I just checked the Reddit thread and the OP took it down in protest of Reddit’s API changes.

That’s a nice find, thank you :)

Well, they should. Whether you do it or not is another question ;)

Yes, but temp folders get cleaned. You have to manually remove pdfs from your downloads folder

Brilliant, thank you :)

What’s the name of it please?

You didn’t even need to do that. You could hold down the shift key to bypass some passwords, and just click cancel on others.

Early Windows had awful security.

Ah, I get it, thanks :)

I tried doing it that way at first, but because my wife’s laptop is only used occasionally, I was getting the errors from that. At the moment the mesh is working for me.

Next week might be different though 🙈

If you don’t mind me asking, what do you mean when you say you have your Plex server as a register of changes?

I’ve got my PC as a read only source for my music, with everything else copying from that and syncing with each other. That lets me put new music onto my PC, organise it, and send the changes to my network. Is there a better way to do it, or something I’ve missed?

Don’t trust hacked software to protect you from hacked software.

Some services will take gift cards. You find out the amount you need to pay, and convert it to your currency, buy a gift card in cash for the amount, then send the code from the gift card to the service.

You have to trust that they won’t just run off with the funds, but the whole point is to pick a service that you trust in the first place.

On the bright side, you’ve just reminded me that I haven’t watched the Christmas special yet :)

I’ve noticed that a lot of the reasons to upgrade now are artificial. My wife dug out an old PC to use two monitors recently, but still does the same tasks that she was doing a decade ago. The computer is ridiculously slow though because of ‘updates’.

Bog standard things like checking her emails and opening Word slow the computer for nothing. Even bare Windows runs slowly because of the graphics enhancements.

Buying a handful of spare chargers is much cheaper than buying a new phone.

If you’re running the Folding@Home project through it, it might be worth looking at the Banano project. It runs the F@H program in the same way, but using credentials that they give you, and you get Banano as a reward.

On the one hand it’s a cryptocurrency, so take it with a pinch of salt, but on the other hand you get it for doing what you’re already doing.

A dozen or so? Bloody hell, you must have a long

forearm…

I thought the fuss was because of the apparent tracking, not the fact that it’s a paid app?

The other one was very very underpowered so I threw CasaOS onto it

How did you get past the website? It’s bloody awful :o

Joking aside though, I hadn’t heard of CasaOS, so I just did a quick search. That website is awful on mobile. I swiped up, assuming that there was more than just the live demo link, but nothing happened for a while. Then, loads of content popped up at once and scrolled past >.<

I’ve sent it to myself to check out on the computer. Hopefully, if it does what it claims, it could resurrect an old laptop :)

Superman, is that you?

While the person you’re replying to seems to be trolling, there is a legitimate argument that the BBC is influenced by the current government. The argument is that the current government has had a hand in appointing the current BBC director, and he’s a member of the Conservative party or a donor.

I haven’t looked into it for a while, so am not up to speed on the details, but if the detractors are correct, it’s not a good look for the BBC.
