The aCalendar app let's you choose vibration pattern, it's one of the better settings I've seen.

Under settings, we made a checkbox labeled “Run Program Faster”. The state was saved but it didn’t do anything.

We turned it “on” when people said things were slow. Usually they were happy and no one complained the “run faster” option wasn’t working.

Dad - (Defensible sounding) Noou
Me - (looking at settings, networking is switched off)
Me circa 3am - writing a python script to check for this automatically cos fml this is basic
Thanks for listening

How to get free dark theme?
1) Set theme to blindingly white
2) Go to settings and turn on invert colours.
3) Profit

Thanks Google...

Thank you Microsoft, vey cool

I had genuinely forgotten devRant had a light theme until I saw a rant about it. I went into settings and turned it on for about four seconds, screamed "MY EYES" and rejoined the dark side.

Ah yes, “Defaults insults”. Always one of the first settings on a new installation.

I'd really like a talk with the Spotify UI/UX devs.

No disrespect but DAMN that thing sucks. It shouldn't take me a full fucking minute to find the FUCKING settings!

This is one thing that deezer does well at least imo.

How many converted to the Dark Side after working Sublime??

And, now, whenever we encounter the Light Side, we initially search the settings to turn it to Dark...

- Google: Can I track you? You'd get this and that and much more if you allow me to.
- Microsoft: I will track you. Disable half of my settings if you do not want to be tracked.
- FB: I do NOT track you

I love apps that let you customize the settings, and this one is amazing. It allows the user to customize nearly everything! Even the icon color and the LED blink color.

Teacher: Computer settings are stored in the ROM on the motherboard.
Me: *internally* Uhm, yea, sure... and I am the pope
Me: Sorry to interrupt you but how come the BIOS settings get reset when the CMOS battery is pulled out or dies if they are stored in ROM?
Teacher: ....
Me: *internally* yea, that's what I thought, you have no clue what you are even saying - the BIOS is stored in ROM or flash memory while the settings are stored in NVRAM also called CMOS memory...

Dear Google,
you know exactly which languages I speak. So please explain to me why you still feel the need to push some random video titles and descriptions through Google Translate, making them look unprofessional and confusing me because I know that I watched that video already, but now it has a new title? And why is there no option to turn this off? And why do you explicitly state that the language setting does not affect text submitted by users? Even though it does? What the actual fuck?

Also lol even Google isn't perfect at using ecape characters correctly

I hate windows. Today I opened nvidia geforce experience and in the list of my games at the end there was a new game: "Minecraft: windows 10 edition", WTF???, I never installed it! Like always a google search saved me: After last updates windows will install suggested apps WITHOUT your permission. And to disable this you must edit a key in regedit. Not even a switch in system settings! Microsoft wtf are you doing?

"God Mode" in Windows 10:

1. Create a new folder on your desktop. Leave its name to be "New Folder"
2. Open CMD with administrator privileges
3. cd C:\Users\<your username>\Desktop
4. ren "New folder" ".{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"

Enjoy direct access to all and every settings. :-)

The award of fastest internet on earth goes to me :D

*note:
its just Ubuntu was not able to update date/time settings during setup cuz I had wifi turned off, turned it back on and ran apt-get update, must have started before the system was able to update its date/time settings, so ya I did not photshop :)

Is firefox getting a dark theme option by default!?! (as settings option)

How to Prank someone on Windows:

6: Profit

Came home to this.... Wtf? So MS has begun resetting settings to their liking? This is messed up... Another item to the list of why I need to get a Linux partition going..

Client : hey why does your app minimize once I receive a call? Fix this ASAP! Also why does it show *that*? I have not turned anything on!

Me : Sorry, not possible (explains), you might want to contact Google (for the lolz). Also, the feature is shown by default, you can turn it off via Menu - Settings - Navigation - xxx.

Client : Can you make the incoming call popup smaller when using your app?

Me : Unfortunately no, that's not something I can do. Contact LG.

Client : I have been to Menu - Settings - Map - XXX and the feature is still shown, why does your software not work? Also *this and that* is not shown anymore!

Me : You turned off the wrong thing... *jumps out of the window* *contemplates life* *cries* *dies*

A colleague once changed the double click timing in the mouse settings to the lowest. This made double click impossible.

Took some time to figure out, and way more to solve without double click :/

Other services : Please type your phone number to verify that it is you. It will be only used for verification process.
Me : Sure, why not? (Happily types in my number)

Facebook : Please type your phone number to verify that it is you.
Me : Hmmm (sees help)
Facebook : It will be used for verification process and will be visible to your friends. You can always change the scope settings.
Me : (reads as...) It will be used for verification process and will be visible to your friends and will be automatically sent to the NSA for free. You can always change the scope settings when you become the CEO of Facebook.

After struggling for weeks with SSL settings I finally asked @linuxxx for help.

Guess what, he made it work in about 5 minutes!

Worst part of devving? Handling fucking time. GMT, EST, daylight savings, DHCP settings overriding the actual time because some fuckwit runs a server incorrectly, dealing with Voip phones and their super flaky time profiles. Fuck time.

Why the fuck would iTunes or any product from Apple (or anywhere) care what Outlook is doing or if it's even there?!?

