From the way it was worded one can imagine the new chargers magically detect whether the device is “compatible” or not and charge accordingly. No? Oh well, just another one for the disappointments rack.
Can always select one word and copy/paste it, the code doesn’t present a way of selecting a group of words (at least with finger swiping), unless there is a trick.
The battery drain on this one is still significant when used more frequently.Is it possible the new chargers that claim fast charging with compatible devices can wreck the batteries on very old phones?
The old tablet had the power button just around to the right of the micro USB outlet, which made disconnecting with the left hand and powering off with the right quick and easy, the A8 has the power on switch on the left and at the other end, really good for two left hands.
Still searching for a way to select, copy and paste text from these forums, at the moment it all makes like an impervious WOT. :pDo folks actually know how much this GPU driver contention is clogging up the internet? Almost 1.5 gb a pop now, and going up. 🙁
Heck no, the HP forums setup, the Welcome page with no banter or chatty sections leave a rather chill wind blowing through the topics. If the moderators aren’t androids, they are more likely descendants of the Children of the Damned, aliens from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or the Silence from Dr.Who.
Suggestions please. 🙂
Thanks, will try to make it fun, and shore up the good cheer, as it’s a visit to a sister with failing health. 🙁
Still have the S8, it’s been in use for at least 18 months now, operation is rather smooth, wants more delving under the hood. And time enough for a couple of personal gripes to have emerged, so off to post at the thread. 🙂A different tack might be to to procure a small stake-in placard having the text something like the following:
Every time they do something thoughtlessly, place it in the affected area for a couple of days, and do nothing else. It may work a little, as despite them claiming to not paying any attention, it would be something not to go unnoticed. And if they ignore it, just put more signs around the place, or slip a print in their letterbox or under their door etc. In the remote possibility they complain to the authorities, protest innocence.
That’s wonderful, love to see a picture of it. 🙂Done with regedit, try this:

Some of the programs in subscription have of late developed a tendency to want their users to click buttons rather than use the pull-down menus. Even if you end up using just the buttons, they won’t provide an option to hide the menus for whatever reason. On the other hand, clearing the clutter of useless buttons, gets a nice ribbon of wasted space – as mentioned here:

it’s fair to say that from the programmers’ perspective, these issues aren’t as easy as they first appear. 🙁
Edit: The HP did nag for a BIOS upgrade related restart a few weeks back, and after declining on 3 or 4 occasions, it then rebooted without prompting for saved files in N++. This time, it again prompted for a BIOS update, which went without a hitch – and without rebooting. Cool, … if there is a black screen or BSOD next restart, we’ll have a good indication as to the cause. 😛If there ever will be a fine satirical magazine like MAD on the stands again, yep, worth a thread. Still searching for humour, there are some stalwarts in isubscribe. Websites anyone? ComicsUK definitely worth a lookover, love the funny folks:
Seriously considering American Bystander, more my cuppa, 8 mags at $20 each cost a fair bit more than MAD reruns, with possible extra cartage for international customers.
Another funny thing happened today, purchased a 4L container of fish emulsion fertilizer which fell ever in the back of the ute during transit. Only a small quantity leaked out, unfortunately enough to soak the side of a fine hessian bag and some toilet mats. Despite the rubber tonneau, there’s bound to be a fishy odour around there for a while. 🙁All the way back from ’97, and now only three comments. There was Backyard Skateboarding in 2005 apparently, – and what’s Dr. Octogonapus got to do with it? 😛
Have you noticed that Explorer windows active in W11 shutdown are not restored after boot?Restore Previous folder windows at log-onis broken. Someone somewhere suggested PowerToys offer a solution, couldn’t find a reference in the docs other than WorkSpaces. Not a bad idea though, other than that, there’s an old AHK script on Reddit where it should be simple enough to configure. 🙂
Edit: Whoah, another one bites the dust. The mighty CodeProject has finally succumbed to the vicissitudes of time and costs. Don’t understand the bit about bandits though – are they supposed to be anything like the programmer bandits described in The Psychological Reasons for Software Project Failures?
