Plugging in an iPhone still works as well, I plug my iPhone into my Windows PC and it pops up with the filesystem automatically in Explorer, and the photos are right there in the DCIM folder.

Unfortunately your Kindle needs to be registered to do this, and it's often a phenomenal pain in the ass to get old Kindles to register, if it's possible at all. I've got two old Paperwhites and I can't get either of the

The preferred AV1 encoder that ships with ffmpeg, SVT-AV1, is faster than any software H.265 encoder now. You can encode 1080p video in real time at preset 6 (the equivalent of 'medium' -- presets are on a scale from 0 to 13) on a

You don't need to modify the clipboard to do that, news sites were doing it long before the clipboard API existed. It's usually done with CSS, abusing display properties, positioning, font size, etc to make attributions a non-visi

My father has insisted on doing this for over 20 years, but he doesn't know how to do it himself. I expect a password-reset phone call from him every 2 or 3 days and have done since 1998. Just recently he had someone from his bank&#x27

Reddit and Medium are awful for this. I don't know what they're doing, but every page has a small chance of infinitely looping to max out a CPU core forever, unless you block their ads. I'll feel my laptop heating up and know

How do you feel about the Windows official package manager, winget? I find it a lot more polished and usable than Chocolatey was, and didn't notice much difference compared to apt or dnf, but admittedly my experience is limited and I h

Metaphorical meanings for medical issues are some of the most common metaphors in most languages, and I would be surprised if you aren't using them yourself. Rejecting it seems frankly as bizarre as rejecting metaphor entirely. Are you