I have no settings, add-ons, mods, apps, or anything that would justify this!

And it came TWICE in a single update installation!!!

I just installed a firewall on my phone and immeasurable Facebook asked to Access the internet.

The thing is, Facebook is disabled through my apps settings anyways.

Just realised some people have a different devRant theme than mine. Went to settings, and joined the Dark Side.

Settings > Join the dark side.
Thank me later

I think devRant should have a feature to not procrastinate, you will need to enable it somewhere in the settings. So if it detects you are using devRant for too long it will prompt a dialog to tell you to stop procrastinating.

BTW, I think this will be the first app to deliberately try to get users out of it XD

Today I made a decision to sign up devRant because I really want to enable "Join the Dark Side" in settings...

Almost got my audio settings set up, so close to actually sounding like me! :-D

Let's install some Addons! Hmm where is that menu item... oh could it be called Extensions? No? Wait... maybe Plugins then?

Maybe it's inside of a Settings window. Oh there's nothing called settings in this endless menu I think. Or is it called Preferences? Options? Properties? Configuration? Ugh and should I look in the File or Edit or Extra menu in this App, Application and/or Program?

Maybe I can Search for it?

OH YOU FUCKING NAMED THAT FIND INSTEAD OF SEARCH, YOU PRESUMPTUOUS PRICK, I CAN'T FUCKING FIND ANYTHING IN YOUR BLOATED GOO OF A GUI.

*scrambles back into his bash-shell like a hermit crab, making soft defensive noises*

That awkward moment when you're out and there are so many people around and you have nothing to do. So you take out your phone and browse through the app list and settings... Just browsing and doing nothing. I do that so much. Anyone else like me? 🙈

IDE settings

I like logging into public wireless networks where the admin credentials are the default and mess with their wireless settings...

Am I wrong?

When I hear, "master/slave" I don't think about terminology and syntax for a programming language I dislike because of its silly functional indent requirements. I think of jumper settings on IDE hard disks in the '90s. Primary master, secondary master, primary slave, secondary slave.

Changed Firewall settings on remote server. Forgot to open ssh... 😑

I run kubuntu on my work laptop with various security settings in place. All of my other colleagues run Windows 10.

My manager recently noticed I wasn't running Windows and told me I was a threat to the security of the companies network...

Congrats dude

Installed DevRant. Check settings. Immediately click join darkside. Utter disappointment follows.

My favourite Linux distribution is Windows, it just works and has thousand of settings available !

I just remembered I had changed my system settings from 'lock after 5 mins of inactivity' to 'lock never' (during an installation)

But I can't remember if I actually logged off after work! Dammit.

I’m a backend guy.
But because of reasons I’m editing a winforms json settings editor.

There has to be another way.

goddammit Microsoft, why do I have to remove your fkking internet explorer icon and store icon after every update! noo I don't want it in my bar. gtfo! leave my settings as they were! How hard can it be? Think: does this fuck up someone s personal settings? if yes , DON'T DO IT.

Tools i use on windows to make life better, what do u use ?
I use :-
1. processhacker
2. conemu with gitbash(if longer time switch to fish)
3. Services+ from codeplex
4. pickpick for screenshots
5. windows default workspaces(they are pretty decent now)
6. bandizip
7. onecommander
8. from developer settings i turn on show file extensions
9. ditto for clipboard

I really want to.
I want to get away from Windows.
But I have yet to find a distro that works.

Today I tried again again.
I found out Linux Mint released version 19.
Snapshots integrated. Cool. I will try it.

Installed with Cinnamon. Looks nice. Everything is running fast.

Aaaaand I hate the mouse movement...
Why is there no 1:1 movement? Is acceleration on? Does not feel like it.
Ok. We can fix this right?
Opened the Mouse settings.
There is no way of deactivating mouse acceleration. Only customizing the amount of acceleration. What?

Ok customize it. No change at all.
Try extreme settings. Nothing.

Google for a solution. Says I should install dconf-editor and change settings there.

Install it, change the settings. Hey it works!
It is far from perfect but I can live with that.

Now the scroll wheel is so slow...
But there is no setting at all? Not even in dconf-editor.

Google the solution. Need to install imwheel and configure it. Really?
Okay will do. I wanna use this.

Finally. Mouse works as it should.

After all that, why is my lap so hot? Fucking hell the cpu seems to be burning.

Fuck that!
I am out! Back to Windows!

fucking hosting company...

Just got a ticket back explaining that "the settings you want to make to your mysql database aren't possible with our hosting products". While they state in their FAQ that there are no restrictions applied. (We are talking about to possibility of using JOIN here!)

Ducking fuck.

Thanks for save my settings

tired of my tor browser not letting me do my job (still configuring settings, but it's taking too long and i'm getting tired of it), and chrome doesn't show my mouse pointer (which works everywhere else on my machine).

Time to go back to firefox. downloading nightly this time, though. thoughts on it? any default settings I should change for security or to make it better in general?

I found another cookie overloaded website.
Update: It is now 305 cookies

And yet again, I turned all settings for that off, so only one cookie should be needed to store that decision.

Have anyone else noticed how all websites require you to become a part of them as soon as you go there nowadays? Does anyone know why?

