Isn't that twice as much tarp as you need? 10801080pi for a circle the same size.

With 5¼" disks, it was more convenient to keep them in a ring binder by punching holes in them.

The other similar story I've heard is someone asking for the backup copy of a disk and being handed a photocopy.

Some laptops use magnets to help the lid snap closed. I took the back off an old Lenovo and could see the magnets clipped inside.

I felt sorry for the one that nearly drowned in the recent LA rains

I mean, most objects are not human.

I recently went to the bank to get a letter on their headed notepaper to act as proof of account ownership. They just printed it out on blank paper from a laser printer.

"Our Pixel range has a fast easy-to-find fingerprint reader on the back. It's possible to unlock the phone as you're removing it from your pocket without even trying. How can we improve that?"

"How about we hide a slow, unreliable one somewhere under the screen. You can't feel or see where it is. When you do find the right spot, it'll illuminate your finger with the light of a thousand suns. Then, it might unlock the phone, if you're lucky."

Is this another example of him hiding some disguised image, just as he hid a picture of the brain in the Adam And God painting?

If you wait long enough you can sometimes win the battle is wills and it goes out, meaning that the problem has fixed itself. Or that the bulb also now needs repairing.

Fun tip: if you’ve sorted the details list by cpu and the keep dancing around, hold down Ctrl to stop them from getting away while you kill them.

I once ran the windows Troubleshooter to get an old scanner working, and the final page told me to but a new scanner!

I plugged it in to a mini PC I use as a backup server and the scanner worked fine with Linux.

And another recommendation issue: I noticed that my Windows laptop has a "reduce your carbon footprint" settings section that tells me to reduce power settings, screen brightness etc. but it's completely lacking a "stop giving me AI search results in Bing" section.

That probably wasn't a virus.
