- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
A word of caution: If you use bitlocker (copy your keys!), it can have hooks in the TPM/bios settings.
Disable bitlocker prior to attempting a live boot.
It will lock your disk if you don’t prepare for it.

Some tvs will attempt to connect with another and use its internet link if available. Samsung tries this.

Evidence of what exactly? Was a crime previously committed? Was it the officer’s “instincts” that told them so? This is the fun part of authoritarianism, there may have been zero evidence deleted (we don’t know), but now the act of wiping it creates a crime they can charge someone with. Bake him away, toys!

There’s no way. Two tons of flapjacks would need an aircraft flying at an altitude where the pancakes would disperse wide enough tha I’d receive a significant pelting, but would not die. You’ve absolutely lost your mind! 😬

There is no sarcasm here. You are right. They’d love that.
- Comment on How could you do this to me? 4 weeks ago:
That’s a little more of a pain to remove/disable them, but yes the old SSD will work fine for Linux. Windows does not respect the user or their experience so if you dual boot MS will clobber your Linux boot loader at some point. Keeping thing physically separate allows you to retain control.
The only games that deffo have issues in Linux are titles with anti-cheat built in.

Good to know and thanks for mentioning it, but it is odd that this happens if nothing is done to the host’s hardware. Did you ever discover the why of it?
find and copy your keys
A good piece of advice regardless of what one is doing. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard that keys weren’t found in someone’s account.

One could try a Live version for the distros that have that feature. For those unaware, the Live version is merely the bootable cd image (or USB image). Does no harm to the underlying OS. If you like it you can then install it.

Checked the Crealty site and the newer version of that model is $289. Doesn’t seem out of sorts for price of a used printer at all. That said, I am not an expert, but just someone interested in getting into this too.

Furthermore, the amount of soap needed for a wash can vary, but pods provide only one amount. Powder or liquid soaps can be portioned appropriately.

I thought so. Too many people use it as a perjorative when it really is merely an absence of knowledge. Not a bad thing itself, but something to “cure” for sure. Thanks for the post!

Ignorance.

Seems like some kind of oily fog/spray could obscure things until someone took the time to physically clear it. More temporary, but perhaps easier to accomplish?

I don’t know. Like you, I only use grill or pan for burgers. My event was with extra Parmesan on a french bread pizza. Fan knocked it right off the top.
- Comment on The humanity 2 months ago:
Just had something similar happen. Here is my “fix”: Cook your burger as you would. Pull it at the desired time for cheese. Place cheese on burger, give a slight press so that it engages fully. Close the drawer of air fryer and LEAVE IT OFF for at least thirty seconds so the cheese has a chance to bond. Then restart air fryer to complete the process. Hopefully this solves the problem for the next cheeseburger should you ever emotionally recover.

- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 2 months ago:
Something like a dozen years ago I visited my father and sat 20+ feet away from his 27" television struggling to make things out. It was comically small for the room. I asked if he was interested in buying a newer and larger one. He agreed and we made the change to a 43". A modest increase and it helped quite a bit, though an even larger model would’ve been my choice. This satisfactorily infuriated his wife who then had to learn a new remote. Change is hard for some.