So many steps and guilt to close accounts these days....

Even had to Google how to close it ... It's not in account settings...

HATE “APPLICATIONS” THAT CHANGE BROWSER SETTINGS.

If you’re a “developer” who has ever created such annoying nonsense - come show me who you are, I want to punch you in the face.

There is a special place in hell for malware coders...

Properly setting the height on my 3d printer and spending time tweaking settings? Nah.

Putting pieces of cardboard under the bed until it prints okay is the way to go

Sometimes I feel like a Jedi:
My boss says: Look the app is not sending any notifications.

I just have a feeling that he deactivated notifications in the app settings.

I check that and it was deactivated

Does that count as Jedi skills ? Or just programmer intuition

I nervously clicked the join dark side button in the settings menu, then instantly like life got better.

Just checked my laptop uptime and it's been on one charge for exactly 1 month, with average use and aggressive tlp/powertop settings 😰

I hate Microsoft. Somehow they always manage to fuck up.

Last time it was Microsoft Store not being able to download software properly because "privacy settings were set improperly". Before that it was constant BSOD's (luckily those have been taken care of for the most part!). And on every goddamn update.. all the fucking settings are reset. Because that's just how useful the Windows registry is for keeping settings persistent. FUCK YOU MICROSHIT!!! Say what you want about Google but at least settings are kept stable in Android across releases. Now tell me Microsoft, how difficult can it really be?! In the words of my operator, CERTIFIED PIECES OF SHIT!!!

But yeah, let's introduce new FEATURES, let's focus our efforts on getting our data collection hooks to hook even deeper into the system! BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT USERS WANT!!! No Microshaft, fuck you. Nobody wants those data collection hooks. But data is money, right? Your users are nothing but data batteries, right? Fuck you Microsoft.

Have been using my laptop and phone with flux on constant settings 24/7 for so long now, the pure white contrast hurts my eyes.

"OMG PLZ HELP NOBODY CAN CALL ME!!!¡¡ THIZ STUPID PHONE IS SO SHITTY"

Did you press anything?

"NOTHING I SWEAR!"

Yeah, I see that you are messing with the settings. Is that nothing to you?

I can understand that you accidentally navigate to the settings, but if you blame everything on your phone and lie to me, expect me to do the same.

Whenever I feel like too much of an idiot to be a developer, I go to settings and tap my device info 10 times.

Le me...

*installs devRant*
wew, nice app, digs a bit here & there.

* jumps on the settings*
*sees JOIN THE DARK SIDE?*
*slides the slider and endsUp getting Join devRant SignUp page* :/

*creates an account*
*clicks on JOIN THE DARK SIDE? With over 9999999 excitement*

When you realize you had sharpening enabled in your monitor settings and you turn it off and shit just looks so much better...

I mean this is a necessary setting when using VGA but this monitor is connected via DVI!
Also some people just do not seem to notice this and leave this enabled on their screens.

IT dept releases update for Cisco Jabber for work environment and describes it as a minor update.

Me installs new version...
- completely new UI
- loses saved login credentials
- loses connected devices
- loses all settings
- loses history

My definition of "minor" is "slightly" different

In Android O RAM statistics got moved to developer settings.
So this means you are a Dev if you know what ram is??

Newbie just started this week and went changing hibernate settings on us. Changed hbm2ddl from update to create, which nukes the data on every deploy. She thought she was working against her local DB when in fact she was pointed at the shared integration database, thus nuking INT. Through a couple hours of PL/SQL wizardry, I managed to resurrect the data. Within 5 minutes of giving the team the all clear, the data disappeared again...betcha can guess what happened...again!

Just arrived in Sydney 2 days ago and reported for work yesterday. I looked at my laptop's clock and it said its 4:40pm. Cool! Another 20 min and I'm off.

I started fiddling around with my machine settings and noticed my Location setting is off. I switched it on. My time is updated to 2:43pm.

MOTHERF****!!!

Anyone know how to change your devrant password? I can't find it in settings

I'm on windows 10 and I want to access the sound settings window to disable a speaker. I press the win key and as I start typing "sound" the first result that pops up is "voice" settings. So accurate. Thanks Cortana, very cool!

After months of googling and troubleshooting my router settings trying to figure out why my port forwarding settings are not working only to realize that I'M BEING CGNATTED TO OBLIVION BY MY FUCKING ISP WITHOUT A FUCKING NOTICE!

y.

Omg how stupid some people are... Today at my university I used the first time one of the computers in the computer room and there is a portable Firefox installed in a shared space on the computer and that is also where it saved settings etc. So this is the same for every user on that particular computer.

And when I checked the security settings I found that about 10 different accounts were saved and accessible with website username and password.

So of course the shared space Firefox is bad, but you still shouldn't save you password on a public computer :S

PS: If anyone needs a webmail account or an account for the german university network contact me :P

My Windows friend: They say I need to setup Environment variables!!

Me: Oh! I've done that before.

After 5 minutes...
Me: How do I get into that Advanced Settings???!!!

This is how I figured out I figured out how to fix my proxy settings.

Can not Netflix and chill (work) anymore.

