JD2 is great for cutting through redirect-er to get the source of the file. There are some sites that use multiple of redirect-ers for single link.

Add to that, avoid multivitamins if you are on medications. Turns out some vitamins, specifically Vitamin C, may prevent some medications to be absorb in the bloodstream.

Their selective enforcement in SoCal is annoying. Majority of us are speeding above the limit and they don't even bat an eye. I got a ticket for going above the limit when I was following the flow of the traffic. I guess they are more interested in exercising their power when they felt like it.

Factory Reset does not mean to reset the phone back to the original version it came with. Factory Reset is basically erase everything and load the protected partition to "reinstall" the OS (if you upgrade your OS several times, it will use the current OS version.)

Factory Reset term been around for so long and everyone already know the term meaning. Even I remember that term 25 years ago. Apple chose to change the language and this cause confusion. "Factory Reset" and "Erase all content and settings" didn't implies the same meaning. Apple should add a subtitle or a tooltip to indicate that it is factory reset or additional context for us to understand what it does. So why change the term if it isn't broken?

I am curious why Total Commander is the only one that is signaled out? There are thousand apps that are capable of doing this and TC is the only one that Google have an issue with. I feel that there is something more to the story. I read the article and Dev seemingly didn't do anything wrong but yet something fishy going on since Solid Explorer, F-Droid, Firefox, etc does not receive those notice from Google AFAIK.

Coffee Stain (Satisfactory Dev) made improvement with the games. They are on Update #5 now and soon will be releasing Update #6. Try it out now to see if they fix it.

Agreed, that is way too short for me. I found 2hrs or 4 hours is the reasonable amount to cut off.

I wonder EU have that 40 min cut off is due to their high voltage/amperage?

I have a Black & Decker one, it have 2-hours shut off. My previous maker is Mr. Coffee and it have 4 hours shut off.

The only I know that consumer coffee maker don't have the auto shut off is the one that have a rocking switch and they are normally the most basic kind ($10 - $30 USD).

I don't believe so because it is not nationally accredited. If the college are not nationally accredited, then it is highly likely that universities in Europe will not recognize WGU. Unless the institution have a formal agreement (Articulation Agreement) with WGU to transfer.

Helpful tip for anyone with Android phone and macOS. I found that app will choke or crash if it is accessing folder with over 500+ photos. Create a new folder outside of that photo folder. Then use the Android file manager to transfer or copy the photos you want to the new folder. Connect it to macOS and you will be able to grab the photos from the phone to macOS without crashing.

It is Verdana for those who wants to know the font in HN.

> Of course, filling out the same hundred questions for every job would be terrible. So there should be a website that collects all the questions and lets you resend them to each employer, and lets the employer pick which questions they require and which they don't.

This is what I did with Obsidian.md, any questions for the applications will be copied and pasted to Obsidian with my answers. If I come across a different applications that have similar question, I look up in Obsidian and use my answer from there with small modification of my answer to fit their culture or mission statement.

It helps a lot because often the company I applied for usually asked for Cover Letter. Obsidian.md have my cover letters for various companies I applied for and it is easy to look back to those and find the one that fits best or create a new entry with a copy of the previous letter and modify it from there.

It is very real, unfortunately. I handles contract often and have clients who demands for wet signature, even during the pandemic. Majority of that coming from public sector.

> Apple's implementation isn't perfect, but from experience I can tell you it's 10X better than the nightmare that is Android Bluetooth

Seem like I have different experience with them. I don't have issues with Android Bluetooth, I do have issues with Apple bluetooth.

Half of the time, my iPad couldn't detect my bluetooth devices (keyboard and audio accessory) are trying to connect to it (already paired). When that occurred, I have to go to the Command Center to force connect my bluetooth devices and half of the time iPad will obligate and connect. Other time it just give up and said couldn't connect or cannot find it (while my bluetooth device is poking iPad to connect). It is a hassle to use my bluetooth devices with the iPad daily.

On the Android side, it instantly connects, even my phone is sleeping.

> Then why mute yourself?

Why not? The only sound they will find is my dogs barking, doors slamming (I lives in apartment), my partner talking in his phone, all of that background noise. Why participants should be subjected to those noise and why Zoom need to know the noises?

> Why do you prefer to sign over video instead of typing? Are there forms of expression that are more natural that way?

