And don’t forget to filter „xitter“ as that is probably also recommended.

Now let’s look at Office. Open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in any app other than excel. Tables are something that’s just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort. No, I’m not setting up a DB in an open-source competitor to Access. That’s just too much effort for simple sorting and filtering tasks, and isn’t realistically shareable with other people.

Oh you can take a look at LibreOffice instead which is open source and open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in LibreOffice Calc and see how it is there.

There are a few alternatives to Windows out there at this time, if you were to look into React OS and Great Tea OS to see what those are about.

Well, here, I had clouds that had gotten in the way of the eclipse on Monday, even though it had gotten to a sliver of sun left before the moon moved away. I was able to see that there was dim sunlight here when there was a break in the clouds and seem mysterious in a way to me.

Sounds like its a case of Enshittification happening to that once useful website.

Not sure, but better hope that it doesn’t disappear because this fox is fighting to get his domain back.

I just hope they don’t come up with dead fediverse theory next.

Well, I just went through some online instructions to setup an inbound rule in Windows Defender Firewall that is a list of IPs to have it block, hoping that will solve this ongoing problem I was having.

Not that I can tell, this is what shows up in the logs of just one of the hack or scan attempts.

It’s more like an inbound connection that is triggering the alert.

No, I don’t have any ports forwarded to my PC from the internet as far as I’m aware.

This is probably why it is usually a good idea to label your bottles or containers with names like salt, sugar, baking soda, flour, etc.

Not sure what anecdote is, but I’m actually quite upset about these shenanigans the companies that produce the current flat screen stuff they allow to happen in the first place.

Maybe someone will get the idea to start [email protected] for that and it could end up going as far as being dedicated to find, repair and exchange CRT TV as well.

And then someone gets the idea to find a way to play a VHS instead and be like “Let’s see you read that, you fucking spying idiots!”

It will still be connected to the Internet via the HDMI cord.

More like everything will be in a landfill before you allow it to send 1s and 0s through anything but the HDMI cord.

Sounds like the next conference you are going to have in that room is with the Supervisor or the CEO about either downgrading that shit and have everything wired instead, or physically ripping out the antenna is going to happen.

And then find out you are in Triangulum, the Galaxy known as M33, and wonder how the hell did you end up two million seven hundred thousand light years away.

If you rather go blind than trusting any digital maps, then the only other option is going back to old fashion paper maps that existed before Google Maps was a thing.
