For Windows users, I want to recommend PowerToys: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

The “toys” that I use a lot are: PowerToys Awake: to keep my laptop awake even if I’m away from keyboard for a while.

Fancy Zones: to create my own layout of windows, especially on the ultra-wide monitor I have at work, it’s easy to have 3 smaller windows next to each other according to my layout.

Mouse Utilities, I often can’t find my mouse cursor, just pressing a hotkey will literally spotlight the cursor.

Quick Accent, especially for multi-lingual people this is really handy, though it takes a bit to get used to its working.

Another vote for Greenshot, I use it nearly daily for my work.

So? Leave it up for the humor.

Sometimes it’s because they’re getting answers they don’t like.

So gosh darn tired of that.

To those deleters, I want to say: if you don’t like the answers that you’re getting, tough shit buddy. Learn from your mistake. Leave the post up for other people to also learn.

Don’t blame him, he was that kid in that ipad commercial “What’s a computer?”

Some people are dealing with their smartphone addiction by going Dumb Phone.

I’ve been wondering the same. It’s been years. I live in western Europe. Could be an example of evolution, insects that fly higher survive more often, or climate change, there’s fewer insects about.

It used to be a big issue, now the biggest issue is bird poop and lice excretions.

What’s with the downvotes? Corsicanpuppy is right, that’s how you abbreviate decades.

The apostrophe denotes the removed 19 and 20, as in 1980s => '80s and 2000s => '00s.

I was ahead with reading during Dutch class.

We often had classical reading exercises where one student is tasked to read a text and at some point another student would be pointed at to take over. I was a pretty fast reader at the time and class was soooooo slow, and I figured I wouldn’t be called upon, because I had to do it the week before already, so I was ahead quite a bit in the text and there was 1 sentence that got repeated in the text.

You can guess the rest, I get called upon, my neighbour whispers the first few words of that one repeated sentence and I start reading from the wrong instance that sentence appeared. The entire class confused.

Got me detention that day.

Awww shucks!

I should use Voyager more often. But I Lemmy on laptop, tablet and phone, so it’s a bit hard to keep that synchronised, I guess :)

They clearly say they’re not Steve!

You guys are getting upvotes?

Firefox, I even go out of my way to install it on any company laptop I get. It’s not Google owned, I can easily change the default search engine to Kagi or Ecosia.

Why do you bother with an avatar for your Lemmy account?

Mine are an iPhone, an HP laptop (for work), an Apple TV, an iPad, a NUC (with Home Assistant, Nextcloud, Audiobookshelf), a PowKiddie RGB30, a SteamDeck (non-oled) and a Boox e-reader.

It’s primarily used for audiobooks. Those need to be stored somewhere.
The podcast feature of Audiobookshelf uses the same structure, so the server downloads the file and the client can then find it and either download it to your local device or stream it from your server.

If you don’t want that, I wouldn’t use Audiobookshelf as an intermediary tool. I’d use Pocket Casts, or antennapod or some such.

How so? That makes no sense. Obviously you will have to make sure to have downloaded the maps of the area you’re going to be in before going into that area, while you still have access to the internet. You can do this any time before leaving!

Big Motörhead fan?

Lets park this discussion for now, we’ll circle back to it later.