My router just reset it self to the factory settings 😟🔫

1. Go to my setup
2. Lights off
3. Lamp on
4. Door closed
5. Headphones on
6. Run zone.bat or zone.sh depending (yes, I have a script - it puts on music, at wherever I am in the album, changes sound & display settings, and a few other things.
7. Set breaktime alarm (I forget otherwise)
8. Code
9. When breaktime alarm goes off:
9a. Get a ginger beer and since biscuits
9b. Eat
9c. Repeat from 7

Mom: How do you change my Outlook settings so fast?
Me: Years of training...

What’s the most nonsensical habit that your non-tech-savvy friends or family have with computers or electronic devices?

Here’s mine: when my parents first got iPhones, they were deathly afraid of going over their data plan limit, so they would go into Settings and turn cellular data off whenever they weren’t actively using the phone...

Backend API developer that doesn't admit his mistakes. Damn, he's annoying the whole team.

Basically crashed the whole app by messing up the settings for the CORS policy, and still doesn't admit it. When he fixed it, the only reply we get was "I erased the thing and put it back and it works".

WOW!

The unsubscribe link on the emails from whois.com redirects you to a fucking PDF with written instructions on how to unsubscribe...
Are you fucking kidding me?

I have to go on your website, login, go through 4 fucking sections in the settings to finally select "NO" in a radio button???
It should be illegal.

I've just found the worst website ever. After some seconds, they show a banner with the usual "agree to our use of cookies" stuff. Of course, I clicked on settings. So it opens another page in another tab. As I started to read that page, another banner was displayed. Ofc I clicked on settings. The same page was opened in yet a new tab. I think you can see we're this is going...

I think something's mildy wrong with the kde display settings... 🤔

Why is this scary button in the settings? 😨
I tapped it by accident!

What the actual fuck GitHub/CircleCI?!??

I transformed a GitHub account into an organisation and lost admin access to a repo even though I'm the owner of the organisation. Now I can't even access the settings for the repo on CircleCI. What the hell? WHAT THE HELL?!!?! THE FUKKKKKKKKKKKk?

Realized i slack too much because of third monitor that i use for "background" youtube,tv shows, movies. Removed it also forced my self to working by just playing music with headphones and dimmed light.

Settings some goals for each day.
And when i feel i got too distracted do 20 pushups.

I love devRant.

So there I am on the devRant website, busy clicking through options I haven't checked before; I click on "Settings", then the options "Logout" and "Delete Account" appear.

It just so happens that when the options came up, the mouse is hovering over the "Delete Account" button, at the thought of such my mind was like - Ahh! Nooo!

Pressed Build Number 7 times...

I'm a developer now! 😍😁

Open devrant, scroll through algo till you see stuff from yesterday, click settings, go to recent and continue

So, I was making a sort of "pre-autumn-cleaning" on some of my accounts (changing passwords, secret answers, canceling accounts/subscriptions, etc), when I arrive to devRant and go to the settings option just to found these options...

So... Really ಠ_ಠ? "Logout" and "Delete Account" are the only settings available via web browser?

I know that I can't expect the full range of settings that are present on the mobile app, but what the hell, I was expecting a little more than that...

installing visual studio & nuget & git integration
- nuget: WORKS
- templates: WORK
- framework: IS COMPLETE
- support for design patterns: UP TO DATE
-have a ide which is clear to be the ide to develop in microsoft/c# area, kept up to date, etc..

installing eclipse & maven
- try to find out which version suits you best in that open source jungle, install it
- install jdk
- play around with the eclipse settings to point it to jdk instead of jre
- google a settings.xml for maven
- fail do create a maven build, so the .mv directory is here, so you can
- place the settings there
- manually import some certs
- try if maven dependencies work
- google how to define running goals
- now define your running goals
- BUT as a reward, the git plugin just works without having to troubleshoot tomorrow too
- hope they wont update soon

My Friday feels like a Monday that won't go away. A full weeks progress cleared away by one dumbass that deleted my build, test settings, and backups.

Welcome to another 30 hour weekend.

The IT department at my school doesn't know anything on Ubuntu or even Linux for that matter.
I asked them how I could connect to the WiFi on Ubuntu, cause I couldn't connect and they just said there was nothing they could do.
After that I spend two days to figure out how to connect and finally I got it working.
Next time I don't ask if they can help. I just ask for the settings and do it myself...

My 8 year old nephew gave me a call
nephew: I think I deleted recycle bin
Me: you need to make some settings for it to show on the desktop
Nephew: what should I do
Since I was on Ubuntu and he was on windows I made few guesses
Me: right click the mouse go to personalization then click on theme
Nephew: okay wait......done now
Me: what do you see on the top left
Nephew: fan
Me: hang yourself

Jenkins, could you please stop bullying me?

Nearly 2 am, took a nice hot shower, got some warm clothes n slippers on..... This here is programming settings.

It's frustrating when network guy blame tomcat is not running and hence something wrong with application without fucking checking proxy settings. Fucking waste my 2 hours and in the end he looks like idiot. Good Morning.

