Yeah it makes more sense if you consider the word Windows' to be in possessive form.

Shipping labels, tickets etc. Printers suck, but I can rely on paper being suitable for its purpose. Can't say that about most alternatives (mostly phone apps).

That joke is actually pretty old. In fact the link you posted says that it's not his joke. I don't really know where it came from, but it's certainly not from that guy.

This is nice. I run dark mode everywhere and I used to use notepad for quick notes and stuff. Problem is that notepad is a giant wide window so it would burn my eyes out when opened, so I had to switch to something else. Now I can use it fo

The first definition is "very stupid or foolish" which seems quite apt given the context. The second one talks about a disability, which does not really seem applicable since we're talking about monitors and not people. So wh

Looks to me like they just straight up ripped the Discord front-end, changed the parts where it connects to a back-end and hosted it. Registration page has links to Discord's ToS, opening dev tools will give you a message about working

yup, `sudo tinc -n %VPNNAME% invite %CLIENTNAME%` will generate an invite URL on the server side and `tinc join %INVITEURL%` will let you join it. It's definitely really easy now, but unfortunately it's being marked as a pre-relea

Tinc 1.1 is actually fairly easy to set up - it's only a couple of commands for defining the name of the network, getting a link nodes can use to join etc. The only problem is that it's technically not a full release, so most dist

The difference is that a TV is intended to be used to watch movies, TV shows etc. (which is why they do these effects in firmware) although a lot of TVs have a "Game mode" or something similar which disables these effects. Compute

I feel like the better solution to #4 is setting up UID namespacing for docker instead of (just) creating random users within the container. Even if you create a user, it's still going to run as whatever UID it has within the container

Can't wait for marketing people to catch up to this and call devices "SIoT" without changing anything about the product.

On Windows I have the "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" option disabled and yet in about:config Normandy was still enabled. I haven't received the fix. Could be that Firefox simply hasn't checked for it, or it c

It uses VBA, so it's not going to be compatible with non-MS office products (and the author doesn't really advertise compability anywhere anyway).

Pocket knives are very useful for (adult) backpackers, mountaineers and other people who do a lot of outdoors stuff. Hell even in every day life pocket knives can come in handy. You never know when you will need to cut a zip tie or somethi

It's not the 90's anymore, getting a virus is pretty hard. Hell, it wasn't really all that easy in the first place, unless you pirated or installed shady software from shady ads on shady websites.

Nope, Witcher 1 saves are just really large (for some reason in addition to all the flags they also contain some locale data and such). 10GiB is actually pretty reasonable for a Witcher playthrough.

I don't think that posting tiny communities into a large one is a good idea. In my experience exposure to mainstream usually ends up with the community flooded with people who eventually somehow make the original members leave for one

It depends on how often he uses his phone and where he backpacks. Being in a low-signal environment will eat up a lot of battery even on a feature phone plus having screens 5x bigger than feature phones also lead to more battery usage when

At the bottom of that link[1] you can find instructions on how to send notifications directly from your server, but it involves recompiling the apps (which is hardly Zulip's fault). [1] https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en&#

Sure, but then you get 100 other problems that come with self-hosted e-mail servers that might not be worth the hassle.
