I used an older board and ran kodi, worked great. Don't remember for sure but don't think it had heat sink, just bare board dangling in back of tv.

I should be getting my WickedAluminum case for my Raspberry Pi 4 today. I'll finally be able to see if the Pi 4 (4gb) can make a viable Kodi box. I've already created a Librelec image on a 64GB SD card, and have already applied the BIOS update that helps the board run a few degrees cooler, but I was concerned about the excessive heat that cause the board to freq-throttle under constant load. The case in question is made from billet aluminum, and the whole thing acts as a heat sink. It's just slightly less expensive than all the other stuff (Pi board, power supply and SD card) combined, but it seems like it's going to be well worth the expense.

Sure, but TotalCost=LessThanAPairOfShoesForTheMissus, so just smile and offer a back-rub.

Visual Studio's "code suggestions" are atrocious. "Let me nag you to use all the latest language features and make actual stylecop rules get buried under spurious suggestions about not using explicit tuples"
Worse, they can change the semantics of the code.
And I'm a stickler about having *no* messages on a final build, so this stuff is just nuts. I don't want to turn it off - i just want it to be sane.
Look at this mess:
if (null == rule1) throw new ArgumentNullException("rule1");
if (null == rule2) throw new ArgumentNullException("rule2");
Kind = kind;
Rule1 = rule1;
Rule2 = rule2;
Symbol = symbol;
Kind = kind;
Rule1 = rule1 ?? throw new ArgumentNullException("rule1");
Rule2 = rule2 ?? throw new ArgumentNullException("rule2");
Symbol = symbol;

You can change it in Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> C# >> Code Style under the null checking section.
I'm guessing they did this so that people would actually use the new language features they're adding to C#...

thanks.
if the language features are good why should they need to be nagware?

Is that a constructor, or a method?
If it's a ctor, it's sort-of OK - if the ctor throws, then you'll only ever have access to the instance from the finalizer (if any), so you don't need to worry about partially-constructed objects.
If it's a method, then it's just plain wrong, and should be reported as a bug.

in this case it's a constructor but it does it in ctors and methods both. it gives no care as to where it suggests the code change.
but yeah, i take your point that for ctors it doesn't matter (much) but in general changing the order of execution from what the developer wrote is a bad thing, if it changes the semantics.
I don't believe a lot of thought was put into all this even though i basically understand why they did it.
but to go and change the code semantics... anything else i could almost understand, but this could introduce some very nasty bugs.

Who mocks the mocker?
If I were ever to write that (I wouldn't), I'd put the tests for null in an #if DEBUG .

for public facing APIs, when a lack of a null check will result in a hard to find error later, as is often the case with constructor assignments, in my experience, I like to put null checks in.
Otherwise I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to throwing errors. I try to delegate that to the code i call where possible. Sometimes though, I need to intervene to throw an error that makes sense, and that's when I do so.

Gawd. The VS suggestion is taking a good idea (the ?? operator) and mangling it into an aesthetic and semantic mess. Not to mention also changing the behavior of the code, as you pointed out.
|
|

|

i sooo agree with this. I quite like the ?? operator when i remember to use it but in this case ugh.

The same people who think "var" for everything is a good idea.

I've put in a ticket over this, because it clearly does not follow ms' current imperatives.
Obviously, you've only provided small snippets, but I still did not see a single emoji in any of the suggested text.
That is Not Good Enough.

You can change the default "ruleset" I know I deactivated tons of warning at home... I do find so many of them moronic as well. And only a few can be interesting at best (i.e. NOT mandatory).
Not sure where exactly you change the default rule set..
But in a normal .NET Framework project, expand project References, right click on Analyzers, you can change which rule will be used.
Aside I quite like that new syntax
