Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change?

  • Personal opinion, but it should show a single state and if it is active.

    • I tried, I really did

  • Don't give up too easily friend. I've been slowly moving some of my hone systems away from Window's, and much like you, I've spent close to 20 years as a Windows admin. I have the advantage of using Linux on my always ancient laptops over the years and it is my personal opinion that Debian is the way to go.

    Give LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) a go, it is very familiar to navigate coming from Windows and isn't going to have constant updates breaking stuff (looking at you Arch).

    First thing after installing run apt-get update, then add the Nvidia drivers (add the source to your sources and install, if you need help, post back and we've got you!) and reboot.

    • My home came with security cameras already installed. What is a good dvr box I can use to control them?

    Jump

  • My goal is to move to nice IP cams one day but for now I have analog cameras and a DVR in the closet hooked to a cheap monitor that's paid for.

    Try the app IPCamViewer by Robert Chou (here is a link to the lite version, I think there is an iOS one as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rcreations.ipcamviewer). It can view damn near any brand DVR, that at least let me view stuff remotely.

    If you want to up it another level, if your old school DVR supports RTSP, you can probably feed that into something like Frigate for real time alerts and object detection.

  • Where I live we usually put a batter in the waffle iron, doughs usually get shaped and put on a pan (or put into a loaf pan to make bread shaped bread). All that being said, I'm in the southern US, we aren't known for making sense most the time.

  • Clearly not a touch typist, then. The hands goes over the F and J (that's why the bumps are there on the keys, after all) and the fingers extend or fold to reach out to the other keys, but never move

    If my fingers never moved, everything further right than the pipe would be out of reach. Not to mention the entirety of the number pad. I pay for 100+ keys, I'm using them damnit! Lol

    On a lighter note, thanks for the engagement, even though we disagree its nice to hear someone's response!

  • If that is a defining quality of touch typists, I guess I'm far from one. My hand position moves all over the place as I type, but I haven't had to look for a key (or where my hand should go for whatever task) in a decade or so (I do have to look for a couple odd keys occasionally, only symbols I don't use frequently).

    Just easier to crtl + a lot of keys with the same hand, then the hand slides right back to where it was (similar to how some people hit crtl + alt + del with one hand while others use two).

  • Scroll lock is still super useful for me, maybe they could just use the right control key.
