Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Had a strange one at work today - one of the radiologists wanted to try a stream deck they’d purchased to speed up their reporting.
The piece of shit software wouldn’t even talk to the device without admin rights. I thought it ought to at least connect and be able to interact with other apps on the same security context, at least in a rudimentary way, but nope!
Looks like the reporting tools don’t properly accommodate any API or macro hotkeys either, so it was probably a hopeless idea all along.
Is this the stream deck? Programmable button device?
I guess your colleague doesn’t recommend it if they can’t get it to do even simple things.
Yeah, that’s it.
Really doesn’t work with classic enterprise security models, but it’s extremely orientated to the Twitch and other folks - ewww…
Yeah, I can’t see a need for it myself but I guess it’s for that streamer target audience.
