Either that, or the page says that it’s been updated in the last month, but the content is about how to connect to the World Wide Web ‘(WWW)’ with a free AOL floppy disc

They’re handy for conversational type questions where remembering previous questions is important, but that’s about it. That’s not usually important though, and can easily be accessed through a website instead.

It’s an Epson Stylus, 235w I think. I’m not home to check at the moment. It’s not amazing, but it scans at up to either 1200 or 2400 dpi, and I usually use 600 dpi, as that’s more than enough for the typically low quality photos I’ve got.

I’m sticking with it on Windows for now too, as the software can do some corrections with one click, like certain colour corrections. I’ve tried a few Linux packages, and while they’re good, they’re all missing something compared to the Epson Windows software.

I use Onedrive for storing files offsite, and a Synology NAS for onsite. I’ve got my PC as the main source of my files, and use Syncthing to sync to my laptop and NAS, and Onedrive syncing the PC and NAS to the cloud.

I know Onedrive isn’t always popular here, but it does everything I need, and is cheap. It also lets me access my files from my phone

This is why I’m scanning in all my old physical photos. It’s great to go through the originals, but if anything was to happen, they’d be gone forever.

I need something like a pressure only on the left side of my sternum on just two ribs.

Could you fold over some gauze and bandage it in place as a temporary fix? The bandage could be wrapped around your body to spread the pressure on the opposite side.

It wouldn’t be a permanent fix, but could help you to fine tune where you need the pressure without having to design anything, and would hopefully provide some relief while you work on something better.

Mine is a Stone branded Clevo, a Stonebook Pro p11b, but as you say, there are others out there. I bought mine refurbished for about £150 and upgraded the SSD and RAM.

I’ve got a Clevo laptop that covers most of your list. Mine’s a bit older, a 7th gen i5, but was very cheap, and easy to upgrade. If the newer models are built the same way, it’s what I’m going to go for when I eventually upgrade 👍

Uncle Benned, or Obi Wan Kenobi Benned? 🤔

I don’t know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they’re better than the equivalents.

I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I’ve heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)

I can’t decide if that would be too sweet with the apple sauce base. That might have to be an experiment :)

That’s a good point. I haven’t cooked anything with apple that could go soggy for years, so I hadn’t thought of that. Pulled pork and apple pizza is sounding nice though :)

Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)

Thanks for replying :)

I managed to get it working with the answers from @Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me and this link:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-permanently-mount-a-drive-in-linux-and-why-you-should/

I must have been testing it when you answered :)

I’ve got them up and running, and working for both users, thank you :)

That’s brilliant, thank you :)

Usually /mnt/whatever for static mounts and /media/whatever for removable mounts (those appear as drives in file managers, whereas /mnt doesn’t).

Just to check, if I mount the drives under /media, will that still treat them as removable, or will they appear as permanent drives?

Ext4 everywhere.

Linux is obviously very good, but you are right, we give Linux a pass sometimes because we ‘build’ it. We tend to overlook its flaws because we want it to be better than the competition.

I’ve recently had an upgrade fail to the point of a reinstall, a folder that I can’t share between two users on the same laptop, and shutdown buttons on two computers that disappeared. If those problems happened on Windows, I’d be really annoyed, but because they happened on Linux, I just fixed them and carried on.

You’re being downvoted, but you’re right. Every adapter I’ve bought for a full sized hard drive has needed its own power supply. I’m not sure if I’ve seen one for a PATA drive that didn’t come with one.
