It's the right-alt key. If you're using a layout that defines AltGr, the key will just work like that on a US keyboard. Even with just the US keyboard layout, the right-Alt key can still be used with numbers in Windows to type any

Radio signals do not penetrate through stone or concrete well which causes increased battery drain. You also have the issue of perhaps diminishing oxygen and cognitive impairment caused by shock and crush trauma. It would be better for batt

If you are unhappy living in the West, there is no reason whatsoever why you cannot move to a country with more compatible values. Russia is accepting new immigrants and that is certainly an option available to you.

That's the older form. In modern Greek it's Ελλάδα, anglicized as Hellada.

Or Greece and not Hellas (which in itself, is an anglicized version of the Greek name, Elláda)...

I think you can still be secure on the net with the Spectre and Meltdown mitigations disabled on a personal system. If your browser is current, it already has mitigations built into it. Are there any mathematical calculations showing the ri

I understand another symptom is pubic hair loss. What am I to think when it's not coming off my head or anywhere else? Maybe it was always weakly rooted and I just never noticed? I notice the hair coming off in the shower every time bu

It's frustrating. The thing about lab testing results in general, is that they aren't really the "optimal" value but rather a range in a population from like age 18 to age 85+. Much like how vitamin RDAs are really the b

Sorry, but the mods are dictators-for-life there and there is no appeal. If you ask Reddit for help when the mods violate the moderator code of conduct, they will just say that they are just tracking reports and to use some other community

I have this dish. It is a hot dish, what temperature setting did you have the dial at and how far away was it that you didn't burn? For those not familiar with what is being discussed here, it's a coiled wire, same principle of op

On a trip home a few years ago, I went ahead and booked a 747, partially intentionally. It was very nostalgic knowing that it was probably the last time I would ever fly in a 747 again. That was a good plane.

I recommend they make a web interface as well. I don't think this app will last long anyway, previous text recommendation apps were bought out.

The nice thing about Windows and MacOS is that users aren't expected to jump through hoops to restore functionality.

Distrowatch rankings are based on clicks. If someone wanted Hannah Montana Linux to be #1 in the ranking, it could be done.

Fedora should not be recommended anymore for personal desktop use for the simple reason that they removed hardware accelerated video decoding and encoding support. Must all run on the CPU now.

I still use 3G intentionally until it is sunset or disconnected. It uses less battery power than LTE, and comes with the nice advantage of that it doesn't support alerts. The latter is an issue because in Canada, the absolute morons wh

Google doesn't have the ability to speak with a customer at ALL. If there is a problem, basically the only recourse you have is to flail about on HN, Reddit or Twitter and hope that you are noticed by a random Google employee who feels

With the exception of a better camera, there is no need to buy a new phone. Manufacturers remove features.. removing 3.5mm, SD card, IR, removable battery, etc. Having the "newest model" will not change your texting experience, an

There are some great Reddit mods, but there are also some truly awful ones and the corporation does not have a proper arbitration process for managing things. Example fictional scenario, but entirely plausible as variations of this do play

I have a suggestion. Reflective LCD colour displays with no backlight. You can get them in 8" tablet form as found in the TCL Nxtpaper S8 and in 32" monitor form as found in the Sun Vision Display.

If it's a key social media presence for you then that means you're logging into it and using it, so there is nothing to worry about.

I don't know why Mastodon is hyped up so much. I do not have an account on it as I have some concerns. My understanding at the current time is that a server can be run by a single random individual, they can read your DMs as they are n

It won't be forever. I remember Musk saying awhile back that they were going to flush inactive accounts at some point. I agree with this. Why should a username remain reserved if it hasn't been logged into for years?

People are the product. If they are using the third-party apps they are producing content on the platform for others to engage with, which drives traffic to the site and allows for delivery of ads to others.

I don't think this is true. Reddit is a corporation. If they decide they want to replace the mods in any sub with new mods they can do just that. There is no property ownership in the reddit domain. They just avoid doing so, but they c

The API third party clients use to connect was disconnected. The app literally cannot connect to Twitter anymore. There is nothing they can do, other than writing a web scraper, which isn't worth it. I don't agree with the unannou
