That button will soon become "Show fewer ads" if it doesn't just get removed at all.

Just like how Youtube won't let you switch off Shorts, but will let you click "Show fewer" which lasts for a few weeks.

Same, it's one of the few alt codes I've committed to memory ALT+0151 in Windows.

HODL came from a drunk post on bitcoin talk.

OK, read the post ... legendary!

This bugs me no end. Image search is so challenging to use because the results are a vague interpretation of what you ask for, and don't try to be more descriptive because that's just more words to throw in the mix of results

You can run a script to scoop up the search points for desktop and mobile to skip the monkey work of collecting points. It won't get the extra points for doing other reward tasks.

My PC doesn't have TPM. It's old, but still perfectly fine to run for my needs. I use Unreal 5, play games, watch videos. Could run quicker but it's no landfill device. I don't think it'll suddenly fall to pieces come October so I wasn't looking to scrap it by then.

Looks like the IoT LTSC version will work. I'm still hoping that Microsoft relent on this move. Last I checked Windows 10 is still a very popular OS and I find it unlikely that people are going to update if they haven't already. If some kind of WannaCry attack happens due to a security hole it's going to look bad on them.

Also, as a kinda dark humor moment. October 14th is the retirement day of Windows 10, which is also international e-waste day. Unless I missed the memo, I thought it was an effort to prevent creating e-waste not one of planned obsolescence to try and make more.

I've put IoT LTSC on a couple 10 year old laptops we use for misc things and it runs great.

When I heard that a friend had bought one of these for a week long canoe trip we were going on I thought it was absurd. The idea of taking such a home comfort on a camping trip went against everything I felt camping stood for. Then I tried it, then I bought one, now I take it on every camping trip I make.

It's so light it adds basically nothing to your carry weight. It takes seconds to put together. It's insanely comfortable. Kicking back in it after a long day's hike or canoe whilst prodding at the camp fire is such a joy.

I put it alongside my thermarest as a thing I never felt I'd ever buy and now use on every trip.

Definitely worth having something other than the ground to sit on after a long day. I have a couple of light weight 3-legged stools, although they likely wouldn't be considered ultralight, that are light enough for the camping and hiking I do, although you have to sit just right to not crush your balls.

I only read about this recently. Such a dark premise, which I could imagine being an incredibly powerful movie if shot well, but missing the mark by even an inch would likely just end up to be an offensive mess. I presumed this movie was a case of the latter.

I find that using ways to step away from code help think things through in ways to overcome roadblocks. One recent trick I've found is rubber duck my issue into ChatGPT, which I used to do in a notepad (either digital or physical), the added advantage of ChatGPT is I can hit Enter once I'm done with my thoughts and get a response, which might have a solution in it.
