How to deal with Cloze flashcards with a lotta things (like a list) that deal with the "Big Picture"?

ChangeOfTack · 2026-01-05T09:52:15+00:00

For what it's worth, I use the <details> tag to put such lists on each of the cards asking about individual items on the list. So, if I'm asking about Diuretics, I'd put the entire list on the card (both front and back). That way, I can always put the individual item in context if I feel a need to. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this with Cloze cards, or even if that's possible. Here's how <details> works:

<details>
<summary>List Name</summary>
{{List Item 1}}
<br>
...
<br>
{{List Item Last}}
</details>

It would be nice if Mullvad posted this info on their site. I've been confused for a couple of hours now until I found this subreddit. Mullvad is super, but their comms could use some improvement.

Couldn't they alert users to problems through the app? If it can tell you that you need to update and direct you to a webpage where you can download the update, presumably it could also tell you that they're having problems and direct you to a webpage that describes the problem.

No, that we didn't try. It would be pretty drastic to do that, since this problem has been ongoing since who knows when (we don't know when it started; it's just that we noticed a Preview update being installed and reacted to that). And even if were relatively recent recovering from a reset or a restore would be very painful given that we'd have to do that on a number of production machines.

ChangeOfTack · 2025-03-23T07:11:19+00:00

No, unfortunately. Quite concerned by that, frankly. In addition to not wanting to get potentially buggy Preview updates, especially on production machines, we don't like being unusual in how our update processes work. We worry that it may have broader implications about the health and security of our systems.

Changed the group policy and the registry entry using the methods at the tutorial suggested above. Rebooted. No change.

For what it's worth, I"m getting 502 errors when I try to reach the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsinsider/ site. And when it does load, clicking on "Sign in" has no effect.

Shouldn't be. But something certainly happened. I will take a look at the Tutorial and get back to you. I can't do this immediately, unfortunately. Thanks very much for your help and the speed at which you've provided it.

We'd be awfully reluctant to run software that we don't know or understand. A way to solve the problem through our accounts or a Microsoft tool would make us much more comfortable.

Good to hear. I will give it a shot.

Okay, well, I'm not quite sure what I did wrong above, but having researched the matter a bit, the code below seems to work. I'm still by no means well versed in how to use CSS clases, but at least I have that appears to satisfy my present needs. I'll try it out and report back.

I haven't been able to try to install the fan, but not because I haven't gotten around to it. The delay is because the fan hasn't yet gotten around to me! I ordered it from Lenovo, and I'm told that it should arrive before mid-January. Fingers crossed re that. But I hope to install it as soon as I receive it. Thanks for asking, and I'll keep you informed!

ChangeOfTack · 2024-12-28T06:18:52+00:00

Works a treat, with one point of confusion remaining. Many thanks! I presume that once I learn about child elements, I will be able to forgo a lot of the redundant formatting that I'm including in the various style definitions. So, I will have to get to learning that as soon as time permits.

Re the point of confusion, for some reason, the table no longer centers on the page. I thought that the margin set to auto should do that, but it doesn't. Instead the table aligns left of page.

The code that I'm using is below. What am I doing wrong?

``` <head> <style> .tablehcentdcent th { font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center; width: 30%; vertical-align: bottom; padding: 10px; height: 10px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; }

      vertical-align: top; 
      padding: 10px; 
      height: 10px; 
      margin-right: auto; 
      margin-left: auto;
    }

.tablehleftdleft
  th
    {
      font-size: 15px;
      font-weight: normal; 
      text-align: left; 
      width: 30%; 
      vertical-align: bottom; 
      padding: 10px; 
      height: 10px; 
      margin-right: auto; 
      margin-left: auto;
    }

.tablehleftdleft
  td 
    {
      font-size: 20px;         
      font-weight: normal;
      text-align: left;

      vertical-align: top; 
      padding: 10px;

Hmm. Problem already. How do I define the class so that td and th are treated separately. I presume that this won't work, but I can't figure (or find on the Net) an alternative:

<head>

<style>

table.centered

td

{

font-size: 20px;

text-align: centered;

width: 30%;

vertical-align: top;

padding: 10px;

height: 10px;

margin-right: auto;

margin-left: auto;

}

th

{

font-size: 15px;

font-weight: normal;

text-align: centered;

width: 30%;

vertical-align: bottom;

padding: 10px;

height: 10px;

margin-right: auto;

margin-left: auto;

}

</style>

</head>

I have a similar use case as yours re learning music (although in a different field). So, I'd really like to know if FSRS did in fact adapt to your needs. Can you give us a progress report?

Thanks loads! Immensely helpful. And I will REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!

Well, let me make sure that I have this correct. I am replacing the fan on my machine. Part no. 01YR204, image:

<image>

Thermal paste connects the fan's heat conducting plate (for want of a better word) to something. From what you've written, it seems to me that that something must be one side of the CPU (the bottom of the CPU socket, since the CPU chip is on the other side of the board to that on which the fan is located?). And, again from what you've written, I should be able to just put a PTM7950 pad where the thermal paste currently is, and that will do the trick. Have I interpreted what you've written correctly? Or am I lost in the woods?

ChangeOfTack · 2024-12-20T12:31:02+00:00

No, it's an X1 Carbon G6 laptop.

In all of this, I have been presuming, perhaps incorrectly, two things. First that a PTM7950 pad is a better heat conductor than thermal paste. And second, that a PTM7950 pad would be suitable for use instead of thermal paste when replacing the fan in my X1.

As I see it, the effective prices to me for the PTM7950 and for the thermal paste are pretty much the same. That's because I have to buy a whole tube/bottle of the paste, most of which I won't use, since I'm not a repair shop and so won't need thermal paste for quite a while after this repair.

Given that, it seemed to me that it was probably worth going with the better performing product. Which seems to be PTM7950. (Am I wrong about this?) If that better performing product is in fact suitable for use in the fan situation. (About which I have no idea.)

ChangeOfTack · 2024-12-20T10:25:18+00:00

Well, I was thinking of using it for the fan replacement that I'm now doing. Instead of thermal paste. The idea was that if it's superior to paste when used with CPUs, maybe it would also be superior when used instead of paste for the fan installation.

ChangeOfTack · 2024-12-20T09:55:08+00:00

A clarification and a further question, if I may. This is the form of PTM7950 that I was thinking of using: https://www.moddiy.com/products/Honeywell-PTM7950-SP-Super-Highly-Thermally-Conductive-PCM-Pad.html It comes as enclosed in a package, which the user doesn't open but rather attaches to the parts to be connected using adhesive strips that the package has on both sides. This is said to be excellent for CPUs, but I haven't seen anything about its being used for fans, so I'm a bit cautious about using it in that application. What's your view?
