Curious to know how this possibly made it to the front of HN.

What is that true value? And was it accurate?

Does it come with a snooze button?

I just can't understand who in their right mind, and is even remotely concerned about the privacy of their personal information, would upload their own DNA to a business. An internet-based one at that. Lemmings, I tell ya.

Same here. I specifically remember staying home "sick" from school just so I could transfer those COMPUTE! programs from paper to screen and eventually to cassette tape! Still have the entire setup except for the 13" Montgomery Ward TV it was connected to. I owe my entire tech career to my parents buying me that little TI from Shopko in 1983.

Trailing commas are stupid no matter what language they are in.

That's nice. What about Slackware?

Extreme Privacy by Michael Bazzell is a great resource to learn how to limit exposure to these aggregator services.

Brought back frightening memories of running a 10BASE2 network on LANtastic. Any one bad connection and the whole network came down. So much fun to troubleshoot.

+1 Beyond Compare. It's been on my list of must installs for every new system I've set up for many years.

I was a very long time user of TextPad as well. I just had to go look it up and am pleasantly surprised it's still being updated. Though, the copyright on their website still says 2020.

RIP FoxPro.

I had forgotten all about DAK! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. I still have some of those cassettes stashed away somewhere. I can only imagine what's on them. ha!

And FoxPro! :)

I remember my dad building the depth-finder/fish-finder. We always had it in the boat with us. Who knows if it ever really helped us find fish, but we sure had fun with it.

Side note - I really miss that you can barely buy RC car "kits" anymore. Everything now comes RTR (ready-to-run). And that takes most of the fun out of it, for me at least.

Agreed. I know of not a single person in my life who even knows what Mastodon is.

Install iCloud app locally and sync them. Then backup your local folder to another device or cloud. Backblaze B2 is a great cloud option for raw storage.

Stating the obvious... There are billion$ to be made in this thread.

Disconnecting / reconnecting a Windows laptop from a docking station.

Version control of Microsoft Word and Excel documents.

"Windows could not reconnect all network drives."

Where to even start with this... Ok, how about with Microsoft Outlook? The "undo" after deleting or moving an email works about 10% of the time. Sometimes it recovers the message, but most of the time it either does nothing or even better, brings back a totally different message!! smh

I first started using VueScan around 2000 with a Nikon LS-30 film scanner and hundreds of crappy APS cartridges. I've never had to pay a dime for updates ever since. And they are put out regularly to this day. Hats off to Ed Hamrick for a handy piece of software that just does what it's supposed to do.

Love it! Better looking than most corporate templated websites these days.

Very cool and well done!

Feature request #1 - color coding different types of events.

Optimistic thinking. Chances are it has many PDF and PowerPoint files scattered on it. And probably a shared user account where the files fill up a Windows desktop.
