Thank you! That was very useful.

Dell did some non-standard trickery to allow more than 100W charging through a USB C connector. If it's one of those laptops it will only charge over 100W with a Dell USB charger.

I've been using Nova for a very long time. It has saved me all kinds of annoyance as I've switched phone brands and OS versions, since my basic UI has remained consistent.

Unless it actually takes a dive in quality, I will continue to use it, but this is disappointing news.

My sister lives in Alaska. The locals say that you can tell if you're in grizzly territory by checking any bear poop you find. If it contains bells and smell like bear spray, you know there are grizzlies nearby.

Polar bears will most likely hunt you, even if they don't immediately attack. They are terrifyingly good at it.

My thought was than an inset, taken as a whole circle, could be referred to as a cylinder. Like you, I couldn't really make sense of the description and was trying to interpret it. Based on the response above I was way off.

I think I understand now, but I've never seen a ring like that.

This comment and response elevated this discussion. I'm still laughing.

I think I understand. When you talk about cylinders on top of the ring you're referring to what are basically stripes inset into the surface of the ring. Do I have that right?

It sounds like you're looking for something similar to this, with more rounded edges: https://i.etsystatic.com/icm/a6e7f9/662727769/icm_fullxfull.662727769_1ui1u9fyb0hwgk0ogkws.jpg?version=0

I had that one custom made for me by a maker on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/titaniumknights?ref=profile_header

I don't know whether they could make what you need, but it is a place to start.

Best of luck!

My large dog would have carefully positioned himself under her to provide padding when the inevitable happened.

Cleo deserves to only have good days. Hang in there!

I don't think it's even about ruling, it's about needing to feel superior to . . . someone. Decades ago there was a wonderful article titled something like "Who Are You Better Than?". It talked about how people who know they are not, and never will be, members of the ruling class desperately need groups of people they can comfortably point to as being "beneath them". As long as they aren't at the bottom they can feel good about themselves.

There is nothing standard about that level of cuteness.

Company that makes Mice: Hey, what if we actually built a good mouse!

NWS is a great resource, but there are a startling number of other organizations that collect weather data.

I appreciate that. :-D

I appreciate the suggestion. I have thought about it, but part of what I wanted, like the original poster, was more localized information. NWS is great for overall data, but it doesn't get down to precise locations.

Oh, yeah. Not only did they take it away from all Android users, they also killed the API that let other apps access it. I wrote an open-source tool that made Dark Sky data available to Wear OS watch faces. It worked beautifully for several years, until Apple killed it.

The worst of it is that was my second attempt. An earlier version of the same tool worked with Weather Underground data. Then IBM bought it, changed the API completely, and priced it so that only business could afford it.

I haven't had the heart to try a third time.

Sorry, every once in a while I'm overcome with the need to whine about it.

I still run Windows 10 on my laptop. I have a few specialty apps that still require it, but I expect to switch to Linux rather than Windows 11. I also run a household server on Ubuntu Linux.

Thank you for bringing up a happy memory.
