I had the same problem. Luckily for me I found out before they went past the 30 day?* window, so I was able to renew and then transfer them away.

*I can’t remember the exact length of the window, but I think that’s right.

That’s a really good idea, thanks for the link :)

Brilliant, thank you :)

I’m going to give it a go over the weekend and see what happens :)

That looks ideal for me too, thanks for the link :)

Do you know if it works offline? So if I start an ebook or audiobook then lose my internet connection, can I carry on with the book?

That looks really handy, thanks :)

I’ve just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )

Does it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?

Well, I feel a bit daft!

I thought the filter was to only complete quests for certain objects. I had no idea that you could add items too. That’s going to make things easier for me :)

It’s good, but it depends on the map having the details in the first place. e.g. near me, the roads are mapped, and a lot of the town centre, but there’s a huge amount missing.

Street Complete can’t ask about a building if it hasn’t been added to OpenStreetMap in the first place.

I imagine you already know, but be sure that you’re saying that the street sign doesn’t exist, and not the street itself 👍

Oh, no, one of the guys took great pleasure in taking the disc out and handing it to the customer in front of everyone :D

I witnessed something like this once. I worked for a pawn shop, wiping and reinstalling Windows on computers they were selling, but occasionally working on one of the counters if they were short staffed.

One day a regular customer brought his PS2 in to trade, so it had to be tested first. The manager took it as a training moment for me and and a few others, and connected it to the main TVs around the store so that we could all see how he checked the system.

The customer had left a rather hardcore DVD in the drive and completely forgotten about it, until it started playing on the big screen, and everyone in the store learned about his preferences.

wanted a new laptop for a while anyways 😋

Always the best reason 😁

Why not just repair the hinges?

Depending on the pay, that’s a nice little scam for someone.

When I was in my mid 20s, the only jobs nearby were basic retail work, and mostly part time. As you can probably imagine, the pay wasn’t great. If remote work had been available then, I could see me being tempted to try this, even if it was just to tide me over for a while.

I’m the kind of person who hates not being able to do something, so I’d probably burn myself out trying to learn how to do the job in between working it, but it would still be tempting.

I think someone just misread what the article says and missed the ‘not’ in ‘need not be expensive’.

You’ve missed the second part of that sentence - ‘UNIX can run on hardware costing as little as $40,000’. The photo is the Finnish hacker making it work on a computer that cost a fraction of that, while drinking a beer. It’s a play on the hold my beer meme.

That’s a shame, it would have made things easier

Can you install Syncthing on your NAS? I’ve been using it with my Synology NAS to sync my music from my PC.

I set my PC to be read only for the share, so that nothing else on my network can accidentally overwrite anything.

That’s right, yeah. I’ve already got the NAS and my photos are on it though, so for my case, I may as well use it unless it’s got any flaws or deficiencies :)

I’ll look into that, thanks :)

Thanks :)
