Again, I think a good ad-blocker should SIMULATE that the ads have been displayed, or then, stop any page-specific feedback altogether / send false data back.-ital2 (December 05, 2018, 02:48 AM)
Sounds like this thread needs to be renamed to something like [FREE] Packt Book of the Day.-Deozaan (December 05, 2018, 01:38 AM)
Nah, just thought those that were interested in the Docker on Windows ebook might be interested in today's offering.-4wd (December 05, 2018, 03:50 AM)

New to forum, "My Personal Area" does this still exist?It doesn't -- it was removed when we simplified things and got rid of some of the harder to maintain custumizations on the forum.-mouser (December 04, 2018, 07:16 PM)
I ended up creating additional desktops in my c:\Users\Nicholas folder. Along with the usual Desktop folder.
So, I have there:
Desktop#0
Desktop#1
Desktop#2
Desktop#3
Then I have to change in the registry which desktop I want to use. Log out, and back in.
The additional desktops are blank slates. Lots of new real estate.

Microsoft has software to allow just that. It's called "Your Phone."
And yes, you need to link it to your phone using an app on your phone, but after that you should be able to text from your PC.
But if you don't have a phone and just want to send SMS messages to people using your PC, then I second Google Voice as an option.-Deozaan (December 02, 2018, 04:53 PM)
Many thanks for your quick response.
Reviews of suggested software are mixed! It requires registering from smartphone.
Ideally, registering and using from PC rather than smartphone involvement.-spooz2 (December 02, 2018, 11:29 AM)
Advocate of the devil here: Would it then not become just a numbers game? This post is liked by x amount of people on this forum? What does that add exactly?-Shades (November 30, 2018, 08:09 AM)
The point of it would be so that you could express thanks or approval or give some form of feedback without having to create a new reply which would therefore ping everyone who has signed up to be notified of new replies. It also helps keep threads on topic instead of having a bunch of superfluous "thanks" or "nice" replies.
This would be especially handy, IMO, in threads such as the latest Steam or GOG giveaways.
As things are now, I have to choose between no reply at all (which can give the OP the idea that nobody cared about what they had to say/share) or possibly bothering a bunch of people with notifications just to say something like "thanks" or "I enjoyed that" etc. Often times I choose the former.-Deozaan (November 30, 2018, 11:17 AM)

This is exactly my thinking behind the "upvote/like" system. There happens to be a lot of posts on DC where there are no replies at all because the reader may feel like it's "interesting" but have nothing useful to add to the topic. Clicking "Like" will allow the writer to know they didn't just waste their time and that the content was appreciated in some way-Stephen66515 (November 30, 2018, 11:21 AM)

I wonder if it's a new(ish) policy to just drop off the package and leave.-Deozaan (November 17, 2018, 08:23 PM)
I get notifications on my phone from UPS, USPS, and Amazon, whenever a package is delivered. Amazon even sends me a photo of the package sitting in my hallway.-app103 (November 21, 2018, 10:39 PM)
How did you get that set up?-wraith808 (November 21, 2018, 11:27 PM)
UPS MyChoice
USPS Informed Delivery
And Amazon has their own contractors that deliver in my area. I also have Amazon Prime, and their app installed on my phone. Not sure if there is anything else that one has to do to get alerts when one of their contractors drops off a package.-app103 (November 22, 2018, 05:46 PM)
