or equal to one, and to increase the value after the loop runs (i++). Then it just runs through a bunch of variables. First, it sets variable y to the value of i as a string (type casting), so y = "1" Then it sets variable x to "C:\\", the first backslash escapes the second so it actually assigns the value correctly. It'd probably error when running without it. Next it creates two strings, z and yk, with some random text. It's not important what the values of these strings are. It then creates a variable sc that contains the values of z + yk, so sc now becomes both of those two random strings of text in the previous two lines. Next it creates variable gh and assigns it the value of x and y, so gh = "c:\\1" Next line creates variable lp, assigns it gh+".txt", so lp = "c:\\1.txt" Now it creates the actual file (c:\1.txt) on your hard disk. Next line opens that file so that the following line can write data to it. The line after that (bn.write(sc)) will write the data in the sc variable (the two random strings that were concatenated) Then it closes the writer stream and tells you it's done. When it's done, you should be able to open c:\1.txt and see the data written to the file.
  4. Followed! I'm using a 10 year old Logitech G15. It's bad enough that at some point in time, a wire separated on the inside, and I didn't have a soldering iron at the time. I ended up just twisting everything back together and used packing tape to get it to stay together in a wire-shaped ball of tape. The awesome blue backlight is barely visible any more and does this weird pulse thing (kinda like PWM pulses, except visible). It's a wreck, and due for replacement. I'd love to go back to the world of mechanical, I grew up in the original era of mechanical keyboards and I really miss the feeling.
