ng I can't believe I didn't notice. My old PC has more USB ports than this one. I'm kinda upset I didn't notice this earlier. Now I need to buy a USB hub. This might be good? TP-Link USB 3.0 hub UH400

Whatever you buy, make sure it's self-powered and you can pair it with a good AC adapter. USB 3.0 devices can draw up to 900 (6*150) mA of current each, but a single port will only give you exactly that.

What could cause a bios reset? Yesterday I shut down my pc, unplug from electricity, unplug gpu power, take gpu out (had to measure the fans), put gpu back in, turned pc on, and when i got to windows, my date was set to 2031. I manually changed it back and after every reboot it would go back to 2031. I then decided to go into bios, and when I got in, it said bios was reset.

bios battery got unplugged or has no charge?

[anon]

You used Doc Brown's DeLorean to buy some candy from the future for your niece, but forgot to turn off automatic time sync beforehand

A dead CMOS battery seems like the most likely explanation... and your ability to accidentally cause weird computer problems will always surprise me.

[anon]

So, now that OVH is done putting out the fire on one of their datacenters, it's time to get ready for stock drops and lawsuits from angry customers!

[yoco]

hm... I don't think I even touched the battery.

On the other note, can you disable adds on windows solitaire? Holy shit who thought it would be a good idea to put adds on such game????

[anon]

hm... I don't think I even touched the battery.

Maybe it didn't have a lot of charge to begin with

On the other note, can you disable adds on windows solitaire? Holy shit who thought it would be a good idea to put adds on such game????

Someone who is aware of the game's popularity and knows the ads will be seen by millions of people! Anyway, download "Solitaire XP" and problem solved (although I personally prefer the NT4 version, which has the "tornado" card design).

Kassel, March 05, 2021

On Saturday the 20th March 2021, a World-Wide Demonstration for Freedom, Peace, and
Democracy will take place in more than 40 countries all over the world.

We will reclaim our
fundamental rights, and take a stand against excessive Coronavirus restriction measures.

Objectives of our protest

Our Fundamental Human Rights have top priority, and are not negotiable.
The Excessive and Unlawful Coronavirus Restriction measures must end immediately.
The Unreasonable and Tyrannical suppression of dissent by police forces must be stopped.
In the past year, people’s Livelihoods and Freedoms have been destroyed by Lockdowns and Border
closures.
We have had our bodily autonomy violated by mask mandates, and plans to mandate Coronavirus
Vaccinations are being rolled out internationally.
These are unacceptable constraints on our Freedom.
We are taking a stand for 5 important Freedoms:

Freedom of Speech.
Freedom of Movement.
Freedom of Choice.
Freedom of Assembly.
Freedom of Health.

The Time for Action is Now.
We call on all opponents of the Coronavirus Restriction policies of their own government to participate
in this World-Wide Protest.
As one massive, united, and peaceful community, we will stand up and demand an end to the current
restrictions and authoritarian control measures.
Since the beginning of 2020, we have grown together locally and become a part of a broader
Freedom Movement around the World.
We have made many new friends, and found that we are not alone in our desire for Freedom.


Now we will stand up. One Day. Everyone Together

Our Diverse, Peaceful and Powerful movement will not be divided.
We reject all acts of violence, identity politics, and discrimination of any kind within our movement.
We would like to encourage and call on everyone to peaceably and publicly assemble, and speak out
against the Authoritarian Coronavirus restrictions that have damaged our lives more than any virus
has.
We have received an overwhelming amount of support from many countries and are collaborating
with organizers locally to deploy a wide variety of events.
We are thrilled to announce that on Saturday March 20th, 2021, we will all demonstrate one day
internationally for our Fundamental Human Rights, for our Constitutionally Protected Freedoms, and
for the end of the excessive Coronavirus restriction measures.

# W E W I L L A L L B E T H E R E



Now that each nation has established organizations for Freedom Demonstrations, this international
collaboration has been made possible, and will strengthen the resolve of our movement.
The actions of Governments during the Coronavirus pandemic is an International problem that calls
for an International response.
We stand together for humanitarian values, and as a beacon of true International Solidarity.
We are thankful that so many people are hearing our message, and responding to this call.


Notes on party politics

We are non-partisan and invite all people who can identify with our values for a conversation. We
are all Human, and we will not be divided. We Choose To Live Free.

We are the people!

M still amazed how yoco gets himself into tons of technical issues on PC

I'm mostly used to it by now. Mostly

I know anon is "bored" during Covid, so I'm keeping him occupied with my tech issues

[slikrapid]

so programmers are wondering how non-programmers get into tons of technical issues...

guess they forget the tons of issues the programmers themselves deal with on a daily basis, but due to experience manage to resolve on their own or with a few search engine queries

not to mention how programmers often fail to adapt their work to the non-programmer majority, which then becomes the source of tons of technical issues..

[Sazzy]

It's almost like everyone thinks in their own way and communication is hard.

Buuuuuuut also; Apparently it's incredibly hard to imagine the average IQ level or experience of those users. One of our users didn't know how to put her text in bold and when asked why she didn't click the bold B to do it, she said she didn't know what that button did and didn't want to click on it. She was 24, it wasn't even some old lady that never saw a computer before. That bold B button is pretty much standard in every text program there is and even any website that has some form of text input that allows markup. It even comes with a tooltip that says "Bold". Has she never ever, during her studies, opened MS Word before? How did she even graduate? I'm not calling her stupid but that level of ignorance is completely beyond me. While programmers do struggle thinking like their average user population (UI/UX is a big role and a job/specialization on its own these days for a reason), I feel like half of these people are completely beyond any help or best intentions from the developers side. It's definitely a problem on both ends.

(Not pointing at you here, yoco, as your questions are usually already fairly technical and hard to resolve )

My oh my, getting her to save the document must have been pure bologna. "Just click on the Save button, it looks like a floppy disk... floppy... like a Transformer whistling. Third one from the left. Yeah, that's right, now you need to click on it..."
