<span style="color:#323232;">Find: ([A-Z])([A-Z])
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Replace: 1 2
</span>

Click the “Replace All” twice and it should do what you need.

Unfortunately it seems like MS Word uses a non standard configuration for advanced searches so functions like “positive lookahead” are not available. That’s why you need to replace twice.

What TTS software are you using? Is there a way to add pronunciation guides that will apply across all software, not just word?

Edit: Untested:


<span style="color:#323232;">Replace (without quotes): "1 2 "
</span>

This might mean you only need to replace once, but it will add an extra space after acronyms (“PACU” > "P A C U ") and will inject space in mixed case scenarios (“PACUpacu” > “P A C U pacu”).

BearOfaTime ,

Won’t this just reverse the order of the two groups? (My regex is minimal)

unmagical ,

The parenthetical groups in the search query define what is to be captured. They are numbered from left to right. In this case that is a capital letter assigned to group 1 and then an immediately following capital letter assigned to group 2. If we used a replace of only “\1\2” then we would get no change from the original input. If we want to switch them then we just need to swap the order in the replace “\2\1”.

bsergay , to linux in Niche Distro Users: Why?

I daily drive secureblue; or, to be more precise, its bluefin-main-userns-hardened image.

“Why?”, you ask. Because security is my number one priority.

I dismiss other often mentioned hardened systems for the following reasons:

  • Qubes OS; my laptop doesn’t satisfy its hardware requirements. Otherwise, this would have been my daily driver.
  • Kicksecure; primary reason would be how it’s dependent on backports for security updates.
  • Tails; while excellent for protection against forensics, its security model is far from impressive otherwise. It’s not really meant as a daily driver for general use anyways.
  • Spectrum OS; heavily inspired by Qubes OS and NixOS, which is a big W. Unfortunately, it’s not ready yet.
Sunny ,

Very interesting had not heard of this one yet. What are the main advantages of using this, that make it more secure?

Why don’t 3rd launchers not support native gestures yet? Why does Google refuse to fix that?

LMFAO you nerd

BearOfaTime , to techsupport in Trying (failing) to use MS Word wildcards to detect any two capitalized letters, and insert a space between them...

Maybe replace the acronym with the closest word phonetically?

Since PACU sounds like “pack you”, just do a search and replace - at least in the doc that’s going to be read out by TTS.

This may not solve all acronyms, but it’ll get some, and quickly, leaving more time for working on the more difficult things.

Is there any way to modify your TTS utility? (Does it accept a user dictionary?)

that’s just the indo’

in most cases you really shouldn’t

Chronographs , to pcgaming in Why does Frame Generation say I am getting 60fps but it doesn't look or feel like it?

Frame generation can only guess the next frame based on previous ones and motion vectors so when you do something it can’t predict (press a button) it still has to draw that normally. As I understand it because of this the input latency is going to be the same as if frame generation is off it will just look smoother.

it will just look smoother.

That’s the thing, though; it doesn’t look smoother either. There’s this hard to explain jitter in the motion that I’m only used to seeing in games running 30fps or lower.

Chronographs , (edited )

This is a pretty early look at the tech but what they saw was that input latency actually increases with frame gen turned on so maybe that’s wheat you’re seeing? They also noted that at a 60fps target the generated frames were much more noticeable, so maybe that’s what you’re seeing?

tomkatt , to nostupidquestions in Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?

DNS is often misconfigured.

On the linux side of things, people like to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf when it’s actually a symlink and changes to it don’t persist on boot (the real file location varies, but it’s usually in something like /etc/system/resolve). And forget bind9, if it’s not MS DNS it’s not DNS to some folks.

On the Windows side, people love to ignore that reverse DNS exists, even though so many things use it. They also freaking love CNAME aliases and break stuff in interesting ways (for example, a “load balanced” configuration that’s all just the first node acting as all three nodes of a cluster or pool).

Many people only know enough DNS to be dangerous and come up with really jank workarounds to get things running because they don’t understand the proper solutions.
