  • I think windows takes up a bit too much storage.

    Jump

  • From experience I'm going to say it's something producing files in the system temp folder, and not cleaning them up. I've seen this often with 3rd party software, Adobe and sage are often culprits. Win7 did have an issue at one point that would also do it .

  • you just got downsized, sucka!

    Jump

  • That requires more circuitry. Just have the computer check every 0.25s, and if you have depressed the button it is a 1, else a 0.

  • She'll get use to quickly. Our neighbour's cats were like that at first, now they sit next to the charging pad like they own the place. They still get worried when it happens to be moving their way tho.

  • What Gmail did to email

    Jump

  • One of the nice things about Gmail at the time, was that you could access your emails when not home. If you were at a friend's or on holiday at a net café, all you needed was to know your email and password.

    That sounds silly, but at the time the majority of ISP mailboxes were pop only. Or those Webmails you could get were attached to what you would now think of comically small mailboxes. Full history Webmail added a convenience we didn't get before.

  • Which is fine when people do not reject the answers that are different from what they were expecting. Learning that the problem you have is a reason that noone does this, is a valid thing to learn.

    It's usually when I see people moving the goal posts on replies, or complaining that they didn't answer the exact question that i see as frustrating. Or "I don't want to do that" with no more info.

    But if you are aware of other solutions, you should state that in the question and give your reasons. It's a waste of time if you know someone might suggest what you have dismissed already.

    The html question is a classic for this, they want to find non self closed tags. Why? Why can't they use a parser? What are they doing with this info? All questions that would give you a good idea on how the problem can be solved. Playing with regex would be a valid answer to that, but is not stated. Unfortunately I find so's format discourages extra interrogation.

    The answer is not an attack on the person, but a frustration at the people before that ignored previous answers to use a parser.

  • Except in 99% of cases the person is asking an xy problem, and if they ever explained the why, they would get a proper answer.

    Often the reason no one does the hyper-specific thing, is that there are better non code solutions, it's massively insecure, or is just stupid micromanaging.

  • Seen this on the powershell subreddit before, it just downloads and runs another executable.

  • Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

    Jump

  • Is mono not the .net framework version? .net core has always been multi platform, but is not compatible with .net framework apps. So any .net apps built against 3.5 or 4.x would still need to use mono.

  • Funny thing is I remember control panel being criticized for having things too many dialogs deep. Now you have more clicks when using settings instead of less.

  • It’s official: NASA calls on Crew Dragon to rescue the Starliner astronauts

    Jump

  • Can't they just send up extra suits with the dragon capsule? Badly fitted suits are probably better than none, it's not like they are piloting it down.

  • Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon

    Jump

  • Yep, depending on the version it was under either administrative tools or system tools option in control panel. It's now also in the menu when you right click the start button.

  • Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon

    Jump

  • You can now reach the network connections folder, using an option on the network status page. It's something like advanced network options. Still all the classic stuff, but avoids "control panel." I'm going to guess links like that are not going to be removed.

    If they just outright remove all of that, you really will need to learn how to do everything in powershell.

  • Email server thru cloudflare

    Jump

  • If you don't mind having email go through Gmail etc, then you might not want to full host, but just run a local IMAP server. There are some pop to SMTP solutions you can use to pull your emails (fetchmail.) you can then use your account as an outbound relay. Keep in mind you'll only be able to set this up for a single account if you use something like Gmail.

    If you buy a business product like workspace or m365, you should be able to setup relay/hybrid connectors for multiple accounts.

  • We're probably not the only ones running outdated software

    Jump

  • Accountants have it hard even if they do keep up-to-date. We migrated one to a new server, but some of their clients still use archaic versions of accounting software. Unfortunately beyond a particular age it won't activate the new install, so they are stuck telling the client to upgrade or continue to run the old server as well.

  • Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app

    Jump

  • Bd players need internet as they only have keys for the discs made before they were made. So if you stick a newer disc in it won't play until it gets updated.

  • Use a password manager

    Jump

  • I tell non techy people to use a physical book that they can secure. People know how to do hide things or put them in a safe. Digital security is harder to understand and I would say a book in a safe place is way better than reusing passwords they find hard to remember.

  • What is a product you would never recommend?

    Jump

  • For me it was the Microsoft intellimouse, the led one. It had 5 buttons, one on each side so it was also ambidextrous. Now I have a mouse graveyard box.

  • It is done when it is done!

  • Windows update is definitely milestones. 30% is the "reboot milestone" so if it shows less, it needs to reboot to finish applying.

  • They did not reply.

  • HumanFemales and HumanM both inherit from the Ape base class, it's from an older java code base. We tried to change it once but it turned out the person that had written had retired and any changes we made just broke stuff.
