I know this isn't a great solution, but could you try a lightweight pair of headphones, and some relaxing music? Not particularly heavy music mind, but just something you can leave in the background. Maybe a movie soundtrack. I use v

I do all my gaming on Windows and I still only buy AMD GPUs, so that when I switch back to Linux to start working, everything's rock solid and stable. I don't know if maybe I've just had bad luck, but nVidia cards have alwa

Yes, the "Classic" style in XP looks somewhat closer to Windows 98, or the original Windows NT builds. Weirdly, there's a Wikipedia article which covers the available themes, and it has good examples of each: https:/&#x

The ones in fuel pumps are the worst. In my town I make a point of avoiding any gas station that has sunk to that level, but they seem to be harder and harder to avoid especially when traveling.

No, not really. There's a "Windows" version for Windows-based desktops that can co-mingle with the other C++ versions, but the main version of the game is still based on Java, with the features being ported to the various con

Yup, we have those in Texas too. I assumed they were standard; I guess TIL I learned they're not. They very much should be. Children, especially very young children, are quite unpredictable even when they should know better, and the

So I've tried to use OpenStreetMap but it's hard to ditch the business directory that Google Maps has built in. Are you aware of any open source / crowd sourced directory of physical businesses? It seems like such a thing c

Slightly off-topic, but I realized that sites which really want the video to play will start playing the video when you scroll. I believe this works because the scroll event is considered user-triggered, and sticking the "play video&

Well, if we make that a metric, it'll be gamed, no? Don't track that at all. The advertisement should run for a set amount of time, and the correct metric to track is successful leads that originate from the campaign, which is eas

I did the numbers with the AT&T sales rep here in South Texas, which has a similar plan and cap. If my math is anywhere close to correct (questionable), actually pulling 1000 Mbps would would exhaust the 1 TB cap in about 2.3 hours. Y

Perhaps I'm simply too old, but my first decade of computing was spent using software installed from CD-ROM drives, which you would typically purchase in a brick and mortar store, drive to your house, and install once. We had dial-up

I do not own a Fitbit, but on my older Pebble, the music integration feature allows me to play/pause the music, switch tracks (to skip that one song in the playlist I should really remember to remove), and adjust the volume. When I&#x2

In high school, this is probably what it was. My body wanted to fall asleep well after hours due to timing but I still had to get up at 7am for school. Being shorted on sleep sucks. My current adult strategy is to simply plan for 7.5 hou

I also stayed up until 1-2am, regularly, starting around junior high. I performed a great many tasks, mostly teaching myself various programming languages, always at the relative expense of my concentration in the next day's classes. T

With DNS over HTTPS, the ISP would have the ability to see the IP address you are connecting to, yes, but critically they would not have the ability to see the domain name that you had visited unless your browser is also doing SNI. Which it

For the Pi in particular it's been a mix of both, I think. Its sheer popularity means that there's less pressure on the package maintainers to ship working builds; for example, you can technically "apt-get install cura"

You would think this, but it's preeeetty amazing how much of the Linux world works on an ARM-based Raspberry Pi. It's mostly a matter of finding the source and doing a proper cross-compile, but it's kinda incredible how much

I work for a web hosting company in the US and at least in our case, it's quite common for remote management to be enabled on pretty much all of our dedicated hardware. However, because of the inherent dangers in opening this up to the

If you can reboot it without anyone noticing? Really, really easily: iDRAC gives you access to the local console, like a remote KVM. Reboot into single user mode, change a password, done.

As a counterpoint, it feels like you're complaining about losing the ability to control a device you don't normally have the ability to control by exploiting some facet of it's operation. Isn't the real problem that you

This is why I continue to seek out and work evening shifts. 3am-10:30am is just about exactly what my body wants to do naturally. Shifts that start at noon and get out after dark are perfect; once I got that synergy, I stopped feeling tired

In America at least, black clothing (typically formal wear, the specifics vary from place to place) is strongly associated with mourning. It's traditional garb at funerals and gatherings to pay respects for the departed. This may be di

I work for a web hosting company in Texas, and this is ridiculously common. Any public IP with any public service at all will be poked, prodded, and generally made uncomfortable by every bot and crawler you can think of, trying common passw

For those who don't feel like watching the video (it's long and a bit dramatic), the group has put together a spreadsheet for viewing. Note that this is ALL banned words, not just the ones this author has issues with, so the conte

That's the general idea, yeah. I always start with the power supply because that part is under the most electrical strain, and tends to get hot. That means its components are often both the first to fail, and the most likely to cause

Yes, quite often in fact. On older motherboards, often the only problem is something benign like a blown capacitor, which is a few cents at the hardware store and a few minutes labor to desolder the old and attach the new. It's a reall
