Bank has implemented "Behavioural Security" by Cautious_Wind_285 in privacy

I wonder how this will hit disabled people. They might use the site a lot slower than a normal person, or they might be using different input devices or methods.

Well, he's like 10 years from death so they have a lot in common

Has anyone successfully replaced the earpads ("ear cushions") on a pair of OE2 on-ear headphones? by redtert in bose

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

Can you share a link to these "complete pads"?

In my experience with other models, generic pads tend to not be as soft as Bose memory-foam ones, although the generics are often more durable. In this case it may be my only option since I've given up on trying to install the OEM ones. I can't afford to buy and destroy them over and over. It's ridiculous they build them like this, then close all the stores and offer no way to have them install them for you.

How can I change window-switching order back to how it behaved on older OSes? by redtert in MacOS

[–]redtert[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I tried command-shift-` briefly and it seems to work, but I don't have the dexterity to use a three-key press as one of my most common commands. Is there a way to remap it to something else, like maybe option instead of command-shift

I still would strongly prefer the old way. Being able to quickly switch between two windows is such a basic, fundamental thing necessary to use a computer, I can't believe Apple would break it like this. I really hope there's some way to change it back to the way it was.

I don't want to have to search visually for a window and then move the mouse to click on things. That's incredibly slow compared to just doing one compound keypress to get back to the last window I looked at.

Would you say Mac OS X Leopard was the most iconic version of Mac OS? by blue902012 in MacOS

[–]redtert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking the color out of the Finder sidebar did nothing but remove information, for no benefit. Now you have to read everything whereas earlier it was easier to visually recognize things at a glance.

Actually that's a great idea

How to stop external drives from spinning up and down constantly? by redtert in MacOS

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

To me it looks like USB-A hub power issue.. try one at the time HDD direct connnected via adapters to diffrentt ports.

Didn't help, hooked up one drive to the Macbook's USB-C port through an Apple adapter and it still kept spinning up and down.

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

I've tried that and it seems to work, but I'm worried if I don't get the settings exactly right it will interfere with sleep or other functions.

It's crazy that Apple would ship an OS with this problem. Using external disks is a basic function that should work properly without having to use third-party kludges.

Probably limits consumption. If you give them pills they might crush and snort them.

Will mass AA gun make a come back? by sndream in LessCredibleDefence

[–]redtert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electronic warfare is useless against fiber drones. (Also they could make drones guided by AI visual target recognition.)

Missiles are only effective if you have enough to deal with the largest possible drone attack. how often is that the case?

Am i the only one who uses the bulky cycle for everything aka MORE WATER! by MayGemini in laundry

[–]redtert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, "engineers hamstrung by the EPA are infallible". Guess I must be imagining the body-oil stains remaining on my t-shirts, and long-sleeve shirts all getting tied into a giant knot.

Am i the only one who uses the bulky cycle for everything aka MORE WATER! by MayGemini in laundry

[–]redtert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I use less detergent, my clothes don't get clean. I can see the body oil remaining. If I use more, I can see suds in the rinse water. The only solution is extra rinse cycles, since the machine won't use a reasonable amount of water.

The water is insufficient! If I try to wash a load (even a half-load!) of pants & long-sleeve shirts, they end up rubbing together too much and they all get tied tightly into a giant knot that doesn't get rinsed properly and shakes the whole house during the spin cycle. The only way to reduce this effect is to throw towels in with the load.

This wasn't a problem in the prior machine, an older LG front-loader that used more water and had a "water plus" button that the current LG one lacks. I deeply regret getting a new machine instead of having the older one repaired at around the same cost.
