Learn to take care of yourself, before you take of others.

Some examples of poor compression: cameras, dashcams, security cameras, basically anything that just dumps an image into a stream.

Give LyX a try. It’s like writing TeX in a much more friendly way.

Steamer with 3 baskets that can be stacked. Never had vegetables taste better and making rice is fire and forget.

I use a little dish and a silicone brush. I think whether or not it will clog will depend on the oil a lot.

Just wait until you watched a certain little Britain sketch. “Bubbles” will be forever etched into your mind.

You can read measurements without going to the device itself, instead, you use a phone or similar. This also means that a device doesn’t require a display. Consider an outside thermometer as example. Home automation allows you to draw a little graph giving you a good idea how cold it got. Let’s add another measurement device, say a radon meter. Again, no display needed and you could stick it somewhere less accessible.

You can make home automation as silly or useful as you want it to be.

My biggest beef with the NA outlets is that they wear out fast, causing plugs to not hold securely. Plugs with round prongs secure a lot better in their socket. Outlets with a shaped/ recessed (non-flat) faceplate also do a much better job at keeping the plug in.

I’m glad I can laugh about it now. The one thing this did do was educate a lot of people about the importance on off-site backups and off-site fail overs.

The humor is in the amount of hoops to jump through to get some basic info out using Powershell. Under Linux one would use a single command or just check what the system exposes in the form of a file.

I have no idea how to do forensics under Windows to be honest. You’d probably have to write something to get to the block layer so it can be dumped and analyzed. Perhaps OP can amuse us how he went about it.

Because it’s not Windows and it’s not MacOS. Yes, it’s an operating system, but what people are comparing against are their expectations. I dont expect a program that’s not written or designed for my particular distribution or operating system to work. Now, in some cases it turns out that it does and sometimes it works better then under Microsoft, but that shouldn’t be your expectation. The software that is made for it runs as expected.

Working hardware is usually step one. If your hardware isn’t supported then of course you’re in for a rough ride.

As far as cooking spray goes, you pay for the can and then you pay for the product inside. A silicone brush and a few drops of good cooking oil works equally good and you know exactly what you’re cooking with.

After years of baking bread almost every day, I second this.

You can, it used to the last resort way of rebooting the phone if it hung completely. Mine is still using the original battery, which, considering the amount of charge cycles, is quite impressive.

As for daily usage and “tech” - I have a Samsung Galaxy S1. The battery still holds a charge and it’s being used on a near daily basis (for very simple stuff). Runs Omnirom with android 4.

That is just brilliant!

It really depends on the quality of the bread and the loaf packaging. Bread and bread packaging differs greatly across the world. The lighter the bread, the more likely it is too dry out quickly. The packaging needs to prevent it from freezer burn, a high quality bread bag does more then a piece of plastic that’s supposed to let the bread air out.

Give it a try, buy a heavier bread and stick it in a good plastic bag. Should last a week easily. Make sure your bread is pre cut as cutting frozen bread is not fun.
