Have you tried turning your Arc of Infinity off and on again?

[-] zeet@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The Sonix Temudriver says:

Error: Division by zero calculated successfully. Unable to break infinity.

If I hit CTRL-ALT-ȩ̴̛̛͚̖̤͉͔̜̟͎͚̠̠̣͎̐̅̿͛̀́͜͝ͅs̸͎̼̹̱̗̬̻͕̺̺̰͚̬̜̰͈͈͊̋͊̀̉̎͒͗͐́̔̕̚͝͝c̴̪͍̃̂͛̓̔̕͝ I can switch to a parallel dimension. Maybe I'll try rebooting there and then popping back here to change the localisation. Thanks!

Be aware that rebooting doesn't shut down the Eye of Harmony (at least for models Type 61 and older - newer models can have an optional dimensional transfer to mitigate the problem). Rebooting all systems while the star powering your TARDIS is still dimensionally attached can lead to a high build-up of Archon Energy that needs to be disposed quickly. not doing so will result in your TARDIS trying to use it internally by changing the layout of your rooms and possibly even the desktop theme of your main control room.

An easier way to archive what you are trying to do, is to access the remote management interface. That require you to own a new-ish sonic screwdriver (at least last years model) as only the new ones come with the necessary holographic UI library to do anything more than remote summoning or launching preprogrammed macros.

Pour some tea into the phone receiver. This will reverse the polarity of the neutron flow and remind the TARDIS of its priorities.

Will Lipton work, or would you suggest it be earl grey?

[-] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I like an Earl Grey myself, but the moment has been prepared for.

while it’s in en_US, you have to specify the new dimensions in hamburgers

[-] zeet@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

hamburgers? Next you'll be telling me to set the base time references in mm-dd-yyyy, lol.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

visceral reaction

[-] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm trying to convert Americans to dd-mmm-yyyy one dev team at a time. It's my magnum opus.

[-] halm@leminal.space 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

dd-mmm-yyyy

Adding an extra digit to the months in case we have a huge leap year some day 👍🤣 Better safe than sorry!

Edit: spelling

[-] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It renders as 05-Apr-2024. Rendering the month as an abbreviation gets rid of confusion.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Uuuh doesn't work in some languages. You're trading one bad concept with another.

[-] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. That is why localization is a thing. I was talking about in English.

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Um, no. We measure in football fields. Sheesh.

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 10 points 2 years ago

SSH into it and re-generate the locale

[-] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That seems pretty straight forward. How do I find the IP address of my TARDIS though? I've never had to look it up.

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

You should've read the wiki smh

[-] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I did, but it just assumes you already know. It's all very hostile for first time time travelers tbh.

[-] sramder@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

You just need a good running start.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Go down to the pub and drink 5 beers.

[-] ninja@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

And don't forget the peanuts.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Alt-shift or winkey-space

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Have you tried hitting it with a hammer?

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

On a side note I always wondered how you got inside a Type 103 TARDIS when it was in humanoid form.

[-] Graphy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