Asked my colleague not to commit android settings and build files into git, ignores me and goes ahead to do it anyway. Now, every time I pull from Git, I have 6k+ files that are changed 😑

Was wondering why my script wasn't working. Added it to my node modules. Imported the style sheet with a require. Checked the gulp config file. Made sure it was in my pipeline. Checked my webpack settings and made sure jquery was loaded first. Checked my version on npm, crossed referenced with my package.json file. Why isn't it working....forgot to add the script tag in my html😤

Who is that genius at Microsoft thought about that if adding a new email to outlook on Android and credentials are wrong, CLOSE THE WINDOW AND GO BACK TO SETTINGS!!

Error message says wrong username/password then let me fucking fix them not go back and enter everything from scratch (outgoing, incoming servers, username, password)

Fuck this shit -_-

Just updated my motherboards bios and didn't think to fucking backup the fucking uefi settings so now it won't fucking detect fucking grub or windows boot manager fucking fucking fucking cunt

Dear theme designers, unless you are designing an app specifically with OLED in mind... Do not use black as a main background colour.

It just looks horrible IMO, key example on good dark theme is the windows store and a example of horrible dark theming is the settings app.

And mini rant over.

@dfox An option in the Settings to keep from getting notifications about "News comments on a post you commented on!"

Goes to settings.
Turns on "Hide posts that are voted repost" switch
Suddenly feed is nothing *but* reposts.
Wat

Some mtfckr changed the brightness and locked the monitor settings panel.

Why the hell do we always have to go into the settings to set a sleep timer in Google Play Music... Can't Google just put a button in the menu where the song is playing.....
Also you can't open the left panel from main music page coz it causes the song to change....

PS: My First Rant

Removed Python and accidentally almost all programs (including firefox) and a lot of settings on my laptop..😕 I think I need to reinstall my entire OS.. 😅

I keep a blogger for tech notes for programs and settings that were difficult problems or took up a lot of time to find the solution or so I can remember years later if I ever return to those programs. Just in case to save myself and others time. It's kind of like an adventurer's log: I've gone through these stretches of technological wilderness and here are my findings, should one day you happen upon them.

Hey, you can change your"fuckedup usernames"now(in case you aren't aware)
settings-edit username.
and you are done!
congo! for new "wwooww" name!!

I'm getting crazy: how do you prevent YouTube from automatically translate YT titles and descriptions? It's driving me nuts! I never switched this on and I can't find any localization settings!

I just can't use a trackpad. I've tried many times, tweaked all the settings but always end up plugging in a mouse. Maybe it's because I is shit?

I was testing a change on my local copy of our companies calendar application under my co workers account because he has different settings.
Turns out email notifications are working, and I've been spamming people about fake events under my co workers name.
Whoops

Yesterday I was reminded by myself why I prefer working on backend instead on frontend. Css is definitely one of the shittiest things I've ever seen especially if you try to overwrite some Css settings if the used cms theme.

When you change some bios settings and your computer is acting like it's bricked but unplugging the cmos and battery for an hour fix it 👌

People ask me why I prefer Windows: decided to install Mint, it crashed upon choosing a timezone. Had to not set a timezone to move past that bug. Then the install hangs. Turns out I should've edited the grub boot settings because I'm using an nvidia GPU. What the actual fuck? How is anyone supposed to know that?

Atom vs Visual Studio Code

What are you using and why?

I'm currently on Atom and wanna try out VSCode. Having looked at the settings (Holy fu**, are there many of 'em) I feel kind of lost.

I just fucked myself big time with iptable rules and blocked all incoming connections to my WiFi-AP. No SSH, can't go back, time for a factory-reset...

Ohhhhh so now this was what has been wrong. The gpu clocks were always low.
On high i can play doom on ultra settings at 45 fps. Ouuuuuu yes.
Skyrim wait for me. We will turn up those settings.

Project configurations... why, for ffs, whenever i come to old project i need to deal with configurations, build systems, certificates, project settings. I want to write code not dedicate my life to Maven and making directories by hand for Android Flavors.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Thank you Micro$oft once again for your updates. Woke up this morning, logged on to my laptop and the keyboard layout is again changed to something else and touchpad settings have been reset to shit.

Thanks for doing this again and again and again. I really need my Windows to have the latest cantonese fonts and blind people support.

I've disabled automatic updates on windows 10 long time back. Still they download and updates every time.

Do they have some hidden settings that only can be disabled by a non-linux user?

Had a fun adventure this morning. Had to deliver some bags to some houses. Entered the addresses in Google Maps. Off we go. First house, no problem. Second house, and Google is taking me on a weird route, through some parking lots and stuff. Finally, it wants me to turn onto a bike trail. WTF? My Google maps is set for bike routes. Went a lot faster when I set it to car. No wonder there were so many bikes and the road seemed so narrow.

I really got in love with nodejs and shit. And to be honest, the whole async thing isn't that shitty either. I mean the performance itself seems to be whack af (see onoff benchmarks for reference) but your whole project is more responsive.

BUT FOR FUCKS SAKE THE ASYNC WRITE DOWN OF A SETTINGS FILE FOLLOWED BY SOME STUPID CRASH INDUCING MISTAKE I MADE MYSELF, LEADING TO THE WRITE FUCK UP AND ESSENTIALLY ERASE THE FUCKING CONTENTS OF THE DAMN SETTINGS FILE IS JUST LIKE SMEARING TOOTHPASTE ALL OVER MY FRIGGIN BALLSACK!

