I tossed it onto a old PC that was struggling with windows a few months ago. It was just a Plex machine and suddenly everything is running faster, easier to use, my wife even commented that she could browse Plex faster than before and videos loaded quickly…
Good gateway drug for Linux really.
yeah the article in this thread mentions a young man who got into it and “differed” from the original guy who them got upset at them
Yeah the rice is only going to get tiny particles of rice inside the device and otherwise not assist in drying out even slightly making the issue worse
Please be careful when making jokes, it may see harmless rubbish, but at least one person committed suicide due to their obsession with this stuff.
I use exclamations in Windows (“!!first” will be sorted above “!second” for example)
and “I’m curious what’s the need for the folder to be sorted first that something like folder pinning or tagging”
Not sure what “tagging” would be in a windows perspective, does it have that? and “pinning” could be using the Quick Access bar I guess which I do for folders I want access to GLOBALLY, but if I have many sub-folders, and in the context of THAT FOLDER I am interested in several more than the rest, but outside that folder I don’t care less about them, I’ll use exclamations so I can find them easier
(Example, I have a TTRPG folder of art assets for maps from dozens of different sources, each with own naming conventions, and two folders !!Sorted and !Working, as I slowly go though the list to find, name, sort, discard and otherwise clean up the list so I can find what I want. If it was called “Sorted” it would be in the middle of the folder structure and a pain to find when I need it, but I also NEVER NEED that sub-folder unless I am working on cleaning up/sorting that data)
Fidonet all the way initially (At the time it was faster to write your terminal program than to load it off tape every time you started the computer. Was only like 5 lines.)
But the with the “Internet” I was the first (I think, never saw any others) to write and release a Windows 3.1 program for Finger
In the linked article they are arriving randomly. It takes 10 minutes per customer and they arrive every 10.3 minutes.
I use a technique where I play a scene out in my head. Always the same scene, always the same outcomes and the same process.
For example “Walking down a beach, see a small shell, pick it up, turn it over and notice the interesting pattern, put in pocket, go to the sea shell stored a few feet down the beach waving at a people, sell the shell, take the money and buy a small rock statue, take the statue home and place it on the window sill… etc”
The trick is make it memorable and not specifically related to your own life so you can’t get side tracked subconsciously (“Oh no! I forgot to buy sea shells!!”). I find a narrative works well, and the whole thing tells a story.
The way to get started is when you are EXHAUSTED and ready to fall asleep anyway, and to repeat the same scene/steps every night from that point on. Eventually the series of images and events will tie to “sleep” in your mind and I rarely get past the first few parts of the sequence.
Essentially counting sheep! same idea really. After a while you may get bored of one story and make up another. I’ve gone though a half dozen over the years I guess.
Firefox, Android. Using jerboa on Android it doesn’t happen
I see the same thing. My language is definitely set to English
What WERE their findings though? I read that link and 80% of it was talking about the “history of Venezuela’s elections”
Only relevant bit was 5 people went to a few poling stations each and they didn’t see anything odd and people seemed to be happy to vote. I didn’t see them claim to have done anything that could be considered proving the elections were fair one way or another, other than no obvious fraud at the polling stations themselves.
