Asus F555D - 12G RAM, AMD R8 M350DX GPU and a sticker that says Radeon Dual Graphics. That’s probably what was tripping up the system booting to a black screen.

Baah. KBIN just ate my reply.

Point form since I forgot to save to clipboard first.

Tried mint - booted to black screen
Tried ubuntu - got silly crashes like in the post trying to install stuff. It also wanted me to sign up for some sort of support package with 5 free devices to get updates or something. Also, trackpad scrolling was uncontrollable. Would scroll up half a screen or more as I lifted my fingers off.
Tried fedora - only 100% and 200% zoom option, and no right click.

Managed to fix the fedora issues with some command line found on Google and a gnome customising addon.

n00b here, just playing. Can’t migrate fully as I need VBA and Playit Live etc.

and bacon.

Yep. It’s nice to know you’re in control of it. Not like bloody AnyDesk which decided one day out of the blue to remove the TCP Tunneling feature I was using.

Try converting to MP3 first if using Audacity: https://www.neowin.net/software/file-converter-universal-right-click-media-converter/

MP3DirectCut - https://mpesch3.de/ - might also suit. I use it a lot for community radio stuff as it doesn’t have to pre-load the entire file, making extracting interviews from the MP3 log files a very quick process. Cue the file, B for begin, N for end, File, Save selection, done.

Star Wars - the one where R2D2 gets zapped by Sand People and falls over with a comical thud.

Haven’t seen it for yonks, but enjoy it when I do.

I have a similar caddy. Many years old now. The connection to the host computer is a USB-A female, so connecting it requires a male to male cable.

Because Chrome stuffed up my task bar icons one time too many. (eg two Gmail icons, once for each account - randomly start working as bookmarks instead of their own window.) Fixing that takes many attempts

Firefox can’t do this at all, but an extension fixed that.

☑️ “Compress the contents of this folder to save disk space.”

(used sparingly, mostly on older HTML folders.)

(just did my ~weekly log back into kbin dance.)

Our Aldi now has electronic price tags for each product in the centre aisles. I wonder if they’re Bluetooth.

I see a tyre and I want it painted black…

Can you drink glycerine?

For me, for now, it’s the ability to tap ‘back’ and be at the same point in the page that I was at when I clicked a link.

Instead, on kbin, it’ll often dump me at the end of the page - because I’ve got a auto load media turned on and the browser doesn’t cache the media it seems.

Used to work around this by using the Chrome PWA, and long pressing each link, but kbin no longer lets me log in on Chrome with an invalid csrf error.

With the API just about some, and at least one app similarly almost ready, I am not worried. The ability to post an image in a reply, and it actually works, is a massive improvement over Reddit for me.

Not tell anyone if possible. Big winnings are the way to ruin in most cases.

That’s rare.

Perhaps use ddrescue on a mint or Ubuntu live cd / usb. It’ll duplicate the drive bit for bit.

Or if you don’t want to learn this stuff, buy a Samsung SSD and use Samsung’s free but temperamental cloning app

I can get about six hours of free heating during the day from the sun over winter in Australia, using solar and a split system. Only if the sun is unobscured though.

Summer is better of course, due to the longer daylight.

There was probably a small hole in the back of your Walkman. Behind it was a slot you could turn with a screwdriver to adjust the speed.

This would work for a few years until the motor commutator would go a bit dodgy.

How about not just dumping the user to a weird terminal prompt at startup because it thinks the file system needs a check?

They shouldn’t have to google what to do next.
