I changed the home wifi from WPA2 to WPA3. Some Windows machine needs to rekey the password. HP Officejet Pro 8020 does not support WPA3 and has decided to remember my error, even after a "cold reset".

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8020 printer does not like WPA3. After network reset, via in Printer Maintenenance, I was unable to get it forget the SSID. Now I have to do a cold reset. Crossing fingers and toes

Over the weekend, I upgraded my phone's #Android14 to #Android15. This was the most difficult upgrade I have ever done. TWRP could not read the data partition properly. Everything was 0 bytes. In the end it was Telegram to the rescure.

If you are fat fingered like me always hitting "No" instead "Yes", on #Microsoft Authenticator, don't fret. Just enter the PIN and the Enter key (lower right), followed by your fingerprint.

If you send out a recurring meeting invite and is no longer needed, do not cancel it !!! Cancelling the recurring meeting will delete old occurrences.
Instead, end the recurrence this week or last. This will preserve the past occurrence in all attendees calendar.

Want to copy the output of your command on the command line? Instead of reaching for the mouse, you can just do command | clip
(so for example, echo blah | clip. This will copy blah to your clipboard)

Always take more photos than needed. Film and prints were expensive. Storage is now cheap. Don't forget photos of the outside of buildings and surrounding areas!!
i was very much on team “don’t document anything with comrades” until a comrade died and we all strained to find any photos of her, and had none with her.
you don’t have to & shouldn’t post right away, but you should archive the people and spaces that mean something to you. you won’t regret it.
