i have had to uninstall a bunch of apps and then reinstall it because it was purchased on a different icloud account and would not update?? they were all free apps though but this might help

i wound up finding somebody on the internet who said they had the same problem and that disabling time synchronization solved the problem for them. i tried it, and things started downloading and installing :shrug:

you know how there are those usb flash drive looking things that fake mouse or keyboard input as pranks or so your screen doesn't sleep?

is there one of those for hdmi to fake a black screen so "no signal" doesn't bounce around

an av reciever maybe?

my fallback is to get a raspberry pi and just program the linux to display all black (that should be easy lol)

i did some searching and with all of the chromecasts and firetv sticks i'm really surprised there isn't a digital picture frame thing that has a usb port on one side and an hdmi port on the other side and you just load it up with pictures of kitties and plug it into any tv

what are you doing that you'll want/need an active hdmi signal that displays nothing but black?

it's for work, we have an hdmi switcher for a presentation tv and we want one of the options to be "blank screen" if people need to temporarily blank the screen to pull something up but the switcher tries to be smart and won't switch to an input if there's no signal there

r-pi or android tv stick will be your best bets

i asked this before but didnt get a clear answer or maybe I just forgot

I need to set up a static website for a business... perhaps incorporate a blog/update section? anyway mostly just about the business and then contacts and yeah.

any wsiwig online tools? who are good for hosting? i shoul;d probably host it here in zn I guess? i'll need a domain.. a host.. and a website..

would it be shameful to use wordpress or tumblr or something and roll my own html/css/whatever its called? at least then updating with news would be very easy??

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

seconded, you can very easily set up fastmail to work with your own domain(s) and they've been very reliable in my experience

I have a thing for courageous dongles

I've gotten tasked with handling the membership database for a non-profit. It's currently in access and owned by one person, but we need to get it working on some kind of cloud platform that allows me to hook it in to authenticated web forms so other people in the org can easily update records and add things. My experience is mostly on the dba side and not development so anything that is relatively simple for me (an idiot) to get up and running quickly would be a plus. Any suggestions?
