      Doing a bit of QC of the latest 3D print before really worrying about work.

      It’s an 18650 to 2- D battery case. It should any ‘inline’ two D-cell battery device, like a flashlight. Overall, it printed just fine. Just have to fabricate the center conductor..

    • RE: Solarwinds Blames Intern for Laughable Password

      It’s been a number of years now that it was possible to set minimum requirements for a password. There is no reason for this to have happened...

      That said- is it the Intern’s fault, or the person / team that sets forth that policy...

    • RE: Lame MS Win 10 Annoyances ..

      @Pete-S said in Lame MS Win 10 Annoyances ..:

      So if you want it sorted in a particular way or whatever, you should open the files from the file explorer and not the application itself.

      This is the same view from Libre Office - Writer. It is as I want - and have come to expect:

      VLC:
      45a0ed51-29a9-4670-8002-ded5ffc4499d-image.png

      So - maybe it is as I have set it, and want. It's just that one program is jacked (IMHO) and likely little I will be able to do with it.

      Lame MS,.. Just LAME.

    • Lame MS Win 10 Annoyances ..

      I've been trying to get this view changed for weeks,.. and it never works.
      9e633baf-6a2a-416d-a0fe-a9c4154a3a6f-image.png

      Googled it, attempted it,.. and every process has left me with the same view - when opening a file/document from the application - in this case Ulitmaker CURA - which I use for the 3D printer. But doesn't matter what application used.

      When I use Explorer it is shown as preferred.

      I have no use for 'Sort by Date.' Not saying it isn't useful,.. but I have no need for it. I've reset Explorer, changed it to a difference view, and set as default. And yet,.. it remains in the sort by date.

      Isn't the default Explorer view supposed to be used by applications as well?

    • RE: Defective Laptop - how to get browsers bookmarks

      @DustinB3403 said in Defective Laptop - how to get browsers bookmarks:

      I would simply connect the drive to another computer and browse to the bookmarks location of each browser.

      Edge

      Firefox

      Chrome "For the current problem, the bookmarks are stored in a file named Bookmarks in the Chrome profile, which is stored in the User data area. (Example: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks) You can copy it to the new profile."

      That should get you up and online.

      Yup, I do this and the user gets pretty much a turn key experience. Anything chromium base will be like this,.. pretty much anyway.

      If you need, I can likely share the syntax I use for grabbing Chrome and Edge for a back up.

    • RE: Add file type to Office Save As: .ans

      As it turns out, it is called

      Text with Layout

      It uses txtlyt32.cnv which is in the (x86)\common file\Microsoft shared\Textcnv

      It is a standard MS-DOS text file with layout, or fixed columns.
