3-ish weeks is what it takes to learn to touch-type in general, whatever layout. Put in the time and choose a layout to learn. Dworak is better if you are typing only english, there are other layouts for other languages. This is where it br

I was so happy when I figured out how to switch to 60 Hz. Living in a PAL region I was stuck at 50 Hz. Later on PC I cranked up the Hz as high as it would go while still display something. And yes, the flicker is easy to spot if you just si

No, it's in the agreement when you sign up for Steam. You don't own, you license.

If you try to point out all this to someone, the usual response is that they don't care, it doesn't happen to them. I have been trying this since Steams first versions and more or less gave up by now. People value convenience abov

Dark patterns most likely. They hide the downloads as much as possible. But to play some games multiplayer you need the gog launcher.

She had it downloaded to her kindle but the kindle was broken. She could not access her account on any device or web so had no access to her library.

This is true not just for Kindle books. It's also your games library on Steam and all other similar stores. GOG.com is probably the only online game store where you realy own the stuff you "buy".

I borrow everything at the local library. If they don't have it, I ask if they can get it. Mostly I just give them the ISBN number and a few days later I get a mail that they reserved it for me, come and pick it up. Almost faster than

There is still a tax on computers (or rather storage) in Sweden. We pay an extra fee for private copying set on the number of megabytes you can store on harddrives, CD's, DVD's or flash drives. But at least that means it's le

Our digital knob micro was like that. This gets a problem when the digital knob suddenly malfunctions and starts the microwave in the night, set on 5 minutes and nothing inside it. Could start a nice fire if unlucky. It only happened during

All my micro waves have been nob controlled except one but that one broke down after a few weeks so that one does't count. The rest was two analog and three digital nobs. All the digital nobs broke down after 1-2 years but the analog n

A microwave only work with an on/off cycle. It runs on MAX for x seconds and off for y seconds. If you want 50% effect, it runs 5 seconds, then wait 5 seconds. Cooking it on low is just letting the food distribute the heat naturally fo

Wait, a mouse driven application is using the right hand keys for shortcuts? Yes, that sounds very handy for a left hand mouse user. I prefer to be able to set my keys myself. I use the left hand WASD keys together with ctrl+shift for most

I believe that's the joke. I wish latency was getting better but every new thing that comes along moves the acceptance further away. Many don't even notice 500 ms delay from click to something actually happening. On my Atari I oft

In Sweden everyone pays a tax on all media like empty DVD's, harddrives, phones and so on. This tax covers the private copying of media like movies and music. It is not illegal in Sweden to borrow a DVD from your friend and copy it. We

Yes, just to explain why: microSD cards (and all flash storage) has a limited number of writes. If you let your rpi write logs, you will soon run out of writable space and if you are lucky you end up with a card that is read only. If unluck
