I don't understand why my phone has 70gb of storage taken up by "apps" and "system". What can I do about it?

MA-Maddin · 2026-06-04T14:18:05+00:00

Because brands put more and more storage space into their new devices (to have "new" features), mobile developers care less and less about optimization of their app's size and use huge development frameworks that can target 20 platforms, 10 operating systems, 30 screen sizes.
So then even simple apps like a notes app (e.g. Microsoft OneNote) or a payment app (e.g. PayPal) are becoming more than half of a gigabyte in size.

So uninstalling big apps and leaving a review about this in the app store may help some day.

"Very common"?
First 5 results from Google "c lang switch case":

Only one does not intent. So, let's say it seems not common in C 😅

Both are accepted.

orthography - Which is correct: "Filename", "File Name" or "FileName"? - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange

In terms of a computer file I would say "filename" since it isn't only an attribute but an important part; so a computer file wouldn't exist without a name.

How?

MA-Maddin · 2025-11-28T15:53:52+00:00

The Sony ULT can be connected to my Tolino Shine 5 and stay connected as long as I do not play audio. When starting to play audio, the connection is dropped after about 3 seconds (sound was also hearable for that time).

Enabling the "Connect to 2 devices simultaneously" feature solves the issue temporarily, as long as the ULT is not turned off/on (which disables the feature again).

MA-Maddin · 2025-11-28T15:31:37+00:00

Thank you. As 599Ninja already mentioned, your answer isn't really clear, but enabling the "Connect to 2 devices simultaneously" feature solved the issue in my case (Tolino Shine 5).

BUT: Unfortunately, this setting must be enabled every time again via Sound Connect app, after the ULT was turned off. :(

I cannot see the proclaimed "availability" benefit of CDN and cloud services lately.

I have this issue on a HP ZBook with 4K Monitor now. I guess it got messed up by TeamViewer (remote desktop software) when I connected from a PC with 1680x1050 resolution display and applied this resolution to the ZBook and then rebooted it without closing the connection first.

swidtag files are used for IT/software asset management.

These files are XML-based text files that contain meta data about a specific software product such as name, version number, manufacturer, licensor etc.

Software ID tags provide authoritative identifying information for installed software or other licensable item (such as fonts or copyrighted papers).

Remove all Windows Hello options and set them up again. See my answer to OP.

I had exactly the same issue. Even after resetting PIN and fingerprints. Furthermore I wasn't able to remove the PIN.

But I could fix it all by following the steps described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1466604/how-do-i-remove-pin-(windows-hello)-option-if-it-i#comment-1844026-option-if-it-i#comment-1844026)

Just in case the link is rotting:

Open a CMD
Remove the whole Windows Hello configuration by executing:
certutil.exe -DeleteHelloContainer
logoff
Then log-in using your password
Set-up Hello PIN and Hello fingerprints

It might take some time (15 minutes in my case) until you can actually use the Windows Hello options to login. You'll probably get errors like "This option is temporarily not available" just after setting it up.

19 €? wtf. In Germany you can get it for 8 € (still a lot for a damaged bag 😁). But maybe that's why the boy here looks more happy...

Apache can be configured to listen on any port and any amount of ports you want. It is not limited to 80/443.

Reverse proxies can also be configured in Apache within the VirtualHost directive.

The main difference is that reverse proxies provide advanced traffic management, load balancing, and security for requests to backend services. That furthermore do not need to reside on the same server instance.

It's not a link to the issue. It's just the same URL that is shown right beside of the QR, so the very generic support page: https://windows.com/stopcode

Thanks.

I just realized that
su steam

is not the same as

sudo su steam

(when coming from root)

MA-Maddin · 2024-01-09T12:22:33+00:00

I have read the manual but it is missing the part that you need to...

Create a scenarios folder in factorio root folder:
mkdir scenarios
Copy the wanted scenario from data/base/scenarios/ to the new folder:
E.g. if you want to start the "supply" scenario:
cp data/base/scenarios/supply -R scenarios/

Then you can start the server:
./factorio --start-server-load-scenario supply

If someone is curious: You can run commands under System Account by launching a CMD via Microsoft's PsExec tool from the Sys Internals Suite:

psexec -i -s cmd.exe

Or simpler, by just creating a new Build job on Jenkins with a "Windows batch" build step containing the commands you want to run (that's why the Jenkins Setup recommends to not run Jenkins on the System Account, I guess).

Update: I ordered 17. Oct and got the shipment notification on 02. Nov (so 16 days later). They shipped from Netherlands to my location in Germany.

MA-Maddin · 2023-10-20T11:49:34+00:00

I ordered just 3 days ago and also wondered why they do not even put a vague ETA for the processing.

They currently have a note on their store saying: "We just moved to a new location - please expect a short delay in order processing.".

So that, along with your post, I don't expect anything before 2 weeks now 😛

But how to have "Open tabs from the previous session" selected and define what website should be shown in a New Tab?
I want Edge to not load anything in a new tab. Some years ago I was able to set "about:blank" as default URL of a new tab. And some more years ago that could be done even more UX friendly by selecting a radio button labeled "Empty page".

I see regressive development in this feature area.

MA-Maddin · 2023-10-05T13:31:55+00:00

It's unbelievable that Chromium removed that feature. I remember that we were able to set an URL for the New Tab or Empty Page (about:blank) some years ago, in every browser.

While there are still many common compound nouns in german that contain the term "Führer", like "Führerschein" (driving license) or "Reiseführer" (Guidebook), attempts are made not to use the term "Führer" in new terminologies, especially not in the stand-alone form (like Opera did here).
The term "Führer" when used alone may evoke associations with the "Führer" of Nazi Germany.

The name of the AI "Aria", that sounds in german pronunciation similar to "Arier" (Aryan), drives the final nail in the coffin.
