  • I actually really enjoyed the studio task. Teams needed to get their number of legs from 21 to 22. So when one team immediately received one extra leg, they were done. It was refreshing to have a team pick up on the rules so quickly.

    Looking for a Python Interpreter

    I'm looking for an Android python compiler interpreter that runs locally on my phone. Any suggestions are appreciated. FOSS apps preferred of course.

    Edit: changed compiler to interpreter

    Edit 2: I ended up going with Pydroid3. I wish there was a FOSS alternative.

    Anyone else not able to create Amazon Prime watch parties?

    Sorry, I don't know of a community to post this in. However, anyone else having trouble creating watch parties?

    I am no longer able to host watch parties on things that are free on prime. I can however, start a watch party for seasons/movies I "own" through amazon.

    Edit: Put own in quotes.

    Downloading Brightcove Videos

    Today I found a video series that I was datahoarding... I know...

    Anyway, I found this old reddit post from 3 years ago on how to download from Brightcove. So I thought I would repost this here for posterity.

    Here's the post below with some small revisions from 3 years ago by u/publiusvaleri_us

    >I had a short video that I wanted to try to download, but the brightcove style seems to be hard to parse. I was wondering if there's a way to find out the actual URL to do the download, and I started on a hunch.

    >Of course I visited the webpage with the video and let it play. In Firefox, I use Web Developer Tools, then I selected the Network tab. It listed a lot of the streams of the video (mp2t) that appeared to be a form of streaming. The secret is to look for a file type of "x-mpegurl" which is the key to feeding youtube-dl the correct video URL.

    I found this step was made easier by uBlock Origin (I only had to look for the red blocked packets)

    >Here is my command: (You must use ffmpeg, because of the multiple streams)

    >youtube-dl --prefer-ffmpeg --ffmpeg-location ..\ffmpeg\bin --restrict-filenames [URL FROM Web Developer Tools->Network.]

    >The only problem I found out is that some of the x-mpegurl files produce an end result without sound. They were combined in ffmpeg as render-render.mp4. But I found another one that downloaded to a slightly larger file, and it was called "master-master.mp4" when it was done. That video has sound. So if you examine your URL possibilities, look for the word "master" somewhere in it.

    >...BLAH-BLAH/master.m3u8?fastly_token=BLAH,BLAH

    >Let me know if anyone has questions or needs a few pointers. I'm surprised I figured it out without a lot of problems. When youtube-dl gave me the error for the main URL, I figured one of you guys knew all about how to do this... turns out that I do.... shocked emoji.

    Card Game Discussion: 31

    The Card Game 31

    Here is a game that my family and I play:

    • Play with a single deck of cards (No Jokers)
    • Deal 3 cards to each player with 1 card face-up on the discard pile, place the draw pile face-down
    • Players take turns either picking up the top card on the discard pile or the top card of the draw pile. They then exchange it for one card in their hand and place the rejected card on the draw pile.

    There are three ways to win:

    • Have 3 of a kind (3 Kings for example). The player lays their cards down on the table and everyone else instantly loses.
    • Have the Ace and two face cards (10 counts as a face card) of the same suit. The player lays their cards down on the table and everyone else instantly loses.
    • If a player thinks that they have the highest value in their hand (of the same suit) they can knock on the table. Every other player gets one more turn. Then everyone reveals their cards. The person with the lowest total loses. (Face cards and 10's count as ten points, Aces count as eleven points.)

    Scoring:

    • We have played with each person starting out with 4 coins that are used as "lives". Players give up one life when they lose.
    • My SO and I have been playing this game with points, 31 points for an instant win and the difference of our hands on a knocking win. Double the difference if you knock and lose.

    Looking to upgrade my CPU

    I currently have a Intel Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor in my main build (built in 2016) and I'm ready for an upgrade.

    Can someone recommend me a new cpu? I'd like something a little beefier and hopefully not have to get a new motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-B150M-DS3H LGA-1151 socket)
