Manually save often. She learned the hard lesson all of us learn. I never rely on autosave anywhere. It does not always do it’s job.

Thanks. My win11 install is coming up. Looks like I may need this. Bookmarked

Yeah what did he expect. It’s not a people’s platform anymore. It’s the owner’s. Better he be off and do his own thing elsewhere. Find better fields!

This made me laugh but I can see why if you have interest you’d be somewhat annoyed by arranged and selected items. It’s not a natural sample. Sand’s not the only thing I’ve seen this done with. There are worse things in the world to be fussed up about tho’. And I do like the heart shaped piece 💜

Geeeez 🤪

I use Vivaldi. I’ve been getting the ads mostly. I have to open YouTube in a private window and view from there. Do you have Unblock with scripts? My scripts only worked for awhile. The built in adblocking is just not working for me.

I do! I have some regular playlists I use when I can’t sleep. I don’t want the Wi-Fi signal at my ear or near my body all night. Doing it old style sets me at ease.

Ew that’s kind of messed up, isn’t it?

This was hilarious. “I am not mature…” 😆

Hi, I’m glad I came across this post! I have a super super old HP printer. They were the best. I have to say mine is at least 20 years old, pre-wireless. It’s recently had problems and I’m not sure I can fix it. I need a new printer.

I have heard of Brother printers but not always been one of the top printers - everyone likes Canon, HP, Epson.

I think I’ll look more into them because of the non-proprietary ink. The ink of these printers is sometimes more than getting a new printer itself. It does not make sense.

I’m mostly an HP person since the start, so I’ll still be looking into these too. Hope you have better luck with yours.

$12 million - a bargain for digitizing the collection for eternity.

We always knew that. What they don’t tell you is your phone is also secretly listening. “Ok Google” <- turn that thing off too

I’ve been with Namecheap so so many years. Highly recommended.

I also had a career in tech. I’m a woman. I’ve been stepped on, harassed, disrespected. I’m just a country girl who tried to fit in the big city. And I did for awhile. But then all the layoffs, and the last company I was at just keeled over from insufficient funding, while the ceos had a ton of money and we had all these luncheons and outside training weekends. So wasteful. Disillusioned, I didn’t want to go back.

I also wanted a farm. If you’re young and strong still, do it. I’m 60 now. We were unable to obtain that farm. I guess it was meant to be. I still hope for a super mini something - some chickens and a coupla goats or a mini cow or something. You get tired after 60 and try to downsize and reduce what you do to just what’s important.

Regarding no electricity etc - be realistic and balanced. Don’t make it hard on yourself. Go get your farm in the country, but do yourself and family a favor and have a proper bathroom, running water and electricity with internet. Nobody really likes pooping in those compost toilets or having to hand pump a well for water or garden 😀 and while you may think it’s okay if you’re strong and young believe me in 20 years which goes by fast you’ll be wanting decent plumbing and electric and will likely be grateful for some internet.

I’m on today but was unable to get on many times. It says to change instances, but with no clue how to easily do that. I could not figure it out - so I just left it do its downtime thing until I could return.

Also, a lot of the posts are weird. Political. I don’t want to see that stuff and have blocked what I can but I’m still seeing the stuff!

When I go to specific forum topics I do want to read, there just aren’t many posts.

When I end up on the front page, some days it’s the same stuff I read hours before.

Some things need to change to make it more attractive to hang out here. Even us nerdy types are finding other places.

Not complaints. Just my observations that perhaps someone can look at as a point to make some changes

I’m pretty sure multivitamins help me in one way - to help prevent me from catching colds and flus easily. I noticed this years ago when my kids were young. I would take one of the chewable kids vitamins daily through autumn and winter. Several winters I did not get sick. I’ve not done it since - every day, one kids vitamin. I switched to adult multis but I think they’re an expensive overload and didn’t seem to help. But chewable kids were too sugary for my teeth. Now they have the xylitol ones. I may try again this season.

This is becoming like the paid to win games. Whales take all.

I shut off asuch of Cortana on my desktop as I could. Not a wanted feature.

I’ve looked at Obsidian but have you looked at Zettlr? I think I prefer it over Obsidian.

Nice to see that you’re getting your own thing going.

Modding (as long as it’s not hacker modding in like RDR2) makes the game personalized and so much more fun.

I wanted to play Diablo but Blizzard support hasn’t taken off the keyfob authenticator off my account, despite repeated requests. So I guess I don’t get to play anyway. Now I really feel like I’m not missing out on anything.
