Does the Mac Mini have a GPU? This sounds like something that could happen due to a graphics driver issue. AFAIK Youtube relies on the HTML5 video element. If it freezes in all browsers, it's prob...
It's hard to comment definitively on this because both attack vectors and countermeasures evolve rapidly. My guess would be that Firefox would not allow tab X to see that you copied something on t...
[Comcast] said normally small businesses get a plan from a second internet provider, for example AT&T, to reduce the chances of the internet going down. I am wondering if that is actually the...
I have a custom spreadsheet viewer in Vim that splits the headers into a top pane and the rest into a bottom pane. I bind horizontal scrolling so that scrolling right keeps the headers above the co...
For context, I use Firefox to browse the Web. Some time ago, I followed some security- and privacy-oriented advice for configuring Firefox, which recommended (among many other things) disabling the...
My keyboard is getting old and occasionally I notice the key presses don't quite register. This keyboard uses membrane switches so I can see how they would wear out after a while and not be as resp...
Your only real option here is redundancy. Besides what manassehkatz explained already, you can also open a second office in a different location. It seems unlikely that internet would fail in two ...
Generally speaking the best thing is two different internet providers. Different means not just who you send the bill to but different physical networks. In most areas, your options are: One cab...
This is a small call center with maybe 20 employees. I do not know how many calls it is taking per day, how many field agents it is remotely dispatching, or how many customers it has, but you can e...
I believe the recommended solution by Apple would be to buy a more expensive phone with more storage. This is usually not a very good deal financially. For example, currently the iPhone 15 has a 1...
As far as I know, Apple iCloud does not offer much of a straightforward way to store a massive photo/video library in the cloud, and offload it from devices. iCloud backup features an "optimize st...
I have a home network, including a server (not on public internet) that runs various services. For example, a Nextcloud instance with family photos. Currently, the server is connected to my router...
After posting this, I realized that I could simply replace ~/Pictures/Webcam with a symlink. Perhaps this is what the devs intended, in some Zen/Koan way... I would still like to know if there is ...
I think the way to interpret the site name is not "this site is for power users only", but rather "this site is for any aspiring power user". It doesn't really matter if you're not an expert, and ...
While I was writing the answer, I realized that actually Selenium can be used to do this without any need for Dokuwiki plugins that support your specific use case. Selenium is an automated Chrome, ...
For Linux/macOS: Database -> Database Security... -> Change Password
How to change "Master Password" of KeePassXC Database? I Googled "keepasxc change password for database" but only found outdated results.
I am new to DokuWiki and have done the basic setup for a private wiki. I want to use it as an alternative to a spreadsheet I've been using to track my ratings and other notes for a category of pro...
As a quick and very dirty hack, one could stick some invisible characters, like em-spaces (U+2003), in front of the date. ```mermaid gantt tickInterval 1day axisFormat ...
I'm using the note taking app obsidian. In one of my notes I have a mermaid/gantt diagram which looks like this: Source code: ```mermaid gantt tickInterval 1day axisFormat %d %b dateFormat...
The obvious risk is probably developing myopia due to prolonged focusing on a near object. This is similar to the idea that being on the computer too much exacerbates myopia (and perhaps also the i...
Are there any free video recording apps for the iPhone which have a pause function? I want to be able to pause and resume my recording, so that the footage before and after the pause becomes part ...
Is there research into the effects of replacing physical monitors with virtual reality "monitors" for daily use? I imagine that VR is not great for one's eyes, but is it worse than a monitor 50cm f...
I use Cheese to take photos with my webcam. The photos get saved under ~/Pictures/Webcam which I don't like. I want them somewhere else. In typical, presumptuous Gnome fashion, there is no UI in C...
