But the U.S. government’s moves to crack down on cheap e-commerce parcels from China have pushed sellers to rethink their business strategies.

So, there’s the problem then. If they made it all more expensive for the American consumer, then that solves the problem. /s

On a serious note: it’s obviously cheaper because there’s no physical shop with no staff. Isn’t this how Bezos started out, from a garage?

It’s so sad when we all find these critical components are maintained by someone we’d just pass in the street… and then they’re gone.

Lovely to see the contributions on ko-fi

But, surely Windows is the wrong OS?

Windows is a per-user GUI… supercomputing is all about crunching numbers, isn’t it?

I can understand M$ trying to get into this market and I know Windows server can be used to run stuff, but again, you don’t need a GUI on each node a supercomputer they’d be better off with DOS…?

Wha?

(searches interwebs)

Wow, that completely passed me by…

Wow. I’m going to have to try some of those out! Thanks

I think you’ve missed the point.

Yes, they’re looking to continue selling older titles and your point is that pirating / torrenting is free, but GoG are ensuring the game will actually run on a modern machine - the pirated ones will have problems (not even covering the potential malware ridden ones)

I’ve been there, done it, got the t-shirt, the t-shirt faded, got ripped and is now a rag somewhere… this is a good move by GoG.

Gotta say, formatting of text isn’t a high priority for me… I’m pinging someone about a thing, I’m not writing a presentation. Adding emojis is about as much as I need 🤔

And - to me - adding people to an adhoc group call / chat is straight forwards - and finding those conversations later is too

But, I believe that there’s a few Corp IT settings that can be adjusted (we’ve recently lost the ability to add gifs for example), so maybe that’s what’s going wrong.

But we’re a long way from AOL IM 😉

I never even had an account…

About time they went metric

I’m curious if anyone’s paying to support development (of either application)?

I’m just about getting all my photos into my NAS, so will be looking at these myself soon

the company said it would start turning off Manifest V2 extensions

…in time for Black Friday & the holiday sales?

I seem to recall back in (the rose tinted synthpop) 90’s that Notepad was an example of Visual Basic… or at least we created it on a training course…

So, I’m surprised that anyone’s done anything with it.

It’s probably gone from a 12kB .exe to a 2GB file with another 10GB of .dlls

Ooh, didn’t know about this and I listen to music ~16 hours per day!

Just need to capture it: No obvious collector for MythTV, so might have a problem there…

Interesting, I have those on my car and I actively avoid using them.

It can’t cope with anything more than a simple scenario (dim around car in front, deal with on coming car in other lane). If you also have pedestrians and vehicles on side junctions, then you burn their eyes.

So, I’d assumed it was a US feature (straight, wide roads) brought over here

Ah, ok, got a little confused… GeoClue TZ is an improvement on GeoClue

I didn’t even know this was a thing, I just dealt with this manually - now feeling a little silly.

I can confirm that moving the disks to a very similar device will work.

We recovered “enough” data from what disks remained of a Dell server that was dropped (PSU side down) from a crane. The server was destroyed, most of the disks had moved further inside the disk caddy which protected them a little more.

It was fun to struggle with that one for ~1 week

And the noise from the drives…

I have rooftop solar, but only for the house because I can’t reach my car to charge it in the street.

The car sits outside for days (I work from home), so in my case this would be great.

This is the 1st I’ve seen of this car, so haven’t read any other details, but I’d be surprised if external charging wasn’t possible.

Am I the only one questioning the spelling of “tyre“?

And apparently monkey is only the 6th password attempt to try:
