  • When you visit the Chrome website in edge, a pop up in the top right tells you to use edge instead. Imagine going to sign up for a new ISP and your current one injecting a popup telling you they’re better. I have no idea how MS are getting away with it

  • When my kids have trouble falling asleep, we play a game where I’ll ask them what they want to dream about. I then whisper the words in their ear and place their hand on their ear.

    I tell them if they sit up, the dream will fall out of their ear.

    Anyway, they’ve never once told me it doesn’t work, so if you want to come round tonight I’ll tuck you in!

  • Y2K is one of those stories we look back on and think what a silly old load of nonsense. Truth is, if it wasn’t for the countless hours of overtime people put in to making those outdated systems support the date change, it really would have been utter carnage. You saw how crazy things got when we started to run low on toilet paper for a few weeks.

  • I bought an ideapad pro 5i 14” a few days ago. I was delighted to see it ran Ubuntu perfectly with no driver issues.

    Ironically, the keyboard and trackpad didn’t work in windows until I installed the drivers (made for a more difficult install)

    What’s the long term usage like with Mint? Does it have decent battery life?

  • In the early 2000s it was exceptionally common to hear things referred to as “gay” if they were “bad” in some way. Chandler’s “Dad” in friends is one I look back on and shudder. I understand when boomers say things like “things were different back then, but our ability to reflect and do better is what moves our species forward. Not dig in and scream no!

  • You can still access the mail without the dns entries.

    If you used to enter, say for example mail.domain.com in your mail client. That would have pointed to an IP address of a mail server.

    Use that IP address instead of the domain name.

    I used to do email migration for a web design company and it happened all the time where dns switched before email was migrated.

    If your email was hosted by a third party like Google etc then the dns won’t matter.

  • 1: there’s a third party app called MailJerry - I’ve used it before for these types of migrations

    2: if you set the mail rules on iCloud.com, the emails will go in to their respective folders at the server level and you won’t need to configure it every time you set up a mail client.
