Windows 11 has a cool feature hidden in "device manager".

You can point it to a folder with drivers, without selecting a particular device, and without manually adding drivers 1 by 1, for each device. Just have Windows scan a whole folder, and it will add […]

Last night (1st screenshot), I noticed that, Vivaldi Sync was only 1/2 (half) working. That's not great, but it is better than being completely offline. This was process.

Today (2nd screenshot), I notice Vivaldi Sync is completely offline, again.

At […]

Vivaldi Sync is ONLINE 📶

It may still be cycling, and so not everyone, may see this back online, right away. But I noticed my browser extensions automatically installed, and sure enough, my data has synced.

My review was published on the "Better Business Bureau" website, with the understanding that I post a new review, should things change.

The BBB did moderate my review to exclude my location, though.

For over a year, GoNetSpeed kept e-mailing me and sending me post mail about singing up for their service. They also took a pre-order (*********** **). I still get emails telling me "coming soon", and now that they are 1/2 (half) a mile from my home, their website claims they are not building here. I called and they "claim" it is coming, but admit they seem to have stopped by the cemetery just down the street from me.

If Microsoft tells you it is a bug, they're lying.

I am sure there is a setting somewhere, that I am missing, but I really want to turn this off.

I am already asked if I want to save the file, and in my opinion, that is enough. Being asked a second time is just annoying.

Blocked me because I proved my point.

As I said, usually the people who have an issue with a non-bias news source, are basis themselves.

When Israel does something awful, and Palestine suffers, they'll report that in detail without giving an opinion, just as […]

The user asked me to say something about the Isreal Palistine conflict without bais. I did, but saying, both sides have commited war crimes and both sides are not innocent. That is not an opinion. That is a factual statment. The then said my reply was nonsense and blocked me. Screenshot shows they blocked me.

I finally found a download manager that work on both Windows and Linux, plus Apple macOS, and even BSD (FreeBSD).

What I like is it works with Vivaldi browser, too. Vivaldi is my favorite web browser, but oddly, the built-in download manager, would ignore […]

Although, only speculation, I notice this individual seems less like a prospecting journalist, and more like an advertising placeholder.

They made a similar post two (2) months ago, even starting it as their introduction to the Fediverse (see screenshot).

A post from two months ago, under the Sharkey hashtag, also making a similar statement. This one starts out as their introduction post. A post from today, two months later, setting up as if to both promote Sharkey while claiming to want to interview Sharkey users.

Go Net Speed fiber Internet has done a flip-flop. After accepting my order and, for almost a year, telling me it was "coming soon" and sending me emails and post mail telling me how great the service will be once it is here, now seems to report it may not be […]

2 Canadian quarters (25 cents each), 1 Canadian dime (10 cents), and 2 Canadian pennies (1 cent each) for a total of 62 cents. Only two pennies were American out of the 64 cents I received.

4x now, Donald Trump has said and implied that he would like to make Canada part of America.
