Yes, always buy or use your erased previous device for applications that require work credentials. When WFH became more widespread at the office in 2020, the local mgmt team told everyone to enter all sorts of information into a spreadsheet

It was certainly possible to do nude photos in the 1960s and 1970s, with a bit of work. Pictures converted to ASCII and then printed out over multiple sheets of dot-matrix fanfold paper could be taped together and then you would have a post

It probably helps that it doesn't require one to memorize 10,000-20,000 individual characters and isn't a multi-tonal language so it also doesn't require excellent hearing discrimination.

I used to be active on Twitter. I had a third party client I really liked, I had it configured just right and used the service a lot. Then Twitter the corporation with the API removal crippled the third party clients in the interests of pus

I defragged a SSD partition recently. First time in MANY years I ran a defrag utility. There is still a reason to do it.. if you want to shrink a partition using stock utilities then you need contiguous free space.

I have a deathstar in the basement. It was working last time I placed it in its cardboard grave of obsolescence. Who knows what would happen if I powered it up today? I don't really know what to do with all my old hard drives. I love S

If Trump runs and is re-elected, the American companies like Google will be under the control of his government. He has a lot of anger about being deplatformed, and they will be brought to obey his bidding as a priority and fairly quickly,

This. DDG is my primary search engine now and has been for awhile. I don't use Google anymore to search unless I really need to. The algos they use today are not the same classic ones that actually returned results.

The interface and the approach by the site owner makes a difference. I hated looking at threads on Microsoft or Intel's forums. Many replies to postings were clearly level 1 outsourced agents in India or some other faraway place readin

I plan to replace some RIFA caps on a 9" monochrome that hasn't been powered on for years but was still working last time it was powered on. Do you know how long it takes for an old CRT like that to bleed out all the power if it d
