  • Could someone explain this please? I'm still a noob.

  • Must be a Murphy bathtub.

  • It's really easy now to scan an entire book with your phone. There are apps (eg Scanner Pro) that can take pictures of two pages at once and split them into individual pdf pages.

    I done this with several books over the years. I place my phone on a tripod, point it down on a well lit book, and start scanning. A 300 page book might take about an hour to scan.

  • It depends on your needs. The typography and image quality is much superior for print than ebooks usually. That being said, I still get ebooks for large reference books so I can search them and copy/paste, eg programming related books. I also read foreign language ebooks so I can lookup the meaning of any word I don't know with my phone's dictionaries, or translate a phrase or sentence.

  • I keep tabs open for active projects. Once the project is over, I bookmark them for future reference.

  • They're very easy to install. It's almost as easy as installing a shower head.

    There are also compact battery powered portable handheld bidets that work about as well as the real thing. I have one I take with me on trips.

  • Not a protector per se, but I put this cover on my iPad that makes it feel like paper when you write on it. The cover magnetically attaches so I can put it on and take it off as needed.

  • I've had a mid-tier OLED tv the last few months. The colors and contrast look phenomenal to me. You get true black on OLED since each pixel is individually lit.

    I watch a lot of horror films which will have many dimly lit or night time scenes. OLED makes those scenes much easier to see because of increased contrast between dark and light.

  • So many people think Mac is an acronym for whatever reason, as in "Do you use MAC or PC?".

    I don't know why they think this. It was never formatted that way in any of Apple's marketing materials.

    It really annoys me. In my head when I read it I hear "MAC" pronounced in the voice of Gilbert Godfrey.

    I'm guessing they're confusing it with MAC addresses? They probably saw the term somewhere and wrongly assumed it had something to do with Apple Macs.

  • As Wi-Fi is a form of radio technology, we still basically do this today.

  • However, I'd expect businesses would also want to reduce cold and covid's impact on employee productivity? Wouldn't fewer employees needing to take sick time because of cold/covid increase their profits? Outside of businesses that profit from cold/covid, I don't see what the motivation for businesses would be against this vaccination.

  • Is this edition of Looney Tunes available on blu-ray? The Max version was a 4k restoration based off new scans of the film iirc.

  • What country are its servers located?

  • I use office on macOS. Points 1 and 2 work for me only if the document is saved locally and not on OneDrive.

  • With Word, people using section breaks when most of the time they should have used the simpler page break.

    Section breaks are supposed to be used if you want to have a change in the document layout in the middle of the document. This change could be with the margins, the orientation, the contents of the header or footer, the numbering (eg switch from roman numerals to arabic numerals), etc.

    But if you just want the line to move to the next page, use a page break. Section breaks increase the chance of unintended layout and page numbering inconsistencies.

    Microsoft should rename section break to "layout break" maybe.

    Also, related topic, I really hate it when people just input a bunch of line breaks to get the cursor to the next page, instead of a page break.

  • The peak of AI for me was generating images Muppet versions of the Breaking Bad cast; it's been downhill since.

  • Orion, an iOS webkit browser can run many (not all) Firefox and Chrome extensions.

  • I think this meme is referring to when Apple ripped out 32bit support in macOS a few years ago. I couldn't use Wine anymore to play old windows games on my Mac after that update for example.
