Linux@lemmy.world•What are good FLOSS software options for elderly people?English
2·6 days agoIf you are comparing on hardware you are missing the point. It comes with support and a free number they can call if something goes wrong. I don’t live in the same country as FIL so its was 100% worth it to make him happy with his computer.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•"Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature?English

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a good mechanical keyboard for gaming that doesn't cost a huge amount of money?English
5·28 days agoPut it on the top rack of your dishwasher and run a cycle with no soap. Then leave the keyboard upside down on a towel for 24 hours. I did that after my friend spilled a milkshake on my keyboard. Came out good as new.

/srv/nfsv4 192.168.0.10(ro,sync,secure,root_squash,subtree_check,fsid=0)Just leave off the subnet mask.
Hi, Would you kindly indulge me and explain your posting pattern. You’ve just asked 4 question in 4 minutes after not asking any questions for 30 days. You’ve also only once commented (looks like you deleted that). When I asked you about that you didn’t respond and you deleted the thread. Then you posted a new question. Now another. Are you OK? I’m reaching out in good faith here, what’s up?

With the charger I linked you don’t need the original charging bricks for any that use a USB cable, you only need the cable. Including iPad, iPhone, Macbook. It saves even more space.
Hotels will generally not have step down transformers in my experience. I would leave the us power strip at home. Instead get a charger like this https://us.ugreen.com/products/100w-6port-desktop-charger that can charge all your devices. It is dual voltage 50/60Hz and the power cable is removable so you can change for one with an euro plug that works almost everywhere in europe. You can bring a small adapter for the places where the euro plug doesn’t work if you are going to any.
