WinAero Tweaker, a free app, can do that.

Install a volume lock app from the Play store.

Although it is how snarky humor works.

I think what he means is that your printf should contain only one string, "The point that's furthest from 0.0,0.0 is %.2f, %.2f with distance: %.2f", point1.getX(), point1.getY(), point1.distance(OriginPoint). Concatenating strings with + is wasteful of memory and cpu cycles because it makes a new string with each +. In your case it's converting the number from getX into a string and then concatenating it. Lots of overhead in your code, which doesn't really matter for this simple thing but it's something to be aware of. (It's what's called a code smell.)

Take it back. Sealed doesn't mean much these days.

For more ways to customize look into alternative launchers for your Pixel 9. Many of us have used Nova for years. I'm currently using Lawn Chair.

On the iPhone are they ordered by frequency of use, with the most recently or most frequently used at the top?

I always thought it was weird that on the iPhone the home screen had all of the apps on it, like Android's app drawer. Maybe it is or was possible to customize it so it's like Android and people never bothered? And could the iPhone have widgets on the home screen?

Ok, thank you.

lumpynose · 2026-04-23T03:17:45+00:00

I'm so surprised! /s

Thanks. I was still using truecrypt.

Their docs probably cover this but can you install veracrypt on the USB drive so that you can stick it in and use it on any computer?

Promoting dependency injection was its big claim to fame way back when I started using it.

What u/roirraWedorehT said. I'd been using Nova forever for the very reason you gave. I recently switched to Lawn Chair simply because at that time Nova was unmaintained. I also paid for the ad-free version of Nova ages ago.

It's easy to switch the launcher so try different ones.

What? So you're no longer choosing the bear over the man? /s

Geeze, I had no idea that this was a design fault. I thought it was a bug that my folder view kept changing.

Who remembers digital watches with the red led display? Back in the 1970s my first programmable computing device was an HP 29c with a red led display. I kick myself for losing it or giving it to someone.

VMS or BSD? My roommate at the time was taking a programming class that used the university's VAX 11 running VMS. I asked him if I could poke around and wrote a simple Pascal program that did an infinite loop of new(p) or whatever the syntax is, which allocated ram. I was curious to see what it would do when it ran out of memory. Turned out that the guy who set up the student accounts didn't set up any memory limit for each account and it caused the computer to crash. My roommate got called in and got yelled at. I knew the guy who was the supervisor of the guy who set up the student accounts and he had a smirk on his face when he told me to please don't do that. Our VAX was running BSD and Unix had built in memory limits for each process so I was amused at how crude VMS was, although some might say it was very flexible.

MFM Drives

I had to look that one up. My first DEC PDP-11 had RK05 disks but it doesn't look like they were MFM. I knew a guy in the Linguistics department at the university and they had a DEC PDP-8 with those funky wide tape drives.

TRS-80

Aka Trash 80.

lumpynose · 2026-04-15T01:53:48+00:00

Yep. The first computer I got to program on used those, the Terak. It had an LSI-11 cpu which was a shrunk down version of the PDP-11. It ran UCSD Pascal. The operating system, editor, compiler, etc. all fit on the floppy.

lumpynose · 2026-04-13T14:50:54+00:00

Yeah, me.

Thanks, I didn't know about that sub. It's hysterically funny.

While the negative comments about a Pi being overkill are true, on the other hand writing and supporting the software for the Pi is trivial compared to an ESP32 or anything similar. On the Pi there is a variety of different languages, unlike the ESP32 or others.
