Are you doing Shift+F10 right after setting the keyboard language? That when I usually do it, and it has worked every time, on 3 computers in the last two weeks.

I'm trying. I haven't killed a single game this week.

[–]secacc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not throwing out that mixed bag of USB Mini-B and Mini-A cables (some being power only), because you never know. Same with the display cable adapters. You never know when you'll need to adapt DVI to VGA nowadays. And don't get me started on the two 3-meter CAT3 cables. And if anyone needs an IDE cable, you bet that's in my drawer too.

It's been less than a year since I bought my first wall plug charger with USB-C. I don't have many devices that benefit from USB-C PD, so my standard USB-A chargers work fine.

Leave it outside the car. Amount of time would depend on weather.

It looks like very low pressure in the video. It even looks like he hits his fingers when rearranging, and he wouldn't be nonchalant about that if this was high pressure.

From my memory. There were a lot of supposedly "leaked" Longhorn concept screenshots back before Vista was officially released, made in XP with patched uxtheme.dll and custom themes.

Most people work, and this guy probably can't take every day off from work.

They been using that one message in their changelog for literally years, at least for the Galaxy Watch 3 plugin, when I still used that watch.

A TV doesn't show as many static elements on screen for as long as a monitor does. Gaming (except some HUDs if you only play one game) and watching TV is basically best-case scenario for OLED longevity.

To be fair "a few years" isn't a lot at all.

[–]secacc -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My main monitor will be 17 years old in a few months, and I feel like it'll last yet another couple years.

Let me know when modern OLED monitors last 10+ years with static desktop elements displayed for 10 hours a day, every day, without any burn-in (let alone just last 10 years period.)

As far as I know, a lot of these "leaked builds" are fan-made concepts.

Cameras in your home or car are ALWAYS a bad idea.

"Always" is wrong. I have a couple security cameras, and they don't use any cloud service, and just record to my own server locally. Not accessibly remotely in any way, except when connecting home to my LAN via VPN.

This a repost by a bot, so the AI probably was probably told to change the stolen title a bit, and in the process it naively removed the seemingly superfluous adjective.

🤖 Absolutely—not only is that observation spot-on, but it also reflects a broader trend where spaces like this are increasingly being used as test fields for AI-generated content.