Trying to play Warframe with my son. Why do I spend 3 hours updating Steam and/or Warframe and troubleshooting drivers and settings for every 1 hour of play?

Dear client. Your web development project budget has no room in it for me to help you fix your broken POP3 mail settings. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Working with a vendor's api. Every call is coming back error. Emails back and forth for two weeks, sending logs, changing settings, encoding urls...

From them: oh, this field needs to be unique.

Me: how are you just now catching that?!

The doc showed it to be a specific value. We must be their first client or something.

Had a Windows update the other day. Now hyperv isn't working anymore.

I fixed it but why the fuck does the update change the group policy settings? It's supposed to update the system not poke around in my settings!

Took me solid 9min to realise I'm changing admin settings on testing server, was mindfucked why my local is not reflecting any changes.
Now I want to slap myself.....

When you write an email to a fellow developer stating that he should disable Instant Run to hopefully get rid of a bug he gets and the developer calls you on phone to ask how he can disable Instant Run and you just want to yell at him "SEARCH IN THE SETTINGS YOU DUMBFUCK!" but you keep it cool and just say "open the settings and search for instant run"
and then you see that he might have trouble finding the build variant settings as well so you tell him where it is and you realize that this fellow developer is not a unique snowflake but the fucking average "skill level" employee in this firm.... Did I tell you that I am looking for another job?

As a sequel to my previous rant:
Me: git pull origin develop

Prettier: * runs *

* 5000 new changes in 43 files *

Thanks prettier, that's exactly what i wanted to happen. I guess it's time for me to tweak its settings a little.

This is all the DHCP settings I get on this shitty router I got from my ISP. The other settings are more the less the same, which is trash. Don't even get me started on the interface.

The thing doesn't even support *WRT firmwares because it has a Realtek CPU.

Thanks. Guess I'll have to buy a new router now...

Anybody else get that massive windows 10 update today that fucking wipes a ton of your settings. Desktop image gone, privacy settings turned back, firewall settings reset.

Fuck I really need visual studios for Linux.

Settings be like..
yo dude you want your home directory on C: or D:?

Me: let's use D: pls.

Every program uses D, cus there is HOMEPATH.

Cmd be like..
C:\Users\Mofo>

While waiting at the airport for my flight I’ve received no less than four emails from a competing airline. I think it’s time to check my location settings on the other airlines app.

In my early days of web development I was on the lookout for a good PHP IDE and stumbled upon Komodo IDE. Never in my life have I asked for a refund so fast. Crashed at the most random times, such as when opening files and folders. Even accessing the settings could cause it to crash. Besides that I found it slow af.

VS Code, WTF is wrong with your tab stops?
I set to 2 and you still use 4.
I say use spaces for tabs and you still put tabs in my document.
Tab settings by doc type? Not existing or working.

Damn you!
Just work

So due to some necessary repairs on my Nokia 6.1 i had to use an iPhone for the last 2 weeks (was the device they gave me for the duration of the repair). And let me say something in advance: I own a Macbook Pro, i own an iPad Pro, both devices are excellent for what i use them for. I enjoy OS X, i enjoy iOS on the tablet. But oh boy is the iPhone a shitshow of a magnitude i have never seen.

First off: The notifications. They feel like Android 4 or something. No customization, no grouping, not context. Also the swipe down gesture simply blocks whatever i am doing.

Multitasking: What a shitshow. There is no continuity, apps reload on a whim, no switching between apps (except that strange thing where the app shows up on the left upper screen, but i can't go back from there?)

Settings: WHY ARE APPS SETTINGS IN THE GLOBAL SETTINGS!! And not even all settings are. They are all over the place. And the settings are so convoluted and bloated, i can't find half of the things i am looking for.

Clock & Alarm: Goddamn that design choice with the edit button infuriates me to no end. Why can't i click an alarm and simply edit it? Also: Why do i have to enter the clock app to even see which alarm is going off next?

The Appdrawer: WHY CAN'T I SORT MY APPS BY NAME?? I have to conciously remember where i put things. Apps i use rarely, apps i use often.

God, iOS on the phone is so fucking terrible.

I learned you can access developer options on Android by tapping your build number in the information settings, it gives you a little notification and reveals the secrets hidden from the average user. It's neat, I like it, you should see if it helps you in any way If you use Android.

My employer requires admin privileges to update cleartype settings :) I forgot my glasses at home just let me fix it :/

Client: my email isn't working.
Settings are ok. Me: can you download team viewer for me? I have to look it myself. Client: Yeah I can't since I haven't Internet. Me: *slaps forehead* email is working with internet only. you have to recover your connection.
Never heard of this client since then

Your favorite linux distribution? Which window manager / desktop env do you use? I have a popOS from System_76 with default settings (so gnome) :-)

Heyo fellow i3wm-users.
Please give me some inspiration for my next setup.
What are your color-settings do you have,
What applauncher do you use,
What programs work really well with i3 or something completely different?

I was 4 I think. Managed to reconfigure the IP and DNS settings and got the internet working again (it was a dial-up, in 2002). My entire family thought I was a prodigy of sorts (I am not).

Now all I do is restart the wifi if it's not working.