We signs because Signed Languages is our modality and the only form of expression in Deaf communities. There are no written sign language or spoken sign language. Using sign language is natural for us to use. We avoid using typing because it is not a true representation of the community, we don't have same proficiency of written/spoken languages as you and others. So to them, it looks like we are from a call center in India with broken English.

As a Deaf person, the notification annoyed the heck out of me and there are not even an option to disable the notification. I muted my mic because I am Deaf and I don't use my voice to communicate with my fellow Deaf friends over Zoom/Teams.

And there is no option to disable Zoom joining-room audio (the one that when you join the room, Zoom present the option to ask which microphone you want to enable). Why would I need to enable the microphone if I am signing to my Deaf boss? Deaf communities have major grief with those notifications.

At least, I can disable the microphone access in my macOS and Zoom won't complain. However disabling mic permission in iPadOS will make Zoom to whine about it. Every time I join a meeting, it will let me know that the microphone access is disabled and "kindly" asked me to enable it. In Windows, I can deny the microphone access to Zoom in the Windows setting, however for some reason that made Zoom to crash.

Deaf person here. Those resources are great to learn from. However they lack the interpersonal aspects. It is similar to using Duolingo, you learn it from the app but it does not do enough to help you to retain the language. Our syntax, language, grammar are structured differently than what you are used to with your spoken languages.

If you want to be effective signing user[0], you are encouraged to interact with our community. You get a better exposure of our language through social activities and it will help you to retain your memory of our language.

Another resource I recommend is taking sign language classes in community colleges, they are cheap to attend and satisfied your foreign language requirements (if you are undergraduate). You get interactivity from your classmate and teacher, so you get a better benefits to retain our language than relying on those app alone.

Don't be scared of learning sign languages, they can be overwhelming. But it will worth it in the end. One advantage of sign languages my hearing[1] friend told me about that they can eat and sign at the same time without speaking, they don't have to worry about spitting out the foods while they are speaking.

If you are open for suggestion, there is a software that would work for you. Shoko Server[0] would be best for managing Anime. I like them since they made my anime folder easily to be managed. And they uses AniDB as their anime lookup. Basically it is a cataloger, file manager, file renamer, database lookup, file tracker software.

They have a plugin for JellyFin, ShokoFin. And I believe they do have a integration with Plex.

This replaced my previous setup and it works amazing with my Kodi.

Jellyfish is a fork of Emby.

Same, tried Nix on my macOS (MBA M1) back in January. The installation is painless but it ran into an issue in the first run after it. It looks like that I skipped a step somewhere, I was following the guide and it should be working but its not. I suspected it was the guide that someone forgot to include it in the documentation or edge case I experienced. Now the uninstalling part is painful because there bare minimum documentation about this. Tried all different way to remove it and I couldn't. Took me a month to finally remove Nix from my macOS, I found the information through SO.

Took me a while why Office is still using Intel code. Turns out they have "Open with Rosetta" enabled. I disabled Rosetta on those apps and it went to use Apple Silicon code. Now it is snappier than using Rosetta.

Thanks for letting me know!

DOB made sense because 10,000 people in the world have the same birth date. DOB (without PII) didn't narrow enough to identity the person. Regarding that last 4 SSN, yea I would never give that out.

My doctor office required me to provide my DOB before I can schedule an appointment or questioning over the phone. My pharmacist required my DOB before I can get my meds from them. If I don't provide my DOB, they will turn me away and assumed that I'm a scammer.

I have the same rule for online chat support.

Last week, I cancelled my Netflix subscription and been trying to remove my credit card details from my account to prevent surprise reactivation in the future. There wasn't an option to do it online, so I went in their chat support and ask them to remove my CC information from my account. Then they asked me to provide my CC number to validate who I am. I told the rep that I am not comfortable sharing my CC information over the chat and prefers only give out my service code or alternative information. This rep kept ensuring that it is secured and they can't see what I am typing in. I asked them to initiate it and I will decide if it is trustworthy to put it down. I got the prompt and it asked for a full CC number. I declined the prompt and told them that I'm not comfortable doing that. And it didn't help that the rep are unintentionally behaving like a scammer. I shared my concerns about the rep behavior and remarks that scammers can say those things. The rep understand my concerns and asked for other information like the email address that is linked in the account and what are two recent activity on the device I uses. I gave out the information and validated I am the accountholder. Then the rep processed my request and I see my CC information is removed from my Netflix account.

