PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Windows 11 is breaking Legacy Media Player features to push you to a modern app that uses 3x more RAMEnglish
1·27 days agoYeah, I think so, I just tried the Media Player approach first and it worked well and is super easy to do, so I stuck with it. I like that it simply opens up a small window of a random screenshot I took and I can overlay windows over it but it keeps the screen unlocked anyway. I’m not sure if the same can be done with the PowerPoint technique? The eternally looping Media Player screenshot is nice since I’ll work in bursts; sometimes I’ll fuck off to Lemmy for an hour, other times only 5 min, other times I’ll actually work for several hours, all while the looping screenshot does its thing. (My work’s policy has our screens turn off every five minutes or so of inactivity and it annoys the absolute shit out of me.)

0·28 days agoNoooo I use Legacy Media Player to keep the screen from turning off on my work computer.
They were playing Viva La Vida in the grocery store. I’m like… Okay, grocery store, I get you’re trying to “cater to my demographic” since we’re the “new olds” who now regularly shop for produce, but who the fuck thought Viva La Vida was a good “millennial shopper” music choice for picking out produce and scrutinizing cereal boxes? I died inside. Sacrilegious.



The raccoon protocol, of course!
