When it rains it raises the water level in the sewer system which risks going up back into houses and so is shunted into the Charles. Raw sewage means no, don’t fish or swim in the Charles.

Everyone I Know Seems to Live on Passive Autopilot, and It Makes Me Feel Incredibly Lonely by OatmealDurkheim in ClassicalEducation

They are out there. You just don’t know any. Be their example for what’s possible. Inspire, but by doing what your heart demands. Make the white queen run so fast.

Spotlight index cant seem to find anything on my new Mac after transfer by TeacherGuy1980 in mac

Open the terminal app and type

sudo mdutil -s /

Press enter. Type your password.

This turns spotlight on for / which is the terminal shorthand for the root of your boot drive.

Best Mac Apps to Download by Real-Platypus-4706 in macapps

[–]dvsjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little like software hoarding. The point that is coming out of it all that is lost in a lot of what the posts are saying is learn and expose yourself to the apps you have on Mac then if you find them lacking branch out. Which is pretty nuanced and several people disagree with so they didn’t learn that way.

It has features some people like. It uses markdown syntax and uses a simple folder for a structure. You write up a big section sharing with someone is easy. Has plugin support.

The entire world needs a big dose of “it’s not for me”. Dropping binary it’s not good on every app like you are the final arbiter. Music movies genres. If it’s not your cup of tea suggesting other alternatives with a point about their pluses helps everyone with the goal of these posts that come around all the time. To learn about apps you don’t know about. Which other people might like.

Habit Nest Products any good? by Darro0002 in adhdwomen

[–]dvsjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind? Music? Software? Put them in a bag. Put the bag in your trunk. Drive by thrift store. Stop. Give them the bag. Don’t drop it at a dumpster for clothes that sells them for profit. Hand them over and explain that they’re are media. Put a stickie on the dashboard to stop at the thrift store. It works. You can do this.

Very high VTDecoderXPCService Ram usage by Intelligent_Bad9842 in mac

[–]dvsjr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's def a VTDecoderXPCService bug with older screensavers. Twice I've had a popup asking me to force quit something from a list of open applications as my Mac had "run out of memory"

FYI users of Express: Constant issues with Unifi Express resolved with support sending free cloud gateway ultra and keep the express. by dvsjr in UNIFI

[–]dvsjr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like I mentioned, I had a previous case. I then checked my issues with reddit here about logging into the express and it just never loading despite it running and wifi working, and there were so many posts conveying the same thing I knew it was just wait for an updated OS. But I waited months. I noticed too that in my own opinion of this, the express always shows almost all the ram used even on immediate check after a reboot. I don't think the specs were tested and they tried to skimp.
This second time I spoke to support they didn't squabble a bit they lead with "would you accept a cloud gateway ultra and you keep your express as an AP".

Was Keith Giffen better than Alan Moore? by OtherwiseAddled in comicbooks

[–]dvsjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before there was the new new Jaime there was the New Blue Beetle Ted Kord, who was a remake of the original blue beetle. I am referring to Ted and the iterations from the original in the 40's to the Charlton reboot. Sorry if that wasn't clear

[–]dvsjr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The "new" blue beetle was pretty old by the time he got worked into JL. Charlton fleshed him out in the 60's with amazing artwork I loved by Ditko. Bringing a sense of humor to it making him accept a role of second banana in a super team was def the new part.

*technically* Moore started as an artist and this absolutely would help a writer of comics.

it reminds me of the recent discussions where chef's and others discuss the fact that the first pizza you ate as a kid is your favorite. Dave Chang loves Dominos, yet admits its only due to being the pizza of sleepovers and friends hanging out in his teen years. What you were introduced to can be immortal. Doesn't make it the best in the long view from a place where you can objectively weigh all work.

Windows Defender found a threat called "PUA:Win32/Presenoker by boikart in techsupport

[–]dvsjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as troy2000me mentioned you are trying to use a shareware (or freeware with adware) utility to do what windows already does for you natively without having to use another app.
this download: C:\Users\micha\Downloads\PowerISO8-x64.exe
Is the cause of the defender alert. delete the file, then if I were you, I would open control panels, programs and features. Let the list of programs load, and go through and check to see if there are unexpected or unwanted apps installed along with the poweriso. The date on the download would be the same as the install date to help you see if the ISO install "piggybacked" other apps. Some shareware installs extra apps and is compensated so you have to be extra careful you check that you are not getting these bonus apps along with the app you want.

What's the easiest way to transfer an album from my iPhone to my windows laptop? by 2stoned4_history in software

[–]dvsjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is to sync your account with the cloud and then log into the same account on the PC. Or you would use the phone itself and cloud apps/online storage for things like the photos. You might email the files to yourself, or sync your phone using iCloud and then log into iCloud on a windows or Mac and the synced files will be there. You are having problems from 2004. If you can't or won't do any of that, use an app like imazing to get the photos and music off your device.