Are you using it on Apple Silicon? If so, then Rosetta is the reason why Excel are not performant on macOS. Office365 for macOS are using x86 code at the moment, Office team is rewriting Excel to work on Apple Silicon/ARM. They have a preview build out, I'm not sure when they will release the stable version. I recalled they said it should be release in Spring or Summer.

If you have Excel running, open the Activity Monitor and find the app in the list. Then look at "Kind" column, you will see "Intel" listed. So that's why Office365 are sluggish on it.

You are not wrong. I was in a game modding & hacking forum and there was a discussion about particular game. There was heated debate between the original poster and the moderator in a thread and then this moderator decided to target and respond hateful political comment against the original poster that are not relevant to the gaming mod topic. It is like the mod had their ego bruised and felt like need to take it out on the original poster. I reported that mod to the admin/owner of the forum and the response I got from them is that everything is fine and it is not against their TOS (while it is...). Which is sad because this mod is well known in this community, it is out of character for this mod to react that way. After that response from admin, I lost all respect for that admin and the mod.

If the content of the folder or repo have thousand of files and folders, then it would made sense for Spotlight to index them all.

It the same for transferring the folder/files to other location. a single 1GB file will take 5 second to transfer to external hard drive. A 1GB non-zipped folder (consists of thousands of thousand file from 1KB to 1MB each) will take half hour or more to transfer to external drive. I have a 150GB folder that contains over 500k of files, averaging 120KB to 4 MB, will take 3 hours to transfer to the external drive. I have another 120GB folder that are consist of videos, averaging 300MB to 10GB, took 20 minutes to completely transfer to external drive. This transfer through NVMe ---> spinning rust external drive through USB 3.1.

If you are pulling a large repo that have thousands of files in it will take a while for Spotlight to index each file. That is not the fault of Spotlight, that is just the way it is because it have to scan individually each file to index.

You need to go in the Search Indexing setting to remove the directory for indexing. And only tick the directory that you want to index.

Also to completely disable it, you needs to disable the service and remove the entry from schedule tasks. It keep coming back because of the service and scheduled tasks are not disabled. This is how Google Chrome keep starting up their updater and bypassing my disabled startup entries for Chrome. Because of scheduled tasks is not removed, Chrome uses that to reactivate their updater and recreate a startup entry. Managed to completely neutered Chrome updater through Sysinternals AutoRuns.

Largely to blame for the fall of public web forums is moderation. It always boils down to moderation. Moderating forums is not an easy task. I used to be a forum moderator 20 years ago for 2D MMORPG forum, I have difficult time to moderate a forum that have over 20k registered users with over hundred sub-forums. With moderation team, it is still difficult to moderate professionally and clean.

Majority of the moderation are volunteering position, meaning they don't get paid to moderate those sites. Reddit plagued with this issue, there are power mods that moderating 50 or 100 subs. The reason for that because no one else want to moderate the subs since it requires time investment.

Moderation is always and a thorn on their site for many forum/discussion sites. When Elon Musk announced their consideration creating a new social media platform, I always think of how they will manage the moderation part in those platforms? Look at other small social media platform like Truth, Gab, Parler. Common issue with those sites is moderation.

Majority of the games out there always have warning before the title menu and continuing the game, the warning is always this "If you see this icon, please do not try to quit or shut down the game while it is saving". If they have that warning, then it should respect the user's command. I had a few games that locked out Alt-F4, refusing to listen to that command. The only way I can quit is through their menu then go to the main menu, then go to the title menu to confirm the quit. And the game have the gall to ask "Are you sure you want to quit?". Then what is the point of having that exit game option there if they are making us to through the hassle to quit the game.

Thankfully for SuperF4, it will force exit the game or any app that I have it focused on. I had one game that outright shamed me for doing that and I never went back to that game again. Sorry, I don't have time for games that chose to lock out the exit and three-finger salute command. SuperF4 is the boss now and there nothing that those games can do.

HN have a different approach. Here in HN, new accounts are restricted to comments only, the restriction will slowly remove as the account get older and have amble "karma" (sorry, I am not sure what term for here in HN) then they will gain the ability to vote later on.

Also HN prevents people from voting on parent comments if they respond to it. So if they commented it, then it is considered as voted. If they up/downvote the comment and then posted a response to that, HN automatically replace the vote to comment response.

I like this approach because it is a great way to have engaging discussion than trying to drive meaningless and irrelevant comments as top comments.
