Still, don't they require ID and phone number and shit these days ?

I've got no idea. I haven't had to do either, but I've had my account for years, and pretty much only use it to keep track of birthdays.

I've used marketplace a few times for buying and haven't had to add any extra info, it just connects me with the seller through Messenger. I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.

Would a virtual machine work for this? Set up a minimal Linux distro with a browser and set the browser to delete cookies on exit, then only use it for Facebook. VMs are not perfectly secure, as I understand it, but I can't see Facebook tunnelling its way out of one.

He's got a point...

That's a really good idea, thanks for the link :)

That's a good idea :)

Whether it's true or not, veganism is associated with self righteous people, and also with complicated diets and the lack of nutrients nonsense. Plant based food isn't, and sounds like it's something that you can just pick up while you're shopping, rather than trying to figure out what you're supposed to do with quinoa and tofu.

So they didn't just add a k to infocenter? ;)

Brilliant, thank you :)

I'm going to give it a go over the weekend and see what happens :)

That looks ideal for me too, thanks for the link :)

Do you know if it works offline? So if I start an ebook or audiobook then lose my internet connection, can I carry on with the book?

I've been dreading booting back into Windows recently because I upgraded my motherboard/CPU and know they are going to make me buy another license.

Windows tends to be better at this these days. If this does happen though, go through the activation process and start the troubleshooter. There's an option there to transfer the licence from another machine. You should be able to transfer it from the same machine if Windows thinks it's a new one.

This assumes that it's the same version of Windows, but in your case it shouldn't be changing 👍

I've genuinely seen a post asking for help because DISM wouldn't run, where the recommended answer was to run DISM 🙈

I mean, if you were feeling particularly bored and mischievous, it wouldn't be too difficult to make a few fake accounts and post questions asking about why 'this traitor is ripping off Trump' 🤷🏻‍♂️

All the test strips I've ever used hold the blood at the opposite end to the machine. The blood is intentionally kept away and on something that can easily be disposed of.

As far as I can tell, the bulk of the testing strip is a conductor to take a signal from the end with the blood to the tester, which makes it seem like there's some sort of reaction on the blood end.

It's a 7th gen i5, so I've definitely had my money's worth :)

I'm hoping that epoxy will be enough. I'm going to strip everything out, clean and lube the hinge, then epoxy that in and rebuild the rest around it. I've got a replacement base, as that was also broken, and as the laptop shouldn't need to be opened again, I'm hoping that it will hold :)

I've got to give them their dues, it's a Stonebook branded Clevo laptop, and it's a 7th gen i5, so it's lasted a long time. It seems to have been dropped onto its corner, which broke the base and weakened this part. Hopefully the epoxy will do it :)

I've managed to find a replacement base, as that was broken too, but not this part. It looks like I should be able to fix it with some epoxy though :)

Stonebook branded Clevo laptop. It's been a rock solid workhorse in all fairness, but seems to have been dropped onto the corner.

Fair enough :)

She sounds similar to my mother. She's got a laptop that never moves too, but refuses to consider a desktop 🤷🏻‍♂️
