google translate is having a bad hair day --
I wanted to translate a German Dell support page to English -- it got translated to a mish-mash of mostly Dutch with spatterings of English.
Especially entertaing though were the feedback questions at the bottom:

@sportman12 this is now the thread for your install queries.
Please do the following:

how do I get a API  I am not a computer savy can you please tell me the directions to install it please
hi sportman, see the link below. For this bit you dont have to be computer savvy, just read the instructions carefully!!!!

  • you do have to tick the first couple of boxes, but,
  • you don't have to tick consent to receive emails from them
  • do tick the "I am not a robot" box -- you may be presented with some puzzle to solve to further prove your humanity

You will be told how to proceed (you will get the API per email). Let us know how you get on.

tomos I sign up do I have to install any thing or is the screenshot I showed you I use ?
So, I presume you have the API key.
Restart the install and add the API key as requested at that stage where you took the screenshot

General Software Discussion / Re: Windows 11 Announced
« on: July 03, 2021, 02:45 PM »
A related article (also ZDNet)
OK Microsoft, you win: I’m buying a Windows 11 PC

with this required hardware-enforced containerization and virtualization tech, Windows 11 will isolate applications and processes much more easily. It will be much more difficult for malware in an errantly running application to access resources it isn't supposed to. It will only access the resources in that specific application task that it infects, such as a particular browser tab.
if you're a Windows user --  consumer or enterprise -- you want this. If you don't have hardware that supports it, it's worth getting a new system.

The problem is that Microsoft buried the lead and employed bait-and-switch tactics to induce us to upgrade, rather than simply being straight with us from the beginning. What Microsoft should have said is: "Look, we can't implement these important architectural changes in the OS to protect you from the bad guys unless your hardware supports this."
OTOH, they say that if you have recent hardware that supports it, this and other security changes enforced in 11 are already implemented in Windows 10...

General Software Discussion / Re: Shortcuts software
« on: June 20, 2021, 11:53 AM »
It's fairly easy (using Everything here) to search for filetype, sort by date and Alt+drag somewhere to create shortcuts.
Updating with new files is probably more difficult, you would have to keep track of what date you last did it...

That is great ayryq! I like the second one better. Not sure I can put why into words, but I just like it!
agreed, especially the second one sounds great, well done !

The AskWoody "plus" newsletter gives good advice each month about updates and problems with same, and when it's (hopefully) okay to install.
It does cost but you can pay as little as $5 for a year iirc.

If you dislike the concept of RV's that much, you'll hate channels like this one about tiny houses (on or off wheels). 
Sounds interesting :-[
But the link not working here (?)

I have a ScreenshotCaptor version 4.41.0 with a digital signature of February 15, 2021. Why does ScreenshotCaptor version with a digital signature of May 31, 2021 exactly the same version number - 4.41.0? The author lacks digits for version numbering?
actually I think it was that he had too many digits for the previous model :P

Your suggestion [ Invalid Attachment ]
looks like it will work. Will have to get a pliers to the shelf for the top drive -- to move it down a fraction so as the screw holes line up. Will report back :up:
So, looking good (enough :p)
and working fine, with no funny sounds

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: How to change folder in CHS
« on: May 21, 2021, 05:55 AM »
I cannot change the folder where CHS stores the database and backup. I edited the ConfigDir.ini file to point to a different directory but CHS insists on pointing to the original one. I have shut down CHS and reloaded after making the change but it still goes to the original.

I also reinstalled CHS and changed the installation directory but it still insists on using the old one. I even deleted the old directory but CHS still created new files in the old directory.
-flowergardener (May 19, 2021, 11:17 PM)
are you using the portable version of CHS? (The databse would then normally be in the same directory as the software unless you put it in a folder with restricted write pesmissions e.g. 'Program Files'.)
or is the database in the 'Documents' folder? (this the default for the installable CHS).

FWIW I've never messed with the ini file. But I have moved from installed version to portable version (to test an alpha version) -- I simply unticked start with windows on the one I didnt want to use, and vice-versa on the other. I dont think there's any advantages (anyone?) to having one or the other.

What I've Learned has released a video on the topic:

(I've just started watching, but probably amn't qualified to comment on it anyways)

This seems to work very well :up:
adds a (1) to folder name if already exists.
For my use (tidying up scrappy mp3 folders and isos) it works well :up:

BTW, the top drive doesn't appear to have mounting screws on the side we can see?
I knew I wasnt happy with the solution so didnt fix it.

So, you went for the original



It's a great intro

^ will do that.

Had another hardware approach / idea -- there's holes in the bottom of the case, I could add another bracket, sideways, screwed into the floor of the PC. See sketch looking at open case from the side:

IMG_20210519_213817929~2.jpg

As said, this case is no good for multiple HDDs, so, medium term I'll be looking maybe at buying a decent case and trying to build something myself (will be a first).

This case can then revert to being a one SSD pc...
