I love AHK! It allows me to automate sentences or commands I frequently type. It also helps improve ergonomy of given websites (e.g. "page down" key rather than clicking on "next page"). It avoids the need to download do

He also explained how to mod a consumer TV to use RGB input (provided there is no SCART input). And he explains how to discharge the capacitors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLz6pgvsZ_I

Thanks, nice advice. I avoid TV and watch my usual Youtube feeds. And I benefit from free classical concerts and virtual museum visits.

The calendar entry is just a reminder, not an appointment. By the way, I also use 'Keep' than allow sharing notes between PC and phone.

Same for me, I used it in the train and it worked pretty fine. It still works today, of course there are no more UHF/VHF channels but I should find a use for the video input.

Who uses those boxes ? If the new-tab page contains websites I frequently visit, I eventually got there from easy-to-reach shortcuts! Therefore I won't bother trying to locate the website I want to reach from a grid of pictures, especi

Same thing with my Sny phone. But the solution is simple 1) deactivate the app, as stated in the article 2) create a shortcut to mbasic.facebook.com. This allows private FB messages without the need for Messenger 3) Prefer discussions in pr

Seems nice, but I would prefer to get generic ads rather than having no choice than answering "yes" to the "give out my data" question.

It's interesting to know that! How can I ensure, as an user, that the website I'm using doesn't store sensitive data locally ?

I agree about Apple making money on hardware rather than ads. I'm afraid of vocal interactions with Android stuff, on a watch, not with Siri, but with the Google assistant.

Today, services we interact with on a screen bring us ads. This is how we pay for them. Tomorrow, when new interactions will exist, we also will have ads. On the watch, during Siri conversations, ... Same as Facebook at it's beginning,

I understand that an app recognizes keywords by itself. Then it doesn't need to send any heavy sound data to the server. A simple "send an ad for uni" transaction is sufficient. I believe any microphone-authorized app (e.g.:

I tried it with a 323-Kb picture that was transformed into a 2,8 Mb txt file. It worked the other side, but I had a warning regarding the filesize and potential memory problems. Wouldn't it also work with UUENCODE ?
