Living Room / Subsidized apartment waiting list fees?
« on: February 19, 2022, 01:08 PM »
Hey.   8)

Since the people in Miami who are helping me to find subsidized housing are all connected to the homeless shelter that receives the largess of the bank that foreclosed on the condo I was living in, perhaps it is not paranoid to ask if anyone has ever heard of the low income client being charged a fee to get on the apartment waiting list?  (Sorry for the run-on sentence.)

I have found other discrepancies in some off the "information" I have gotten concerning other programs that benefit the public so now I tend to doubt anything I am told especially when it seems counterintuitive.  I was on several section 8 waiting lists in the past and was never asked for a dime to get on them.  Has anyone experienced the kind of thing I am talking about?

(I am talking about subsidized housing in the greater Miami Florida area.)

General Software Discussion / Vivaldi - add buttons to panel?
« on: November 04, 2021, 10:59 AM »
Just starting with Vivaldi again after a couple of years ignoring it.   ;D

It does not seem to want to let me add an Extensions Button to the default panel to make it like Opera.  Is there a trick to it?

So far video streaming seems to look and act well.  I don't know why browsers start and stop buffering/freezing when the version gets updated.  I have to keep switching browsers to watch video.  The main reason I have so many browsers on this Celeron Nightmare from Hell.  (Just an aside.)    8)

General Software Discussion / Opera comes with kitchen sink?
« on: August 05, 2021, 09:35 AM »
Anyone notice that Opera chromium based browser has exploded in size all of a sudden?  Unbidden they added a bunch of features that bloated the carcass too much for me.  I went bacjk to version 76.0.4017.94 and installed it importing bookmarks and extensions from the default browser(which was the new Opera  update.)  Then I renamed opera_autoupdate.exe to opera_autoupdate_NOT.exe and deleted the subfolders full of old updates.

If I was on a 1/2 TB SSD I probably would not care but I am using 32GB of estorage and stuff gets cramped quickly!   8)

Anyone using Macrium Reflect Free 8 yet?  Impressions?

I have been using Reflect Free v.7 to back up my laptop thing.  It only has 32GB of storage so just saving the whole thing is no big deal.  But I am curious if the v.8 of Free has any new bells and whistles.  Also I wonder if it is stable already.   ;D

Non-Windows Software / Android Spark email client user data creep
« on: March 09, 2021, 02:56 PM »
I have switched to Spark email client on my Android 8.0 phone.  I like it but for one issue.  The User Data shown keeps creeping up even though it is only supposed to cache emails, not permanently store them locally.  Pushing the Clear Data Android option in storage would force me to reenter the account info etc..  Not a great solution.

I have also sent this question to Spark support.  If I get a solution from them I will post it here.

One of the features I like about Spark is that by default I get a notification of the email with options to delete or archive it, etc. without having to open the client UI.  Kind of neat for a freebie.   8)