Had to do a WordPress installation move from development to production server. Exported database, changed hostname, imported database, settings missing.
Guess who's manually applied all settings and backed up the > 5GB old site.

I really hate hoster that don't allow SSH tunneling for SQL access 😩

(First rant. Just felt like I might put my struggles into a rant and it might just feel better.)

10 hours ago I was trying to install manjaro on my laptop. I have run into problems with the nvidicancer drivers, as one would expect, but at least I had a working OS. I was following a video tutorial that instructed me to tweak some grub settings, and I was able to do it with no problem.

Now on the other hand, I am following the EXACT SAME procedure (same partition, same installer, same settings),but after I update-grub,everything freezes including the command itself.

How is it possible that doing the exact same procedure at different times of the day gives me two different results? Is my laptop sentient and simply "not in the mood" anymore, or what the fuck?

How can a big company as Facebook, allow that many functions of its website are just untested?

I make you an example, access the mobile version of Facebook from browser, go to a group and change the notifies settings, then refresh the page. The settings returns as before! If I did something like this I'd get fired in less than 0.1 seconds

I have a question about UI/UX
I have multiple settings that user can toggle on/off.
Those settings are used to customize notifications (it's an app that saves notes to notifications)
I was wondering if I should use checkboxes or switch

I'm sure that some of you play LoL, so this might be interesting for you:
Riot has just released (actually, it's been existing for quite a long time, but they told noone about it before) an (undocumented) API for the new client, with it you can actually control the whole client's interface or get and modify client side information and settings.

macs... I know I didn't like them before, but recently I wanted set up a vpn on another person's pc and first it didn't want to install because it was a third party program. understandable, change security settings, try again, works. and now... EVERY TIME the user wants to connect it asks for a password, because the vpn client is "changing system settings". whenever the pc is locked, it disconnects and asks for a password whenever you log in again.

The saying that macbooks "just work" has to be extended to "the most basic functionality kind of works, most of the time".

Or maybe I'm just ignorant and unable to handle the glory of mac osx

I hate when game developers make games without difficulty settings. Some people are more interested in the story, some are handicapped and so on... Don't tell your users how they should play your game...

Fuck Joomla and all of its stupid iframe blocking settings

So i was commenting on a rant by some user where we had this conversation about IDEs and editors...
Point: Intellij has an option to set a background to the whole ide which gives coding a unique experience instead of the pale dull solid color background.

Go to Settings > Appearance > Background image is in the main appearance tab click and set the image, position, transparency ... And voila u have a background image on your editor.

Alternative way just go to settings and search for background image

Get a screenshot of your colleague's desktop screen with the taskbar in the bottom. Adjust the taskbar settings to hide and move it to the upper side of the screen. Watch as how your colleague bust a gut.

This damn Google Gboard voice typing switches between German and English, although in the settings only German is enabled.... This is so annoying goddamn...

Soo insyde BIOS got a big bug via 17.10 ubuntu iso
- Settings not getting saved in bios
- USB booting is a no-go.
- suspend never wakes up without battery removal
Infected systems mostly include acer, LENoVO and hp mainly

I am surprised it took them this long to notice the bug.

My father mainly believes I'm the one fucking his settings up. I only use his computer to read my e-mails. Once a year.
My mother keeps asking me: "what about your work? Shouldn't you be doing something about THAT instead?"

I'm fucking not able to connect my virtualbox's host only adapter to the fucking internet since 3 days now

Fuuuuuccckkk

Selecting a particular network to be shared will make me require to change settings every time I connect to different WiFi/LAN (Even though I couldn't even get that working)

Maybe even someone here can help me

why.... why on this freaking earth would you go an enable Hypervision on me?

seriously #Windows, you are starting to drive me over the edge.

theres nothing like powering up a centos server - yea not even a DE, (that had no issues yesterday) and getting "VT-x is not available".

the last thing im going to think to look at is you enabling your bullshit despite it was already disabled,

When you do the drag and remove of the react-native app on the phone and realise on the next build it doesnt work because i need to remove app from settings because it got disabled

Its Friday, i spent less time that younger me would have finding that. I consider it a successful debug session.

When the compile works fine but IDE doesn't link regardless of settings.
With this many errors I think it's telling me CPP is wrong

Fuck this god damn router. Up to now I was really happy with the router/modem my ISP gave me (UPC Connect Box) but today I set up pi-hole on my raspberry and found out that I can't change my fucking routers DNS settings....

Why do apps dont keep the black theme as default!??
From any ide to Twitter to even devrant!
Black theme looks so cool.. Why not just set it as the default one! Most users switch to it eventually anyways.
I am sick of searching it in the settings everytime I install a new app.

Someone called me and asked why wasn't Linux live USB working. I asked him to check whether safe boot was disabled from bios. His reply I can't find boot settings in windows settings.

This would not be a big thing if it was some non technical person. The person who called me was a CS student.

*claps*

I think he was trying to find a runnable file from the live USB.

Windows is made for users who DON'T want full control. Funny tho how people wanting this control and seeing themselves needing this control are too stupid to find out how to actually control it.

But what am I saying. To cite @Stuxnet: REEE WINHOES BAD

All those dials, buttons, settings, options. It's a fucking washing machine, why can't I put washing in and press fucking wash.

