I want to migrate my dad from Windows to Linux but when I tried it 6 months ago using Ubuntu I couldn't drag a webpage icon to the desktop using Firefox reliably through its LiveCD.

Is this possible on Linux Mint using Firefox and Chromium? The behavior must be consistent between browsers in case he uses one or another. My dad relies on this functionality and typing commands into a CLI won't be convenient for him.

If you've spent any time on the Chyrosran22 Youtube channel you'll find IBM's beamspring switch keyboards have better feel than Model Fs. The Model Fs were a cost-reduced version of the beamspring, like the Model Ms were a cost-reduced version of the Model F.

Aside from the higher pitch sound of the Model F over the M, a benefit of Fs is their capacitance design allows true n-key rollover whereas Ms only have 2-key rollover. But Model Fs are more finicky of electrical ground connections.

It should say GOP Tariff Tax.

That was his stance until Google "copied" iOS. After that Android was a stolen product from iOS.

It's fine when he does it from others, not when others do it to him.

The CX8, has the ability to be installed in a PCIe Gen5 system that occupies 2 x16 slots through an auxiliary PCIe connection card. This ability began with their ConnectX-6 when they started to support Gen4.

I downloaded Zen when it was announced and copied my profile over to it. Aside from side tabs, it works the same.

This claim is just silly. I've never seen a clerk record serial numbers with purchases before. What serial number would they write from coins? Oh, of course, the date of mint.

You're not wrong but there will be enough stupid people accept his claims.

I use ExplorerPatcher. But the developers don't recommend it with W11 24H2 or mission critical work systems.

BBSes were free but at that time there was local toll from the phone company even within an area code. That information was described in the Bell white pages.

It's pretty easy to reuse those plastic bags. Treat them as small trash can bags typically used in bedrooms. Typically we would empty multiple bags' contents into a larger one for trash day. Our household also use them in our cars as trash bags.

Firefox also does this by default. Right click on the empty space and select Customize Toolbar, you can check Title Bar on the bottom left. Their developers just kept all the infrastructure intact, allowing one to choose Compact mode. HTTPS is enabled by default as well as do not track. But the options could be overridden by the user.

You just need to go out and hunt and wear polar bear skin or something like that. I saw a program a long time ago about some folks visiting indigenous tribes in the Arctic. The visitors said they were not comfortable wearing synthetics but the natives were fine who wore animal skin. Maybe they're just used to the environment?

Here is a presentation by Jeff Dahn regarding maximizing Li-Ion battery life. Although the audience is EV owners there are some things applicable for phones.

Basically prevent deep discharge cycles for Li-Ion batteries by using them between 45-75%. Try to keep the battery cool. Don't store a battery at high state of charge, especially in high ambient temperatures--store at 30%.

Hopefully with newer "single-crystal positive electrode material" batteries there shouldn't be any issues regardless of how one charges the cells. Apparently there are higher density nickle-rich cells so even single crystal variants should avoid charging above a certain voltage.
