A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.

On my old android phone, I have a beautiful 24 hour clock (app and widget) which is unfortunately no longer available in the play store.

Just saying, it exists if you know how to look for it. It was Vejle, believe it or not, “24 hour clock”.

Ah, you mean like the sync that Palm OS used to have? Yup, that was neat, and I’m still waiting for Android to pick up some of the neat features from back then.

Oh that is hilarious! Just on my first listen but I don’t quite get the lyrics - am deeply disappointed that the video doesn’t have subs. 🤭

Found it on Spotify. It’s so much worse with lyrics. Thank you for sharing a version without them! 🙏

Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.

Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting nofail and a time out of, say, 5s should work… but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?

How the hell do I set up my NAS (Synology) and laptop so that I have certain shares mapped when I’m on my home network - AND NOT freeze up the entire machine when I’m not???

For years I’ve been un/commenting a couple of lines in my fstab but it’s just not okay to do it that way.

Shift/Ctrl+Ins/Del unite! 😁 And yes, muscle memory is a powerful drug. Been using it since before Windows came along, kept using it after. Especially useful after I switched to Dvorak (and yes, I know of Colemak).

Oh, nothing…

I wanted to come up with something unique and also fun(ny). I think this one’s a five way to give people a heads-up that I’ve no idea where I am or what I’m talking about.

Correct, it is not.

I’ve been extremely fond of “Our Groceries” for many years. It strikes a sweet spot between features and simplicity of use, and the devs are very responsive and have added several features after my suggestions. Really the only downside right now is that it can’t use the front facing camera on my wall mounted android tablet for scanning barcodes.

For added fun, macs use CR.

This used to be true, for sure, but I thought this changed with OS X (which is essentially PrettyBSD) ?

I just love your very apt (although likely accidental) usage of distro hoping.

So you are the one who killed YouTube.

Never let it be said that a single person can’t make a mark on this world.

😉 No really, I just wish you success with your endeavour.

Good bot.

I am so happy to see some of the useful bots make a reappearance here. And you got yourself quite the nifty name, too.

Fastmail

Ohh, this does indeed look quite fantastic. I am certainly going to look more into this. Thank you!

_Edit: Ah, but $50/user/year. For the whole family that adds up real fast. Still, nice tip.

Yes. My previous job used Linux (and OpenVPN), but I started a new job recently, which involves Windows 10 (and three separate VPN apps) on my workstation, and it’s driving me insane! I can’t even find half the settings in looking for, the start menu is a mess (until I found OpenShell which introduces an XP like start menu!), and the eternal requests to restart the damn thing. It drives me nuts.

I quite disagree, it is very hard. Sure, switching search engine takes all of two seconds, and email can be had from many vendors free and commercial.

But calendaring! A calendar that is at least somewhat integrated with am email client, supports more than one actual calendar, and has real-world capability to share them with others - “if you succeed in this, two me how.”