Open my Windows 10 laptop and the night light is still on from last night. It's 10am.

Go to night light settings and they're disabled.

Move on and keep working.

After an hour, had enough so google the problem. Looks like it's reasonably common and and there's a registry fix to enable the settings again.

Apply settings. Go to settings and they're all enabled!

However, they don't do anything anymore. Night light is still on.

TL;DR:
Problem Night light settings widgets are disabled.
Solution: Enable night light widgets, but don't make them change night light

New update available on your phone...

Wait people to teste it before installing. It look stable, ok i will install it

After the update

Fucking shit the clock is on the left side 🤮 what the fuck is this shit android... The settings menu is now a ducking mess. The finger print scan is so slow i can cooke an egg before he unlock the phone. The multi tasking screen is like iphone and look like a garbedge. Some applications rushing running.

I mistakenly denied while installing virtualbox's driver install dialogue which was set to remember settings, now no option to clear fcking INF cache in windows 10.

FCK windows.

So I want to boot to no-failure mode on windows 10 to reinstall my video driver...

Start menu > Settings > Security and Update > Restore > Advanced start > Reboot now > Fix > Advanced settings > Settings (yes settings submenu after advanced settings one) > Reboot (total: 9 clicks)

Computer: *reboot*

Computer: Press F4 to boot to no failure mode

Me: *Press F4*
Computer: ...
Me: *Waits 5 seconds*
Me: *Press F4*
Computer: ...
Me: *Is confused*
...
Me: *Looks at keyboard*
Keyboard: *Is not powered*

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT !!!

*Reboot to normal mode...*

Win+R "msconfig" > Boot > Minimal > "Would you like to reboot your computer now" > Yes

*Reboot to no-failure mode*

EAT THAT PIECE OF SHIT !

Two identical websites. Both have identical files, settings, and contents. Both have identical style.css files.

One has H1-H6 headings that display in the "Rye" font as I've specified. The other's "Rye" font is completely AWOL. I'm just getting the site default.

But the sites are exact clones of each other?!?!?!

Well, fuck. I was messing with my grandma's phone settings, now she can't send or receive SMS anymore, and I can't remember how to set everything back the way it was.
Why the fuck did I have to mess with it anyway? Everything was working correctly, and now it's borked.
Sigh

I should create a contact form for support requests.

Me: I can't connect to the mail server with the settings you've send me.

Employer: It works. I can send and receive mails with Outlook.

Me: Ok, I will check my code.

Employer: It has to work. I even checked the informations I send you about the mail server settings and they are the correct ones.

I've tried every configuration which could be possible and rewrote my code. It wont work, so I tried to use my own mail server and it worked immediately.

Me: I've tried everything but I can't connect to your mail server. After a while I've tried to connect to my own and it works just fine.

Employer: oh...

Every time I open devRant, I have >0 Notifs. Why am I never notified by Android about this anymore? I used to get one Android notification for each devRant notif in the list. Now, my phone never goes off for any of them and nothing from devRant appears in my android notifications. I did not change my settings. Running latest app version on Android 6.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fucked a clients wordpress website up by editing a saved option thats saved as serialised php data. Tried using the row data from a backup and updating it in the database and it still loads the fallback theme settings. What do?

Windows : fuck you i delete your KMS file

Windose : your licence is expiring in 30 days

Me: re apply KMS and disable that fucking useless anti virus

Window just self permit to delete my file with no fucking reason and not notify me in is shiti settings panel

Dear Windows,

you done fucked it up!
I had a god damnit run, finishing the last mammoth task of our sprint.
Then, i decided to take a 3 minutes bio break.
Came back to my machine just to realise that this little OS bitch sneaked up on me, used the few seconds of my break to do a unholy, reboot of doom and damnation.
As a result, my virtual machine dropped it's php-storm settings...
I lost my precious focus on the task and my last nerves to figure out the correct settings again.

To cut a long story short.
We missed the aim of the Sprint.
The Sprint failed and i got a half-baked module.
At least, all the complicated businesslogic is proper covered by unittests.

Recommendations for customizing vim & i3 for programming workflow?
Do you have any settings/plugins you prefer?
Also, any nice ideas for compiling latex docs while writing it in vim? Like a side by side thing maybe, not really looking for ide.

Debugs part of project with a colleague.
Framework I am using across all projects might be problematic on deployment.
Colleague: "You can just change the framework" - proceeds to head towards project settings.

Me: *twitches* 😳 - "If you change the framework right now I will kill you"

Colleague: seemingly shocked. "...talk properly dude... (jeez)"

So my aunt called because her phone had ran out of storage as she had "by mistake" disabled Play Store,WhatsApp, Browser, Chrome and every other fucking app, and she had to install WhatsApp back. After an hour of struggle explaining her to move her songs to memory card, enabling Chrome and Play Store, installing WhatsApp, I have started to lose faith from humaninty.

To make things worse, every Android phone manafacturer feels obligatory to change the settings app as per their wish and I didn't have a clue where the settings to enable apps were on her phone.

And I had to do all this through a phone call

And I can't say "No"

There should be a button in Android: I'm too dumb for all this stuff
