All of that would be great if it was actually available to me in the smaller country/market I live in, which is less of a priority for Google. I still paid for them as part of the phone.
I use Obsidian as a journal but I have year-long notes. Each day is a H2 heading and each task/note is an H3 heading, with structured tags for each task/note in the same line. This way I can quickly scroll through my…
It's down to supply and demand. You get a license from local govenrment, buy some nice furniture, hire some young people, and set up shop offering a nice looking product of beach access with food, drinks, service at…
Came here to say just this - it's probably the first extension I install everywhere and significantly improves usability and control. For Firefox it's this one:…
Low contraxt text tires me. I tend to toggle Reader Mode in my browser or simply click on this bookmarklet (a bookmarked link with the below in the URL field) that changes all fonts to "Open Sans" or "Lucinda Grande". I…

Oh wow I had forgotten about your wallpapers... I loved the blue earth with tiny airplanes so much that I became a paid member back in...2009. And my account still works! Kudos. Nowadays my monitors are always full of…
I do something similar with the old Gmail for Domains product (or whatever it was called before Workspace) - it lets me add real mailboxes but also have a catch-all, where everything else gets delivered to a specific…
He's had covid twice, once in June 2020 and now in December 2021, a good example of immunity by infection not being worth much.
I've been hosting dl at work for many years and it's filled our needs admirably. Simple, zero maintenance, just works. It even has a useful Thunderbird extension that auto-uploads any large attachment using the FileLink…
I've been using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sync-tab-grou... for hundreds of tabs. When I open up a tab group with many tabs in it, the extension loads all of them up (snoozed) in a way that takes a…
c:\install for downloads, once in a while cleaned out apart from directories that I want to preserve. Browsers download there by default. c:\work for work-related things, subfolder for each project. Listary (and other…
In the clients I've used (SQLYog, Mysql Workbench), aliasing a table lets you use autocomplete when referencing that alias followed by a dot. So, I will start with a SELECT * FROM myTable t, then go back and replace *…
Back when I was much more active on Undernet and EFNet, there was talk of 1-2 people actually having paid for an mIRC license. Personally, a couple years ago I found the latest nagging screen guilt-trippy enough that I…

I'm using PhraseExpress (free) too. I have a few macros set up for commonly used phrases, but thanks to its prefix matching and popup of multiple results, I also use it as a quick lookup tool for various strings so that…
I set up an OpenGoo (now FengOffice) instance internally where I work many years ago. We use it to store Notes, categorized in Projects and Subprojects. The interface makes it easy enough for non-technical people to use…
I have the 2017 X1 Carbon Yoga. As a laptop itself it's great, excellent keyboard and ergonomics, fast enough, good battery. What I didn't expect was to make so much use of its touch screen or "tent" form. It is very…
After a few failed starts with exercising and eating regimens, what really did it for me going to a nutritionist together with my significant other. The nutritionist built a pretty intuitive schedule for both of us,…
This brings back incredibly relevant memories: my first paid job back in 2002-2003 was maintaining an old Filemaker database and related forms. I ended up doing an Access database and created a few forms on top of it,…
