When directly quoting somebody, I would like to quote them verbatim, and their writing style often clashes with Word's style/grammar checker. While I can manually ignore them, the squiggly lines al...
I'm posting the same answer on both sites, because the questions are basically the same. Personally, I am in favor of merging Linux Systems Codidact and Power Users Codidact, ideally by transferri...
Very briefly, bit rate is the rate at which individual bits are sent. Data rate is the rate at which data is effectively transferred. Not all bits carry data. Some are used for various out of ba...
In most recent Firefox versions I find it hard to distinguish the current tab at a glance, especially if the screen is set at low brightness. That is because the colors used for the current and oth...
I suspect that the camera is presenting itself as a USB PTP or MTP device. The fact that it is identified as a camera and not as a storage device certainly points in this direction. A quick check ...
but isn't deletion overkill? As explained in comments, I deleted the post because the text is verbatim copied from two posts, which were published under the cc by-sa license, but you did not i...
Firefox Enter about:config in the address bar. Type "decodeurl" in the search field. Set browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy to true. From the documentation: browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy ...
I'd like Firefox to automatically use the "Print using the system dialogue" setting: In older versions, I could use print.tab_modal.enabled = false in about:config to automatically get the ...
Since Power Users is essentially a super set of the Linux site, if a merger is to happen, it becomes natural to merge Linux into this site. I don't think anyone at Power Users would mind, *nix ques...
Due to "compression". The video is highly compressed. Some of that compression makes use of the picture not changing much from one frame to another. When you extracted individual frames, such co...
Option 1: Choose a different theme Just go to Settings > Extensions and Themes (shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+A) and choose a suitable theme. Option 2: Use CSS to set the exact tab color Firefox UI de...
Just exclude the second number. "50.. copies" site:torontopubliclibrary.ca will give results for any number greater or equal to 50. For getting natural numbers less than 50, just set the first to...
If you hover over screen shots, you can clearly see the screen shot links to Microsoft. Since the question is now deleted, I cannot verify that claim, but assuming it is true: Do you see how t...
I'm using a zsh shell with zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Za-z}' autoload -Uz compinit && compinit to allow tab completion regardless of capitalisation, e.g. cd desk w...
The url might not have been the best one to pick, but given that the question is verbatim the same as on other Q&A sites, I still think the presumption of a x-post is not so far fetched... T...
Right click on the file and view the file properties. In all likelihood, the file details in the file properties dialog will reveal what software this .msi file belongs to.[1] Deleting it should b...
MSI files can be unpacked using 7-Zip or similar software. The embedded files might offer additional insight into what the MSI actually is.
I'd like to use the similarities between files to produce a gzip archive that's as small as possible. On gzip's Wikipedia entry it says that: gzip is not to be confused with the ZIP archive for...
Just updated Windows (2022-06-17, version Windows 10 Pro 21H2) and now there's an eye-catching, ugly icon in the taskbar, which graphics suggests that Windows' intended target audience is children ...
This is up to the how the email client displays the images, which is something you as the sender have no control over. For embedded images, the client usually re-sizes them to fit in the preview a...
I think Power Users sounds better, but for an objective argument, and correct me if I'm wrong: It's easier to change a couple of image files than all textual occurrences of Power Users (besides th...

I'm using the firefox extension metrication. I only ever use it via its entry in the context menu, therefore I would like to remove its icon from the url bar to gain more space: I tried the sugg...
(My opinion, not as staff) I'd say that terminal software is on-topic here. You don't have to be a developer to use a terminal. Think of things like ffmpeg — not developer-oriented, just a generall...
