Welcome to the Power Users community on Codidact!
Power Users is a Q&A site for questions about the usage of computer software and hardware. We are still a small site and would like to grow, so please consider joining our community. We are looking forward to your questions and answers; they are the building blocks of a repository of knowledge we are building together.

I want to start moving away from using Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, and instead move to Firefox. Firefox is an open-source web browser run by a non-profit, as well as the only major c...
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 ...
A MariaDB server is installed on a Linux server. How can a dump of the complete database be made, how it is at a single point in time, while preventing write access to the database during the dump...
Firefox family browsers. These have good compatibility because Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari are the browsers most commonly tested by web developers. With more obscure browsers, many commercial...
While I can't say for certain what tool the publishers used, you may wish to check out the para option of the LaTeX footmisc package. It automatically makes the formatting decision based on the foo...
Recently, most of questions got lot of downvotes(Even, this didn't happen to any other Codidact sub-site). In Q&A site's questions have 12 upvotes and 17 downvotes. I think most of people con...
The obvious starting point is that in a site called Power Users, questions should be power users' questions. So to take a glaring offender: I never used OBS before. I'm computer illiterate. ... ...
Open Broadcast Studio is a program to allow live mixing of video and audio sources. One might use it to direct a digital broadcast of a play using several live camera feeds and sending the result t...
A hash is a mathematical function that maps a large number to a much smaller number. Files can be considered numbers; graphics files are certainly amenable to that. For example, an MD5 hash is alw...
A starting point is the proposal. I'm going to quote from the question and from this answer. Again, these are starting points. Our current short description: Power User Codidact is a communit...
This is one of the use cases that motivated tag hierarchies. If we make windows-10-21h1 a child of windows-10, then anybody searching for windows-10 will also see the questions from child tags by ...
My Windows 10 laptop has a Scandinavian keyboard. Very convenient, as I can write the letters æ ø å with ease and ä ö with a couple of keystrokes. However, I am missing the quote symbols « and », ...
Hi Power Users! The "Code of Conduct" link in the tour leads to this URL, which produces a 500 error for me. The issue is 100% repeatable. I'm currently using Firefox 88 if that helps.
I would like to use a static site generator to create a personal blog. I'm new to SSGs (but not to blogs). Following some initial research and recommendations, I chose Datenstrom Yellow for its a...
I would like to export the entire history (thousands of messages) of a conversation from Microsoft Teams. There is no "save" or "export" functionality evident in the Windows client. I found some ...
We have a Windows Server, running Microsoft 2019 Essentials that is supposed to be on all of the time, but after a couple of days it will turn itself off, and then we have to manually turn it back ...
I don't know much about the server versions, but for Windows in general, you'll want to peek in the Event Viewer. It contains all the logs, floods of information, most of it irrelevant and uninter...
There are actually multiple questions here, each with a different (though related) answer: Q1. Why does the last line disappear and/or the character count shrink In the example you provided in you...
At the bottom of my profile page, there's a section labeled "Link with Stack Exchange," but it says You can't link a Stack Exchange account to your account on this site because there is no assoc...
Their is no way to import content from Stack Exchange sites in the meantime. You can only claim existing imported content (and Power User didn't import any content). And likely, there will no way ...
Although the website seems to be doing something different now (or possibly even based on our different browser settings), the common functionality leads me to believe this basic answer is correct:...
I had saved a number in my mobile a years ago (approximately) and, tried to contact via Imo Messenger. I had deleted Imo later that day. Yesterday I had downloaded Imo Messenger again. And, somehow...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
I think the knowledge requirement is roughly: The poster should have some experience working with the technology the question is about. The poster should have some experience working computers ...
The benefits of allowing "easy" questions The Software site already had an analogous discussion and the consensus came out fairly strongly in favour of accepting and answering beginner-level quest...
